The Smoke Pit - Northampton

incredible food as per usual, would highly recommend to anyone who likes smoked, grilled or bbq meats.

Lovely food as always. Can’t wait to go back for more!

Food is great everyone we go , great atmosphere and staff friendly and attentive. Also have vegan/ vegetarian options. Recommend to book however, as it fires fill up fast.

Unbelievably good restaurant. Good service, great drinks and mind-blowing food. One of the best burgers I've had and when I visited last week, one of the best steaks I've had

Awesome chicken wings, delicious rack of ribs! The food has definitely improved recently, but service is still taking ages (30min+ to get our starters and another 45min to get our mains).

Fantastic restaraunt with great team of staff, the food is fantastic and the theme is very matching great smoke house a must visit place don’t think you can pick wrong!

8pm on a Saturday evening - the restaurant was buzzing. The service was great and the food arrived in a timely fashion. We ordered chicken wings and squid to start and 3 sets of ribs - it was all brilliant! Would definitely recommend and will be back...

Great food, great atmosphere! Love this place, the Cow Pig Chicken burger is a winner! Also great desserts and sundaes if you've any room left after your main!

Food was amazing, value for money too for the amount you get

Great place to eat and huge portions of great tasting good. I would recommend this place to anyone / everyone. Ribs are to die for!

Food was great, most of the Servers were ignorant/rude or too busy chatting to serve. Such slow service. Smiling isnt a chore...but not if you ask 3 of the guys working tonight. The lady who bought our food, and the one who gave us our bill were very polite. The rest...just made us fee like we were an inconvenience. Which is a shame!

We had really high hopes for my daughters 15th birthday dinner. The food presentation was funky but unfortunately taste and texture was flat, overcooked and not so great. Shame really.

The food is a little pricy so you expect it to be amazing. I had a T Bone and it came out on a skillet which was cold. And partially cut up. After 5mins after eating some of the steak the rest of it was cold. The fries were also served in metal pots which took the heat out of them so you manage to get some of your food hot but it quickly turns cold due to what its served in. Lastly the seating is very basic and not very comfortable so you cannot enjoy your meal fully. Not impressed and will not be going back

Very quick service, good choice of very tasty food, good portion sizes. Like the presentation on trays. Definitely will come back and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic food (platter for 2) ... speedy delivery with friendly engaged team members .. could not have asked for more and would certainly recommend to friends and family

Great resteraunt to eat out in, friendly staff and clean; would recommend and will be visiting again. Lots of choice on menu and good portion sizes

Food was a real treat all perfectly cooked. Pork loin is a particular recommendation from our daughter . The steak cooked to perfection with the tobacco onions although not sounding tasty was a real surprise.

I can not fault The Smoke Pit. Great food and great service. The industrial / rustic style seating is set out really well. You are not too close to the diners at the next table. Definitelyy worth a visit.

Always amazing food and service! This is our favourite place to eat . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Great food and great service was given to my party of 3,i have been to your restaurant before and the overall experience has been very good on each occasion i would not hesitate to tell my friends and family to visit your resturant.

Fabulous quality and quantity of food. Been here several times now and it never disappoints. The service was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere great- it was ful, even on a Wednesday evening so that speaks volumes. Look forward to booking again soon.

The food was amazing as always and staff lovely! Only thing was the waiting time! I understand it was extremely busy for a Monday night so waiting 45/50 mins for food wasn’t too bad. But was a bit annoying that after our plates were cleared be sat there for about 10/15 mins trying to get someone to come give us the dessert menus. And then after deciding to forget dessert, after not receiving menus, we had to wait another 15 mins and ask two separate people for the bill as the first person must have forgotten us. But luckily the second server was very apologetic and said he would speak to the first person we asked for! So other then the wait it was a lovely meal out!

Food was excellent. Milkshakes were yummy. Only complaint chairs were u comfortable. Would definetly go there again only would not have milk shake again because i couldnt finish my dinner.

Too much food served and it would have been better if we had of been advised about the size of the portions; this way we would not have ordered so much. Drinks were good, service was good and restaurant atmosphere was good

Very busy Saturday night and that clearly impacted the quality of the food. Last time was great but bits were over cooked. Still nice but they need to check before they allow food to leave the kitchen

the steak on our surf and turf came out blue we ordered it medium rare. So the waitress when in to get it reheated. Once she came out with it where the battered prawns were waiting on the sauce it has became all sloppy as did the scampi. The scampi was just filled with grease. The swordfish was vinegary.

First time eating here, great atmosphere and incredible food! Definitely recommend!

Excellent food, good value for money, all staff efficient friendly and excellent service. Restaurant busy but did not have to wait longer than expected. Great evening.

Excellent service and food. Waitress was very good and very helpful. Just make sure you don’t eat loads before you go 😀 would definitely recommend.

Great food and service was good too. I realise it’s an American themed restaurant, but it might be nice to have the odd European lager on the menu as well as what’s available. A personal preference, but I prefer the crisp biers such as Peroni, Amstel and the like. Perhaps not in keeping with the style, but just a suggestion.

Great experience - easy to use gluten free options - friendly staff - actually went twice this week - good is amazing - thank you

Lovely food as always! Looking forward to a return visit very soon. Steaks were perfectly cooked and my husband enjoyed his ribs. Great place to eat.

Heat food and atmosphere, refillable drinks seemed a bit steep at £4/5 but great selection... would definitely go back!!

Really good experience just a little too noisy but still very good food and environment. Food was great need to and more to this review just to post

An fun and unusual place to eat in Northampton. Good food and sociable!

The food is out of this world and the service is fantastic. It’s our second visit and we weren’t disapointed. Our waiter and waitress was super attentive and helpful.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere was brilliant, the staff was fantastic, we were able to talk to each other without having to shout over the music, at the end of the evening, we asked the staff about the artwork, as my brother liked one of the pictures, very informative about it, going to tell everyone about The Smoke Pit

Good, efficient service. No waiting when we arrived. We knew what to expect with the £42 mixed platter. We weren't disappointed. Only criticism is the top end price of the draught beer. £4.80.

Was great food and service but had jusr main and was asked to leave the table and drink at the bar while we fonished off drinks at the end which made us feel unwelcome and ruined the evening

Always excellent service and great good. One thing to make sure, make sure you are hungry before you go as so much food. Always high quality.

Good food, great service, would highly recommend a visit here

Amazing food and quick service, couldn’t fault. Plenty of choice available, I’m vegetarian and wasmore than satisfied with my meal, would definitely recommend to anyone!

Great food great space great staff. I had the Korean BBQ ribs wow just wow. I need to get a taxi next time the Bourbon menu is vast.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. The meat is all so well cooked, flavoured and there is a great selection. Service was efficient, even though it was very busy. The drinks selection is also great.

Great food as always, very friendly and help full staff, cocktails where amazing, Food always hot and we’ll prepare, Clean and tidy restaurant and toilets

Fantastic choice of food on the menu so much so we all struggled to make a choice of what to eat. Very friendly staff, service quick despite it being a Saturday night, would highly recommend.

Really nice, thoughtful and attentive staff. Great food. Hefty, beautifully made comfort food. Go there when you want to eat a gorgeous plate of big food. Maybe not first date material.

Amazing food and awesome cocktails. Go here every time I get the chance for either lunch or dinner. Won’t regret it! Southern fried chicken burger is the best.

Overall a good experience. I went for the Ol’Dirty Burger with sweet potato fries. The menu is a bit pricey, so be careful what you order. Share with others and save a few quid! :)
