food isn’t great. barely meat on the bones of the pork ribs. Service is lovely. Everyone was warm and welcoming and attentive.
Bison Bar & BBQResponded on 9 December 2024
Hi Vince, Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our service and found the team warm and welcoming. However, we're sorry to learn you were disappointed with your meal, lack of meat is not the house standard. Our staff checked in with your table throughout the meal, and nothing was mentioned at the time. Had we known, we would have been more than happy to address your concerns immediately. Your feedback is important to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a even better experience in the future. Best Wishes, Bison Bar & BBQ team.

Initial waitress who seated us was lovely, very nice and welcoming a credit to the bar, however the waitress that took us the bill asked me how much i wanted to tip out loud in front of everyone, this is an absolute disgrace, i always leave a generous tip but on this occasion all i gave was 10 euro, i just hope the 10 euro will make up for me never coming back or recommending this place to anyone ever again which ive done on multiple occasions.

Place could be cleaner, staff were pleasant, not their fault there were no customers. Food was poor quality. Won’t be returning & wouldn’t recommend.
