Great quality of food - the ribs were just wow, and I love the surroundings and decor. I would definitely visit this place again - great job all.
Great food as always, although our eyes were bigger than our belly’s. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will be visiting again very soon x
Again.... another great night! I am not sure my wife and I can fault this place. Just hope it’s as good the next time we’re in Northampton. Keep doing what you’re doing! #cowpigchicken
Food was amazing and service started off brilliantly until we were either going to have a dessert or get the bill and the girl serving didn’t come back to us and kept ignoring our table. We ended up getting a different waitresses attention and decided to pay instead of have dessert. Other than this, it was really good and I will definitely be back
Amazing food, and they accommodated us even though we were 30mins late and at closing time. Highly recommend the smoked lamb ribs, but everything looked so good I asked the wife if we could come back tomorrow.
Lovely food, friendly staff, we had a great time celebrating a family birthday. Loved the Mac and cheese , burnt end beans and the cocktails!
Excellent cocktails food and service. The cocktails were spot on and looked and tasted amazing we would highly recommend the corona Rita and the sob
Get what you pay for! Order the onion rings major side - you won’t regret it. Thickshakes are on another planet, highly recommended. Great for sharing.
Service was slow. Had Phat Platter. Meat skewer was a little tasteless and chewy, but everything else was ok. Food is on the pricey side.
Great food & atmosphere. The only down side was our table was right next to the drinks machine, so had diners standing by us while we were eating.
Excellent service & food. Probably my favourite restaurant in Northampton
I found the staff very helpful and friendly and the food was really nice would definitely go there again and would recommend it to family and friends
Amazing friendly staff, and great service. Food was received quickly even with picky people in the party that requested menu changes and the staff were very attentive. Great atmosphere
Friendly staff and helpful staff, great selection on the menu and excellent portions, thoroughly enjoyed the pulled brisket and the banoffee waffle was delicious, thank you.
Absolutely loved it. It was our first time going after being recommended by family. Would definitely go here again. Lovely food and atmosphere. There is a car park just down the road. The staff are super friendly too.
We arrived at the restaurant at half seven and did not eat till ten after being told that there was only a 45 minute wait for food. People were arriving after us and had there food delivered to their table before we did. Not a good service that night
Great food, great atmosphere and fast, friendly service. Booking process was easy to follow, table ready on arrival and location. We took advantage of the all you can eat ribs and chicken, they say all you can eat but in reality there is so much on the 1st plate you won't make it onto a 2nd.
Great thanks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .
The service and food was amazing. I cannot think of anything negative. A lovely evening was had by all. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Lovely food and really nice atmosphere. The nachos are amazing! I have been a few times and have never been disappointed, Well worth a visit.
Great food and good value for money. The beef rib was incredible.The soda machine was fun. Only thing to improve... my wife asked for a cocktail not on the menu but unfortunately they said they were too busy to make anything off the menu
The food is amazing plus the staff are incredibly friendly! Would definitely come again!! The dining is great, great scenery and music with equally great food
Smoke Pit serves fantastic quality food and provided absolutely great service. All of the staff were very friendly and ensured drinks were always topped up. Definitely recommend to anyone!
Cocktails were amazing - especially the CoronaRita! We had nachos to share for starters - very large for two but very delicious! Cheesy marmite fries were a must order side!
very accommodating and food was excellent, fab evening had by all :) large portions of food and great to have takeaway boxes for your left-overs
Excellent and different food! Very interesting restaurant with BBQ flavoured burgers as well as steaks and other goodies. Would highly recommend arriving hungry and ready to eat.
Amazing service and top quality food! Staff couldn’t do enough for us and were very speedy! Can not wait for the next visit.
the food was lovely, well presented and good value for money. The staff were efficient, helpful and friendly. We will definitely come again and spread the word!
Great food with a large selection on the menu. Staff were very helpful with any queries we had. Overall, somewhere we want to return to.
Amazing Food definitely going again. Could work on service a little. The servers were friendly but it just took a lot of time to get served, and it wasn't that busy in the restaurant.
Had a few issues during meal but they were dealt with and apologies given. Table we had was a little small when you have drinks, food and sides.
Great atmosphere and huge portions - be warned... go easy on the starters. Closest equivalent to an American steak restaurant that I’ve visited outside of New York. Good quality steaks and cooked properly - tender and no ‘dodgy bits’. The sides were excellent. The unlimited soft drinks bar is good for the designated driver and a good range of beers, etc. for everyone else in your party.
Even though we had booked there was a wait of 20 mins to be seated and then a further 40 ish mins for the food to come. My steak was delicious but my partners was slightly fatty. Service was very friendly
Excellent food, friendly service, and an interesting selection of drinks - easily my favourite restaurant in Northampton town centre. The portions are generous, bring your appetite!
Perfect, food and service was amazing, would deffo recommend to anyone!!!! Great environment, great menu choice, portions are huge!!! Can barely love now! Love love loved it!!!
Unlimited wings were amazing. 12 per platter and we had 2 lots for £21.99. Amazing quality and flavour. This is one of my favourite restaurants in Northampton and now I have converted another friend.
Great quality food, good atmosphere and the Coke machine is great fun. Not the cheapest but definitely worth it. One of the best restaurants in Northampton
Ordered drinks that after 20 mins still hadnt arrived, repeatedly had to ask for them to actually get them. Steaks were expensive, not cooked to how asked and were also really tough. Luke Headrun
Food lovely, waitresses helpful, but took about 20 mins to order a first drink !! I appreciate they were busy, but a drink would have made the wait more acceptable
We absolutely love it at the Smoke Pit, fantastic food, great atmosphere and great service - highly recommend. Our 6 year old loves it too
Lovely food and atmosphere. Just wish staff were a bit more attentive. I appreciate it was busy though. Reasonably priced and unlimited coke refills a bonus
Food was amazing. Staff were friendly. After we finished our main meal we were left sitting there for about half an hour with no drinks, no offer for desert, no one came to check on us. It wasn’t busy and there was staff walking about even around where we were sitting and we seemed to get totally ignored.
always brilliant food and service every time we go in. Will always reccomend this place to friends and family. Never miss this place if your in Northampton
Great food, brilliant service, awesome drinks, great value for money. What more do you want or need from a restaurant???? Shall be back soon.
Huge menu, friendly staff, prompt service and AMAZING food 🐮 🐷 🐔 will certainly return again very soon () () () () () () ()
Great night out in smoke pit Steaks are very juicy and tasty One criticism steaks should come with fat chips though not skinny fries lol
3 of us shared a starter for 2 ...we hadn't visited before but I knew portion sizes were generous...and I'm glad we didn't get a starter each as we all struggled to get through our Main courses....We had a bit of a wait but it does state that on the menu if it's busy it may be a while...and the waiting staff also let us know...but to be honest a breather inbetween courses is no bad thing.Food is plentiful, flavoursome and filling..plenty of honest Tucker for your bucks.Atmosphere was loud and bustling.No formalities,very casual and comfortable..Just folk enjoying good food in good company.
We had a great evening, great portion sizes - very full teenagers - well done!! A great children’s menu. Great food, a lovely experience. Thankyou
Nice atmosphere and helpful staff. Everyone left feeling full and well fed. The glass roof became quite dramatic as we goto share in a thunderstorm without getting wet.
The staff were really friendly and helpful for the indecisive. The atmospehe, decor and general vibe was great, it was a proper cool place to eat. It is a little pricey though, hence the 5 not 6.
