Loved this place. The food was great. the service was good. I sure will be coming back.
Lovely food and plenty of it, good drinks selection including a few local IPAs. Great deal 20 burger and drink on Thursdays.
We were driving south on the M6 looking for a place that would be serving dinner on a rainy Sunday night and found this place. Staff was super accommodating and found us a table (not our usual experience without booking ahead) and as two Americans, we enjoyed reading the menu. We ordered two burgers (Stetson and whatever the veggie one is called, subbed regular smoked cheese) and both were great. Lily was our server and she was super! Parking was easy - In car park just around the corner, quick walk out the back along the canal to the restaurant.
Food was fantastic, loved it all. The ladies that served were very friendly and attentive, brilliant service. Only opportunities are the table was a little sticky in places, and music is slightly loud for the amount of customers in at that time. Also the menu was slightly different and smaller to what was advertised on the website.
New favourite place to eat in Staffordshire. Really nice food, and super friendly staff! Tried the '90 steak night deal ' one night, then went back a week later to try the burgers ' alligators boot' is the one we both had! ( both pictures attached) Would highly recommend!
Went here for the first time, we’ve wanted to go for over a year but things stopped us. So glad we finally went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Lovely atmosphere and great fitting music. We love our american style food so we were really excited to try. They didn’t disappoint at all! You get what you pay for and the portions are more than enough, so much so we had to take some home! The baby back ribs were to die for - they’d already fallen off the bone when it got to us! I also had the “walking dead” cocktail and the lady who brought it out lit the top of it on fire and it just made it that extra bit special. So happy we finally visited and will be going back again for sure! Thank you guys!
Went to Smoke and Rye yesterday for my birthday as I wanted a big ‘nasty’ burger but with a good easy going atmosphere and from all reviews and recommendations I chose smoke and rye. I had mango and habanero chicken wings for starter - extremely spicy, but loved it. I made a mess of my hands but I accepted and the wet wipes provided were useful. As main I had the Stetson on the Roof burger. So easy to eat/cut through. The bone marrow was juicy and delicious. I needed a break half way through but that’s exactly what I needed! Washed it down with 2 Big truck driver cocktails. And as dessert I had the Peanutbutter and Jelly Cheesecake. I love cheesecakes in general but this is my favourite so far, it is dangerous how good is it. I was also offered a peanutbutter shot which was amazing. Loved the service (very friendly and easy going), good prices, good quality of food and did not have to wait too much either. A unique restaurant and experience which is not matched by any other restaurant in Staffordshire/West Midlands area.
The food was absolutely amazing! We had wings, beef ribs and a burger and honestly it was *chefs kiss*. It was also my husband’s birthday and they did a lovely birthday dessert for us. Would highly recommend
