Barbecue · Sheffield
Serious barbecue in a room that's warm and buzzy rather than hushed, so nobody will notice a toddler having a moment. Portions are enormous — beef rib that falls off the bone, brisket, wings that are properly big rather than the sad little ones — which means one plate often stretches to feed a smaller child alongside the kids' menu. Food generally arrives fast, a real mercy when someone's melting down, though a few people found meat on the drier side when it's been held too long. Staff are friendly and happy to talk you through the menu. There are high chairs, buggy access, and a sticky toffee pudding worth staying for. Prices feel fair for the quality; expect it lively at weekends.
