    Great value, tasty bbq in a lovely pub. Charming, fun staff and overall a great meal. Chicken thighs were a standout, beef rib was a touch dry but still tasty. Nice fresh slaw, not too creamy, and the mac cheese was very good also. Pork ribs excellent. Were this my joint I think I'd cut back on something (pork ribs maybe) and add a hot link for variety. For the price, top notch. Great whiskeys also.

    I eat smashed burgers regularly and in my humble opinion this was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Everything was perfect, the bun, the crispy prosciutto, cheese skirt and the burgers themselves, juicy with crispy edges, but not greasy. Also, very reasonably priced. Highly recommend a visit
