Now taking Christmas bookings! Fantastic festive set menu including your own private 'speakeasy' private room, from only £25 per person.. See bluegrass-bbq.com/christmas for details!

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.

The food was ok, the onion rings lacked taste, the frickles were really really greasy. The mac and cheese sauce tasted like it needed to be cooked through. The tables are tiny. The place is dirty, floors are slippy, I had to hold on for dear life when navigating the toilets upstairs. The staff were inattentive, no sparking water to drink. We went on a Saturday evening, the tables were empty. The place looks and feels old and tired and needs an injection of love.

Although the staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was good, we waited far too long. I mean exceptionally long for food. Dishes came up separately, sides weren’t done until we’d finished mains even. This restaurant needs to put its indoor paying customers before trying to meet Deliveroo orders. Or hire more kitchen staff! Put us off returning which is sad. Plus, upstairs floor was so sticky our chairs stuck to the floor. Sad because we love the food :(

Service was slow, when food came out it was cold, the burger buns were hard and the mac and cheese had no flavour. Half way through eating we were asked if we wanted coffee after our food as they wanted to turn the machine off! Felt like they just wanted to go home !!
