    Get there early, great text message service if there is a queue though. Boss hog platter was a great taste of all their meats. Still loving the Brooklyn summer ale.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful! We had the rack of ribs that was good but the chicken burger and the chips weren't the best. Great atmosphere!

    Bodean's platter for 2, eith fries and slaw. Almost too much food for 2, but delicious ribs, pulled pork, burnt ends and chicken.

    Surprisingly, the caipirinha with cachaca germana is not too bad! Highly recommended at the happy hour price of £5.95

    Born and raised in North Carolina and this BBQ is by far the best! Try the pulled pork and creamed corn.

    Not Impressed TBH. Waiting was too long, a little overrated. Other than lots of meat and good portions and fair price. Service was a little lacking...We found some of the meat dry

    The staff are SO rude. I went there today with my friends, they tried to squeeze 5 of us in a tiny table. We asked to be re-allocated, they said we needed to go on the wait list again. Why? HOPELESS
