Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was delicious. Half rack of BBQ ribs with Beef Brisket, Sausage, Seasoned Chips and a Smokey Joe's Chicken Burger."
"The Ribs was juicy and the Brisket just melted in my mouth."
"The meat...the meat was juicy, tender and super tasty."
"Burnt ends were an absolute triumph. We got the sharing platter and it was honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten."
"The meat on the platter is all cooked to perfection and so juicy and succulent with home made coleslaw."
"The ribs are 9/10, the fries are great, the burnt ends are amazing, and the pulled pork is very good."
"The food was excellent, and I am really fussy about eating out! Every item on the platter was delicious."
Cons:
"For the price, the portions were a bit small."
"On the most recent visit it was very tough and disappointing."
"The only issue I had was the fake smoke flavour. Everything tasted the same like they used the smoke chips or liquid smoke it was almost chemical."
"The crispy chicken had no seasoning in it's breadcrumb and the Burnt ends (usually a sublime delicacy) were pretty much charcoal briquettes in bbq sauce!"
"I’d be very surprised if they were cooked in the smoker as I got no smoke flavour from them at all."
"Some of the food was definitely just burnt."
"The brisket was VERY dry and chewy."
Service
Pros:
"Food was delicious when it came out. It took a good while for it to be served but it was worth it, the staff were very nice and apologetic, even got a discount and a free drink."
"The staff couldn't have been friendlier, and the manager was chatty and had a good sense of humour."
"Staff are friendly and helpful, can't wait to go back!"
"Staff attentive, prompt and very polite."
"The staff were amazing throughout the meal and even after the meal they wasn't in a rush to get us out the door."
"Despite the long wait, the staff were super friendly, apologetic and cute, which really helped."
"The staff were great with the kids and made sure their meals came out promptly and were super friendly."
Cons:
"Staff members not very friendly."
"Service was appalling. We had to ask 3 times for cutlery, several times for salt."
"The service seemed rushed all through, like we were a bit of an inconvenience."
"People left after having drinks and tables didn't get cleared after 20min and when we left the bottles/glasses were still there."
"Also waitress a bit unprofessional, saying: 'I'm sorry you had a bad time' is the wrong way to address such a situation."
"The staff was just stood around chatting while i was trying to get their attention."
"Also, the uncleaned glasses were stacked high at the front of the bar as you walk in despite only 1 full table during our visit."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Feels like an old-style pub with lots of wood but with a modern twist on the menu for food."
"The establishment was clean and had a good atmosphere."
"I love the layout and the decor of the place."
"The atmosphere has the feel of your local 'go to' comfort pub."
"Good selection of beers, including craft and a small but focused and great menu."
"Music was really good and I really like the creativity in the men's bathroom. The superman and wonder woman signs are a great touch."
"The atmosphere and setting was nice."
Cons:
"The atmosphere was a little lacking for a Saturday evening when we went in but perhaps it was too early."
"Nothing fancy, standard roast dinner in a lifeless, scruffy pub."
"The atmosphere of this new establishment wasn't great and the food isn't what it used to be."
"One of the staff gave us a really rude face as we considering to leave to another place."
"Decorative wooden beams obviously too thin for their implied purpose bugged me. Obviously not functional."
"Unfortunately the food wasn’t very hot. The metal trays the food is served in were cold which didn’t keep the food warm at all."
"They serve the food on cold metal plates so like warm when it arrives and goes cold quickly."
Value
Pros:
"The portions were big! The burgers and ribs were especially good but everything looked nice."
"An absolute pleasure to find this gem."
"Would defo recommend."
"Would highly recommend this place to anyone with a big appetite for real American BBQ 😁"
"The portion size was good, and the price was reasonable."
"For £25 I got a feast with a pint."
"The food is a generous portion served on enamelled plates and trays."
Cons:
"Not impressed by the tips being added to bill automatically."
"Seems like the portions are smaller than they used to be."
"The big daddy burger is much much smaller than it used to be, the meat on it especially brisket was cold, tough and dry."
"They also added the tip to the bill and you need to request to take it off. That's poor."
"The portion seemed to be a bit smaller to what you pay."
"We had a couple of platters to share which were good, though a tad expensive."
"Loses a star as if you order a special shake with a chocolate bar in, they charge you a fortune for it, make a jugfull, fill a glass and throw the rest out!"
