The food was great. Plentiful portions and no long wait. I did change my order which the waitress acknowledged but then didn't put through. A small thing that didn't ruin the overall experience at all.

What a great little restaurant!!! It has great BBQ, Blue moon, Coors and Budweiser!! The service was wonderful!! When you are walking down the Royal Mile, if the castle is at your back it will be on your left.. watch for the small street sign because we almost missed it.. it's down a set of stairs so there's no big store front.. the food was so good!! We are so glad we found it!! Even our teenage girls were pleased with the choices and food!!

Mi aspettavo una cottura migliore delle ribs. Cucina da fast food e non per bbq lovers

While the staff were very friendly and the sides were delicious we were both really disappointed in the meats which were dry and overdone, the worst bbq experience we have had.

For American style BBQ the food was excellent. Think Man vs Food, you won't be disappointed. Good portions and very tasty sides not to mention some midweek offers such as unlimited wings £9.95pp

Food was good overall, meat was gorgeous but bread for the bun was stale and mostly left. Staff were nice and prices were decent, nice bbq but could benefit from better draft beer choice.

Nice wee place, easy to walk past. Had a voucher for pretty much 50% off. Chicken platter was good, wife had pulled pork which was stone cold. Staff did offer to get new portion or new dish, but judging by the dried up sauce it was bunged in the micro with a little extra on top. Kids set menu very good value at £5. Not sure I'd go back.

The waitress we had was very pleasant and attentive, but we have to admit, we really didn’t feel the food was particularly good. We won’t be rushing back sadly- we were so looking forward to our meal, but we unfortunately left underwhelmed.

Mains were delicious, and the meat was very well prepared. Sides weren't as spectacular, but were still nice! Good beer selection, as well as root beer and cream soda. The location has MANY stairs, so it's not exactly accessible. Toilets were also very small which made access a bit of an issue.

The ideal place to go for a BBQ hit, you're essentially always getting a platter of food, so be sure you can handle an actual platter from the menu, if you order one. Meat just falls off the bones, so great for those who are a bit wary of food on the bone too.

Food went cold soon after being brought to the table. Ladies toilets are really cramped, much better to have 1 cubicle rather than squeezing 2
