Unbelievably good restaurant. Good service, great drinks and mind-blowing food. One of the best burgers I've had and when I visited last week, one of the best steaks I've had

Awesome chicken wings, delicious rack of ribs! The food has definitely improved recently, but service is still taking ages (30min+ to get our starters and another 45min to get our mains).

8pm on a Saturday evening - the restaurant was buzzing. The service was great and the food arrived in a timely fashion. We ordered chicken wings and squid to start and 3 sets of ribs - it was all brilliant! Would definitely recommend and will be back...

Food was great, most of the Servers were ignorant/rude or too busy chatting to serve. Such slow service. Smiling isnt a chore...but not if you ask 3 of the guys working tonight. The lady who bought our food, and the one who gave us our bill were very polite. The rest...just made us fee like we were an inconvenience. Which is a shame!

We had really high hopes for my daughters 15th birthday dinner. The food presentation was funky but unfortunately taste and texture was flat, overcooked and not so great. Shame really.

The food is a little pricy so you expect it to be amazing. I had a T Bone and it came out on a skillet which was cold. And partially cut up. After 5mins after eating some of the steak the rest of it was cold. The fries were also served in metal pots which took the heat out of them so you manage to get some of your food hot but it quickly turns cold due to what its served in. Lastly the seating is very basic and not very comfortable so you cannot enjoy your meal fully. Not impressed and will not be going back

Food was a real treat all perfectly cooked. Pork loin is a particular recommendation from our daughter . The steak cooked to perfection with the tobacco onions although not sounding tasty was a real surprise.

I can not fault The Smoke Pit. Great food and great service. The industrial / rustic style seating is set out really well. You are not too close to the diners at the next table. Definitelyy worth a visit.

The food was amazing as always and staff lovely! Only thing was the waiting time! I understand it was extremely busy for a Monday night so waiting 45/50 mins for food wasn’t too bad. But was a bit annoying that after our plates were cleared be sat there for about 10/15 mins trying to get someone to come give us the dessert menus. And then after deciding to forget dessert, after not receiving menus, we had to wait another 15 mins and ask two separate people for the bill as the first person must have forgotten us. But luckily the second server was very apologetic and said he would speak to the first person we asked for! So other then the wait it was a lovely meal out!

Too much food served and it would have been better if we had of been advised about the size of the portions; this way we would not have ordered so much. Drinks were good, service was good and restaurant atmosphere was good

Very busy Saturday night and that clearly impacted the quality of the food. Last time was great but bits were over cooked. Still nice but they need to check before they allow food to leave the kitchen

the steak on our surf and turf came out blue we ordered it medium rare. So the waitress when in to get it reheated. Once she came out with it where the battered prawns were waiting on the sauce it has became all sloppy as did the scampi. The scampi was just filled with grease. The swordfish was vinegary.

Great food and service was good too. I realise it’s an American themed restaurant, but it might be nice to have the odd European lager on the menu as well as what’s available. A personal preference, but I prefer the crisp biers such as Peroni, Amstel and the like. Perhaps not in keeping with the style, but just a suggestion.

The atmosphere was brilliant, the staff was fantastic, we were able to talk to each other without having to shout over the music, at the end of the evening, we asked the staff about the artwork, as my brother liked one of the pictures, very informative about it, going to tell everyone about The Smoke Pit

Good, efficient service. No waiting when we arrived. We knew what to expect with the £42 mixed platter. We weren't disappointed. Only criticism is the top end price of the draught beer. £4.80.
