Stine BJuly 21, 2018Pork belly was to die for!! And the aubergine was amazing. We had no reservation on a Saturday night, but got a table outside. Loved it, and would definitely come back!

N BFebruary 13, 2017The brisket and ribs were both excellent, as expected, with the sides and desserts also being top-notch. Good list of drinks. The design of the restaurant is spot on too.
Emily-janeAugust 7, 2017Ex dinerama pop-up now has it's own restaurant taking BBQ to the next level! Pork ribs, ox cheek, beef brisket and rarebit jacket potato side are all so good!! Cool decor, outdoor seating, a must go!
Daren WilliamsFebruary 23, 2019Hipster bbq joint with amazing food - definitely get the beef rib, and the ox tail starter :) All other dishes were tasty and interesting flavours - go in a group of 4-6 so you can try every dish
M Aldoss ♏April 22, 2022It is better to make a reservation before you come. Tasty juicy beef. Recommend: crispy ox cheeks, crispy beef fat flat bread and aged short ribs 😋 👌🏼
MaríaAugust 19, 2017Ditch your fear of cholesterol and healthy eating habits because it's more than worth it! Vegetarians, you must have the aubergine. Trust me. It's so good!!
Nofi .BDecember 28, 2018One of the best steak spots ever...YUM!! 🤤 The pastarami, OX cheek & brisket mustard BBQ 🍖
Sam GarsonDecember 23, 2016Dark and decked out with raw metal and wood, but the food (and smells) deliver in bucketloads. Get the brisket.
Gelly BJune 14, 2017Nicely cooked beef brisket and ox cheek is an experience on its own. Portions are small but perfect for dinner or something to nibble with your drink. 3 dishes and 2 beers cost around £35.
BFebruary 20, 2019Heaven for meat lovers very substantial plate of food well cooked and seasoned. Also great with fresh chilli. Most enjoyable with Kernel beer.
Eleni SardiJune 12, 2017Delicious meaty goodness. Yes the brisket is great but so are the small dishes, try the mushroom toast and the box cheek, yum.
Laure C.August 24, 2018Best place in Londen for meat lovers. We had the 30 day dried, pork belly rib, aubergine and shared greens. It was absolutely AMAZING. Also very fast and friendly service.
Jacob PulliaOctober 28, 2019Great BBQ shareables. Highly recommend the Ox Cheek, Brisket Sliders, and Ribs.
Shannon LowJanuary 20, 2018Beef rib is the best thing here. Really tender and delicious. Aubergine is also really good. Brisket is tasty and soft. Crispy ox cheek cubes are fun.
Fernanda GasparinApril 29, 2017Meet is so rich. Perfect for a hangover or a self-indulgent meal. They have inviting veggie options as well, carchoaled aubergine is on my to eat-list
Paulo RementeriaJuly 21, 2018Musts: brisket bun, 30-day dry aged beef rib. Avoid the pig tails. Good service. If you are around don’t miss it. Ah the cheapest wine is just that: cheap...- Caroline BlackFebruary 13, 2019What a meat feast! Loved the ox cheek, brisket bun and sticky toffee pudding. Fab cocktails too!
Brenda FialaSeptember 24, 2019Get the sea bream starter and ask for a Smokey Old Fashion (it’s not on the menu)
Adrian AlbonApril 4, 2022Literally the highlight of our trip. BBQ done right, great beer, friendly staff… amazing all round.
Tony Muraki-HartMay 12, 2017The brisket is divine! Ribs, smoked aubergine, mushrooms in beef fat on toast were delicious. Only 3 desserts, so get them all :-)
Roman TomjakDecember 30, 2017Food is amazing, but be aware that as the title says it’s a smoky place. My clothes were smelling of wood fire for the rest of the day :)
VikashJanuary 14, 2017Exactly what you'd expect from a BBQ restaurant in Shoreditch. Good choice of meats and a few more unusual dishes on the menu. Decent food but nothing amazing
Martin MarmorsteinMarch 26, 2017Amazing food, mostly for dedicated carnivores, but brilliant vegetarian options too. Service is a bit patchy, but the food makes up for those tiny errors.
James BatesMarch 8, 2020Best barbecue in London, or that I’ve tried in the UK. They just need a good mac n cheese to complete the menu
David del VallsJanuary 28, 2018Is by far one of the best restaurant in London. The quality of the food and the location is excellent ( architecturally amazing ).
H BJuly 14, 2018The mackerel starter was really nice. preferred the belly pork to the 30 day aged rib. Don’t normally like brisket but it was lovely
Ceara PixieJune 27, 2018Love this place. Surprisingly they have very decent vegetarian dishes. The aubergine dish is a must try!- Ierax HolargeusJanuary 30, 2022Ox cheek, pork and brisket buns, coal roasted aubergine and the sticky toffee pudding for the end. A proper feast!
- Jerome TJanuary 12, 2019Get the ox cheek, pork ribs, beef brisket and the cheese baked potato. All are amazing!
Luke NewmanJuly 30, 2017The brisket is amazing. Melts in the mouth. Great sides, too. Overall a great selection and good time.
Melda SalhabNovember 17, 2017Do not miss out on the brisket bun and the coal roaster aubergine - absolutely delicious- Karis ChengDecember 30, 2017Beef brisket & short ribs are good, charred green is a refreshing option if you don't want just meat
.November 16, 2017I came all the way from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia to try this and thanks god i did 😍 love it love it love it 💕💕💕🇸🇦🤗
Ricardo SoaresJanuary 9, 2019Great place to sit at the counter and watch the kitchen magic as they serve amazing food!
Portuguese Woman O'warSeptember 30, 2018Beautiful meat dishes, but also veggies! Try the pork tail 🤯
Neža LandekerDecember 10, 2018Lovely place! Delicious food and visually appealing. Feels very authentic.
CalvinAugust 4, 2017Pork rib and brisket were both very tasty. Portions were small though and it is very expensive.
