Not what I expected. Honestly thought it was going to be like bucks bar, but it's just a small wee place, hidden away. Not going to sugar coat it... The food was AMAZING. Too much I couldn't finish it. I had a pulled pork bun, yum 😋 (the slaw was delicious). And a side of macaroni, also, yum 😋 Could've been warmer inside but I am like a vampire so just personal preference. Got busier as we were leaving around 8.30

Probably the best American food I've had outside America. The burgers were damn good! Will definitely come back for more.
Read on Google MapsA great place to sit and enjoy amazing food. Plenty of offer on the menu, even the basic chicken burger was amazing and the bigger burgers looked fantastic. A range of US drinks on offer, which is something you don't see very often. Highly recommend
Read on Google MapsHad beef brisket and a chicken burger. Brisket was exceptional and chicken was considered "best chicken burger ever". Heavy praise indeed.
Read on Google MapsWhilst looking up BBQ shacks in Glasgow, I stumbled on this place. Now first up, you can only make reservations if you have a party of 10 or more, if not you need to turn up and take a chance. Table turn around time is fast so you should not wait more than 15 minutes (fingers crossed). Free parking outside from 6:30pm. Looking at the menu there is a fair choice of food however it is a little burger top heavy, but as I said there is a lot of BBQ choices. The food is ordered via an online app (squared up) and is delivered canteen style on metal trays. We ordered way too much for two people, but in my defence we (a) wanted to try a bit of everything and (b) we believed that portion sizes might be small. I was so wrong! I ordered the brisket, ribs, burger with fries for myself. We also ordered more ribs, BBQ wings and Mac & Cheese. The ribs meat fell off the bone and were smoked/seasoned perfectly, same with the brisket, not only was the meat juicy and moist, but the portion size was perfect. The burger was clearly handmade and was cooked perfectly. I was told the wings were also amazing and the Mac & Cheese was great. The only comment I would say is the BBQ Wings did have a little too much sauce on them for my personal taste, that was just me personally. A couple of things, seating is a little cramped, not a big thing, but could be an issue if you were disabled or in a chair. The restaurant is styled to be a USA BBQ shack and most of the respects it pulls it off, however playing UK dance music rather than the expected music choice (blue grass country etc.). The surrounding/food did not marry with the music. Lastly it is a shame, not a criticism, that the choice of sauces available was very limited to BBQ. If some more choices from USA regions were available this would definitely add to the experience. Other than that, food was very reasonably priced and served promptly even though they were busy. Thank you for a lovely evening and great food.
