Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The roast dinner is the best I've ever had!"
  • "The steak platter was delicious, elevated to perfection with the cowboy butter & zesty chimichurri sauce."
  • "The beef is tender, falls off the bone and has a special smoked flavour."
  • "This pudding is warm cookie dough covered in a chocolate and salted caramel sauce with dairy ice cream."
  • "The food was absolutely amazing - Had the pulled pork in a bun with fries and loved it."
  • "The meat was cooked perfectly. The butter sauce with it was lovely too."
  • "The meats were so tasty and succulent and they literally fell off the bone."
  • "The meat here is absolutely exceptional, perfectly cooked and melt in the mouth."

Cons:

  • "The ribs at Harvester are 10 times better, meat falls off the bone there."
  • "The macaroni cheese which is ridiculously good and then deep friend mac and cheese balls for starter which was even better."
  • "The chocolate had the weirdest texture I can only describe it as chocolate wet sand."
  • "Their meat should be second to none, harvesters ribs shouldn't be better than a Smokehouse!!"
  • "The ribs were cold, brisket was luke warm and in general the food was just standard."
