The Smoke Pit - Northampton

My family had a great meal and time at the smoke pit the staff are friendly and helpful this is my 3rd visit and my two boy can't wait to go back again

Great food and great service, tad expensive but food was good so you don't mind :) plenty of space for our pram and baby changing facilities were good

Lovely food, massive portions, great friendly service and an energetic, lively atmosphere...3rd time we've been here and it hasn't disappointed yet! Highly recommended to all ages

Great food, the brisket was superb, along with the sweet potato fries. Good selection of beers on tap and bottled. Staff were also great, and attentive.

Great atmosphere and even better food! Very busy but staff were attentive and the food came out within good time! Well worth waiting slightly longer when the food tastes that good!

We had a sharing platter for two and the food was amazing, really friendly staff and casual but enjoyable atmosphere, would definitely visit again! Great portion sizes, and lovely bbq sauce!

We visited for the first time after wanting to come here for over a year! Can totally see why it's hard to get a booking here, the atmosphere was amazing, as was the food. There were so many options for drinks too! Just one thing which isn't even a big issue but if you are going to do martinis please serve them in a clean glass, not plastic, it just makes it feel cheap. We cannot wait to come back and we will hopefully bring friends with us!

The food here is delicious, I had the pulled pork and there was so much on the plate I couldn't eat it all. Value for money!

Great food as always :) my favourite restaurant in the whole world. Great cocktails on this visit too. I really miss the Sunday special though.

Excellent food, plenty of it and very filling. Good service all staff were very pleasant. Nice setting although did get a bit warm inside. Children loved the food too. Definitely recommend a visit.

The best meal I have had for quite some time (I have had some good ones). The paintings by the barman are good as well, I might buy one.

Excellent food and atmosphere, staff were brilliant. Would def recommend. Menu is full of flavour and choice, drinks menu is the same. Had a very enjoyable evening

we had a lovely meal at the smoke pit. The food was really good and the atmosphere was buzzing! The staff were super friendly too which is an added bonus ☺️

Great food, lovely service, nice atmosphere. My husband and I enjoyed a nice relaxed evening, the food was scrummy, extensive drinks menu too. Overall a great evening

We waited ages to be greeted and taken to a table. They didn't ask for any details regarding the reservation we had. Once we were seated we were left for at least 15 minutes before anybody came to ask if we'd like a drink. There were only 4 or 5 tables of people so they weren't that busy. I got the impression that they didn't care. The steak was good but not cooked as requested. So all in all not a great experience and don't think we'll go again.

Great food with a wide selection, great atmosphere and good staff service. All four of us enjoyed the meal and would definitely go back again.

Very disappointing experience. We gad been once before and had enjoyed the food so decided to go back again. This tie, the meat was flavourless, the chicken very dry and the fries that should have had skins in appeared to be basic thin supermarket bought chips. We were given 20% discount off the bill, but we won't be returning in a hurry.

Great food and the service was amazing. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly, even grabbing us a pack of pens to keep the little ones entertained. It's the details that matter!

Amazing food, really quick service. We got there 25 minutes before our reservation and were seated straight away. The only downside was the music was a little too loud so people were shouting over it. The 2 person tables are also quite long so not great if you're looking for something intimate, like we were. Overall a great experience with amazing quality of food and service.

Not such a good experience for allergy safe foods as last time, but we all left full up and would visit again. Daughter and friends had s great time

The Smoke Pit has been several things over the past years, and still the same inside, just different food. First time at your establishment and will probably be the last. I chose the meat platter for one not a great choice . My friends were not impressed either. Over priced for what I ate in the end. Novel idea with the drinks machine.

Fantastic night for my sons birthday, food fantastic, staff great and loved the interior of the restaurant and quirky little extra that make the restaurant unique. Highly recommed

the meal and service was brilliant, was our first time there but will certainly be going back again .you got plenty for your money it was all cooked to perfection.

Really fantastic. All the meat dishes (pulled pork and St Louis ribs in particular) are delicious; I also indulged in a peanut butter milkshake and all I can say is: heaven!

Great food, great atmosphere and a great menu. Fab range of interesting drinks to try. All reasonably priced too. Easy to book online. Highly recommended.

I will say the hostess was on the ball with allergies. It was busy so a bit of a wait but food was good and certainly meaty!!

A really welcoming and friendly place with great staff. The authentic Texan roadhouse 'shabby chic' theme fits well with the mish mash of wooden tables and chairs scattered around the huge main glass roofed dining area. The food was fantastic, with authentic tasting and huge tasty portions of smoked and barbecued meats. Being unable to eat it all, we left with a massive doggy bag which will probably last a few days... Excellent.

This was our first time at the smoke pit, it was very busy when we arrived so just had to wait five minutes for our table. The service and food was very good and would definitely return and recommend.

Good food, and at a reasonable price. Probably best enjoyed as a group of mates, rather than as a romantic meal for two. Generous portions and tasty side dishes.

It was ok , nothing special service wasn't great and the guy delivering food was awful. Glad we bought the refillable soft drinks which were self service otherwise you die of thirst!

Quality food and beverages, left feeling very full and satisfied! Will definitely be going back, best pulled pork I've had the pleasure of putting in my mouth!

Great atmosphere and music . portions a little oversized for me but yummy . platters are massive but good value for money if you can eat that much.

Service and food fabulous ,portions are large so be prepared to leave some .A party of eight and each and everyone enjoyed it ,would certainly book again as there is plenty on the menu to return and try .

Food was ok but the feel of the place was a bit naff sat in a large open room but squashed in on small tables next to other people and Food was served on camping style metal plates and cups?

Food, service, presentation and atmosphere of the restaurant was great. Great choice of food and would thoroughly recommend to anyone who loves the BBQ grill!

The staff were very friendly, there was great atmosphere, lots of quirky bits around the restaurant and most importantly amazing food with HUGE portions, you won't go home hungry!

Smoke out had a great atmosphere. Excellent food as always, a must for any meat lover. The staff are friendly and very attentive. great service once again

Amazing food and atmosphere, could have been a few more staff as we spent a fair bit of time waiting to ask for desserts, drinks.

the smoke pit, well it was our first time visiting this restaurant and we were not disappointed the staff were great and helped us with our order and we were given the feeling that they knew a lot about the way the food was prepared and we were right the food was fantastic we will be going back very soon so if you get a chance to go book as soon as possible.

Amazing food and very good service. Had a birthday meal there and they were very helpful wth the arrangements of the table decorations and birthday cake. Overall it was lovely.

Overall a good dinning experience , food order was taken straight away ...However the food took 35 minutes to arrive and the restaurant was not that busy so alittle disapointed on that front ..The quality of the food when it arrived was excellent .

Staff did not appear friendly, noisy restaurant, I ordered a Southern fried burger which I did choose no cheese or dressing, arrived quickly, food was good with plenty of it.

Best BBQ food I've had. The staff were friendly and helpful and the place is brilliant. Great atmosphere and great beer! A new favourite place to go!

Can't fault the food, left with a full stomach to bursting point. Bit of a delay in both starter & mains arriving. Definitely not fine dining, but will visit again, great for groups wanting an informal night out.

Food was ok, bar my wife having ribs that were unfortunately dry, which ruined the experience for me on the evening. I would also say that whilst it is a unique experience, I felt it was pricy for what you received. To be fair the server reimbursed my wife's meal so not all bad as it helped reduce that average price per head for the food and drink from £27 down to £23 each.

The 4 of us had a great night are table was ready for us on arrival and all the staff were very hard working and very friendly. The meal we had was just top class great food all four of us enjoyed the evening. We are planning a large group of friends for are next vist Smoke Pit you have been warned lol

Great tasty food, huge portions. A bit pricey but worth the money. Definitely a must for meat lovers. Staff were really friendly & helpful too.

Good food but service is slow and very random. Was served by 4 different people. Nice atmosphere. Asked me for i.d even though im 29. The girl was younger than me. So that was annoying

Fantastic service, food and atmosphere. Perfect ☺ We left full to the brim with a doggy bag of leftovers to enot the next day. No complaints at all.

Fabulous tasty food with a very welcoming atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Love the way the restaurant is decorated and the whole menu and décor really go well together.
