Ordered 2 x large breakfast. Drinks not recieved by the time food arrived. Had to go collect them sitting on end of bar after we had had finished eating. Coke flat and not chilled, can of monster warm *dont think this was because they were sitting think this was how they would have been served). No hash browns with food. Asked at the bar to have them sent out, should have been 6hash browns with 2 large breakfast. Only 4 came after we finished eating. Burned toast and barely 2 table spoons of beans with no juice wish I'd took a picture to show you how awful it was! Will not return. Sounds like I've just been picky but it really was not the regular wetherspoons cheap and cheerful we are used to and we eat in spoons all over the country 😞

WOW!!! What a great place! Highly recommended. Efficient, friendly & knowledgeable staff. Although extremely busy, staff kept up with clearing/cleaning tables. Although more expensive than other local Wetherspoons, it was good value. Will happily visit again!!!!

Great location. Reasonable prices. We just ordered pizzas which are usually good anyway. Its always really busy and you have to search for seats sometimes, but it's a good call if you need to refuel...

Last but not least of my visit to Edinburgh, had to wait around for 4 hours for my train so I thought why not go to spoons for some lunch and to genuinely waste some time, the booths made that entire stay so much better. Highly recommend if you want a quiet and nice atmosphere

Regular Wethers experience. It's next to a train station in Edinburgh which obviously affects the pricing but good selection of lager, beer and cider on top

No need to wait for guidance, just sit in an empty seat, order and pay through the app. So it's easy even if you don't know English well. The atmosphere is a noisy pub. The food is delicious and the price is reasonable. Maybe it was me, but I couldn't pay with my Salt Travel Card, so I used PayPal.

Half an hour wait for my drink. Went to the bar and asked for it and they believed my table number said 57, and then they said 77 was somewhere else. Very confusing as my table definitely says 77. Had to then drink a very flat pint. Awful

City centre Wetherspoons next to Edinburgh Waverley Station and handy for the shops on Princes Street. A bit little more expensive than the other nearly 'Spoons, but not outrageously so. A decent selection of beers, well poured by friendly staff.

Recently popped in for a quick pint before heading to the match. I came in and stood at the bar for over 5mins. Ignored by staff, I asked a surly bartender if I was at the wrong till? "Staff serve, not tills" he grunted. Terrible customer service. Left immediately.

Against my better judgment, I thought we would try again due to the location mainly. Ordered on the app for quickness. 25 minutes waiting on drinks. Staff were not interested, and one went as far as to ignore me. I wasn't rude. I just wanted to pick up our drinks. Very unhelpful. Dirty tables. Cleared quick enough but were not cleaned. Will not be back.

Ate here on a Saturday and Sunday morning relatively early on (between 7 and 8) - it was almost completely empty. The Saturday's breakfast was great, the Sunday's looked like it had just done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. But ultimately you pay for what you get. Service was friendly and food came out fairly quickly.

This Wetherspoons is in a great location right next to Waverley Train Station and Market with lovely views of the castle from the beer garden.

The Booking Office is what I like to call quite a "happening" place. The atmosphere was brilliant with a packed out bar but still able to find somewhere to sit & eat. I had the small ham egg & chips while my partner went fot the brunch wrap, standard English pub fayre, cheap and cheerful, on the slightly more expensive end of cheap. Can't really complain, it's a Wetherspoon & they do their best.

This was an amazing place to have beers and very close to Princes Street and the waverly market. I didn't actually have the food, but the pizzas looked really good. Service was fantastic and people were really warm and welcoming. There is a library of options to choose from when it comes to the drinks. We tried the Edinburgh Gold and it was smooth. We actually went back multiple times since most of the time we were using this road to get to the royal mile. It has outside seating as well. Do check it out, you won't be disappointed.

The food was pretty standard breakfast fare and was nicely cooked. Found the QR code menu on the table easy to use, although was unable to order hot drinks from it for some reason. Therefore, had to queue at the bar to order coffee, which was a bit of a nuisance. Overall though, I was happy and would eat there again

Went in as a group of six at a day out at the races. Fat barman said we were swearing on the way in. One person was telling a story and swearing and we were not allowed to buy a drink or food although we were all starving. Their loss attitude was awful and the manager didn’t really agree with the barman’s decision but stood by it although she didn’t know anything about it. Will not be back

I know this is a spoons, and you expect what yoy pay for, but having to return a steak meal twice for being severally over cooked both times, and wine that should have been poured over vinegar, not served in a glass, just outshines all the bad experiences in most other ones. One team leader was fantastic, the other needs a train in customer service. Staff picking up wine glasses by the top, an absolute no no. While the bad food and Drink experience, there was also a pigeon inside, now we know this happens, but as I'm terribly afraid of birds, and the fact the team kept trying to coax it right over my head, didn't leave any a better taste for the service, they could clearly see I was unhappy.
