Feedback
Reviews praise Smoke Stack’s friendly staff, standout tomato-basil soup, solid fish & chips and gluten-free beer options; some guests note vegetables aren’t always included with mains.
Another local one for us, this time we went out with our family and decided to go for some burgers and the like. None to bad, service fine food was rather tasty and a good night was had by all. Enjoyable.
My friends and I were visiting Edinburgh for new year's, and the owners of the restaurant told us about the place. And we sat down and ate, the food was really good and delicious. I had the vegetarian Haggis, neeps and tatties. For dessert I tried the cranachan. My friend had the pork Haggis and she loved it. The staff was very helpful and hospitable.
Chicken and haggis was good, service was good nice of them to provide tap water without asking. Personally, I feel like vegetables should be included in the price when ordering a main meal.
Definitely a place you must go to while in Edinburgh. Went for a pre theatre meal and had the tomato basil soup and fish and chips. Was the best soup I've had in a while. Definitely will go back just for that if I can. The fish and chips were great as well. Not soggy like some places I've been too. The hostess was nice and pleasant and very accommodating as well. The price is right which makes it even better!
We came for breakfast and really enjoyed our meal. The interior is very cool and they even have a decent bathroom with nice toiletries and towels. Good service.
