We use only the finest Angus Beef to create our Beef Brisket dish carefully select Pork for our Big Gig Ribs and Pulled Pork, our Smoking process is all done in-house using selected wood such as Hickory, Oak, Cherry and Apple, Our Signature Dish is The King a Platter big enough for 2 offering all our Bar.B.Q offerings on one platter, for every King we serve we feed a homeless person

We are a small family resturant serving good honest food, no pretentiousness here. We just want to connect people through great food, we feel that Love and Passion is our most important ingredient.

    Lovely restaurant. Even tho it's a small shop it didn't lack in anything. Food was perfect. Service provided was quick and polite. The cost was low for what you receive. Perfect place to grab some wholesome food.

    Fantastic food. Generous portion and doggy bag provided for left overs. Unfortunately the tables were too small and too close together which made eating very awkward and the music was far too loud so talking was incredibly difficult. We did ask for music to be turned down as we were sitting under the speaker but if anything it seemed to get even louder which ruined our experience

    To many things on the menu we couldn't have . Very basic pork roll and chicken thighs were tasty but not crispy . Unfortunately the wine was warm . Had read good reviews and would have liked the Brisket but not available that day .

    Today was a great surprise! Our family of 4 had the Sunday Platter and was blown away by the meals we were served. Casey, our server was efficient and friendly. The menu explained and drinks delivered within minutes. When the platter arrived- we were served an eye-popping feast of pork ribs, pulled pork, chicken wings & thighs as well as pork belly pieces all served with corn bread, fries, coleslaw and salad- beautifully seasoned, hot and flavoursome. Great value for money- as we couldn't finish the tray- so we were able to take home the remainders. Can't fault it.....Great service and value. Felt appreciated by the staff too- 'wouldn't be here without your support' Lovely Sunday lunchtime- will definitely be going back!!!

    We really enjoyed our meal here, the food was scrumptious! We will definitely be back soon. We would like the beer to be a bit colder, but everything else was really good!
