Wholly Smoked

Upside: The food is really good. I had the brisket, and it tasted fantastic. Simple with slaw and fries. And not covered in sauce. Came out in good tine as well. Worth the value. Down side: Staff looked desperate standing in front of restaurant, and quite closed with folded arms. Also pointing out the specials when I'm standing right next to it, sort of insults my ability to read.

Visiting from Canada. Came in for a quick bite to eat before we headed to the Zorb. Small and clean space. Very clean bathroom bathroom which is a bonus. Staff was very friendly and food was delicious. We had the all meat Platter which includes ribs, beef brisket, mussels, fries and Cole slaw. Platter was enough for 3 to 4 people. Great place to try if your in the neighborhood.

TLDR - Pro: Large portions, great plating, fast service, smells great from outside, pricing is reasonable. Con: Not enough staff on to serve as primary host; no dedicated bar manager; sauces need just a bit more for dishes. On entering, there was no one to welcome us as they were all busy at the bar. Took about a minute to be seated to our reserved table. Host/waitress served us with menu and specials, and also, prompted the waitress for the drinks menu. Once drinks menu came, water was served. Ordered the Angus Fillet, Beef Ribs, seasonal vegetables, along with two wines. Customer Service - no one was assigned to any particular section. All waitresses and waiters served us, service very fast, smiles, follow ups, all very efficient service. Food was actually good. Only thing to say would be both the ribs and the fillet need more sauce to enhance the flavour for what it is advertising on its menu. The restaurant should have a dedicated bar manager for its busier peak periods, especially on long weekends. Service dips a bit when all host/waitresses/waiters are jumping on to the bar yo clear the queue. Otherwise would recommend this place for a good feed.

Had the Beef Ribs & the Lamb Ribs. Excellent meals.Both tender and falling off the bone. Choice of mash, wedges or fries. Lamb had a glazed, crunchy outer with tender inner. Beef was superb with an excellent gravy. Great presentation, friendly & attentive staff. Large portions. Would I come back here? Wonder if they take lifetime table reservations?
