Really tasty food with its own unique take on smoked classics. The squid, pulled pork, macaroni bites and boneless Korean chicken thighs were especially good. 10/10 for service, the owner was really friendly and made us feel like a guest in her home

The nicest staff, super friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, we had the alter, it was so good. Nice wine and atmosphere, we sat outside and it was like being on holiday. Will definitely come back here with friends. Refreshing to have great customer service and a hearty meal. I'd say even suitable for vegetarians.

Amazing BBQ food!! The burnt ends are unbelievably good. Once we had departed we all were highly considering going back to buy more even though we were very full. It has a very American BBQ joint feel and aesthetic i.e the food isn't served on fancy slate plates etc but this doesn't not detract from the food which is the most important thing!

Good food, friendly staff, excellent prices. Food took a while but I guess that's part of the course with smokehouses. Still, some updates or a heads-up would've been nice. Seems to be a pattern judging by other reviews. Lovely atmosphere inside, though.

A very decent bbq smoke house. Burnt ends are top notch and the ribs and burgers are tasty. The staff we have encountered have always been pleasant and we have sometimes been given complimentary home made tortillas. My partner and I do enjoy the place when we’re in the area and fancy bbq style food but I must say the only downside is there never tends to be much of an atmosphere when we have been in. Perhaps it’s the layout of the place, but that is the only fault I could find. The decor is pretty cool and eye catching.

Really great food and friendly staff. Burnt ends were a highlight. Having just got back from a road trip around the southern states of the US this place was just what I needed. The pork ribs here were up there with the ones I had in Memphis and Nashville. The Brisket just melted in my mouth. Portions were massive and I am a fat guy. If you like American barbecue food you will like this place.

Wow, if you like real BBQ with Cajun/Haitian/Creole roots then this is the place! Wide selection of bbq goodies; I had ‘the alter’ which was a little bit of everything (pulled pork, burnt ends, ribs, brisket all bbqed) and some Cajun fries. All was totally delicious and no issues except for the brisket being a little dry (but the flavour made up for this). We had a complementary starter of cornbread and chili-butter then dived in. I had the calamari rings to start and then the aforementioned ‘Alter’. Our server was a warm relaxed and friendly waitress, perfect for the relax nature of the restaurant. Okay, yes, the decor is a little eclectic but if that affects the way you taste your food then that’s on you. We had visited for lunch on Sunday and it was quiet and the service was fast. Overall I was blown away, the food is great. I would like to know more about the process however. I’m adding this to my list of must do things in Bristol. Also, remember the roots of this food and know that everything has spice in (not hot at all, barely noticeable for me, but I noticed a couple reviews pointing this out as if it’s a bad thing). I personally love this. If you like your spice too, you can ask for their ‘super hot sauce’ and they bring out an unbranded glass bottle of pure scotch bonnet fire 🔥. Price was the upper limit for a relaxed restaurant but I was more than happy to pay due to above standard food. Thank you for your traditional cooking producing the best bbq meats I’ve tasted in Bristol!

What an awesome experience! We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who seated us quickly. Our waiter couldn't do enough for us and had an excellent knowledge of the menu. The food arrived faster than we expected and was incredible. I had the ribs and my partner had The Alter which is a mixed grill. The portions were big and the prices were spot on. We ordered burnt ends, as a side, and they are the best burnt ends we have ever tasted. Being avid BBQ eaters that's a bold but more than true statement. Stunning decor with a nice chilled atmosphere along with professional, friendly staff. We can't wait to return to try the burgers and dogs on the menu. Well worth a visit. I hope this budding restaurant will be around for years to come.

We popped in for an early lunch and had great service, the guy serving was very polite, friendly and knew his menu and drinks. I chose 'The Altar' which is a good plate for carnivores, Chicken, ribs, brisket, fries and slaw! We also sampled the burger and a kids meal... oh and must not forget the burnt ends, they were delicious just like the other dishes! This is a great place to eat and could imagine it's a great atmosphere when busy. 5* We'll be back for more!
