The milkshake and fries were really nice, but unfortunately the beef brisket was dry and tasteless, and the link sausages were not very seasoned or tasty either. I expected much better because a work colleague had been and highly recommended the food :(

Food was amazing, customer service could be worked on a bit, dirty looks from wait staff made the experience slightly uncomfortable apart from that I would recommend and visit again

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. I had the dirty donut and it was fantastic, my wife had the brisket, which was nice too although maybe slightly too dry. We had thick shakes for desert, which were nice but the banana used in mine tasted unripened. Great overall experience, I would return

Both had burgers which seems firm and unnatural in someway. The bun salad and sauces were excellent however. Good service. Would return to try again to check this may have been a on off as the reviews have been good.

Nothing like it in Edinburgh. Real American style bbq food. Brisket melted in your mouth, home made bbq sauces and a great selection of drink. Also really feel we got value for money with the 2 sides.

Big portions and very reasonable. The brisket just fell away, mac and cheese was a nice creamy contrast for the dynamite fries too! Husband's burger was consumed in 3 minutes! The only con was the service was slow otherwise I can see us going back.

Nice place. Not overly big. Good choice on the menu. Ordered a combo meal which included two main course items (ribs and brisket) really good portion size for the price. Drinks decently priced. Brisket a little dry though, ribs were amazing. Would go back.

Reason for the 6 was the food, really nice and had a good night, customer service I won't score on as it was minimal and no customer focus, basically sit us down and take the order no interaction till the bill was due to be paid
