We chose to go to Katie's Diner based on the positive reviews on TA. Husband wanted steak for dinner and we normally go to Buffalo Grill but fancied a change. The positives - location nice, great view from the table of the Bruntsfield Links, spacious seating compared to Buffalo Grill which I always find quite cramped. The wine, fab, but... More

Plus Points: Great quality no frills American style food, good value, bring your own bottle. Minus Points: Both the decor and parts of the menu could do with being brought in to the 21st century. I've lived near Katie's Diner since it opened in 2000 and had always been curious as to what it's like but had never been. We... More

My sister and I visited Katie's Diner for the first time last night, after accidentally stumbling across it on Tripadvisor. We had a lovely evening. The restaurant is small, cosy and welcoming, and the food was great, with lots of lovely things on the menu. The wine was very reasonably priced too (although you can take your own wine and... More

We had burgers before going on to the cinema. The service was a bit leisurely though friendly, so we had to eat them a bit more quickly than ideal. Decor was a little tired, though pleasantly welcoming. The only two other diners talked very loudly about their family squabbles so we had live entertainment, though the subject did pall after...

Just dined at Katie's Diner with my family (six adults). We all had steak of varying cuts and to different tastes. Everyone was impressed. We also enjoyed the home-made desserts. Polite and cheerful service. I recommend booking ahead as there are only five tables. Atmosphere is nice and cosy. More

The restaurant was opened early to accommodate our party of 9. Special effort made for the youngest member in terms of a high chair, his own menu and lots of attention. Great food, great service. Highly recommended. More

The venue was good. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. However there was almost no time between courses. We had to request to be given ten minutes after our main course as otherwise the dessert would have been served immediately. When I booked I was not advised I only had a set time to eat my meal. It... More
