Fantastic, never disappoints! Would definitely recommend to anyone! Love the steaks and the sides, mum didn't like her broccoli because it was a little under cooked but I ate it any way!
All i can say is fantastic, service wad brilliriant, food even more so. We had a great time i recommend a visit you wont be dissapointed.
Good food, interesting and relaxed setting. It's somewhere I look forwards to going back to. Just need to be careful and not get carried away and order too much food.
quick service. fresh tasty food. great as always. will be back!
booked yesterday for today - turned up - booking confirmed, been here before - food excellent staff friendly - if you want an american style food this is the place to go - very filling
Lovely food, a little too loud to talk and we were a bit rushed by staff to vacate our table once we had finished eating. However I do love it and keep going back
Good service, excellent food, great atmosphere. Only reason I didn't give it a 6 is because they sent out the wrong salad - but it was nice so I ate it. Bottomless soft drinks machine was pretty nifty too :) Would definitely recommend - good for big appetites and meat lovers. Will be back for sure.
Fantastic menu , great food and service was excellent a wonderful way to celebrate a 16th birthday , we will be back for more in the future
Great Food. Great Service. No Pressure. Great Atmosphere. Great Music. A friendly welcome. No pressure to choose your food. Food is plentiful. No pressure to leave when finished.
Excellent food and service. Staff were very friendly and the speed of service was perfect. Quality of the food served was excellent and matched the description on the menu
Delicious food and lots to choose from, generous portions, attentive staff who were not pushy. Desserts were surprisingly big as well - so probably best to share!
we went for a friends birthday and booked the table on line without any problems, once we arrived we had excellent service and the was excellent too , very good value for money
Booked at short notice for somewhere close to the theatre. Brilliant place. Great food, good portions, great beers and polite attentive staff. Innovative restaurant design. Mixture of American diner, retro and scrap heap challenge. Highly reccomend.
This awsn't our first visit to the Smoke Pit, and definitely won't be our last. A great restaurant - the food is really excellent, and good service also.
Group of 4 adults and one child for evening dinner. Very busy but staff courteous and helpful. Good food, good atmosphere, but quite expensive. Would recommend for meat eaters!
Amazing food and superb service! Very pleasant surroundings and waiting staff were very friendly and attentive despite being really busy. Will definitely be going back!
Fantastic food and fantastic atmosphere. Drinks service was abit slow but other than that can't fault the restaurant. Keep doing what you're doing. BBQ Heaven
This was my first visit, I was impressed by the layout and the overall ambiance of the place, the staff were very pleasant and I could not fault the food, I would recommend to my friends and will definately vist again.
Fantastic food well priced and very friendly staff,we took my 76 year old mother and she can't wait to go again she loved the food and the whole experience.its a fantastic place for the whole family any age
Food was simply stunning. Decor etc sets the tone perfectly for what they do. The service is a little slow and the food takes longer than you'd like. But when it arrives its simply brilliant.
Easy to book, The place is amazing so modern and industrial. Food was excellent. Service was good, but we were asked if we wanted dessert menu, we said yes, but it didn't arrive?! Will definitely return and take friends and family. Very child friendly.
Fantastic meal and the service was second to none. This was our second visit and will definitely not be the last. I will definitely be recommending to all of my friends and family. Well done to Matt and the team .
Had a great night, Lovely atmosphere, staff was friendly and the food was amazing. It was especially very good for gluten free would highly recommend!
Overbooked and an extended wait we decided not to stay and wait due to it being extremely noisy and echoed like a school canteen. At the prices that are charged i would expect a more refined ambience. I wont book again due to the noise levels.
Excellent food, decent serve and a nice place. Will be back again soon. There are not many places serve ring this type of food and the smoke pit does it well.
staff really friendly, food was amazing, portion sizes are incredible & excellent value for money, can't wait to go again & we've recommended this place to all our friends
Food was fine. Service was poor - no engagement, no enthusiasm - didn't make you feel particularly welcome. Borderline on whether we will make a return visit.
Great food and great service. Just a shame that some of the drinks are a little overpriced- more like London prices. Would recommend to anyone who is a true meat lover.
Amazing food, fab service. The cocktails were great. My boyfriend and I shared a burger platter, it was amazing. My mum had the best ribs I've ever tasted, and even my vegetarian sister found plenty of options (including the Mac and Cheese which was also delicious!)
Fantastic food, atmosphere and service as always! Great value for money, especially the St Louis ribs, best i've had anywhere. Smoke Pit's own BBQ sauce is also amazing!
Excellent all round experience. Food super. Service super. BUT drinks too pricey and the long island iced tea had the incorrect ingredients but otherwise all good.
Great menu with lots of tasty food and drinks to choose from. Didn't manage a dessert as the main courses were massive. Will definitely return.
Straight forward menu, friendly and efficient staff, big portion sizes, not too expensive. The best grated carrot you'll ever taste. All in all a nice place to have dinner.
Great atmosphere, the service was execellent and of course the food was well cooked and delicious. Try and leave enough room for the creme brûlée ice cream...wow!
Great place, very nice friendly staff. The food was very nice. My partner and I had a sharing platter and it was great, I would definitely recommend
We had a fantastic time. The staff were brilliant, the venue was fab and the food gorgeous. Highly recommend the nachos for starters :D Portions are huge and the taste is fantastic. Will go back soon
We had no complaints with the food, we just had to wait quite a while as a lot of people had been booked in. However, we were offered some free drinks. Good atmosphere.
Brilliant meal. Great place for kids and super service. Menu was varied and food delicious. Big portions!!!! Especially milkshakes!!!! We will definately be back and would recommend
Fantastic food and excellent service! Well worth the cost, make sure you book well in advance if you want to go on a weekend to avoid being disappointed!
Very friendly staff with great value for money food. Excellent location that keeps you looking for more. Will definitely go again as the atmosphere there is lovely.
We love the food here, first time trying puddings and I had a key lime pie and asked for vanilla ice cream rather than the raspberry sorbet it came with. It was delicious. Also had the free refill drinks which is a great idea too. I had the chicken ceasar salad and hubby had a platter. Always a winner
Good menu excellent food, very nice resturant nice atmosphere, everywhere looked clean shown to our table very quickly service very good, staff nice and friendly very helpful. Will definitely return and would recommend to friends and family.
had wait 5 minutes for our table so they gave us our first drinks for free which was awesome,food was lush and staff so friendly and helpful
Great food. Service was a bit slow. We go again.
Amazing food, would defo recommend. Tasty, plenty of food but couldn't manage a pudding. Staff bent over backwards to make us feel welcome and happy
Great food! Just a little disappointed that the birthday cake was brought out without us asking... Other than that, great place! Will be visiting again!
We were clearly not the only ones who thought this would be a perfect Father's Day treat. Really good vibe and oodles of yummy food. My son called it blinner (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)! Interesting urinals, so I am told, which always creates excitement ... boys will be boys!
Had a great time, loads of food, great cocktail, very friendly service. Will definitely return as could not fit in a dessert this time. Definitely recommend a visit.
First time visit to the Smoke Pit, and overall an enjoyable experience. The BBq food was well presented and tasted delicious, only negatives where all the side dishes grated carrot, pineapple, gherkins etc had all been either pickled or doused in vinegar. Which no one liked (appreciate that this could be personal preference, but considering all five of us didn't like it, I am going to say a heads up would have been nice). The biggest let down was the staff, although friendly and polite. It certainly didn't appear that any of them had ever worked in a restaurant before, they where keen enough to take the main order. But there was no explanation offered about how things worked, did we want sauce of certain things, what flavour smoke was being used, or anything. There was no come back to ask if we where ok, or how our food was, would we like anymore drinks. Again no one was rude, but we had to ask for our bill twice. And even then it took 30 minutes to get it. Considering this is the only bbq restaurant in Northampton, with some basic staff training it could be great.
Great service despite being very busy. Great choices on the menu. Some dishes slightly over priced. Great choice of cocktails too! We were sat next to the drinks refill machine which was irritating. Food tasted real good- we will definitely go back and hope we sit somewhere different!!
