I’ve eaten BBQ all over Texas and the South for 10yrs, this place is legit. Well-seasoned, slow-smoked almost falling-apart brisket. Sauce pretty good, not too sweet. They use the proper imported whole US brisket rather than smaller, British grass-fed lean ones which don’t really work as well. The smoked beef rib plate rib was huge (450g) and really good with housemade pickles. Fries and sides need some work. Picnic benches are cool, only rubbish bins are the big ones! Cool and fun adventure finding it, too. Great find. Go now!

Great Short Rib and Peanut Oil Fries, although the rib could use a bit more flavour, and they should have at least ONE hot BBQ sauce. 4 stars only because its a bit expensive (no fries with the £20 rib) , could have a little more flavourful spices and they are sort of in the middle of nowhere in a rather unkept area. Also no pork, and you have to wait until after 5pm for Brisket or Ribs. But overall one of the best places in London to get nice Beef Ribs the size of a car muffler. :) If you are down south near Balham, I suggest Smoke Daddies (check my reviews and photos) who have the same style rib, including fries for a bit cheaper and tastier!

OK. So first up the food is amazing. As a BBQ guy I know good BBQ and this is legit. Really well smoked. Good sides and condiments. Had the brisket fries (absolutely fave!) and had the short rib. Brisket fries were amazing and would deffo go back for that. Ribs were fall off the bone delightful but a little fatty...to fair that is the cut of meat. Two negatives....minor.....location isn't great and seats outside not viable when it's raining. So it's a bit of an adventure. Prices are high in my opinion for what is not a restaurant with seats and service. £20 for brisket fries when I'm going there myself picking up and walking off. Seems steep....although I admit the price of beef is sky high. Overall a very worth Mecca for BBQ fans.

Amazing food. As a smoked meat lover this was easily one of the best I've had. Brisket Fries were so large I had to save my Steak Bun for later! Staff friendly and prompt. Looking forward to expansion and moving to a restaurant location!

Best halal brisket in London, if not anywhere I've ate at. Juicy and flavoursome meat, excellent sauces - service bang on Brisket fries are absolutely a must. The level of pickles given, enough to earn this place a 10/10 😁 Sells out quick though, so don't delay!

Super tasty and generous portions. I liked the deep flavours of the meat. The restaurant is below the train tracks in an industrial area which was suits the cuisine and added to the experience.

First time ordering from here, thought they had shut down after they moved from the previous shop. The new branch is bigger, with nice seating outside, plenty of parking also. The menu is very simple and easy to order from. We ordered the ribs and brisket burger. Order served in about 15 mins. The food quality was top tier! Brisket was phenomenal, ribs were super good. Great visit, will be back.

Very urban atmosphere. The most amazing bbq I have ever had in the UK. Definitely recommend. Try to to go relatively early when it opens because the short ribs just vanish.

Brisket served here it's superb 👌 the meat was incredibly tasty and the sauce.. such an incredible recipe! I never tried the coffee bbq sauce before. The location it's not the greatest.. but the food it's so worthy. I will comeback.

One of the better bbq places in London This was my second time eating here, the first time I got the brisket burger and pulled meat fries. the burger is really good and filled with meat although I wish they use a different as the brioche bun clashes with the meat. The pulled loaded fries were not my thing, the meat had this cooked off apple juice sweetness to it which wasn’t enjoyable. This time, I got the ribs which was a large portion with a side of pickles. The meat was tender and overall really good. Unlike the burger, the ribs don’t have a particular flavour as it just tastes “beefy”. It would be amazing if it had a certain flavour or rub on it. As for seating, I hope they have proper seating outside for you to enjoy the meal here. Overall, great place offering tender bbq meat with the potential to be even better!
