Reservation is necessary as seating capacity is small. Online reservation is done pretty easily. We got our 6.45 table at 6.14 π¬ Located at d corner of a row of shophouses along Cavan Road, where parking is available right outside or a stone's throw at Jalan Besar Stadium. Order is via QR Code. Tried d 4 meat platter - pork ribs, chicken, pulled pork n beef brisket. Had to leave out pork belly as there's no 5-meat platter π€. We like d pork ribs v much as they r well-marinated n d flesh just slips off d bone. Agree with other reviewers that d beef brisket lacks smokey flavour. Chicken portion is good so it helps to fill us up (2 pax). We didn't leave feeling hungry lah. Pulled pork is juicy. We had poutine for starter and corn bread and potato n egg salad for sides. Poutine is served with sweet potato fries. Like d contrast in taste - sweet n salty. Corn bread is sooo good with its strong corn flavour n "coarse" texture. d honey butter that goes along with it is also good. Am disappointed with d potato n egg salad as I didn't get to eat d egg (egg is coated instead). Water is self-service eventhough they sell sparkling water. Wait staff cld have done a little bit more by 1. telling customers to help ourselves to d water, on top of scan QR Code to browse menu n place order 2. bringing d tab to d table since d gadget for card payment is portable. This will match d price n ambience n complete d full dining experience for us.

This American BBQ restaurant is opened by the same group behind Bukit Timah's Riders Cafe. The interior of this smokehouse is simple, reminding you of an American-style dining hall.

Insider Tips
Get there early as all their meats are available only until they sell out! If you are in a group, try their BBQ trays for sharing as their servings are big and well worth the price. Some of their dishes from their BBQ trays include an Angus Beef Brisket and Smoked Chicken. Their meats are moist and jam packed with flavour.

19 Jun 2023Legit legit bbq. The beef brisket is usually v fatty and hard to be juicy. the one at red eye was lean yet juicy and the flavour of the bark was sublime. exquisite piece of beef and incredibly flavourful. the meat itself was also very well seasoned, it soaked up all the flavour. the pulled pork was great too, not too sweet or salty. it was balanced and had umami, not too oily also. the ribs i loveee, it was not super tender like a baby back rib, it just had enough bite to it to be satisfying but still juicy. flavour of the ribs also on point!!! come here for legit bbq and you wont regret!

1 Jun 2023Portions were small given the price point. I ordered the pulled pork and sausage burger along with sweet potato fries. It was flavorful but the meat wasn't tender enough. Macho nachos was good. Friendly staff and love the music playlists.

18 Jun 202317/06/23 Portion is small for that price. Ribs are tough and dry. Pull pork tastes funny. The soup taste bland, doesnβt really have the clam chowder flavour. But the nachos chips are good with generous amount of sauces and avocados.
