About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for brunch

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
Along side our American BBQ we also offer Caribbean Classics on Sundays including Jerk Chicken & Pork, Beef Stew, Curry Chicken with Rice & Peas.
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.
Executive Chef & Founder Antonio De Sousa and Head Chef Jordan French are bringing the Best Bar.B.Q in Whitstable awarded by Restaurant Guru.
We are across the road from Co-Op
Our Resturant is a 16 seater playing Rythm and Blues with cosy and friendly enviroment.

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!

Loved the food, our American family member thought all the BBQ tasted very authentic! We particularly liked the pork belly starter, and the King Sharer with a taste of everything really was amazing.
