TripAdvisor names Edinburgh snack van as the 'best burger in the capital'

An Edinburgh snack van has been named as offering the 'best burger' in the capital, according to TripAdvisor.

Home to a huge array of burger bars and restaurants, the city offers everything from a classic hamburger to one served inside a doughnut.

However, a local van tucked away in the car park of a local B&Q has been crowned top of the list by the reviewing site, after raking in incredible feedback from customers.

Lynne's Scrumptious Snax van is known to be a staple of the Hermiston Gait retail park, with many tradesmen and shoppers often seen waiting outside it after popping into the huge hardware store.

But it seems that the van is not only the best in the car park, but the best in Edinburgh, with their burgers beating out the likes of Byron, Bread Meats Bread and Holyrood 9A, all of which do a stunning serve up.

Out of 157 reviews, 156 were ranked as "excellent", with the remaining one giving a "very good" rating on the TripAdvisor website.

A host of comments from customers had praised the incredible service, as well as the quality and flavours in their different burgers.

One happy customer wrote: "The company I work for would not be able to survive without the fab breakfast rolls from Lynns Scrumptious Snax, We have rolls every Friday (highlight of the week ) to set us up for the day.

"Also have catered for us for special events when we required a huge amount of rolls to be delivered and pulled out all the stops to make this happen."

Another echoed the praises, writing: "Honestly one of the best chicken burgers I’ve ever had! Customised to my own preferences along with some great friendly chat while I waited.

"These guys are in the B&Q carpark just around the corner from one of (if not THE) world’s most famous chicken fast food outlets from Kentucky… but I’ll be coming here every time I’m passing now."

Also praising the burger selection, one takeaway diner wrote:

"Had the Frankie Blue burger and it was tremendous. Been here before and the food, gourmet burger and hot dog menu is so so good. Great variety of deliciousness. I’ll make a point of visiting every time I’m at Hermiston Gait now. The guy who runs the place is fantastic as well. Keep up the good work!"
