Food Quality and Menu Items

Pros:

• "Such lovely food. Was not disappointed with anything. Yummy tasting food, good portion sizes and reasonable pricing."
• "The ribs here are fabulous. Just the right amount of sauce and very tender too that the meat just falls off the bone."
• "Steak was excellent and would recommend, and the dirty fries did feel like a good treat."
• "We tried the burgers, prawns, slaw, Mac n cheese, loaded jalapeño fries and Korean sauce and everything was spectacular."
• "The burgers, ribs, pulled pork, chips, onion rings (real ones!) were excellent."
• "Food is incredible but the restaurant temperature was so hot 🔥 we shoved the food in and paid as quickly as possible."
• "Great food, best burgers in town, everyone should give this place a visit."
• "Fantastic food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere."

Cons:

• "The brisket was horribly dry, the cooks don't care about the quality of what they putting over the pass."
• "I was really disappointed to see a server leave for a smoke break with no additional jacket/jumper over their uniform."
• "Really really poor if I’m honest. Pulled pork was very dry, burger wasn’t particularly tasty."
• "Shared tower, ribs so dry and too sweet. 1 slice of reheated dry brisket (for 2 people)."
• "Ordered a hamburger, caught a hair. It's the worst thing ever. Service and maintenance at a low level."
• "Disappointing. Greeted by someone who didn't make eye contact, hardly spoke and didn't tell us that items on the special list were out of stock."
• "Overpriced and Overrated. The Curly fries tasted exactly the same as the frozen ones you can get from Morrisons for £1 a bag."

• "the staff was excellent very warm welcome and the service was brilliant.i ate pulled pork off the specials and was absolutely delicious."

Cons:

• "It was all right, but can't compare it with Bristol bare grills. Food was fine, however service was taking whole experience down."
• "The also ran out of the beer I was drinking. I'll not be returning as there are numerous other better restaurants in Taunton."
• "Table of 8. A service charge of £13 was added without telling us. Won't be going back. Very slow and inexperienced staff 😔😔"
• "Not for me - overall impression was dark & dingy with horrible processed tasting ribs. Waitress delightful but on her own so long wait for what turned out to be filthy food."
• "Tables too close together. Toilet floors like ice rinks and when they were told that our 3 year granddaughter had slipped up they didn't believe us until they were shown her wet clothes!"
• "Absolutely outrageous, called up asking for a table, call was answered then twice just hung up on, customer service absolutely appalling!"
• "Worst restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time. Staff were rude and they had no ingredients for any of the drinks."
• "Vegetarian option - awful. If you're going to serve a veggie burger, at least try and make it less obvious you've bought them from Morrisons as a last minute thing."
