Reviews of McKirdy's Steakhouse

R. B.

First time eating here. Absolutely amazing. The mixed grill was great and everything was cooked to perfection. The cheesecake is one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten in my life. No exaggeration. Would highly recommend this place.

R. W.

Simple decor, relaxed atmosphere, sweet, friendly and helpful staff, food excellent, steak was cooked beautifully and perfectly juicy, peppercorn sauce was creamy, great texture and full of flavour, steak fries were chunky and crispy, would definitely recommend this place

T. H.

Awesome steak and burger. Decor is retro and maybe needs updating. Guys serving were friendly and price was reasonable for what we had.

L. D.

Great food, T-bone steak was so good! Highly recommended

Had a lovely meal, only gave it four stars because l didn't like where l was sitting.

M. C. B.

Went without reserving and luckily they got us a table so I recommend to reserve a table before going. We had ribeye, sirloin steak and chicken with chorizo and it was delicious cooked perfectly.

T. M.

This had to be one of the best steakhouses i have ever been to just amazing. We were in a group from Ireland and one of the lads had booked it a will before we got there just amazing

K. O.

Exceptionally good steak, cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend the Clansman sauce to accompany too. Pudding was also very nice but the steak was the main event for sure!

G. G.

Great food, great staff! Just excellent.

J. M.

Lush food, decent service, pricey but worth it. The d-rump was good but always hard to do it medium rare on a bit of meat that thick.

Visiting from the USA and wanted a good steak dinner. Small and quaint place with friendly staff. I ordered a glass of Malbec and the filet (rare) with Diane sauce.

Very good food. Very friendly staff great atmosphere.

P. C.

The staff is very friendly and the steak, omg, it's cooked to perfection, the cut is so fresh and juicey, the bourbon sauce is going to go to waste because the streak is so good, I can have it on its own. Married with a glass of Belvenie whisky. Can't end my night any better. Booking is recommended.

G.

Great steaks. Unpretentious family restaurant. Great find!

c. h.

Lovely portion size. The ribeye steak was cooked perfect, it was moist and juicy. It didn't however have much flavour hence only giving it 4/5. Although everything else was spot on if I could give it a 4.5 then that's what I'd say. Giving the option of how I wanted it cooked, either pan fried or on the grill charcoals . I chose grilled. Good selections of sides sauces and extras, I got a half rack of bbq ribs. Dine between 5.30 6.30 and get 20% off the total bill 👌 I'd definitely go back and recommend this restaurant.

A. F.

(Translated) Good, nothing to say .. the prices are in line with the average, on the ribs the "raw" bbq sauce was not top but the cooking was excellent, the meat was tender and the vegetables light and al dente. (Original) Buono, nulla da dire.. i prezzi sono in linea con la media, sulle costine la salsa bbq "a crudo" non era top ma la cottura era ottima, la carne era tenera e le verdure leggere e al dente.

R. I.

(Translated) Small but cozy place, friendly staff, excellent quality meat (Original) Locale piccolo ma accogliente personale gentile la carne di ottima qualità

C. G.

(Translated) We went for dinner because it was close to the apartment where we were staying. We ordered chicken wings with barbecue sauce as starters, which were delicious, and the meat dishes were unbeatable. If we return to Edinburgh we will repeat for sure. (Original) Fuimos a cenar porque nos quedaba cerca del apartamento en el que estábamos alojados. Pedimos como entrantes alas de pollo con salsa barbacoa que estaban deliciosas y los platos de carne inmejorables. Si volvemos a Edimburgo repetiremos seguro .

a. b.

If I could give this place 100 stars I would by far the best burger to pass my mouth, I had the black and blue burger 🍔 absolutely beautiful. My partner had the 10oz sirloin steak medium rare and it was a beautiful piece of meat, staff was lovely highly recommended. …

(Translated) Great restaurant! Friendly staff. Delicious steak. I love garlic spinach & red wine Delicious and friendly The price is expensive, but if you add thick meat, spinach and wine, it's perfect! (Original) Great restaurant! Friendly staff. Delicious steak. I love garlic spinach & red wine 맛있고 친절함 가격은 비싸지만 고기 두툼함 시금치와 와인까지 겻들이면 perfect!

A. S.

(Translated) Very quiet and welcoming place. The meat is nothing short of excellent, the steaks cooked perfectly. The fried food is also of good quality. Perhaps the only flaw is the limited selection of beers available, certainly not at the level of the pubs around it. Quite quick service and very kind staff (Original) Posto molto tranquillo e accogliente. La carne è a dir poco ottima, le bistecche cotte perfettamente. Anche il fritto è di buona qualità. Forse l'unica pecca è la limitata selezione di birre a disposizione, sicuramente non al livello dei pub che gli stanno attorno. Servizio abbastanza rapido e personale gentilissimo

T. B. M.

(Translated) Very delicious. Got nice pocket money. Others in the party had the tomahawk steak which was also absolutely fantastic. Friendly service. Would love to come back here. (Original) Meget lækkert. Fik dejlige lommekroner. Andre i selskabet fik tomahawk steak, som også var helt fantastiske. Venlig servering. Kommer gerne tilbage hertil.

V. P.

(Translated) Cozy restaurant with pleasant service. The food was good but our burgers lacked sauce. Eating a dry bun with meat and tomato is not much. (Original) Útulná restaurace s příjemnou obsluhou. Jídlo bylo dobré, ale v našich burgerech chyběla omáčka. Jíst suchou housku s masem a rajčetem je nic moc.

n. K.

(Translated) Fantastic food - clearly butchers who know their meat 👍🙂 (Original) Fantastisk mad - tydeligt at det er slagtere der kender deres kød 👍🙂

v. r.

(Translated) Complicated in finding it because it is immersed in a neighborhood that is not exactly central, but the search is worth the ticket. Really quality food friendly staff and professional quality beer Excellent value for money. The place where I ate the best in all of edinburgh (Original) Complicato nel trovarlo perché immerso in un quartiere non proprio centrale .ma la ricerca vale il biglietto. Cibo davvero di qualità personale cordiale e professionale birra di qualità Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Il locale dove ho mangiato meglio in tutta edimburgo

D.

Schickes Steakhouse mit einer guten Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken. Ich habe hier das erste Mal Haggis probiert und wurde von der Bedienung sehr gut beraten. Einen Haggis-Patty zum probieren gab es sogar auch noch. Ideal für den Abendausklang, hier kann man gut essen! (Translated) Chic steakhouse with a good selection of food and drinks. I tried haggis here for the first time and was very well advised by the waiter. There was even a haggis patty to try. Ideal for the end of the evening, you can eat well here!

(Translated) Excellent food with excellent quality, the service was pleasant. Comfortable welcome and nice cooking of the perfect meat. If you really want to find flaws, I would say the place is too small, the tables too (Original) Otimo cibo con ottima qualità , il servizio era gradevole. Accoglienza comoda e simpatica cottura della carne perfetta. Se proprio si vogliono trovare delle pecche, io direi il locale troppo piccolo, lo stesso i tavoli

c. s.

(Translated) One of the best places I've eaten. The burgers are very good, the staff very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a stone's throw from the main tourist sites, therefore very convenient for stopping to eat after a day spent touring the city. (Original) Uno dei migliori posti dove ho mangiato. Gli hamburger sono molto buoni, il personale molto gentile e disponibile. Il locale è a due passi dai principali luoghi turistici, quindi comodissimo per fermarsi a mangiare dopo una giornata passata a girare la città.

Spontan suchten wir das McKirdy´s Steakhouse auf. Wir wurden nett empfangen und platziert. Der Service war extrem freundlich und alles ging zügig. Unser Essen: 2x Burger (Black and Blue Burger), sowie eine Mix Grillplatte und ein RipEye steak. Alles war richtig gut, die Grillplatte und das Steak wie gewünscht auf den Punkt durch. Es gab einfach NICHTS zu meckern. In der Summe: Sehr feines kleines Restaurant mit wirklich gutem Essen, schönem Ambiente und sehr gutem Service. Preis-Leistung absolut angemessen! Unbedingt zu empfehlen. (Translated) We spontaneously went to McKirdy's Steakhouse. We were greeted nicely and seated. The service was extremely friendly and everything went quickly. Our food: 2x burgers (Black and Blue Burger), as well as a mixed grill plate and a RipEye steak. Everything was really good, the grill plate and the steak to the point as requested. There was simply NOTHING to complain about. In summary: Very fine small restaurant with really good food, a nice ambience and very good service. Value for money absolutely reasonable! Definitely recommended.

(Translated) It doesn't look like much from the outside, but we went there twice for dinner as it was close to the hotel. Good soups, haggis tower, over £ 20 per dish for meat, £ 16 for a great chicken breast with vegetables (Original) Da fuori non sembra un granché, ma ci siamo stati 2 volte per cena, dato che era vicino all'hotel. Buone zuppe, haggis tower, per la carne si spende più di 20£ a piatto,16£ per un'ottimo petto di pollo con verdure

I. B.

(Translated) It is a restaurant specializing in meat. The list is vast, but we focused on burgers. Good ingredients, the fries looked fresh, average meat. Two burgers with fries, a beer and a drink € 37. (Original) Si tratta di un ristorante specializzato in carne. La lista è vasta, ma noi ci siamo soffermati sugli hamburger. Ingredienti buoni, le patatine sembravano fresche, carne nella media. Due hamburger con patatine fritte, una birra e una bibita € 37.

(Translated) Small restaurant with excellent meat, near the center and the old town, very small tables, but efficient and friendly service, prices in my opinion slightly high, but basically current. (Original) Piccolo ristorante di ottima carne, vicino al centro e alla old town, tavoli molto piccoli, ma servizio efficiente e cordiale, prezzi a mio avviso leggermente alti, ma fondamentalmente correnti.

Sehr gutes Essen, das Fleisch ist richtig gut. Die Bedienung ist äußerst aufmerksam und sehr nett. Wirklich zu empfehlen! (Translated) Very good food, the meat is really good. The service is extremely attentive and very nice. Really recommended!

(Translated) Local and inglorious meat to my taste, with rather slow service. Unfriendly waiters. (Original) Locale e carne senza gloria a gusto mio, con servizio piuttosto lento. Camerieri poco cortesi.

I was at McKirdy's with 2 friends last evening. We had haggis, mini sausages and ribs for starters and all had steaks for mains. They were all excellent. The staff were all very friendly. All round a great restaurant.

I. G.

Great family dinner. Enjoyed every bit.

J. T.

Quite bland steaks which lacked seasoning, looked the part but lacked flavor. The sides were plentiful and tasty. Staff were friendly but inattentive at times. There are better places to get steaks in Edinburgh at similar prices.

R. R.

Excellent food. Friendly service. Outstanding haggis!

R. T.

Great service, excellent quality food, friendly atmosphere - loved it 🥰 …

A. P.

Went for the set menu and exceeded expectations. Brocoli and Stilton soup was very tasty, rump steak cooked perfectly and hunters chicken was so succulent. Would definitely recommend this place but then it should be great meat as its owned by butchers.

S. M.

Have to say that was an incredible meal with fantastic service. All the food was good but the steaks were exceptional. Very grateful to the staff for looking after us so well. 🙏 …

J. V.

Awesome, awesome steak cooked just the way I like it, and awesome staff as well

A. E.

Great steak house, cooked perfectly. If you had horse radish I would have given you 5 stars.

D. B.

Steak in this place is a total treat, and the staff clearly know a thing or two about it! Drink options are rather limited, they couldn't offer the full drinks menu at the time (as restaurants were only newly starting to reopen after lockdown) but even the full menu didn't have all that much on it. Let's face it, no-one comes to Scotland to drink Jack Daniels whisky. Would have liked to see some greater variety (and personally, I like red wine with my steak but I appreciate that's a me thing ;) )

P. A.

Brilliant steaks! Owned by a butcher so you do get the good stuff!

I. M.

Visited for first time on Saturday night. Excellent meal. Great steaks. Friendly staff and prompt service. Good value. Heartily recommended. Definitely return again

E. W.

Excellent service. Colin made sure we knew exactly what we were getting (he is the butcher after all), and explained all the options very well. The starters were lovely, and the ssteak was one of the best I've had. Thoroughly recommend going here.

J. D.

Hi All Especially at McKirdys steakhouse in Edinburgh. Well totally blown away by their food and hospitality. I came up from London to find a big and tasty steak and to be honest I found it here. Well done 👍

R. A.

Good steakhouse - could be great. The window claims the restaurant is owned by an award winning butchers so we dived straight into the steaks. Sirloin was tasty and well cooked. Onion rings were nice - not the soggy oversized ones you sometimes get at similar restaurants. Steak fries were freshly made and better than many - but double frying them would have made them superb. We had a very decent bottle of red. Whilst I enjoyed the meal it just felt there was something missing and if that were there this would be a great steakhouse. Just a bit of finesse in the presentation and finish of a couple of things, lifting the atmosphere which was a bit flat when we were in. Definitely going again though.

W. M.

Superb food. Had the haggis for starter was very tasty. Staff were excellent couldn't recommend enough. Steak was out of this world, I had the ribeye one of the best I've had 🤗 …

J.

Great place! Fitted me in last minute, a great little find!

i. h.

Lovely food n great service

A. C.

Food was amazing! Service took a while, but the food was worth the wait! Staff are extremely caring and take the time to talk to their customers. Hand on heart will go again!

D. M.

The food was spot on ! The staff is excepcional, great restaurant

A. G.

Steak cooked perfection. Mushroom and onion rings portion generous. Staff didn't rush Yolanda very attentive.

C. G.

Wonderful food. Friendly and helpful staff. We had a lovely evening and would definitely recommend this restaurant.

S. J. (.

I so want to give 5 stars, but 3 fillets of chicken were each too dry and chewy at the edges, even with the sauce. I didn't mention it as I was meeting 1 of my companions for the 1st time, and I don't like to complain about food when I know a great effort is put in. The staff are absolutely great, all aspects of service excellent. Eg Despite serving many other customers 1 of them remarked that she'd seen me come in with a walking stick, when I didn't have it out the case on the way out. I was so grateful for this reminder and personal attention.

D. G.

Average food at best. Thinnest ribeye I've ever had and overcooked which isn't surprising. One of the other steak strip dishes tasted of beef and not steak. one starter was simply a plate of sausages, we foolishly thought there would be more to this but nope. Basic/boring, cafe style interior, no privacy, slow but friendly service.

J. D.

Best steak in Edinburgh. Arrived before the dinner rush. Everything was very good. Had a local soup for a starter, which was delicious, very hearty. Salad was very fresh and a good serving, but not too much. Had a rib eye that was done to perfection. A side of mushrooms and it was steak heaven. No need for sauce here. Make reservations or get there early, a very busy spot.

B. T.

One word.....awesome !!! If you want plush carpets and swanky interior go somewhere else. If you want an amazing steak come here. Down to earth, great steaks. My fillet was cooked to perfection. Outstanding!!!

n.

My wife had an amazing steak smothered in melted cheese. I decided on the mixed grill and wow absolutely everything on the plate was amazing, right down to the little sausages. Even the onion rings were brilliant. Best black pudding, haggis, steak, lamb chops I've ever tasted. Obviously ill be back for more......

C. C.

Amazing food and dinning experience! Small place that smells delicious and tastes the same! We got the garlic mushrooms for an appetizer! The sauce was a must have. And I ordered the ribeye seared in a pan and it tasted wonderfully!

K. D.

What an absolute gem! Amazing locally sourced food ( quality you can tell) and great service with class and no fuss - loved it!

C. F.

Fantastic! Had the best rib eye steak of my life! May seem I'm joking but seriously check it out the food is yum! Really relaxed atmosphere staff friendly but not intrusive at all had a lovely meal.

A. G.

The best steak restaurant in edinburgh

A. W.

Popped in last night for an impromptu visit, the lady who found us seats on a busy Friday night was fantastic. The four of us had the ribeye steaks and sides, the food was out of this world, I’ve been recommending the place for years on the back of picking up customers in my cab, but now it will certainly be a personal recommendation after my first visit.

G. D.

Steaks were all good and reasonably priced. Service a little slow and little mix up on cooking method dropped rating from what would have been 5 stars.

M.

Great restaurant and food. Not really a massive meat fan, however the steaks here are always made exactly how you want them. The service from staff is always great.

n. s.

Best steak I've had in Edinburgh, got the tomahawk as recommended by waiter/butcher. Perfectly cooked and really tasty. Have been to most of the steak restaurants in Edinburgh but will head back here often.

M. H.

Fantasic food and the staff is very nice. If you have allergies they can give you information on the ingredients. If you are in Edinburgh, go there if you want a fantastic steak! Don't forget to order the pickled onions as well.

m. o. c.

Great food and very friendly service

K. G.

Great staff, food and atmosphere

J. G.

Very smart well laid out restaurant. I love steaks and burgers. If I had to eat steak every meal for the rest of my life I would not be devastated. Whilst I began to think the wait for the food was slightly long I understood why when it arrived. The nicest steak I've ever had. I'm 37 and I love steaks to put that in perspective. Outside on the window it says 'owned by butchers' and boy does this show. My chargrilled rump tasted unlike anything I've had before.... The chargrilled taste was superb. This was along with extremely nice on-the-vine tomatoes and curly fries. I savoured my steak from start to finish and have never wanted to pass on my appreciation to the chef because of their steak before. (unless the chef is the Mrs and you pretty much have to) A real steakhouse done well with emphasis on great cuts of meat brilliantly cooked.

G. C.

Great food, excellent service at a great price.

L. W.

This was definitely the best steak we have had in the UK. The staff were polite and efficient on an extremely busy night. Wonderful ambience a fantatic dining experience. Well done guys, highly recommended

C. E.

Had a good night, the food was ok. Nice that you could take your own wine but there's a £3 corkage charge. Relaxed atmosphere with friendly waiters.

P. M. D.

While in Edinburgh we dined out here food and service were excellent

T.

Great steaks and a good atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful. Less formal/quiet than some other good steak places in Edinburgh so perfect for meeting friends

M. M.

Best steak and Burgers in Scotland!!! The Mac n cheese is fantastic... 😀

K. G.

Love this steakhouse ! Best steaks cooked perfectly how you want. All food on the menu is delicious. You can bring your own drink too and just pay corkage.

F.

Delicious veggie burger and creme brulee for dessert 😋 …

R. B.

Very well prepared fillet steak. Friendly staff and good selection of drinks from the bar. My first taste of Haggis and it was not a disappointment!

G. C.

We need a place like this in Newcastle, food and service amazing! Loved the Chilli and Honey Wings, Prawn Cocktail, and garlic mushrooms starters, then we had Chargrilled tomahawk and biggest Burger on menu, and rack of lamb, and dessert cheese cake very nice too. Thank you finished off our weekend break lovely with a great final meal, will defo be back if we visit Edinburgh again. Pleasent evening.

A. P.

Meat was delicious and perfectly done, sides on the point and sauces add even more taste to the whole. All in all, 1st-class experience in a very informal yet fully professional place. I'll definitely be back 😊

E. C.

friendly staff, exceptional haggis and good value

M. H.

Steak and a choice of char grill or pan fried with curly fries can't be bad. Not had a bad meal there yet. It can be busy and worth booking also the app makes it easy. Street parking

c. c.

Absolutely brilliant service from Michael tonight and excellent hospitality considering the circumstances! The food was amazing. Thank you all for a lovely dining experience.

D. G.

If you're after a hearty steak then this is the place to visit. McKirdys is apparently a local butcher and it shows with excellent cuts of meat. I had a T-Bone that would have been easily 500 grams and cooked to perfection. As was my partners Rib-Eye that was closer to 300 grams (9oz). All the normal sides were available, curly fries were particularly good, and a variety of sauces. The price was cheap compared to other steak houses in town and although the place doesn't have someone playing Sinatra on a piano the quality of the food makes up for the lack of atmosphere. Wine list was decent. Basically if you want an outstanding steak in a no-fuss restaurant then this is the place in town.

C. S.

The food is brilliant and the service is brilliant they look after you . Will be back . I had a steak which melted in my mouth beautiful and my dessert was banoffe pie that was beautiful.

D. L.

Wow, steaks were top notch and service great. Be prepared to pay for top quality food, it's worth it

M. L. H.

Small place with good steak skills. I was here with my family. good value for the price. the atmosfere was not stunning but the meat was worth 10 stars....

I. D.

Great steak. Great food. Nice setting with good wine. Reasonable prices but service can be a little slow when they're busy.

T. H.

Visited for our boys day out, 17 of us, if you like steak this is the place to go in Edinburgh, the food is great, the steak pie was superb and the steaks were cooked to perfection, the black pudding and applestack starter was very tasty. A big thank you to Colin and his staff who looked after a rowdy bunch of boys. GGTTH.

R. J.

A good dinner. Steaks were cooked well. But chips were under done and the service was lacking.

M. T.

Walking in you would be forgiven for thinking you've walked back in time to a 90's Italian restaurant, but don't let the dated decor fool you. The staff were funny and helpful, very informative of the menu choices. The portion was very generous, the starter was like a main by itself. I had the mixed grill, the steak was soft and flavoursome, the lamb fell off the bone and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

N. H.

Staff very friendly, we had hunters chicken and lamb, both lovely and big portions

J. W.

Great food, service was excellent and friendly. Steaks were amazing, sat for ages afterwards enjoying a glass of wine, thoroughly good evening with friends

C. S.

Please don't be fouled by the interior... The food is extremely good, the service is excellent and don't get me started on the steaks. A place for every one who loves steaks. Must try!

M. Q.

Great steak, good drinks selection, staff are accomodating and friendly. Interior could do with sprucing up but hey that's not why you visit a restaurant!

C. S.

We are all group of steak lovers from Austria and just had a completly new meat experience unmatched by anything we tasted so far. Easily the best steak we had in all UK so far!

D. A.

An excellent little restaurant to go to for some great steaks and food. Staff are welcoming and attentive, the food is excellent.. In short - Great food, Great steaks, excellent service and a great selection of whisky's too. . A must try restaurant.....

C. F.

Lovely place and friendly staff. Had a starter and main and both courses were excellent.

C. A.

Fantastic!! Fantastic staff, Fantastic food. Our first visit to Edinburgh, well worth a visit if you're in the area.

D. T.

The food was lovely, nice staff could do with a freshen up Would go back

C. D.

Great dining experience, even though the company could have been substantially improved. Huge portions and a great value for money. Overall a wonderful evening

T. R.

Delicious food at a great price. We wanted to try haggis before we left Scotland and were so thrilled to bumble into McKirdy's. It was a wonderful experience all around. The food was high quality and everyone was friendly and helpful. Totally recommend.
