Went at opening time on a Saturday in January, so it was quiet but still a few tables booked.. so the atmosphere was down but meant our food came fast and fresh to order..Can’t really fault the food at all, was all fresh and you could see the effort that had gone into the preparation..I had the sharing platter which was only £17.50PP; 3 big ribs, 2 big wings, a large portion of pulled pork & pulled brisket, homemade smoked sausage, fries, ranch beans, coleslaw & a handful of pickles..If I had one gripe it would be the brisket not being sliced and kept whole but it was still very nice and tender when pulled.You get 3 homemade sauces at the table, Tennessee BBQ, Honey Sriracha & Carolina Mustard… all 3 are superb.The host/owner is very nice welcoming lady with plenty gusto and a great sense of honour..Will definitely return!

Superb. Would probably argue it as the best burger I have got from just about anywhere. Relaxed atmosphere... would recommend

The food here is some of the best you can get in Chorley and the fries are some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Very satisfying portion sizes. If you're sat there thinking of booking a table or ordering out .. Do it. Treat yourself.

Absolute banger for meat lovers. Visited here last week and went for a sharer platter with a mate and would highly recommend. We'll definitely be going back againParking: Council pay and display 100m down the road which is free after certain time in evening, possible 6 pm
Last minute decision to make the pilgrimage here for tea with a friend. First visited smokies years ago when they were in darwen and it was delicious then. Now it's even more delicious. If your a carnivore this is a place you NEED to visit

Went here before the theatre as a fabulous burger place had moved we tried here. Had booked and arrived before time and entered and just stood whilst the older lady behind the bar barked at the younger server. I don't expect immediate service, but a 'won't be a minute' is usually expected. Ordered food and it was mediocre at best. Dirty fries as a side far better than the food. Never asked once if we were happy with our meal. Which I thought was rude. In any event, didn't have time to go elsewhere due to theatre timings. Overall, felt like we were a burden to staff, heard her being rude to a couple as they started to order food and she told them this was for a drink order. Wow! Never felt welcome, food as stated mediocre, wouldn't return. Could be a nice little place with better staff and nicer food.

Firstly, and I can’t understate this…. The Food was really good!The only issue really was that you buy everything individually. So my smokie stack burger was £14. Then you have to purchase dirty chips separately £6. So for burger and chips £21 , which now makes it expensive. Add a drink on top and a side your looking at £30 per person for one course. Also no children’s menu. I spent £60. No starters or deserts and soft drinks. Realistically if your going out your going to be spending average £100 plus for the full experience for 2. A bit much I think, given I can go for a really good pub grub meal burger, fries and slaw and a nice pint with two adults and one child ( thanks to the kids menu) with either starters or desert for approx £60.Atmosphere was not so great, we sat in the front so with all of those people coming in for their takeaway, And staff stood around chatting, we felt a bit in the way. This may have been a better atmosphere had we been allocated seating elsewhere.Service was, take your order, bring your food. Nothing to write home about, but didn’t help where we were sat as explained earlier.Ow and the table was unstable as well. Had one of those bitty clenching moments when the table nearly collapsed with all the drinks on it, because the edge was lent on.Final note…. This would prob be a really good takeaway for those special occasions.Final final note…. The food really was very very good, so much of the above can be forgiven because of the food experience, we left full.Tip….. order one lot of fries to share. You won’t need one each, they will just go to waste.

Having eaten lots of BBQ in Texas we were wondering how this would compare. The restaurant itself is small, but adds to its charm I guess. The decor could do with some more effort. Due to its size I wouldn’t want to go when it’s busy as I think it would be too noisy and squashy. The food was nice and portions good. It lacked anything special. The day we visited most of the draft beers were out and several of the food options were unavailable. Staff were helpful and friendly. I think it’s slightly pricey for the experience.
