Friendly waiters, food is ok. I have to say I am not a burger person. Some burgers I like but they have to be extremely good, and I mean not dry with this. I had the Buffalo burger with terriyaki, pineapple and replaced the bacon for mushrooms at no extra cost. It was quite good, buffalo burger a bit dry but I think that will always be the case as it has less fat as regular beef. The cajun fries are great if you like spicy!

This place has the best burgers in Edinburgh. There’s plenty of choice when it comes to burgers — ALLPRETTYDAMNTASTY! You can also choose the type of meat you want. Have you seen the tray of chilli sauce??? Again, this place has the best burgers in Edinburgh. You won’t know till you try it!

So according to my fellow Unilocalers, this place does a decent burger worth trying. So that’s exactly what I did one night after working late and being too darn lazy to cook my own food. Luckily, there was one table left for us to have a brief sit down, in future this place will need a booking to secure a spot. The service felt somewhat rushed since there was a booking following us which kind of ruined the experience of having a relaxing meal, staff also kept the reserved sign on the table during my meal which I felt was kind of rude– I get it, I’ll leave! The burgers were pretty good, I had the three alarm burger which was just spicy enough, meat was well cooked. I prefer a warm bun and the bread was slightly chewy, but the toppings complimented the burger well. The sides of fries and onion rings were pretty good, generic and nothing amazing, but good. I will return with a booking next time in the hopes of enjoying my meal. Service and sides aside, I would agree the Cambridge Bar does a decent burger worth returning for.

Priced resonably(but without fries) and good cheeseburger with bbq sauce and great meat althought not grilled. Only complaint is for the bun which should be softer.

We just came in for drinks, but this bar has that great neighborhood bar feel to it. There were nice comfy chairs to sit in and enjoy our drinks. It was only a block from our townhouse. Good selection of Scotch and beer. Would definitely be a place I came after work to get a drink if i lived in the area.

If I could include a picture to represent my feelings of this place, it would be a chipmunk with its cheeks mightily stuffed. And maybe some hearts above its head and stars in its eyes. You get the idea. The Cambridge is a cozy little joint that I ventured to for the first time with the friends who’d recommended it. I’m grateful they did, because now I can return in the future when my American heart begins lusting for grease and cheese. Mmmmf. This place easily warrants five stars in my opinion. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The bar has a decent stock and I was pleasantly surprised at the cost of a good bottled brew and a coke. Then there’s the menu: three veggie burgers to choose from? Well my, my! And what’s that? Cajun fries?! Cue my arteries clogging with reckless abandon!(Side note: the portobello burger is amazing but torrential juicy. Beware if you’re on a first date, or trying to look less than slobbish in front if friends!) You can also watch the cooks working their magic if you sit in the right spot, which I found distractingly fun.(bro-fist to the guy with the American flag bandana doin’ his thing.) Will assuredly be back, with bells on!

Came here on Sunday for lunch and had an absolutely delicious halloumi burger, while my boyfriend had the Aussie beef burger. Whatever rumours of legendary burgers exist about the Cambridge Bar, they’re all true. Both burgers were generously portioned – typical halloumi burgers feature a small slice of halloumi but this one was enormous – and well-seasoned and very, very tasty. We also had vanilla and peanut butter milkshakes were are even now making my mouth water just thinking about them. Next time I have a hankering for a burger, this is absolutely where I’d go, and I’d recommend it wholeheartedly.

Hands down. Theee best burger I have had in Edinburgh. Delicious. Clearly homemade and cooked perfectly… still a little pink in the middle! I love the space that they have in the Cambridge. It looks and feels like a traditional, verging on the scale of ‘old man-ish’. But you only realise once you get in that looks can be very misleading. My only issues with the Cambridge is that chips do not come as a standard side… your £7/8/9 is just the burger. Nothing else… still totally reasonable given the quality. The plate just looks a little empty! I would also note this place is pretty busy! Twice it was just too busy to even think of waiting. Other two times I did stay but had to wait for a table! But definitely a must on the burger front!!!

It’s taken me almost 3 years to come to the Cambridge Bar. The rumour of their legendary burgers kept them on my bucket-eat list for that time, but I just never made it here. Till Joe A suggested a quick, cheeky burger lunch and I was IN. It’s a cool wee bar, I liked the folk who were working there as soon as I walked in. A few screens for football, but small; and a kind of rocky feel; so it felt quite homely to me straight away.(It’s definitely not a rock bar though, it just had that familiar, homely, laid back feel; a million miles away from the faux-dahling of George Street one street up.) Coming here for food, there is really only one thing you can get — the burger. It’s a pretty extensive list, with a variety of unusual toppings. I opted for the venison burger, and swapped out the brie and cranberry for mushrooms. Joe took the Teriyaki, a pineapple ring covered(practically oozing) teriyaki sauce. The burger comes as it is, pretty tall, nice big meat patty, generous toppings. But no fries. Those are on the side. For £2.50. And the burger is arond £8.95. So that’s £12 for a burger and fries… ouch. That’s paying the highest end premium for a burger and fries. I can’t quite work out why it’s so expensive. Most places will charge £8 — £10 for a burger, fries and slaw; of an equally good quality. So… yeah, ouch. The burger was really tasty, a really big patty(probably a bigger venison burger than at Holyrood 9A). The fries were chunky-ish. The food was really tasty, it was a great lunch, and it came out quickly; which suited my 45 minute lunch-slot well. I’d definitely go back, the venison burger hit the spot really nicely. Maybe it’ll be a pay-day when I’m feeling flush lunchtime number. Next up, I want to try the Fajita(which is different to the Mexican). Big kudos for the very varied burger toppings!

The Camembert burger at The Cambridge Bar is a savory treat. A char-grilled beef patty is accompanied by Camembert cheese, cranberry sauce, lettuce, and tomato. The burger is a sandwiched between a soft sesame seed bun, which pairs well with the cranberry sauce. Upon biting into the burger, I was reminded of a classic Thanksgiving dinner in the United States. I opted to remove the tomato and the lettuce from the burger; since I found the simple combination of beef + cranberry + cheese to be a delight(the lettuce and tomato were ruining the texture and getting in the way). I was not asked how I would like my beef cooked and I found it a little dry. Thankfully, the cranberry and melted Camembert made up for some of this dryness and I think this burger would hold up against the best Scotland has to offer.

Edinburgh: The Cambridge. I went for the classic cheese burger and I found such a beautiful juicy meat, but a bread that could be improved easily. I will rate it 8.5÷10 cause the bread. I will suggest to book before. £7.5

Very good bar centrally located but nestled away from all the shoppers on george/princes streets. I love coming here for their burgers. I normally go for their blue cheese burger. They use fresh ingredients and the meat is very tender and juicy. I like how they use Boston lettuce(may go as another name in the UK). Burgers range from £8−9 but don’t come with a side. Their onion rings are really good! It might be slightly more expensive for your typical gourmet pub burger but the atmosphere and the service make up for it! They have an excellent array of beer to choose from so you will not go thirsty. Some lovely wines and ciders too. I went last night after work and I was really pleased with the service. Our server was very helpful and accommodating. It’s useful to make a reservation because they can get pretty busy!

I knew of the Cambridge Bars reputation for burgers(which I’ve yet to sample) but wasn’t too sure about what else would be good. Holy-moley its beer central! It was busy when we were in but a good crowd and it was not overly noisy/crowded so we stayed for a few. I loved the huge range of beers/lagers/ale’s(and ciders) on offer. Although I was strictly on the gin, having already mixed my grapes and grains, my amigo’s were happy sampling the offerings, including some rarer varieties on tap. I’ll definitely come back here as they do GF beer! Yep, Estrella Dura bottled is available here which makes me v happy as I can literally head to the pub for a beer and not be the odd one out. Perfect.

Lucky enough to squeeze into here on a Saturday for lunch — we walked in about 2 minutes after opening and there were only two spots for two people available. The rest of the place was booked out which must be a good sign, I though… I ordered an Aussie burger(love beetroot and pineapple and egg. :P) and my eating partner ordered the special(Venison with Blue cheese). A single serving of chips and two pints of the guest ale rounded out the venture. I’m a strong believer in being able to eat a burger with your hands, it was manageable(in a way the burgers at Sygn weren’t) although to be honest the Aussie dropped its guts half way through eating and I had to go the fingers and fork option :) Beef was very tasty and NEARLY as good as an Aussie burger with the lot back home :). very enjoyable and stuffed at completion. Chips were yumbo — crunchy and fresh. Will try Onion rings next visit.

The boy and I stopped in here after I dragged him, fresh off the plane, all around town. We were starving and tired, after a cold pint and a filling bite to eat. Cambridge Bar surely delivered. The décor is simple and the place is quite small, but we were there fairly early in the dinner hour so it was mostly empty, although it did begin to fill up as we left. Luckily it was quiet and we could keep up with the FIFA game on the telly. The staff is extremely friendly — our server brought us tastes of the beers before we had to settle on a proper pint, and wrapped up my half burger at the end after it got the best of me. And the burger… oof, the burger. Half as big as my head, dripping with gooey aged Cheddar, tangy BBQ sauce, onions and fresh tomato, bacon heaped on top of a hefty beef patty and a fluffy sesame-encrusted bun. It was enormous and honestly I was struggling a bit with getting the thing compact enough to actually eat. As I said earlier, it did get the best of me in the end, although the boy scarfed his down no problem. Boys. The chips are delicious as well, although I think for the price it would have been nice if chips were included. Still, £25 for two pints, two burgers and an order of chips isn’t too shabby. Cambridge Bar is on my hot list for sure.

Cambridge Bar you say? Nay says I, it be the Cambridge Burger!!! Cambridge Burger are two words that when used together around the city generate a response of «ahhh I love that place» and its fair the burgers are phenomenal. My choices have always been either Italian Beef — Burger topped with mozzarella, piles of pesto and a sharp relish or simple chciken burger — WHOLE chicken brest, mayo and lettuce! I only have one issue with this place and thats the size, its just so damn small. If you are a group and you dont book you have no chance! i have been once or twice with a friend and we ahve ended up sat at the bar which I dont mind at all given the staff have some great banter(older sister of one of the eclectic slightly wird staff in Victoria works here) and the female staff have well always been pretty hott: D! So overall all for a pint, a burger and for rugby/golf watching this place is ace. Jd = very happy man!!!
