This place deserves more attention. Delicious food with affordable prices. Pretty low-key. I was worried that a my clothes would have bbq smoke smell, but not at all since the grill is placed outside, separates from the dining area. There was an excellent pianist playing live while we were enjoying our dinner as well.

The steak was amazing. Tender and tasty. Tried a few things on menu and all was good. Great hospitality as well. Loved the interior. Located on quaint alley. Totally love this place.

Came in and was expecting the steak to be better. It wasn’t really Smokey at all. Furthermore all the cuts were really high in fat and not really tender. Just not good cuts. We had the t bone and steak. Wished it was better. Also had the bone marrow which was actually good. The ambiance felt nice like a western bbq grill but the flavor, meats and cook was lacking unfortunately. Service was great though no fault to the team.

I went there today with my wife for the first time. We had a delicious dinner and great service! Smoked beef rib, Smoked sausages, Sea bass spring rolls, Grilled Pineapple 🍍 and a delicious desert Lemon Creme Brulee by the staff! They had live music which added to the atmosphere and the delicious dinner. I don't understand why we were the only ones tonight on a Friday?? This restaurant definitely deserves more with the quality service and food and atmosphere. Go and try it for yourself We loved it😍

Nothing to complain about the food, really outstanding and delicious. I ordered the smoke platter, and I really enjoyed the selection of meat, especially the beef tongue which was suprisingly good. We initially ordered a combo and 2 other dishes but the waiter told us it was a lot of food for 2, which it was, so hats off to them for the great service and attention to the customer. Highly recommend this place to anyone and I will come back for more.
