The burgers are brilliant, so moist and full of flavour. You won't need many sides & only try the wing challenge if your suicidal (just seen two grown ass men crying in the bathroom after attempting)

Try the beef ribs (and add the north carolina sauce and sweet and spicy sauce)! very yummy! Try the cheese and mac with bacon as side too!

Whole slab of pork ribs is amazing and can fill 4 lightly hungry people. Staff is friendly even if the place is super busy. Definitely coming back to taste the rest of the menu!

Nice place, including cocktails, beers and of course fit for foodies BBQ. Tried the ribs and chicken, both were cooked on perfection. Better than the typical and overrated London BBQ places

Tasty BBQ and grill style food. If you ask, they will give you a small pot of the hot wings challenge sauce to try. Good luck with that. Great service too.

Did not expect to find good bbq in a London (Shoreditch) pub but lo and behold it was good and tasty. Good sauce to boot. Excellent beer (Camden Pale Ale) on tap too.

The pulled pork and brisket are authentic and there's a good variety of bbq friendly beers. The wine isn't bad either.

Great burgers, awesome wings (the normal ones) and beef rib was tasty. Pulled pork was a little dry without the sauce. Jalapeno poppers were enormous!

Excellent buffalo wings. Better than others I've had in so-called 'authentic' places (Sticky Wings, etc.)

Do not eat the wings from the hot wing challenge. The are unlike anything you could possibly imagine. One bite and I was ill. Thought I was having a heart attack. I am dreading the morning....

Grew up in Mississippi. The pulled pork sandwich is as good as any. Onion rings are very good; hand made- not those pre-fab ones. Avoid the Mac & cheese - more cheese than mac...

Reuben burger is amazing and if you don't mind spending a few more pennies treat yourself to a milkshake. The banana and peanut butter milkshake was delicious!

The giant burger made from three 6oz beef patties, 200g of pulled pork, six rashers of applewood smoked bacon and six slices of cheese takes the centre stage. Read more

A good rival to Bodeans, Ribs & Pulled Pork are the winner and the sides of Chilli and Mac & Cheese a triumph

Absolutely massive portion sizes, and if you're wondering a "burnt end pie" is a bit like a shepards pie.

I use to not like this place in terms of it's food, but then they pulled their socks up and now produce an edible burger. Although they let themselves down with the whole eating challenge nonsense!

Take the signature burger for something different yet delicious. The onion rings are good - breaded not deep fried. The coleslaw is not worth your money.

Only come here if you're hungry for meat! Burgers are tasty, fries ok but uninteresting, bourbon milkshake good, could do with pepping up. Meatmission around the corner is better, if you can get in

Had ribs and pulled pork. Delicious but not as good as Bodeans and MUCH dearer. I'd rather go Diner if I'm in the area.

The pulled pork burger isn't a scratch on Bodeans but the quality seems good and with a little less BBQ sauce it could be good. Decent fries and slaw. Fair price.

Best chicken wings I've had in a long time, great ribs, but the chili is not good, sort of like bolognese sauce.
