"Booked in advance ahead of the Quo concert. Glad I did because even at 5pm they had to turn people away. Been to numerous such restaurants across the UK but this one is amongst the best. Food was reasonably priced - especially for the portion size you end up with. And it tasted amazing. The burger I ordered was sublime. Service was speedy, friendly and excellent. This place is a little gem. So if you happen to find yourself in town - highly recommend."

The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the food was delicious, yummy or what I had the grilled chicken and a bottle of lager and had no complaints whatsoever, their spare ribs went down a treat too Would I go again... absolutely no doubt"

"Went for 18th birthday...food was really nice and served relatively quickly, very filling. Everyone was happy with their meals and everyone had a good evening. Service was ok...nothing over the top which is how we like it but efficient and friendly."

"Very popular smoke house and justifiably so. Huge portions. We had the sharers option for two, and there was enough for four. Sadly, neither of us could finish the meal because there was so much food. It was delicious. All of it. We'll definitely be going back."

"An unfortunate mix up but the service made up for it. My wife and I booked this restaurant for Valentine's day and really enjoyed the ambiance which is very country and western. We were seated and ordered drinks and food within five minutes. Unfortunately a mix up meant our order didn't get to the kitchen, so our meal was comped. It was a delicious order, everything on our sharer platter was cooked to perfection and arrived within 10 minutes of them realising their mistake. The staff check on you regularly enough but not too often, which is nice. The onion rings and burnt ends are to die for and the meat is melt in your mouth quality. I can't watch to go back again, a fantastic experience and would feel the same way if I had had to pay."
