The Big Smoke - Rotherham Moorgate Road, Rotherham S60 2AG

"Three of us came for late lunch for my partners birthday today. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and requested to sit outside, which was obliged. We were shown where the toilets were on the way in which is always useful when attending somewhere for the first time. We had starters and mains (see photos attached) including Nachos, Chicken Thighs and Hot Link Sausages followed by 2 Beauty & The Beef Burgers and The Big Grill. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious and very good quality (and value for money). The Nachos were really nice and really similar to the ones you get from The Cheesecake Factory. The meat was tender and succulent and the bread in the burger was soft and fresh. It had a relaxing atmosphere and was nice to sit in the sun with a beer/ cider. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. When the mains came we hadn’t been given any cutlery from the starters (which wasn’t an issue for us, we just asked for some) but the staff were apologetic and said they should have noticed. Really nice lunch, would definitely return. We all left feeling so full."

"Been wanting to try here for absolutely ages... visited last night after booking online yesterday afternoon and we certainly wasn't disappointed!! We had the meat treat to share between us and it was absolutely delicious & huge!! We then shared a Twirl cheesecake for pudding which was also delicious!! We will definitely be returning as theres so many things on the menu we want to try!! All staff was very friendly and attentive! Can't wait to come back!!"

"Booked in advance, would recommend doing this as it was busy. Seated and food/drink order was taken swiftly. Tables were spaced out reasonably well and didn't feel cramped. Bourbon ribs and fillet steak was ordered. There is a choice of which chips accompany the meals. The ribs are advertised with skin on fat chips so stuck with it, as with the fillet. The wait time for the food was as expected. The ribs were tasty but far too fatty for me and the skin on fat chips were big, more like wedges and big wedges at that. (to be fair and honest, I am a bit of a fussy eater and I'm sure plenty of people like some fat on the ribs and huge chips) The staff were friendly and the establishment was clean and tidy. There was a pleasant outdoor seating area to the rear. There is on site car parking with extra spaces behind the restaurant. Prices appear to be similar to other restaurants of that nature."
