    Went wanting a steak but they didn’t have any so we opted for our usual brisket (the best brisket in town) and a side of the world’s best mashed potatoes. Pair it with the legendary bbq sauce and it was the best meal ever 😍

    Quick seating to our tables, friendly staff, nice barmen who made our dining out experience enjoyable. Easily one of the largest, filing BBQ Brisket platter for its price. Food was out quickly and already well seasoned to eat straight away. Always an enjoyable night out.

    We went for the American BBQ, but were somewhat disappointed. We ordered the $129 Taphouse Platter, serves ‘up to 4’. The coleslaw, pickles, onion rings & sauce were sufficient to serve one. The meat was plentiful for the 2 of us, but the beef rib, pulled pork and chicken were all dry. The brisket was only just moist enough. The chips were also plentiful, but were served with meats & sauce on top of them, meaning they did not stay crisp for long. We noted the menu did not have corn bread or macaroni cheese, which are staple sides for American BBQ.
