                                                          I was out for lunch with my husband & son for Mother’s Day. We arrived a little late but they did not have any issue with our lateness. The gentleman I spoke to was absolutely lovely. He made us feel very welcome and put us at ease instantly. I ordered a lemon margarita which was absolutely delicious, it was so good that I had a second drink. We ordered the sirloin steak, prawn & ribs for 3. SO good., OMG, we managed to get through it all & was completely full. I loved the restaurant, the staff & the food. Thank you for a wonderful meal and we will be back again.

                                                          Not your run of the mill American bbq. Delicious and high quality foods. Had great music playing. Staff were very attentive. A little expensive but worth it.

                                                          Decent food, however, if you enjoy the managers abusing their workers and being rude to customers, this is the place.

                                                          Second time round at this restaurant and has not disappointed. Took some friends here and they quite liked the food. Steak was cooked very well, and portions were sizeable. A platter for two can certainly be more than enough for two people to eat but allows you to get some other sides if you wish. Had the calamari this time round and it was superb. Very crispy and perfectly cooked. Not rubbery and chewy.

                                                          This place is a gem! The food was delicious and bountiful. We had the beef brisket as well as the chicken tacos and both were outstanding. Don’t forget to order the corn cob sides and slaw, scrumptious! Service was friendly and helpful, we had a memorable meal
