text: last night was my first visit to the original gourmet burger togo place in Edinburgh i would been to the other Holyrood a branches so i was looking forward to visiting the original and seeing if the burgers here were still the best in townnnthe answer is no they are not really edinburgh has recently seen a wealth of new burger places pop up and only really one stands out for me for having really awesome burgers however my visit to Holyrood a was very firmly AOK when i arrived at half past five the place was just moderately busy so we all hoped it would be a quick dinner and we could be out the door to our event without any hasslennhowever that was not the case we asked for some water while we quickly looked over the menu but then the waitress disappeared for almost ten minutes but thankfully reappeared with our water and quickly took our order however it was over a ten minute wait to get three beers we did not feel overly confident that our burgers would arrive in a reasonable amount of time but thankfully they didnni got the cheese burger which is their original burger with cheese added the burger was ok the patty was on the juicer side and the pickle added a nice tang the cheese was a bit too bland to stand up to the mustard sauce that was on the burger the biggest problem was the bun it was hard and chewy and after a few bites i decided to just leave it and eat the burger the best part of the meal was the sweet potato fries that are reliably good nnsince we would asked for our bill when the food arrived we were able to just leave cash and depart quickly to get onto our event but i have to say overall i was not that impressed with Holyrood a the service is slow and the burgers are only ok i probably will not be rushing back with all the other options now available in edinburgh
