Alex TApril 20, 2014All the meats. Unreal. Food comes out crazy fast. The only downside was it wasn't that hot temperature-wise. Maybe we went at a super-busy time. GET THE BURNT ENDS
Marc TunguzJuly 31, 2015If you love pork and ribs, it's the place for you! The portions are huge and the staff is really kind. On match night, you get a special menu for 15£ including buffalo wings, ribs, fries and beer!

Dave CrawleyAugust 31, 2014As great as the pulled pork, burnt ends and pork ribs (both baby back and spare) are, my top tip is the Jacob's Ladder. A huge, tender slab of beef on the rib. Mmmmm.- Cesar LastraSeptember 8, 2017Ribs, corn on the cob... everything is grear! If possible, ask to sit downstairs where it's heaps more lively!
Little ManMarch 13, 2013Great staff, great atmosphere. The BBQ plate for 2 was amazing. Didn't like the honey root beer but they had A&W which made up for it. Will defo return ASAP!
Petr J.October 9, 2019Delicious pulled pork, ribs could be more tender. Nice staff. Wide selection of IPAs.
Kerry FullerJuly 28, 2013Delicious food, we had a sharing platter which was more than enough for two! brilliant atmosphere. I even found myself watching and enjoying the baseball!
Joshua PrestonJune 14, 2014Four decent looking chaps wander in with 4x high-end DSLRs and tripods and get seated. We order. Waiter heads off to process order. Returns quickly and requests a credit card to hold behind the bar.
Emily-janeFebruary 3, 2017So.much.meat make sure your hungry when you come here! Décor downstairs feels a bit dingy but the food was tasty and good value for central London.
Nicki FaulknerMarch 20, 2014Apart from being greeted by every single staff member on arrival, everything was amazing. Who doesn't like a plate of meat? (Vegetarians maybe?)
Bryan JonesSeptember 18, 2016BBQ Food, and lots of it. Also show live sports and a decent craft beer selection- Jack JenkinsAugust 2, 2014Excellent that BBQ food. Wide range of good beers and ales. We did have poor service in a group though, it was very slow
Tri-tip steak sandwich is amazing, although you can't go wrong with anything on the menu
Faisal AlSalemDecember 29, 2014Their BBQ chicken wings and buffalo wings are so delicious. I think they are best in London
Fatma SajwaniMarch 12, 2015Be ready to eat! Portions are huge and you will definitely need to use your hands. Food and service are good!
Wendy YeapJune 22, 2014Game day special, half ribs, pulled port, wings, coleslaw, fries and half pint of beer
NoMade InMongoliaMay 27, 2015Really average old food including the pork ribs and side chips. Never order the lobster rolls! It's 50% mayonnaise 49 % bun 1% old lobster. Not worth trying... Do not come for food, but maybe drinks.
Great little rib & BBQ place, lovely atmosphere, amazing food!
P AAugust 12, 2010£10 gets you a nice big plate of food AND a beer. You get a choice of ribs/pulled pork, burnt ends or 1/2 a chicken. Ask for the £10 meal deal.
Jon ChooSeptember 9, 2014An adequate back up to some finer BBQ joints but I find the ribs, burnt ends and pulled pork seriously lacking in the taste department.
ZJ DJanuary 2, 2019We had one guy and two gorks and the sharing platter for 2 was too much meat for us. Tasty though- Alessandro SantiniAugust 21, 2013It is just awesome. If you love BBQ them you need to pay them a visit!
Jamie ShawMarch 18, 2017Really smoky chicken; portion sizes a little small for a BBQ establishment. I want Valhalla, not a diner meal when it comes to meat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
John ParryAugust 14, 201210 oz ribeye with onion rings, fries, side of burnt ends and cherry sours. You will thank me after!
【 @tin_fish 】January 9, 2015I prefer the West End version of this chain for food - but this one is certainly quieter.
Michael CullumOctober 12, 2012Book in advance to avoid massive waits or disappointment. All portions are massive so order something small for each course or don't have a starter.
