About This Pub
Ah, The Black Fox – it's one of those hidden gems in Edinburgh that just draws you in for a relaxed evening out. From what I've gathered from folks who've been, the food really shines; the burgers and sides like nachos and haggis bon bons are spot on, making it a brilliant choice if you're after something hearty and flavoursome. Pair that with their excellent beer selection, and you've got yourself a proper pub experience. The team behind the bar are absolute stars, always friendly and keen to make sure you're enjoying yourself, which adds to that warm, inviting feel. On the flip side, it's worth noting that the venue is quite compact, so it can get a bit snug during busier times, and occasionally the service doesn't quite hit the mark – you might find yourself waiting around or heading to the bar to sort things out. All in all, it's a solid spot for pub goers looking for good grub and a chat, but keep those little niggles in mind for a balanced night out.

Great Burger I had their signature fox burger. Guy working there said it's the least ordered on the menu but I can't understand why because it was amazing. Highly recommend! Plenty of good pints on draught too
Tasty burger. Good nachos. Excellent haggis bon bons. Nice pint too. Hit the spot.
Very casual place for a burger and a pint. Burger was ok, nothing special. I got the classic. I was expecting more flavor from the patty but it was a bit dry. The fries were delcious and crunchy. Otherwise, still had a good meal. Staff was very friendly, welcoming, and kind of enough to provide hot sauce.
This was our first restaurant experience while visiting Edinburgh. It was a weekend night. The place is kinda small. They were expecting a group of people so they stuck us in a corner. We ordered our food and drinks. Once we got them, we never saw a waitress again. We got up to pay at the bar. Food was good. Service was ok.
Came in here for a couple drinks and some dinner with friends a week or so ago. We reserved a table as the place isn’t huge inside. Menu was decent and we had some really tasty burgers! Beer / alcohol selection is also really great. Staff were all lovely, and the place had a really cool vibe too!
