Our Story

Back In 2018 Dave had a vision to bring the true authentic American smoked BBQ experience across the Atlantic to Hertfordshire uk.

Dave started his catering career 20 years ago working the Street Food circuits catering for outside events, fast forward to 2018 he decided to open a restaurant in Hoddesdon, Between Dave and his family a smoke restaurant was born giving their customers a taste of the best smoked food in the country, winning 2 awards in the first year of trading is quite an achievement but they done it.

The whole atmosphere of the restaurant is lively, buzzing and fun with good music and happy friendly staff, all this put into one restaurant makes it the place to go with family & friends, when you leave (which you won’t want to) it will be like leaving a friend’s BBQ with you just wanting to hurry back as soon as you can.

All their meats are supplied from Smithfield market London, using only carefully selected cuts to give the best flavours possible.

Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, cooked low “n” slow (unbelievably for 16 hours), Ribs coated in a secret rub that are also smoked for 6 hours then served with BBQ sauce, then not forgetting the endless flavours of their Chicken wings and their burgers that just keep getting bigger as you go through the menu.

The whole menu provides melt in your mouth (as once quoted) “pornographic food”.

It is the sheer passion for quality food and outstanding service from the whole team that makes the place what it is.
