If you are a true continental cuisine lover, you have to try this place.. meat rightly done, not overloaded with spices, served perfectly and a warm staff... love the ambiance, felt like we were in Paris Restaurants.. must visit..
Great food and service. The platter was amazing, and the ribs were delicious. Will definitely visit again!
A must visit for steak lovers! Cool ambience and convenient location. Waiting for the live music bar, Primal, to be opened shortly on the top floor.
Should give a run for money to 5 star fine dining in Bangalore. In fact none exists to match.... Excellent concept, exuberant ambience, friendly Gautam and.... Fantastic food especially the innovative mocktails, starters and..... More, should rock
This place ought to rock. Brilliant concept and will be there for some great food.
Amazing food! The best place in bangalore for meat loversā„ļøš
Just one word Unbelievable..They have done alot of homework and the smokey flavors are damm... Service is excellent... Definitely a place to dine..
Top notch Charcuterie, food and in general, a lovely place to enjoy a meal. Will soon be back for more!
Food was exceptionally good. Loved it. Ambience, the staff and cutlery was just superb. Would love to revisit the place.
I will keep it simple! Food is awesome...great place for meat lovers
I wish I had another hand because I would give it 3 thumbs up! Excellent service, food, and staff! I wish we had an exact clone in the United States, more specifically, Alabama. Thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent there.
Keep up the GREAT work!!!
The best dining place.. Everything is just perfect..
Excellent if you like smoked meat and things like roast bone marrow....
Great place with lovely ambience. An evening well spent.
With a heavy heart, here's bidding farewell to one of the most talked about restaurants in the city. With the news of it shutting down strapped all over instagram, the restaurant was packed with everyone coming down to eat their favourite meal one last time.
We rushed to have one last meal before we finally bid adieu. For starters we ordered char siu pork fillet - which was sous vide pork fillet served with buttered cauliflower puree, radish celery pickle and char siu glaze. It is by far the best pork starter I've had, cut into bite sized pieces, we finished the entire plate in a blink of the eye. (5/5)
For main course we had ordered TSC roast chicken and a beef fillet steak. The roast chicken tasted absolutely delicious with the only complaint being it wasn't as filling and left us wanting for more. (4/5)
The fillet steak (cooked well done) was cooked well, the accompaniments were absolutely delicious and complemented the steak perfectly. (4/5)
Lastly for the dessert I had ordered flan with burnt caramel. The dessert was very average and there was a very strong burnt taste from the caramel for my liking. Maybe all the delicious starters and main course made us hype the dessert so much only to be disappointed. (3/5)
Never the less, we're glad we had the chance to visit this place before it shut down. Here's to hoping the @thesmokeco.blr soon comes up with another food venture.
The ambience and food was a perfect match and I couldn't have had a better experience. Loved each and every dish I tried, especially the Malabar fish and bbq pork ribs.
It feels very ironic to be writing a review of a restaurant on very the day itās shutting down, but hey, thatās life for you.
Itās also ironic that despite TSC having lingered on my wishlist for a very long time, only news of its closing finally got me scrambling for a reservation.
Lastly, and perhaps the most ironic twist of fate, I thoroughly enjoyed almost everything I had at TSC and now Iām grappling with the realization that I can never go back there again.
And now, the review.
I went to TSC on Saturday, their second-last working day, and found (to no oneās surprise) that the place was completely packed. News that TSC, which opened in 2017, was shutting down was plastered all over my Instagram feed and everyone was trying to squeeze one last meal in.
From their cocktail selection, I tried the Kentucky Apple Pie, which tasted exactly what youād hope an alcoholic cinnamony liquid apple pie would taste like.
I also tried the Keffirberry cocktail- a little a too sour for my taste - but it cut through the fat from all the meat we had consumed very effectively.
My cousin had the Salty Julien and Tropical Coconut mocktails. Itās very refreshing to see a restaurant pay as much attention to the quality of its mocktails as it does for its cocktails, and the Salty Julien was a standout.
The best thing we ordered by far and away was the Char Siu sous vide Pork Fillet. Iād never had anything cooked sous vide before, and after tasting the fillet I feel like Iāve been missing out. The pork was cut into small bite sized pieces coated with the char siu sauce that melted in your mouth.
It tasted, at the same time, more different and yet more pork-ier than any other pork dish Iāve tried.
More flavorful, more soft, so very more-ish.
The next item we had was the Naga Beef with Goan bread. This packed a punch but the tender beef sort of got lost in the strong masala. In my opinion, still good but the least exciting thing we ordered.
After that we stuck to pork dishes. We tried the 12-hour pulled pork shoulder, which comes with coleslaw, bread and corn on the cob. They have a variety of sauces to accompany the pork, but we really enjoyed the Memphis BBQ sauce. Another melt-in-the-mouth dish. The shoulder can be tough if it isnāt cooked perfectly, and unlike other places Iāve tried pulled pork, there was no un-subtle chewing to force the meat down my gullet.
The next one we opted for was one of their famed charcuterie boards. On the serverās recommendation, we tried the country ham. It came on a large wooden platter accompanied with pickled cucumbers, mango relish, diced apple, arugula (I think?) and two varieties of sinus-clearing mustard. It was an inspired choice to end the meal because youāre almost at your limit and it sort of forces you to go slower, assembling and enjoying each morsel.
We were originally going for the bone marrow, based off some recommendations online but theyād already finished their lunch stock and I think my heart broke a little.
Desserts were really nothing special. There was a mixup that led to us getting two desserts, the choco peanut butter pie and the churros. The pie was alright, but very heavy on the peanut butter and you grow tired of the taste after a while.
The churros were cooked in slightly stale oil, which was immediately noticeable, but besides that they were okay. I took only umbrage at the chocolate sauce because theyād used way too many chili flakes/seeds to add a kick.
All in all, great place, a great time, a great ambience. Itās sad I canāt come back because itās very rare to find a place in Bangalore that takes cooking good meat well as seriously as TSC does (did, I guess).
Surprisingly I had to be there just one day before they close their doors! And I don't know why it took me so long to be there.
Started with Rum Panna and Kaffirberry.
Then spaetzle crispy potato and parmesan, had to order 12 hours pulled beef, was still greedy, hence ordered roast chicken, and tofu steak was a bit dry but I wouldn't know (because I don't really know how vegetarian food taste like š)
AND for dessert, I had ordered pork and beef keilbasa!!!
Today is the last day, if anyone is missing out! Please visit, before you feel sorry for not visiting smoke co.
I write this review so that I will not forget what I had yesterday!
Management, hope you come back with another smoke co real soon. For a very long time, I have never felt so satisfied after having the first bite! You did it!!!
If you are a lover of smoked ribs, Smokey bbq chicken wings this is the place you gotta hit..! Best food n craft beer is amazing ..! But sadly itās shutting down .. last but not the least one of the best place in Koramangala till date ..!ā„ļø
I canāt believe this place is closing on the 12th of this month. Today was my last time here. I have such beautiful memories and always had a phenomenal dining experience everytime I stepped into the restaurant.From the tiny appetisers served right after you place your order that literally awaken your taste buds this place was a true blue meat heaven . I have indulged extensively in the platter , chicken and pork mains and not forget the creamy potato,spinach and macaroni sides . This season seems to be heavy on the soul having to let go of Tony Stark and Smoke Co.
There are very few restaurants that I get emotional about, the Smoke Co. is one of them. The quality of food is impeccable, their service is efficient and just the sheer effort put in by the team is delivering excellence. Their smoked meats are seriously the best Iāve had in the country and are at par with any youād get outside! Itās a real tragedy that they are shutting down. Testament to the statement that good things donāt last :(
Being the meat lover I am, have been wanting to visit here for a long time now and finally got the chance recently....this place is a beautiful one with an excellent ambience inside....I had their chicken wings and Southern fried chicken and both were remarkably well made....the place is famous for dishes prepared using smoking and curing techniques and for any meatlover it's a must visit place in Bangalore.....the saddest part is the fact that the restaurant will close down after coming 2 weeks.....so I believe if you really love meat prepared in different ways, then this place is a must visit before it closes down....
An awsome lunch with some hungry tummies.
My first and last lunch at Smoke Co. not because I didnāt like it but they are closing for gud. The only ages and smoked meat restaurant for a carnivore in the country is closing their doors for gudš
The dishes were amazing smoked pork ribs well balanced taste perfectly smoked.
12 hr smoked pulled pork perfect balance of ingredients.
And of course the charcuterie platter. Totally amazing stuff, gonna miss this for sureš
Had come to this restaurant for coffee. Had this coffee called cafe bombon. The coffee was yum. And looks awesome.
Had come earlier to this place for its slow cooked meat, which was awesome. I suggest bbq chicken and hush puppies.
One of my new favourites in Bengaluru.. Looking for some good smoked meat, head straight over here! Apart from the speciality smoked food on offer, I love the fact that this place offers the craft beer - Geist.. Very few place currently do offer this beer as of this time... A strict warning when placing an order here is to check with the waiter on the prep time for a dish, as some dishes can take upto 20 mins, based on my experience..
Prices are a bit steep for a regular outing but if you fancy a good meal, just look no further... Service is good and the waiters are knowledgeble to suggest options to suit your taste buds.
Ambience is gorgeous.. Love the complete glass set up and airy feel... Kind off makes you feel like one of those beautiful highway diners on the American routes..
Being a sugar junkie, if there is a highly recommended stand out dish at this place - I suggest you try the Apple Pie.. Baked and the gentle yet powerful touch of cinnamon and nutmeg made me drooling all over the place!!
Higly Recommended!
I absolutely loved my experience here at The Smoke Co.
the ambience is lovely first of all, puts you at ease. The menu is fabulous and I was here only for the meat. Unfortunately I could try only chicken as my friend ate only that, but I canāt wait to come back and try their ribs that I have heard so much about and also the seafood!
We went for a BBQ chicken and Roast chicken. Both were terrific but I loved the roast chicken. It was beautifully cooked and the toast on the side in the BBQ chicken one was perfect.
Mac and cheese was delicious!
I tried their espresso martini which was šÆ and a drink based on bourbon and rosemary is only for those who like it a little strong and bitter!
Desserts I tried the Tres Leches and have to commend them for keeping it light and simple compared to some other spots in the city. And their flourless chocolate cake is good for heavy chocolate lovers but I wouldāve personally liked something like a vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream to break all that chocolate.
The service is good too.
Will definitely come back!
Damn! This place is really really good. There has been a hole in my heart ever since Red Fork closed and The Smoke Co has definitely filled it.
This place is really spot on BBQ. And Iām an American who loves BBQ. Iām just so impressed.
Today I got the Maryland Pit Beef, which I didnāt know had even existed, and it was so flavorful and tender.
Iāll stop writing now cause itās getting me hungry.
Go there.
The Smoke Co. is a restaurant residing in the food heaven that is Koramangala. This place holds the distinction of being awarded best new restaurant in 2018 (Yes, in entire India!) So I was curious to see how their food was. And yes, it didn't disappoint at all!
The ambience is nice and mellow, yet has a certain elegance to it. I really liked the fact that the place was nicely spaced, and that emptiness is refreshing.
The food came decently quick and the staff were very friendly.
For starter, we chose The Smoke Co. Wings and as the person I was with had a love for wings, we hoped it was delicious. And that's what we got! The wings were coated in a thick, rich marinate topped with sesame seeds. It was very tasty and rich. Although, if I have to find a minus point it's that the coating was quite strong that a bit of the flavour of the chicken itself was lost.
Coming to the main course, we tried the Steak (Fillet). The moment it hit the table, I could see it was a winner! Right from the juicy hunk of steak to the lovely wine-reduction sauce to the yummy parmesan-infused mashed potatoes and beans, it was a mouth-watering dish! The meat wasn't huge in any way, but all in all it was a filling meal. They definitely chose quality over quantity here. And they nailed it! One of the best steaks I've tried so far.
Accompanying the food were the drinks. We had the classic ice tea (peach) which was good. But I felt that the quantity could have been increased.
Only the very daring would try their unique range of mocktails with bizzare combos! But I went for the Peanut Butter and Peach. It had a very interesting flavour but for me personally it didn't make for a punchy drink. The Tropical Coconut reminded me of the classic PiƱa Colada. But different. That's what was nice about it.
The only downside to this awesome place is the prices. They could have lowered them a bit, even though the food was outstanding. I must say the veg and non veg lunch special prices were very compelling!
I must give special mention to our waiter, Basant, for giving us a great service.
We didn't end up ordering dessert, but needless to say, with what we have experienced, we'll definitely be back again soon to try more! (Smoke Co. Burger and the Southern Fried Chicken)

Great place for meat lovers, i havenāt found another place which nails honey soy chicken as good as they do, Baba Ghanoush was pretty good, Apple pie and Flan with burnt caramel is a must try for dessert.
Love the ambience, courteous staff, subtle place. Its got everything going right, try this if you havenāt :)
#late post. Went here alone to enjoy some exquisite smoked meat for lunch. Anyone would surely be carried away by the ambiance. Humble staff with excellent service. For appetizer went with the smoked chicken wings in char siu sauce. While I loved the smoky flavor, the wings were too much skinny and it vanished in some corner of my stomach after a few mins. Didn't find them fulfilling at all. So went for a vegan main dish and chose the safest one with which one could never go wrong - the avocado tacos. For dessert opted for the flourless chocolate cake which was good.Ā
I found the price to be a tad high but this is a nice place with some really well curated menus and you can definitely enjoy some classy time here.
I went in for dinner with a friend. The ambiance is pretty laid back , music non intrusive and the wait staff is informed about the menu. We opted for Kitfo, The smoked marrow ,charcuterie platter with jamon, bersoala and soppresetta . For mains we had the sausage platter and steak. For an indian eatery doing what they are doing with local produce , the products served were pretty stellar . 2 ppl may not be able to do justice to the food - need to go in a bigger group just to be able to try out more dishes from the menu .
For dessert we had the juniper berry ice cream - It smells like pine but tastes creamy and smooth. Its a very unusual flavor - the candied bacon did nothing to the dish and was not really necessary.
oh the barley bean salad we ordered was also pretty nice. While it may look like a meat lovers paradise - which it is, it also has a decent spread of vegetarian dishes for folks to try out.
The place is nicely decorated. They have their own wine cellar. The people there were really courteous and polite.
I felt the place was a bit overpriced considering the quantity of the servings.
I was a bit disappointed with the cheese platter. It just had 2 pieces of apples and 2 pieces of bun. I would have expected a bit more fruits and sides to complement the cheese flavours. They do recommend the wines which will go with your palate beautifully.
For the main course we ordered 15 hours smoked pulled pork in bbq sauce which was heavenly and not like anything I have had before.
This is the first time someone is trying a restaurant based on south American style food and they have done it beautifully.
The place has good ambience, and amazing food, the service was a little slow, but not too slow that you'll mind, felt the portion size were a tad bit less, for two, hence the 4 stars, rest everything is amazing
This place in bengaluru is a meat lover's paradise. Things to try here are the meat platter and smoked bone marrow (a dish you won't find at many places). I specially loved the bone marrow. The ambience was very calm on a weekday. They also have a wide options of alcoholic beverages. A drink with such a heart warming meal - what more can one ask for
Another favourite of mine in Bangalore !! Gourmet paradise at a reasonable price ! Desserts aren't great but the well curated ensemble of non-vegetarian dishes more than make up for it. š· Attached

The Smoke Co. at Koramangala tends to stand out right off the bat, with its well thought-out menu and relaxing ambiance amongst its more fast-food centric counterparts in the neighbourhood. While the Smoke Co. offers some decent southern USA food, its USP tbh, is the quality cuts of meat one may be served with here, making it a meat-lovers' paradise.
We tried the charcuterie board with smoked ham, soppressata, wine cured bresaola and salt cured seer fish, with our favourites being the ham and bresaola that went really well with the fruit compote served with the platter. We went onto order the Wood fire grilled fillet, the Platter with spicy beef frankfurter, burnt ends and pulled pork, the spicy beef frankfurter, the Smoked Naga beef and the pan seared Barramundi. The thing that stood out was the quality of the beef served and was well appreciated around our table. The Barramundi on the other hand, was overcooked and isn't something we'd recommend trying.
For dessert (the thing that first drew our attention to Smoke Co.), we tried the Caramelized Onion Ice Cream with a salted caramel drizzle and shards of brandy snap. We were pleasantly surprised by how well the rich, wholesome flavour of caramelized onions complemented an equally luxurious salted caramel. While we immensely enjoyed the dessert, we couldn't eat more than a few spoonfuls each as it can get too rich, so we recommend 3-4 people sharing one serving of this.
We decided to celebrate our weekend by going out for dinner and the place had to be special. We made our reservations online via Zomato. I decided to check on the reviews on Zomato before reaching there and stayed with the booking and did not regret it.
We enjoyed the experience right from the gate, to the entrance and at the restaurant. We were promptly greeted and seated at a lovely table. Starters were served and it was really nice.
We enjoyed the food till the last bite and the presentation was really good.
Service was excellent & Kudos to entire team & management for such a fantastic experience.

Ooh I love this place only for it's meat. Even though they offer a lotta other dishes too, i will recommend this place only for their meat to all meat lovers. My personal favorites are smoked Bone Marrow & Barbecue Pork Ribs. Mmm.. Those ribs though !! One can never get enough. Among other things we ordered were Classic Caesar Salad, Pulled Pork Burger & for dessert Baked Caramel Custard. All of them were absolutely delicious. A double thumbs up to this place. Hope to return soon.
Chic Ambience will make you to visit this place.I ordered 12 hours smoked and pulled beef with BBQ sauce which was absolutely spot on and melts in your mouth.Then I ordered Beef fillet with shittake and red wine reduction which was cooked beautifully medium rare and tasted good.The big hit for me was the smoked & pulled beef for which i can visit this place many times.
Clap clap for creating such a beautiful place and such a beautiful concept. The smoke flavour in the meat is just fab!! Apparently smoked through mango to get these flavours out...

Dialled in and booked a table for NYE's lunch and tried their Christmas menu. Very well crafted and balanced menu. Tried the quails for starters and 12 hr shoulders for mains alongwith their cheese cake. The staff's attention is courteous and they are helpful in selecting your choice.
This is a place with a moody dark-wood, high ceiling themed decor. The food is excellent. I had a smoked ham with honey mustard sauce and flan with burnt caramel - and both were excellent. The presentation, which most places treat as barely important, was top-notch. The dishes on the menu aren't run-of-the-mill but rather curated.
This place was on my list of places to eat at even before it had opened, thanks to some friends who tried their food in the weeks leading up to the opening. We finally made it here last evening up celebrate our much belated anniversary.
I loved the place, and I loved the food. The bone marrow was good, but a little too decadent for my liking. Next we ordered the fennel and pepper sausages - bloody brilliant! The husband said these were the best sausages he's ever eaten! We then ordered the pulled pork, and I'm actually looking forward to eating that for breakfast now because we couldn't finish it! But so so good. Finally we ordered the churros which were good but we couldn't help but compare it to Chocolateria San Gines in Madrid! Unfair comparison I know.
My only regret is not having a stomach big enough to have eaten more. Really wanted to try the quail dish on their Christmas menu but guess I'll have to wait until next Christmas!
One suggestion - would be great if the waiters could suggest some palate relieving courses in between all of this food. All the food we ate was very yummy but also very rich and meaty and fatty so my mouth was literally craving something fresh by the end of it. Maybe serve tiny portions of greens/salads along with the meat? Just a thought.
Definitely coming back the next time I'm in Bangalore!
Been craving a big ole fashioned American burger for a while now and popped into smoke co last weekend in search of it.
Letās just say that the chef does justice to the art of burger making . Yum and delish !
The icing on the cake was the Christmas menu they had up ! I obviously wanted to have the burger as a main so I went back to the Christmas menu for everything else ..
Things we loved ...
1) Mulled wine
2) Christmas pudding
3) all the appetisers
This place makes me just so happy !! I canāt wait to go back
Well-designed interiors and a sophisticated menu makes this place a special treat. Had shrimp and grits after a long time here -- the presentation was beautiful even if the shrimp could have been deshelled. The cocktails are very nice and I look forward to trying more of their food!
Went with my mom and husband after much planning as it is heavy on the pockets. My husband and I are meat eaters but my ma never ate pork....here looking at our facial expressions even she couldn't resist and had to break it!! She had the pork ribs!! It was the best! Malabar fish in starters was good, chicken roast was amazing, fish - presentation was amazing but the taste gave away, wasn't worth the money. WINE was amazing!!! Service, staff behavior was friendly and yet very professional. The waiters knew their stuff! Not seen very often. Good experience!

Went here for my husband's birthday dinner. This place serves really flavourful dishes. The service is good and can boast a soothing ambience.Good place for a peaceful diner.
Finally after a year we went for pre Christmas dinner !! & it was our first visit & it was worth !!! Go there & experience the fine dining š in my experience we just loved the food ! Staffs were courteous too ! Lovely ambience
I was really excited to try food at this so called legendary restaurant. The charcuterie platter was marvelous, nothing like i had ever tasted before. But after that , the experience really went downhill. The beef was served cold as ice, even the slaw was unsatisfactory. The pork char siu was not what i expected even if the flavour was spot on. Both meats were extremely tender and beautifully cooked but were served VERY COLD. It's good to avoid desserts at this place. Both the cheese cake and Apple pie were pitiful.i didn't expect such a dinner for such an exorbitant price! Dreams shattered...
I'll keep it as simple as I can. Heck I'll make it a one liner.
Do you love meat? If yes, then there isn't a better restaurant than this in the whole of Bangalore *Period*
This was my 3rd visit to The Smoke Co. For a meat lover, it's nirvana. Absolutely fantastic selection of meats and sides. I love their charcuterie as well. Only disappointing thing is that they took off the Baked Camambert from the menu. I wish it got back onto the menu. Lovely food, reasonably good service and remember, an amazing selection of meats. I will surely be back for more.

It has been one year since The Smoke Company came into existence with a concept that was not so familiar to most of bangaloreans. Conceptualised byĀ Gautam Krishnankutty, and Padmakumar , the aim has been to serve choicest of smoked meat recipes , european styleĀ Charcuterie and latin american barbecue, in a relaxed fine dining place. I still remember that theyĀ started with a small custom made double barrel smoker but soon they graduated to theĀ #1 BBQ stick burner smoker cookers,Ā Lang BBQ Smokers. Known for theĀ durable wood burning smoker cookers and charcoal grills essentials, they make ideal choice here , feels Chef Altaf Patel.
If you love Charcuterie (smoked or cured meat) style preparations, then The Smoke Co at Koramangala 6th Block is the right place for you to indulge. They have come up with a fabulous new menu on the completion of 1 year and my words wonāt do any justice on what I have experienced there recently. The quality of the products they use is just amazing. The Lang BBQ Smoker used at the restaurant is imported from the USA. This plays a major role in creating some brilliant smoked, grilled or barbecued dishes. As smoked flavor is an integral part of this process, even the woods they use for it is carefully chosen at The Smoke Co. We always use the word āfoodgasmā and to experience a carnivorous foodgasm one must definitely visit The Smoke Co.
The classy modern ambiance will set the perfect mood for a pleasant dining experience. The lively atmosphere and their open kitchen will help you know whatās happening around. The staffs are very polite and helpful. The Executive Chef Altaf Patel is one of the most humble Chefs I know who can cook up a storm. He is extremely talented when it comes to bringing the extraordinary flavors together. The Smoke Co is from the same owners of one of the most popular burger joints in namma ooru ā CafĆ© Thulp.
I love the Charcuterie platter which had salted and cured beef, smoked Mackerel with Char siu glaze, cured and aged jamĆ³n (6-9 months old dry-cured ham), mortadella with olives and Soppressata Pork Salami. I canāt tell which one was the best. Everything had so unique flavors and I absolutely loved it.
If you love your share of pork and beef, then must try two of their luscious dishes ā the wood-fire finished Char Siu pork fillet (served with buttered cauliflower puree, pickled baby radish, and char siu glaze) and the dark beer braised Corned beef served with creamed potato, roasted leeks, and sourdough toast.
There are lots of new additions for the vegetarian souls as well. Must try their āCheddar and Zucchini cakes served with tartar and smoked tomato chili sauceā, and āBarley, Bean and Corn Salad with Mangalore Jaggery and Lime vinaigrette, arugula, pomegranate, and toasted pumpkin seedsā for the perfect balance of refreshing flavors.
The Smoke platter is surely one of my favorites which comes with sausages in different flavors like āItalian fennel and pepperā, chicken and coriander, Beef chili & Cheese, pork apple and sage, Chicken kielbasa, and served with grilled corn, in-house baked bread, and sauerkraut. If you donāt believe in āstoring for winter conceptā then the portion size will be good enough for a small group.
We also tried other interesting dishes like -
Schnitzel - Panko crusted butterflied and fried Pork fillet served with brown butter & sage spaetzle and mustard cream sauce.
Smoked Prawns ā Brined and smoked Prawns with the shell on, served with mustard and chili cocktail sauce. This was Smoke Coās version of prawn cocktail though I felt Prawns could have been a bit more flavorful and when you taste the entire combo, you will not miss any flavors much.
I am not a Tuna person, but still liked their āTuna poke bowlā with fresh Maguro Tuna, sticky rice, grilled pineapple, avocado, and mesclun. My friend ordered the tuna bowl and she literally forced me to try it and I am happy that I tasted it.
When it comes to food my third love is chicken after beef and seafood, and The Smoke Coās version of āSoy Honey Chickenā was really good.
We had Churros dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with Chocolate and Chipotle dip for desserts and this is easily the best Churros and dip you can get in Bangalore.
Overall I had a great time and I would never get bored of having food at The Smoke Co. The food served here is a treat to all five senses.
I have been meaning to visit this restaurant for a long time now and finally got the opportunity to do so when we had some outstation guests. The restaurant by itself looks very modern, with high ceilings and minimalistic furniture.Ā
> Smoke Platter - SmallĀ
>Ā Hot Smoked Baba Ganoush
> Gambas Pil PilĀ
>Ā Mash on the SideĀ
>Ā Smoked Bone Marrow
> Rib Eye Steak
> Seafood Jambalaya & Rice
> Country Apple Pie
>Ā Peanut butter and Chocolate Pie
Everything we had was fantastic. Each dish came with its own unique flavors and textures. The smoked meats were fantastic. Special mention to the Gambas( Prawns) Pil Pil - they were out of this world ! The service here was great too, an example of which is , one of us ordered the Rib Eye steak and assumed he would like it rare. Wrong assumption ! The staff were nice enough to take it back and cook it to a medium well done.
We will definitely be back for more-Ā there are so much more on the menu that i am curious and excited to try.
Amazing place with good food and lovely ambience...
Every dish was cooked the right amount and eaten with love.. š„°
The only feedback would be to improve on the service, the guys seemed too eager to clear the plates and kept a very close eye on the table making it little uncomfortable.
Otherwise a very recommended place for the food..
Great food and great service. The place is unique and the ambience is great. The entire experience from the moment you stepped into restaurant was great
Not upto the mark overall. The Jamon was however an exception. It was amazing and the only shining knight among the peasantly food. The charsiu pork fillet was super good to eat as well. Everything else was very ordinary. The apple pie, which I tried for the first time wasn't what I had expected. Finally the cheese cake was far from delightful. I rarely have leftovers and this time I did.
The Belgian beer is a must try for folks who like wheat beer.
Great food, great service. The cold cut pork items was to die for, and so was the soup. And the apple pie is just amazing. Has some great geist as well.
The Smoke Co. is a very classy and fancy restaurant. Like every classy restaurants, the food is pretty good, drinks are thirst quenching and they definitely have pretty good cocktails. The variations in their menu catering the Indian market is pretty creative. A visit to this place will cost you a total satisfaction to your taste buds.
What I liked about this place is variety of food though i just had coffee. But it's so peaceful ambience and staff is so courteous. Soon gonna come to have some great food. Thanks a lot. Today was a stop gap arrangement but soon gonna come for some great food.
Moved to Bangalore recently and found The smoke Co while looking for Thulp which was a fav with Moo burger. Up front the Geist IPA is yummy, didn't care for the other beers. The wine selection while pleasant, over priced for my taste.
The food, the meats are delicious. It's a unique spread in Bangalore from smoked to cold cuts and it's very well done. The music is awesome! Pleasantly buzzing and never too loud.
I totally loved my experience here. I have been watching TLC channel and been wanting to eat pulled beef and this is the place for that. Must try the fat toast with butter that they provide. Lip Smacking!
The Smoke Co. is undoubtedly one of the the best eateries in Bangalore, hands down! It serves delicious food, predominantly non-veg. The service is really good, the attendants are well versed with the menu. The ambience is pristine and fresh. Will definitely visit again and recommend others too.
Stop wasting time reading reviews and go to this restaurant right now. Just brilliant food and experience. Meat like you would never taste anywhere else in India.
The food was phenomenal, meat was done to perfection. However, the tenderloin steak was below expectations. After having tasted the smoked meat platter and the prawns, we were eagerly waiting for the steak, since it was clear these guys knew how to cook their meat.
I ordered medium rare as suggested on the menu, but had to get it sent back and eat it well done since the meat was very chewy. I guess India still doesnāt have Kobe or Wagyu grade meat yet.
The Apple pie was alright, apples could have had some more bite to them and some cinnamon would have worked magic. The chocolate and peanut butter slice was great, decadent chocolate, nice pastry and beautiful balanced peanut butter pairing.
A meat lovers paradise. Situated on the Koramangala Club Road this upscale restaurant with high ceilings, craft beer and brilliantly prepared meat dishes is a reminder of a couple of great Boston restaurants.
Iām knocking off a star for the desserts. I had the peach cobbler which was a bit of a disappointment.
Gorgeous interiors, great service and delicious food.Ā
Starts with complimentary amuse bouche
1. Charcuterie and Cheese platter (a must try and do try danish blue if you like blue cheese). Also, the both mustard sauce served was too good.
2. Main Course:Ā
Grilled Beef Tendorloin (Medium rare), one of the best steak i had in bangalore
Smoke Co. Roast Chicken, delicious
Southern Fried chicken...finger licking delicious
3. Dessert:
Flan with Burnt caramel
Flourless Chocolate cake (again must try for chocolate lovers)
For Drinks, tried Long Island Iced team (was decent)
Mocktail: Lemongrass lemonade: this was the only down side in the visit. The lemongrass taste was too strong and was cutting the peach and chilli taste.
Overall must visit for all meat and cheese lovers...
Absolutely amazing experience.
The first thing that struck me was the decor. It was beautiful and so was the ambience.
The cocktails were delicious and really set up the stage for the main course.
We had ordered a grilled beef tenderloin and the meat platter. The beef was perfectly cooked to my preference (medium rare) and the pork and beef was simply delicious. After our dinner, we were given a great tour of the kitchen and the wine cellar.
Ā Would definitely recommend this for the overall experience plus the great food
Below is what we had and the experience
1. Smoke platter where four items we can pick from the options provided.
I ordered
-12 hour Smoked pulled pork with Carolina style mustard hot sauce which was very delicious
- 12 hour smoked pulled pork with mango chilli bbq sauce which was also very delicious
Both the dishes were juicy, smokey and flavourful
- Hot smoked bbq Chicken with fermented chilli sauce which was different and very tasty
- Louisiana pork andouille the smoke co. sausages. This was superb. Full of flavours and very soft. This was my favourite in the platter.
Friends platter
- Hot smoked bbq Chicken with Memphis style bbq sauce which was good. Not bad.
- Hot smoked bbq Chicken in Ayam taliwang curry sauce was very tasty. Perfect mix of spices. Flavourful.
- Pulled raan of lamb with rogan josh gravy was very delicious
- lamb merguez the smoke co. sausage was okay in taste.
2. We ordered Gambas Pil Pil where word fire prawns was served with gravy of butter mixed with jalapeƱos, garlic , herbs but it was not at all tasty. We personally didn't like the dish.
3. Desert as always the best
-Flourless Chocolate cake -Dark chocolate cake top with milk chocolate mousse and chocolate soil. This was damn tasty. I personally not very fond of chocolate items but this was delicious
They also served a complimentary starter name not sure it was like nachos in some flavoured sauce. Was good.
Overall the experience was very good. Food taste and ambience is awesome š.. Little bit expensive but worth giving it a try š
One of the finest stake houses i have ever been to. We took a meat platter and draught beer. The food is amazing and the decor is top notch. The price is little high though but its worth it. They have a good collection of wines as well and the best part is the cellar can be accessed by any guests, so you can choose you wine yourself. Overall they have been an amazing host and served very good food. A must visit for all meat lovers.
A fantastic culinary experience!!! Great ambience, well lit and airy but more important was the food. No doubt meat lovers will thoroughly enjoy the choices available although there is a decent selection for vegetarians too. Had the excellent cheese platter, the Smoke co. Platter with pulled pork, pit beef, BBQ chicken....Also the smoked chicken wings is a must try!!! Highly recommend the Smoke Co. beef burger!! Amazing lunch and can't wait to come back!!!

Been waiting to try this place from a very long time. It was definitely worth all the hype, as from the ambiance to the kind of food served, it is unique and not something we would find in many restaurants in Bangalore. Totally loved the whole European restaurant kinda look and vibe of the place. Must try the Charcuterie and cheese platter, it was delicious. Their mains with a one sides is more than enough for two people! Next comes, the house cocktails, very refreshing and new. We tried the Mysore Pak cocktail (sounds weird, but do give it a try) and the Mac jagger was amazing as well, as it had a very gingery flavor! And, last but not the least, the dessert - Flan with orange Brandy and honey coombe. Was heavenly! So overall though it's quite heavy on the pockets, it's definitely worth a try! Loved the experience!
Been here for my B'Day. Am glad i came. Super awesome.! loved the interior and the food is just too good....Will definitely come here again, but for lunch this time. :) Cheese cake was mama miya......yum.!
Finally stepped into this amazing place... The Smoke Co..... Truly a meatlover's paradise... We started with a complimentary amuse bouche... Cumin tomatoes with feta and cracker... Which whetted our appetite for what was to come... This was followed by my all time favorite tapas.... Gambas Pil Pil.... Perfectly wood fired cooked Prawns in butter and white wine with garlic, baby onions and Smoked red jalapenos... to give it an out of the world flavours... Next was the large Platter of their Smoked meat... With four choices... We picked succulent pulled pork in Carolina style mustard hot sauce.... And Hot Smoked BBQ chicken with a spicy ayam taliwang curry sauce... One of the most juiciest chickens I have had bar none.... Next was some melt in your mouth Maryland pit beef.... Beautifully cooked fillet of beef... Then my favorite of the Platter... Louisiana Pork Andouille Sausages.... My what amazing sausages... Amazing flavours of the meat and a casing the die for each bite was a burst of flavours... For sides picked some sinfully chessey Mac n Cheese and ultra creamy spinach... N when I saw buttermilk biscuit had to order one.... Super flaky, buttery it was a perfect bite all the way... Libation was provided by Sangria, Mai-tai n Anejo Highball.... All three were mixed well and great accompaniment to the amazing food.... This was one amazing meal which I was glad to share with my friends who love food like I do... Three Foodie Musketeers outing!!!
A meat lover's must visit!! The first thing that I tried in the menu was the platter; if it's your first time do try it. All the meat served in the platter tasted amazing and they were well cooked; the shoulder of pork and the pork sausage were the best among the platter. I would have appreciated a beef steak as an option in the platter. The ambiance is beautiful and perfect for a place in which you intend to gorge yourself. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. A unique restaurant in Bangalore indeed.
Food: 4/5
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Courteous And Polite waitron alongwith excellent food and ambience was the right combination for a good evening . The pulled Pork and beef platter was finger licking good!
Now weāre talking!!! The ambience is aesthetically and very tastefully done... makes you go wow as you step into the place... š A meat lovers haven- with a variety of delicious sausages and a delightful platter..
We tried the smoked platter- the pulled pork shoulder with bbq sauce, lamb leg and chicken with fermented chilli sauce were great!!
Must try the bbq chicken wings- finger lickinā good...
offer their own in-house beer off the tap.. we got the wheat!!
Friendly & professional staff..
the dessert menu looked tempting too- really wish we had a bigger appetite to try those out as well..
Definitely gotta go back again for that!!
For the vegetarians; you may want to check the menu again.. the meat dishes were so tempting didnāt quite take a look at the veggie options!!
I've eaten here quite a few times, with each instance, sampling something different from their incredibly well thought out menu. I can't say that i've been disappointed by anything i've tried so far- from the chacuterie and smoke platters to their numerous sides, burgers and sandwiches. You can get a sense of the passion and attention to detail these guys put into everything they do. They also have an extensive wine list and a great selection of craft beers courtesy of Geist.
If you are a meat lover, this should definitely be in your list of 'go-to' places.I had ordered a meat platter, each and every meat, was cooked to perfection. My personal favourite was the pork sausage. Ambience was nice and dense.
The ambiance is excellent and best place for couples and family and party with friends itās worth every penny and delicious food and service is very nice!!
The Smoke Co. Is one of its kind, a heaven for a meat lover.. They do fantastic grilled meats, so juicy & tender that just fall off the bone. This comes from a famous American concept of preparing meats, and they have done such Justice to it..
It's a beautiful restaurant, gorgeous interiors, good service and the staff is well informed to help you make a decision about what to order.
They have some great beers on tap and a bunch of yummy cocktails as well. I fell in love with the place.
Brilliant and authentic place for smoked meat in the country. You need to be to know the difference. Hearing about this place we drove all the way from Chennai. It was definitely worth it. The pork ribs were melting and we couldnāt even pick it with a fork without breaking it. The pieces fell off the bone. The flavours were perfect. We also had pulled meat platter which was also brilliant. The staff were courteous and they also took us on a tour of the place. They showed us their imported smoker and how it worked. Itās a must visit place for any smoke lover.
Thank you for an amazing meal! The best pork ribs and smoked beef I've ever had. The ambiance was serene and of course, some good old rock music for the win!
Seeing this majestic place for quite sometime.
Finally decided to drop in and explore it.
The drinks were very nice.
Smoked red jalapenos with cheese dip
Smoked Co. tofu with shitake mushroom sauce
Grilled Tenderloin beef
Smoke Co. Roast chicken
Flourless Chocolate Cake
Food - Extremely delicious.
Service - Very Good
Options - Good
Finally the best pork ribs I ever had. Just can't get over. Just melts down & mouthwatering. Soy chicken roast was yum too. Would definitely want to visit again to slurp pork ribs. Friendly staff .worth the wait.
Visited this place forĀ friendship's day brunch. I found the place to Very fancy and way calmer compared to the other places on kormangala street.Somehow I found the menu to be limited for vegetarian people. The manager and staff were courteous. We ordered on the recommendations of the table manager and the food definitely was delicious. However I could have enjoyed a bit more variety.
It's was a good and calm afternoon at smoke & Co.
Best restaurant in Bangalore .
The flourless chocolate cake is to die for !! For all carnivores out there this place is a must visit before you die .
A really nice place with good ambience. Good food too though did not find many options of choice being a vegetarian but whatever I tried was good.

Visited here for my friends birthday. Very fancy and calm ambience amidst kormangala street.
We ordered few mocktail suggested by the manager of this place. Then we ordered nachos and guacamole was very tasty, and some beef crispy. Then we ordered some main course, in which we ordered non veg platter which was very filling and Me being veg ordered the classic 'Mac and Cheese " which was only for 200/- and very filling. Really the better Mac and cheese I've ever had and also baked beans rice was good and only for 100/-. We ended the saga on a sweet note and we ordered spice churros. It's was a great evening at smoke & Co.

Recommending others for sure!
Been there first time. It was a good experience. Even though the food is costly you will not regret spending it as food is awesome i specially liked the the dessert a lot i had Flan with Burnt Caramel it was totally awesome.
We went there for the food as weāre meat lovers and it is a meat loverās paradise. The portions were generous and all the meat were cooked to perfection. I went for the meat and i was not disappointed.
The New York cheese cake was the creamiest I have tasted. The plum compot complements really well. Perfect dessert after a heavy meal.
And lastly the ambiance and the service: I am a big fan of the ambience. Perfect mellow lighting, comfortable seating arrangements and high ceilings.
The service was impeccable. We didnāt have to wait long for the order to arrive. And our server was very friendly and nice.
So overall a very nice place. Would definitely come back again.
4.5 stars actually.
Let me start of by describing the place. The ambience is classy and elegant, very spacious which makes it less claustrophobic and can engage into a nice conversation with your dinner partner without disturbance.
Before I get to the food, I want to compliment the owners for their choice of crockery and cutlery. The plates and platters were absolutely beautiful.
We ordered for a meat platter where we chose the Maryland Pit steak, pulled beef in BBQ sauce, smoked chicken and pulled lamb.
The Maryland pit beef was cooked to absolute perfection and the lamb was extremely succulent. It was served with a coleslaw which was fresh!
I also tried the Barramundi. The barramundi was super tender, with crispy skin. Hence, perfectly cooked. It was accompanied with a baked potato, smoked carrot purƩe and a honey emulsion. These complimented the fish brilliantly.
Would love to try the other things on the menu, the baked Camembert sounded particularly interesting.
My only complaint was that the food took very long to serve, even though the restaurant wasnāt full. Thatās one aspect that has to be worked on.
Overall, a fantastic experience!
The Smoke co is a pretty unique place that serves true gourmet food. Light on spices that also has a distinct flavour, this place is not for every palate. Its more of an acquired taste given how they food is cooked. Tried a variety of dishes like pulled pork, sausages which were very good, chicken wings that was nice, amongst others. Their beer is quiet refreshing too and also nicely made hot toddy. Worth a visit if you ready to explore a slightly different cuisine

Con - A tad bit expensive - but once in a while when you don't mind splurging for quality non-veg this is a must must try :)
The first thing that you will notice when you enter the place is the ambience and I must say - it's really good! It's spread across three floors and also has a tiny space for outdoor seating. The staff is really courteas and they advised us what to order. We ordered few cocktails and they were really nice. The food was just excellent, specially the charcuterie and cheese platter which was absoulety brilliant! I would totally recommend this place to everyone and I am definitely visiting it soon :)
The Smoke Co. is the best thing that's happened to Bangalore in the recent times, they serve some lip smacking slow cooked meat and truly heavenly.
The ambience is very posh and sophisticated, with high roof and tall glass walls, their ambient lighting just gives the perfect American dining experience. The staff are very well trained and recommend some amazing dishes to cherish.
We started with the appetisers,
ā¢Char Sir Hot Smoked Chicken Wings: The chicken wing pieces were bigger in size than the typical wings that we get elsewhere, it was marinated with "Char Siu" and "The Smoke Co." fermented chilli Sauce, the duo combination was just perfect and tasted extremely well, it comes in 4 pieces, the portion size may look small, but quite good.
ā¢Gambas Pil Pil: Wood-fire prawns in terracotta with smoked red jalapeƱo, baby onions, garlic, butter and Sauvignon blanc served with Ciabatta, the dish looks fabulous, their is a way to eat it. First cut the Ciabatta bread, dip it in the liquid and have a bite of the prawn. This dish is worth the travel from any corner of the city, this is a must have and highly highly recommended.
For Main Course,
ā¢The Smoke Co BBQ Chicken: I would recommend have the breast piece, along with Fermented Chilli Sauce, it's very spicy and addictive, once you start having it's hard to stop. The chicken was juicy and tender, well seasoned and cooked to perfection.
Overall, this place is a must visit, they have some exotic meat range to choose from, kudos to the restaurant and management.

A must visit for every meat lover. The owner and chef are extremely passionate and you can see that being translated into the food. It's got a green house like feel with great day light equally amazing after sunset. Don't miss out on their sausages and special sauces and rubs.
Lovely place! The food was just awesome! It was smoky and delicious and the meat was well clocked. They have managed to create an ambience inside of a spacious hall with the limited space in the crowded Koramangala neighborhood. Amazing service. Very friendly wait staff made sure we were well looked after. My colleague tells me they have an impressive wine cellar and other drinks. It's a bit upmarket in terms of cost, but food is worth it. Try the beef Burnt Ends šš
Delicious barbecue with some dishes having an Indian twist. The barbecue is traditional southern United States of America style. Restaurant is a bit expensive but it's worth the price and the portions are pretty large. The kielbasa sausage and the pulled pork and beef is really delicious and juicy.
The place is quite new, opened a couple of months ago. It's a meat eaters' paradise so vegetarians beware although there are a couple of veg dishes too! š
The first round was food and drinks was just wow! Except for the quantity and the price! But the second round onwards everything went downhill.
The cocktail seemed milder, the bone marrow dish was a massive disappointment and the main course platter was a bit of a hit and miss.
Overall for the price or charges, it could have been way better.
Well designed and executed menu. Food is phenomenal and the cocktails are on point. Definitely a splurge, a place I'd reserve a table at for special occasions. We got a couple of starters, cocktails and main course. The chef knows how to please and wow the diner! The only thing that was a miss for me was dessert, at 350 a pop the tree leches cake was too sweet! The cake supposed to be a celebration of milk in three forms namely milk, evaporated milk and condesnsed milk and the glorious natural sweetness milk brings, however what we got taste was doused in a sugar syrup instead of restrained mellow sweetness.
Fabulous place, they cure their meats in house. The quality is great. The kind of dishes are very different and well made. Well priced too!
This restuarant has a wooden interior with a view of little green outside and a mini wine cellar. The food is amazing! I normally don't recommend sea-food at a landlocked city like Bangalore, but it should not be missed at this place. The food tastes like heaven and is authentic to it's description in the menu. The servers are polite and do not miss a beat. Note: the restaurant prepares their sauces, gravies, base etc from scratch and in-house.
Shame this place is closing down!
Absolutely loved the restaurant. Brilliant ambience and interiors. The food was perfectly marinated and cooked to utter deliciousness without a doubt. Their cured meats, sausages, steaks and seafood did not disappoint, but the restaurant closing down sure does!
Absolutely unmissable place for meatlovers, with all kinds of meats available in all sorts of treatments. Enough to drive you crazy.
The Smoke Platter is strongly recommended which has portions of four different kinds of meats/sausages etc. If you order two of the platters, it pretty much covers all the kinds of meats possible. They have a smoked bone marrow that has an unusual taste. The desserts are strongly recommended too. We didn't try the super-imaginative cocktails!
Since they are new and already quite crowded, service takes a bit of time but the food absolutely makes up for it!
Amazing place. A must visit for those who like smoked meats and cheeses.
Has the charcuterie platter with chorizo, jamon, tuna and a beef sausage. Each better than the other. The Mango jam they serve it with is to die for and the mustard packs a mean punch.
For mains had the pan seared Barramundi on a bed of potato and a carrot sauce. Truly amazing and the fish was fresh, firm and cooked just right.
Service was impeccable. And the ambience is fantastic.
All in all a must visit, many times over
I went in for dinner with a friend. The ambiance is pretty laid back , music non intrusive and the wait staff is informed about the menu. We opted for Kitfo, The smoked marrow ,charcuterie platter with jamon, bersoala and soppresetta . For mains we had the sausage platter and steak. For an indian eatery doing what they are doing with local produce , the products served were pretty stellar . 2 ppl may not be able to do justice to the food - need to go in a bigger group just to be able to try out more dishes from the menu .
For dessert we had the juniper berry ice cream - It smells like pine but tastes creamy and smooth. Its a very unusual flavor - the candied bacon did nothing to the dish and was not really necessary.
oh the barley bean salad we ordered was also pretty nice. While it may look like a meat lovers paradise - which it is, it also has a decent spread of vegetarian dishes for folks to try out.
The one stop for all your meat cravings. Simply delicious. The slow cooked meat is probably the best around bangalore. Had a wonderful experience. To top it all off, the staff are the quiet mannerly and make sure you've had a good time
This place is such a great find for meat lovers!!! Simply put, it's truly the best place for smoked meats and stuff. Firstly the ambience is so good, very nice decor and comfortable cozy booths to sit in while you wait for food. I loved the cocktail menu with some really unusual additions like the Mysore Pak cocktail. Though I ordered the New York sour and found it to my liking. The food is phenomenol šš I ordered the pulled pork which came with coleslaw, corn on the cob and two thick slices of fresh bread. Totally awesome taste. And the desserts were delectable to the T. Between the group we Sampled the Flan, the Peanut chocolate pie, flourless cake and churros. Everything was so good here. The ambience in the evening was quite good. Would love to go back here but then I discovered that they're shutting doors on 12th May and I feel so sad about this. I discovered this place so late š
If you're reading this before 12th May please book a table rightaway and go sample the food. Bangalore will miss this lovely restaurant for sure šš
This is a fancy place in a not-so-fancy local. It has one of the best non-vegetarian dishes to select from, but only a few vegetarian ones. We ordered a platter with lamb and pork, and both of them we exceptionally well made. Reservations are a must. The staff is well mannered and quite helpful with the suggestions. Music is not loud and hence this place is perfect for a quite dinner and conversation with family/friends.

First of all, let me blunt - if you're not a carnivore, don't think of coming here. Secondly, if you don't eat Beef or Pork, you're missing out on the experience here.
If you've lived abroad especially in N. American, you'll know how sacred the grill & smoker are. Slow cooked meat is king.
The Smoke Co re-creates that solid BBQ experience with an upmarket twist. The building it's located in gorgeous - the high ceilings & glass windows allow an interplay of lights and shadows from the huge tree outside. Take a look at the photos.
My world revolves around Beer specifically Craft Beer and Smoke Co serves Geist on tap. 3 house Beers and now number 4, the wonderful citrus forward, full of hop aroma & flavor sans bitterness, Kamacitra NEIPA (IPA). Pair this with the sandwiches, cheese platter and some of the meat items. If you don't like IPAs, you've got a Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen & Wit to choose from.
If Beer isn't your thing, there's a complete bat menu and wine list to choose from. On to the food - the amuse bouche was intense - bursting with flavor & certainly woke up my taste buds!
We ordered the large platter - the pork sausages we're excellent - full of flavor & juicy. The pulled pork and beef - heavenly - if you have a problem with this then you don't know meat & I suggest you get on a plane and head to KS City & take notes!
The BBQ chicken was good too but we were focused on the pork & beef. The side of corn was welcomed as well in between chomping down on meat.
After a breather, I ordered my main course - a cold cut sandwich layered with cold cuts, cheese, relish & pickles. This really hit the spot and there was simply no room for dessert. My friends felt peckish & ordered a jalapeno dip whilst I devoured my sandwich.
I've given this restaurant a 5.0 simply because it's a class apart and they've hit the nail on the head when it comes to BBQ & Smoked meat. It's a little pricey but so what - the finer things in life aren't cheap!
Don't forget to try that NEIPA ( New England IPA)!
Cheers & Stay Frothy!
