Great food and incredibly welcoming staff, we were very early for our booking but without hesitation the staff moved our booking forward. The food tasted amazing too. We will definitely be returning.

The American diner feel came through quite well. Came for lunch today, had the pork belly burnt ends and brisket platter. I'd say that both were delicious, would've liked if they had own house BBQ sauce instead of a packet one. Would've been that bit more amazing. The mini-mac and cheese was to die for. Decently priced for the portion size.

I heard alot of great things about this place and was very eager to try there food so I did the chips are great and well seasoned the mac and cheese is very cheesy and delicious the home made slaw is very good also but the steak was real let down never have I ever had steak that was so gristly and very plain like it wasn't seasoned before it was cooked maybe I just had a bad cut but my partners steak was exactly same different cut of the cow though big let down ?

Really want this place to be successful and will be back. The burnt ends were the highlight. The brisket could have done with some sauce, even on the side a bbq or carolina bbq as the meat was a little dry and overly hickory (I think). Mac and cheese could have done with some seasoning. Steak was very tasty. The burger seemed a little expensive for what is seasoned minced beef, but the person eating it said it was nice.Definitely get here and try it. We are going back soon to try the other things.

I was amazed to find largely good reviews for this restaurant. I went with my family recently, the food was expensive, cold and poor quality. The restaurant itself was grubby and poorly decorated, and the toilets looked like they handy been modernised for 20 years. For the money paid I would expect much higher quality food served in quality surroundings. The saving grace was that I found the people pleasant. Over all the place was a dive and I would never go back there again.

Good place to have wings or something from the BBQ. Great during summers. Also shows most football and sport events, and has good selection of beer and stuff.

The food was out of this world. We got stranded here due to the local area flooding and the reception and warm welcome was amazing. The highlight though was definitely the authentic American BBQ. It was stunning with so much flavour.

Had an amazing lunch with the sharing platter. Everything was cooked perfectly and had a lovely Smokey flavour. Dog friendly and really lovely staff who looked after us really well. Will definitely be back!

Take your appetite and probably still take some home with you. Huge portions of very tasty, piping hot food. Excellent value for money, friendly staff and overall just a true pleasure to eat there. Lovely to see the smoker chuffing away as you enter the carpark as it truly is an authentic smokehouse. I left as full as an egg with a box for lunch tomorrow too!!

Went to The Garden/ Smoke house with a group of friends as we were looking forward to trying a new type of restaurant that differs so much from the typical restaurants in england. We had bambam broccoli and burnt pork ends for starters, smoked brisket and burgers for mains, and cheesecake for dessert. Everything was top-notch from the flavour to the presentation of the dishes. The meats were soft and juicy. It was delicious. You could taste how fresh the food was, and the portions were huge, extremely generous. Can't wait to go back and try the sharing plater. There was plenty of space to even bring a guitar and play outside while having some after meal drinks at the front of the restaurant. Very friendly staff. The chef is definitely an asset to the business. Keep up the good work, and congratulations on your unique restaurant. I will definitely see you soon.

Food is the main attraction going for this place. Everytime we have called and booked or messaged and confirmed on FB, they always forget about us or just don?t write our names down, but they can never find us, even when we have the proof of our booking. Unfortunately this has happened at least 3 times already to us. It?s such a shame as it has really good potential and lovely food but clearly it isn?t very organised. Hopefully they will improve.

A table was booked for a surprise for my birthday. Everything was good upon arrival and we were shown to our seats promptly. Once seated we were asked almost immediately if we were ready to order we said we needed some time to decide, we were then asked repeatedly if we were ready until we were, probably 4 or 5 times in a matter of minutes. This was where the problems started. I asked for a pint of orange juice and lemonade as I was driving and I was given a coca-cola glass which appeared on the small side, as was gone very quickly. I asked for another pint snd said I thought the glass was on the small side and was told it was a pint but if I wanted it put in a different glass they would do it but was made to feel as though I was making a fuss unnecessarily so I declined snd said it would do. We ordered our food and started our wait. There was a family of four and our table, my wife, my 9 year old daughter and myself. We sat and waited for our food, 30 mins came and went, 45 mins came and went and my daughter was bored and went to watch TV in the bar, an hour came and I was getting a bit annoyed by this point as there didn't seem to be any progress with our order and I was talking with my wife as to whether we should just leave and go get some food elsewhere. The waiting staff over heard this conversation and came and apologised stating that there was only 1 chef on and they were sorry and wouldn't charge us for my orange juice and lemonade. They continued to apologise until our food arrived another 20 mins later so an hour and 20 in total. The food took so long to be brought to our table by the time all the food had arrived, the first food delivered was cold. We ordered cheesy chips for our daughter who is 9 and everything came coated in cajun spices. I like cajun as does my wife but there was so much on everything it just made everything seem very salty, my daughter, however, found everything very hot and spicy. We had to order a jug of water to so she could attempt to eat her chips!! Once we had finished our meals I decided to do a little experiment with the water and my pint coca-cola glass. I filled said glass with water and the poured the full glass into my wife's empty pint glass and it only filled it 3/4 full, meaning they were giving me 3/4 of a pint of orange juice and lemonade but charging for a pint. All in all I was disappointed with our experience at a restaurant I had been excited to try, even though I didn't know I was going for my birthday treat. I won't be in a hurry to go back and wouldn't recommend to anyone else.
