What a place!! Brilliant food, service and atmosphere. Really lovely staff and lively food. Obviously the meat, but the onion rings and fries were so well seasoned as well. Can't wait to come back again.

We had an excellent Saturday lunch at The Smoke House Banham. The service was great and the food was excellent. We felt very welcomed, and it was nice to have some BBQ and music that felt like back home in the States. Also they played my music! I highly recommend you give it a try.

The American diner feel came through quite well. Came for lunch today, had the pork belly burnt ends and brisket platter. I'd say that both were delicious, would've liked if they had own house BBQ sauce instead of a packet one. Would've been that bit more amazing. The mini-mac and cheese was to die for. Decently priced for the portion size.

Went to The Garden/ Smoke house with a group of friends as we were looking forward to trying a new type of restaurant that differs so much from the typical restaurants in england. We had bambam broccoli and burnt pork ends for starters, smoked brisket and burgers for mains, and cheesecake for dessert. Everything was top-notch from the flavour to the presentation of the dishes. The meats were soft and juicy. It was delicious. You could taste how fresh the food was, and the portions were huge, extremely generous. Can't wait to go back and try the sharing plater. There was plenty of space to even bring a guitar and play outside while having some after meal drinks at the front of the restaurant. Very friendly staff. The chef is definitely an asset to the business. Keep up the good work, and congratulations on your unique restaurant. I will definitely see you soon.
