The best restaurants serving American food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Buck’s Bar did not disappoint! After doing a lot of research prior to our trip, Buck’s Bar was the top of our list for where we wanted to eat during our visit and thank goodness we did! Service: We went to Buck’s on our first evening in Edinburgh, after an early start travelling and a day of walking the city, we were SO excited for dinner in the evening. Getting to the restaurant, we were devastated to find out we were at the wrong Buck’s and that our reservation was for the chains second restaurant in the city. However, our amazing host, Dillon was quick to find us a table and also handled contacting the other restaurant to let them know we would not be turning up. Atmosphere: As soon as you arrive at Buck’s you are consumed by the amazing and electric atmosphere. The benefit of the restaurants relatively small size really shines here. It is a complete treat to all your senses, from the loud and cool music playing, smelling all of the INCREDIBLE food that is being served to the tables around you, walls and ceilings filled with so much art and design I’m pretty sure you could spot something new even after your tenth visit! Food: Wow, wow, WOW! Hands down the best food we have had for a very long time. Whilst deciding what to eat and waiting for our food we spent most of our time looking at the food being served on the surrounding tables and just drooling! We over-ordered, how could you not with such an amazing menu. Even when you are full, you can’t stop eating because the taste is just too good to refuse. We both got the Buck Mac burger (or named something similar) along with mac n cheese and pakoras sides. Every mouthful was amazing and savoured long after we had finished eating. Sadly, we did not have space for a pudding but the milkshakes being served around us looked divine - next visit for sure! Overall, in a word, EPIC! Dillon and the rest of the team’s level of attentiveness and friendliness felt like you were at a friends house for dinner rather than a restaurant chain. The atmosphere was so fun and reminiscent of my student days (though with money to enjoy this epic food!). And the food, words cannot describe the level of quality and flavour every item holds. You simply have to experience it yourself. We cannot wait to go back the next time be visit the city.

Great cake and coffee. Yes , I think it’s Ice cream is best in Edinburgh. My friend tested their special mince pork noodle , amazing price and delicious!

1st time here. Just across the road from work. Sat outside as it was sunny & hot. Didn't wait too long for someone to come to serve us. Meal was fresh well presented & hot. It was a very relaxing time. Not being rushed. Would recommend to everyone. So worth a visit if in the High Street.

The best donuts in Edinburgh!! We love the donuts here, with a really good range of vegan/dairy free donuts in loads of different flavours. We always have had great service here too, so thank you!

Nice location - Quartermile - welcoming staff. Lovely food freshly cooked. Burger and chips was very good and chicken fried Gordal olives absolutely amazing. A fairly Spartan burger joint with inside and outside seating. 3,staff all working hard even carrying the food downstairs, but they remained cheery and helpful despite being very busy and under pressure.

Very good experience. We stopped on way home for breakfast. Nice ambiance, good food and coffee. We had omelettes and coffee.

we visited here on Christmas Eve with 4 friend for food and a few drinks, lovely atmosphere and reasonable prices. We visited again today with another group of friends to watch the rugby and have some food, great service and we’ll definitely be back :)

I went to Dizzy Izzy's with some friends on a night out, the venue's grunge/rock decor is really cool (they have a Harley Davidson on display!). The music matched the venue perfectly. I highly recommend the Rock Star burger and fries, they had a 2-4-1 burger deal on at the time, it was the best burger I've had in years!! I'll be spreading the word 🙌

Fidandoci delle recensioni decidiamo di cenare qui. Prima cosa negativa dato che c’era la partita di rugby troviamo un menu dedicato alla serata con poca scelta. Optiamo per una t bone e una rib eye. Carne di qualità scarsa cotta male. Sicuramente non tornerei

Went for a late lunch/early dinner whilst we were on a day trip to Edinburgh. Situated right on Princes Street, this place was a gem to find, good value tasty food served by friendly and helpful staff, and it was reasonably priced too. If you're looking for somewhere that won't break the bank, with good food, nice decor and good service, look no further.

It looked good, however being the only 3 people in the restaurant it still took about an hour to receive our food 🧐🤨. To make matters worst the bill wasn’t split in three initially and created all manner of chaos with the Eat out to help out malarky. A simple void of the bill and re-doing split into three it with the discount applied would have been simpler but management refused 😒... Friendly waitresses but ended up in a bitter experience overall and i would not go back nor recommend...To boot the sausages were still a little undercooked.

Had the most amazing milkshake here .

Excellent meal. Our steak expert, Sam was very attentive and gave us excellent service. Definitely recommend.

Used to visit Smokestack often prior to emigrating a decade ago. Recently returned on holiday and loved it
