  This is probably the best chippy in edinburgh, personally I would recommend the King Rib or cheeseburger. It is hard to park outside during the day but at night it is no wonder that the place is always packed. One never has to wait long in the queue as the staff have an excellent system which has each customer dealt with speedily. The prices are reasonable and there is always a good selection. Unlike most other chip shops one never has to wait on anything.
  I would recommend caution very late at night as there is a high level of delinquents hanging around, as they generally do around the Drum Brae area.
  Ps. take a look at their specials as there is always something interesting.

  One of the best chippies in Edinburgh, the queue outside here at tea time shows just how good it is. The staff are very efficient at serving and I would not say you would wait more than 5 mins for your order to be taken.
  
  The food is so fresh, prices are pretty good. They always have a good stock of food so that there is no waiting around for your chicken breast (my favourite). I also love the king rib - so tasty, nice and crispy batter.

  I've only had chips from the Barbecue but they were probably the best chips that I've tasted in Edinburgh. Another sign that its a good chippie is that there always seems to be a queue out the door
