Delicious, smoky, filling… Rack City serves freshly cooked BBQ. Went there with a party of 10. 2 platters was more than enough. A lot of flavour no complaints just full stomachs. The waitress was very friendly and the chef made a cameo at the end of our meal. Really nice guy, shows how much he cares about the food he puts out. Make sure to call and book in advance.

We always walk past this place and it smells amazing! Finally decided to try and we did not regret. The brisket was tasty and sauce was super rich! The mac and cheese was deffo worth the hype! All I would say I wish the wings had more sauce and that would be my only little thing. Deffo would recommend and will deffo be back 😍

This place absolutely exceeded expectations and was amazing. The food was so tasty 🤤 and good. We had the chicken wings (wow so delicious), pork ribs, Mac and cheese was amazing, and corn bread which was so unique with the taste of ginger — everything was delicious. The sauces, the meat, the Mac — all juicy and flavorful and will come back again.

The vibe you get from the staff matches the greatness of the food. The food is 10/10 with meat dropping off the bone. After eating your going straight to sleep. With a couple drinks from the golden lion you'll have a great time with mates and go home with a full belly.

I would fly back to London just for another dinner at Rack City Ribs! By far the best meal I had all week. The staff was great from start to finish. Eating on the bus was a highlight. Coolest "restaurant" ever.

Some of the best ‘saucy’ ribs I have aver had! Mac and cheese was divine and the fried chickens texture with the pork next level. Great food but sticking nearly £2 for a tap soda water and then saying that gas costs really made me feel a bit ripped off.

Really good food, succulent meats and tasty sides. We had the platter and the beef rib. Drinks are from the pub. Didn't like the pub setting as we had kids with us but the food made up for it.

Went with my boys for the first time yesterday (won't be the last)..can't praise staff enough, they held our booking even though we went to the wrong branch (Highgate)...staff were friendly, welcoming and engaging..food was amazing, genuinely!!! We had the Caribbean platter, couldn't fault it / couldn't finish it 🙂...on the surface, a pub with a pop up kitchen, but there's more to this place, can't recommend highly enough...a great hang👌🏾
