Barbecue
Situated directly opposite Windsor Castle. With a passion for Real American BBQ, it is our quest to bring the genuine flavours of the Southern States to the UK.

For lunch & dinner we serve our smoked meats, all cooked the true American way which means our BBQ pitmasters work around the clock to ensure the 'cue we serve when our doors open is the best you will find - it takes nearly 48 hours of loving care and attention to perfect each of our smoked meat cuts.

For breakfast, we serve up freshly made-to-order American pancakes with delicious toppings, as well as fully loaded smoked breakfast plates.

    Don’t bother, messy, unclean, and very slow service. Thank goodness another table told us not to order because their food was that bad. We left.

    It was ok, but nothing spectacular for the prices charged. The staff were excellent, unfortunately the food was only ok, not as good as we had hoped for.

    A very long wait in an empty restaurant for some very poor food. We arrived at 12.05. We ordered at about 12.20. Food finally arrived at about 13.05. Don’t mind if it was worth the wait. It really wasn’t. The brisket was really dry and stringy. I have had good BBQ brisket- it is nothing like what I received. My mother and wife were equally disappointed in their food. We finished eating and then sat with the plates on the table until 13.45, being ignored by the staff. I gave up and went and asked for the bill. A bad experience not to be repeated.

    The new guy working there was really good but there was a lady (possibly the owner) who was quite rude, did not have good presentation and seemed like she wasn't very interested in providing a good experience for her customers. Food was great and good value for money

    Sat downstairs in the window which is very cafe style. Meal said served with a raw slaw which sounded lovely but was actually 2 teaspoons in a soggy 3cm paper pot. When you put in your fork in you got the paper bottom as it disintegrated. Note tip it out on your plate! Brisket was quite tough so disappointing. BBQ wings were the best bit. Very disappointed.

    Awful experience. There was only two tables in the restaurant including us. Food took ages, arrived cold. Got sent off and was ‘redone’ it was the same food we sent in. We ate what we could because we were starving. Waiter didn’t charge us after such a poor experience so I can’t really complain. Was supposed to be a nice meal out for my birthday, what a flop!

    Seemingly one person in the kitchen and one person front of house. Not many people but slow to get food out. Our burger was not hot but edible and the brisket portion small (but tasty). Table next door sent back all their burgers as they were cold. Had to wait to find the front of house staff to get the bill, eventually waited at the front bar for this.

    Great food, loved the ribs and creamed corn. Quiet but we were 8pm booking. However, no waiting for our food so that was good. Would def visit again. Only downside was limited bar choices but know they were staying true to the American theme.

    Food pretty poor , don’t bother with the brisket - about the same as from a supermarket - seemed like it was boil in the bag , most of it seemed re-heated… shame , not up to the standards of Bodeans - London , or Smokeworks - Cambridge

    We think our order was forgotten, as a member of staff came to apologise that the wait was so long. This wasn't a huge issue, but the food was only lukewarm when it did arrive. When we paid the bill, the staff did take 10% off to acknowledge we had to wait longer than usual without us having to say anything, so this was appreciated. Overall, it was disappointing.

    Great place to eat In the centre of Windsor. The burgers are amazing. It’s a tasty beef burger in a lightly toasted brioche bread bun served with wafer thin onion rings. They have a large menu with other things too. The staff are friendly and helpful and a good atmosphere while your eating. It’s worth a visit, we will be back !

    Booked a table for an anniversary meal, It took 25 mins for anyone to come and take our order for food and drinks. Only after prompting someone finally came over - It was pretty quite.. only 3 other tables were occupied in our area and the staff just seemed to be chatting Behind the bar. Food came quickly but that was pretty much the only positive thing. We ordered 2 burgers and a side of Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was cold, the cheese on top wasn’t even melted and tasted very basic. The burgers were fine, but again weren’t exactly hot! We sent the Mac and cheese back and after 10mins it came back, barely any hotter. When booking I also mentioned it was a anniversary meal, but there was zero attempt of anything special. So pretty disappointing overall! Wouldn’t recommend.
