The Smoke Pit - Northampton

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.

Awesome food great atmosphere recommend. The sharing plater is the one to go for. Interesting selection of beers and cocktails and amazing milkshakes not to mention toilets with a twist.

Service friendly, food very good, I had the half rack of ribs, with sweet potatoe fries and Coleslaw,rather a lot of background noise made conversation difficult.

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

Fantastic service and food. Thanks for a great night. We'll be back very soon. There is so much on the menu that we want to try.

Nice atmosphere, got served pretty quickly, food was lovely so recommend the pulled brisket which came with a selection of three shredded/chopped veg. Also there is a refillable drinks machine. Good choice for meat lovers

Food was delicious. There was a bit of a long wait for our main but it was very busy and they gave us complimentary drinks to apologise.

Food is amazing as are the staff. I would highly recommend this place

Not the best food and very expensive for what you get and certainly not kid friendly, t didn't look clean and I realise its supposed to be authentic but the tableware awful

Loved the place and they did a mean nachos. Extremely accommodating in re-arranging tables so we could all have a chat during the meal. Mains were fab and plenty of it. Waitress was lovely. Would definitely return. Thank you all.

The food was excellent and service very good. We booked for 5pm on a Sunday which was nice as not too busy. We will visit again.

Quirky venue, friendly staff, we went for ribs and hot chicken, not only was it filling, but was absolutely delicious!! Can't fault them!! Highly recommend this place!!

Great food, amazing looking restaurant, great art on display, good choices of beers and for a reasonable price. Staff was really kind, our waitress took really good care of us.

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

Great food with a different and unique atmosphere, it was a tad overpriced but I'd definitely go again. Wish we had saved more room for desert!

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 .

What can I say. Possibly one of the best meals I have ever had. I'm a meat lover and we had a shared platter with a HUGE variety of food. It was absolutely delicious and just a bit different and better quality to what you would typically find in an American / BBQ styled diner. In addition to that, staff were really friendly, it played some wicked music including Green Day amongst other bands and had some wicked decor. It was a little bit expensive but I think the price is reflective of how fantastic the food is. Couldn't say a bad thing. You need to go here.

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.

Yummy selection of meats in the shared platter - just a shame we couldn't finish it all. Thanks for the doggy bag though! First class!

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!

Our first visit to The Smoke Pit was excellent, good food and lots of it so you need to be hungry. Fantastic service from people that know their stuff and we are already planning or next visit :-)

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.

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.

Excellent food, good choice of local drinks and great atmosphere. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice casual night out for food and drinks.

Great food , loads of it would recommend to anyone , service a little slow on drinks but apart from that was pretty cool , enjoy !

Fantastic food and great service in a very nice environment. The round table was perfect for our dinner group and the location inside meant it almost felt like a private party. Thank you.

Excellent service and atmosphere, but food a bit of a let down and quite pricey. The food could have had more flavour, even though quantities were very good!

Great food and generous portions! The yummy platter defeated the husband today for the first time! The restaurant is a lovely environment and great service. Thank you

Great restaurant. Started to get a little loud later into the evening, but great service and great food. The nachos starter is amazing. You definitely needs to like meat if you go here...

Really good service the staff look like they enjoy there jobs which is the icing on the cake as the food was amazing. Great value I would highly recommend a visit.

We had a table for two reserved for Saturday evening. We were promptly seated but we're informed that we may have to wait up to 45mins before our food would arrive. It took a little longer than that but the food was excellent and the service was great. We love the atmosphere there and the décor.

Amazing! Going back very soon! We thought we could manage the portions, but you will struggle to finish the food, every once delicious and the service was prompt and friendly. Highly recommended!

This was the first time we had visited and very impressed. Service was excellent and food was top quality. My only non compliant is the size of the nacho starter we had was massive, meaning we felt a little fuller than we would have liked for the mains. However this was not an issue as the staff happily boxed up the remainder of the food so we could take it home :) Overall exllecnt experience and will be recommending to friends and family. Looking forward to going back already :)

Polite staff and good atmosphere a nice light lunch and The bottom less drink were worth the money cause you get at large glass and you have a lot of different drinks to choose from.

The portions are so large, and the meat so rich that it quickly turns into a man v food competition which is not my idea of fun. I shudder to think of the level of food wastage there.

Great great food, top service and a fine range of drinks. Go with an appetite, you'll need it. The sides are more like starters so be careful how many you order

We had a lovely experience, the food was great, good service too. Unique restaurant with a good atmosphere can't wait to go back you are advised to book as very busy.

Delicious food in monster portions with good service in a relaxed pleasant atmosphere. 4 big boys struggled to finish their meals, so we brought some of it home!

The staff were really great. Had the meat platter ribs and pulled pork were brilliant. If your really brave try there extra hot sauce not for the faint hearted

The food is great and the portions are massive. Atmosphere is fun and the decor is pretty unique. The staff are great, service is spot on. Have enjoyed every visit I have made. A+

Great food lovely experience would recommend to anyone very good value and charming amiable staff. Atmosphere pleasant could be a little noisy at times. Food of a very high standard.

Terrible. Waited 40 mins after our drinks for food and it was really quiet. Me and the Mrs had same burger (cow pig chicken burger) and have both been up all night on the loo and throwing up.

My steak wasn't quite cooked to order but it didn't matter. It tasted gorgeous and melted in the mouth. It was very busy so service a little slow but a great atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

The food and environment were lovely. The staff were polite and attentive. Service was quick and no long wait between courses. Only minor negative was Pricing slightly high.

This place was really great, unique looking restaurant, massive portions brilliantly cooked food, good selection of drinks and very friendly service. Will definitely going again.

We came for a birthday lunch, and we weren't dissappointed. Amazing food, generous portion sizes and great friendly service, will be coming back again soon.

The food is amazing every time, the portions are a good size and there's a great selection - I highly recommend the sharing platter for a bit of everything. You'll want to carry on eating long after you're full!

Smokey goodness and amazing flavours! Will definitely be going back!

Brilliant. Willing to go back again and again. Excellent value. Would recommend to any one. Great for a celebration. I'm going back again soon hopefully

The food was really tasty and the choice of drinks was larger than expected, we will definitely be coming back again! Would recommend to friends!
