“ Stopped here for lunch with a friend. I had the Big Piggy Mac burger which was a fantastic mix of burger, frazzles, pork scratching, pulled pork and mac and cheese. My friend loved his Vienna dog too. Service was friendly and helpful and they have this fantastic system of turning a light on when you want something. ”
“ Worth a go, would recommend. Stopped in on a visit to Cambridge. Menu looked good, food tasted better!!! I had ribs, mac 'n' cheese, friends had a sharing platter, plus spicy nachos. Ribs where great, tried parts of the platter smoked sausage was on point. Picked slaw - wow! ”
“ Welcoming customer service and really enjoyable menu options. Well thought out decor and it’s obvious this place is special. One of the best mac&cheese bowls I’ve had which really celebrates it as a comfort food. Pulled pork was top notch and delicious. Might sound funny, but they gave the best ketchup I’ve had in Europe. Why make such a big deal? To me it’s all the details that really demonstrate the care and effort put into this place. Highly recommended! ”
“ Excellent food, meat cooked and presented beautifully. Brilliant atmosphere and welcoming staff. Outstanding service by Claudia. Thank you, will be back! ”
“ Love the food here it is just filled with lots of meat cooked to fall off the bone as well as burgers and wings and all sorts. I love the baby back pork ribs here and often pair them with pulled pork and chilli loaded fries. They have a unique system where you turn on a switch at your table which will light up the number and someone will come over. They have some pints which are nice and sections on the menu of normal cocktails, slushie cocktails and milkshake cocktails. ”

“ Came here today for a bit of a late lunch after mooching around Cambridge for the day. I went for the ribs and wings combo deal with a side of onion rings, the other half went for the burger, side and drink meal deal offer they had on for lunch time. For drinks I had an iced tea and she the other half had a lemonade. We were seated at around half 2, our orders were taken after around 10 minutes of deciding and twisting the button on the wall to say we were ready, and the food came out 10-15 minutes after. The ribs were lovely, tender and coated in a rich sauce. The fries were seasoned properly, hot and crisp with a fluffy inside, the corn on the cob was cooked nicely and well buttered, the slaw was beautiful, and the wings.... THE WINGS were my favourite part of the dish. A beautifully crispy light batter on the outside, tender, juicy and flavoursome chicken on the inside. The onion rings were spot on too! As for the other halves food, I didn't taste the pulled pork burger, but she said it was really good. The tater tots were blooming lovely though! As for the drinks, both the lemonade and iced tea were lovely and nicely chilled. We also had a carafe of tap water for the table. Overall, a great first time experience at this place, and we'll definitely return in the future. Also a big shout out to the staff working today, you were absolutely spot on, especially when dealing with the chap behind us who said his food was dry, (sure it was mate ) but only when the bill came... Just get the attention of the staff when you have the issue, not when you are paying ”
