food isn’t great. barely meat on the bones of the pork ribs. Service is lovely. Everyone was warm and welcoming and attentive.
Bison Bar & BBQResponded on 9 December 2024
Hi Vince, Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our service and found the team warm and welcoming. However, we're sorry to learn you were disappointed with your meal, lack of meat is not the house standard. Our staff checked in with your table throughout the meal, and nothing was mentioned at the time. Had we known, we would have been more than happy to address your concerns immediately. Your feedback is important to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a even better experience in the future. Best Wishes, Bison Bar & BBQ team.
