The Joint Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food is incredible."
• "Pretty tasty food at quite reasonable prices."
• "The Food is amazing, the menu is simple, very easy to make a quick fire decision."

• "The food was all amazing here, we had the senior and the benny, both were presented and tasted amazing!"
• "The BJ burger, chips and mac and cheese bites are fantastic. The burger had so much flavour and the meat patty was particularly juicy."
• "Seriously good ribs, chicken wings and pulled pork! The homemade buns also a special touch!"

Cons:

• "The biggest issue was the pulled pork itself. Pulled pork should be a shredded tangle of moist, yielding meat. It shouldn't be pre-chewed, watery, and under-seasoned."
• "The food is good but nothing amazing."
• "Eggs were not high quality and also I think the menu should indicate if they are free range.. It was missing the ‘spicy tomato sauce’ which was a shame."
• "The food was very expensive and not tasty at all."
• "The ribs were a bit dried, and it was supposedly Korean bbq flavoured, but it tasted just like regular bbq sauce."
