Bluegrass BBQ in Reading

Amazing as always, staff and food always great 💯

Omg. The beef rib is insanely good. Not the beefiest or smokiest flavour but for such a fatty cut, the flavour I had in mine was ample. What made it so good was the way it fell off the bone and was soooo tender. The rib, mac n cheese and a beer was over 30 quid which tbh is a bit steep for the amount of food I got. But it really was delicious.

Enjoyed the food, huge portions at reasonable prices. Fun Decor. Quite quiet though for a Saturday. Seated in view of a service area which looked a bit messy, would have been better to have swing doors to block it off a bit

Went here last night and the best food i have had in ages. Friendly staff and fantastic music too added to an amazing evening. Cant wait to go back.

If you have absolutely no idea what American BBQ food is all about, and, you want to spend a small fortune for next to nothing, go here. Food cooked with no love at all and if poor yanks ever went here they would cry. Absolute garbage. Wings like a chicken nugget.

Taken well care and Served fine by Teigan and Maria. The food was ok, not the same as I had from USA though

We ordered for only 2 people and waited over an hour for our food to arrive. Seemed really understaffed but the staff were friendly. The meat was good but the sides were disappointing.

A good atmosphere and welcoming staff, but the food was not to the expectations.

I order pulled pork brioche and I've got just a bun with a pork there where missing egg and it was discussing dry + I was waiting for this lovely dish over 1 hour 🤮 never again

So imagine paying £16 for a burger which is just a salap dash of chicken breast inserted in a bun and total of 45£ food We ordered for two people because of the hype and trust me i was totally disappointed. The food comes after an hour. The coleslaws all over floor of the bag. Okay, so one coleslaw left to eat and that too is just shredded cabbage with like nothing on it, just veggies. And this chicken burger which costs a fortune haha is all soggy and just normal raw patty with all the coating vanished. Trust me even the mc crispy tasted better than what i had tonight. Totallly disappointed and not even recommending anyone to order from here again. 👍🏼

AVOID AVOID AVOID! If I could give this place zero stars I would. I’ve eaten in my fair share of bbq restaurants around the UK and this is by far the worst. We decided to get a selection of the ‘smoked bar’b’que’ options as the pit boss platter looked quite small for two of us. Let’s review the dishes one by one. Chicken wings (stack) £11 - there was barely any meat on the wings. What little meat there was, was dry, bland and cold. Jalapeño cheese hot link sausage £6 - this was the only good thing about the meal, but at £6 for just a sausage, still not worth it. Brisket £13.50 - I usually LOVE brisket, but this was such a disappointment. It would’ve been over priced if it was 50% cheaper. 10cm in diameter at a push. Tasted okay but I’ve had better bought from a supermarket. Burnt ends £12 - again, I usually love burnt ends, but these were the worst thing we ate. Tougher than old boots, drenched in sauce to cover up the lack of flavour and stone cold. Baby back ribs (full rack) £24 - you expect bbq ribs to fall off the bone but we had to hack away at these to get the meat off. On the plus side the amount of chewing I had to do has chiselled my jawline. There was also small shards of bone that could’ve easily chipped a tooth or caused some serious discomfort if swallowed. Bluegrass fries £4 - cold and soggy, hard to get chips wrong in a restaurant kitchen, but they managed it. Famous frickles £4.50 - these were okay, albeit extremely greasy, but for the price, the portion size is very generous. Too much if anything. Very sickly because of the amount of grease. Onion rings £4.50 - same as the frickles, generous potion size but cold, and extremely greasy. Both the onion rings and frickles had a pool of oil in the bottom of the dish they were served in. 2 pints of IPA £7.50 each - decent beer, but the sort of prices you’d expect to pay in London restaurant. All in all we were extremely disappointed, but alas, they already had my money as you have to order off your phone and pay before any food or drinks hit your table. Staff had about as much personality as a plant pot. To make matters worse, half the £94 worth of food ended up being flushed down the toilet as my other half threw it all up within 15 minutes of leaving. Do yourself a favour and steer well clear of this place, I’ve never had a worse experience dining out.

Great food Amazing staff members ✨

Went for breakfast this morning and was really excited as always had a great experience. I waited initially 40 minutes for food baring in mind it wasn’t busy. I found a hair in my food which I asked for a replacement and waited another 20 minutes for this one. I barely received a sorry which is disappointing.

So greasy, guaranteed to stick to your ribs and disrupt your digestion for a week. Not even that tasty. Don't go.

Food was amazing, but quite pricey, would go again but not often. The Dirty Mac was really good, if you go you need to try the smocked halloumi.

Decent BBQ place with a huge menu and excellent customer service. Their food is not the best I had, some things were a little dry or a little oily, but overally it was a hearty meal for a great price, so I'd recommend visiting, especially of you're with kids.

Fantastic place to go with children. Has a very suitable menu for breakfast and lunch. Kids love the pancakes and drinks. Served with toppings of ice cream and bacon. Staff are very kind and helpful.they go out of their way. Pancakes are wonderful and best around. Not a fan of the rest of the menu but it’s very edible. Would recommend for young families for breakfast or for a night out with friends where drinking is the aim and you want somewhere to live the stomach

The service was incredible! Staff were vey accommodating! The food was beautiful and I I would highly recommend this place! Was incredible all round! I’d happily go again without battering an eyelid! Best food around the area!

What we had was very nice, but for two meals and two drinks we paid £73, and left hungry, what can I say :(

Food was slow, but there was a party on.

It's colder inside the restaurant than outside. Had to eat breakfast in my coat.

great food, poppy was quick and a joy to be served by!

Cold inside the restaurant, small portions for a lot of money. Food was ok, tastes good but not worth the cost.

Hard pass, bad customer service and unwelcome vibes

Staff were friendly. Ordering through app was easy. Food was edible but I wouldn’t come again.

Good food, great service by our lovely young waitress Teigan polite and very helpful and friendly asset to the restaurant will recommend going to friends and family 🌟

The food was good and Teigan gave amazing service and was very polite and friendly.

Had an amazing night, Tiegan was an absolute delight and a wonderful server, all around great food and establishment!

The atmosphere is really American and the staff was fantastic as always. My favourite brunch place!

Amazing food and the best service ever!

Probably don't even need to give another top review, but they deserve it. The food is epic, the atmosphere brill. Highly recommend 🥰

Went in for breakfast with the family and ordered pork pancake stacks and popcorn chicken and waffle, food was great and service was even better. I was served by Teigan who was great throughout our meal. I will definitely be returning

Very good pancakes, Amazon and Teigan have been very kind, will come back! :)

Had a lovely experience in Blue Grass yesterday evening. Walked in and was immediately greeted with a smiling face at the door by the name ‘Amazon’. Not only was she incredibly attentive but genuinely seemed to have an interest and care for the service she was providing. Food was absolutely amazing and came within good time. 10/10 experience :) Will soon be back.

Fantastic service- polite efficient- warm and welcoming personality -Amazon - Thankyou very much

Amazing food and great service.

Had a great evening with friends, great food and the staff were excellent. Kate & Amazon who looked after us all evening were fantastic.

Attended the restaurant on Monday and took advantage of the daily deal of 2 Bluegrass burgers (Monday special). Burger were very tasty and chips were good too. Service by Amazon was very professional from warm greeting to explanation of the menu. Food arrived in good time. Would visit again.

Thank you Amazon and Tegan for being lovely hosts!

Amazon was absolutely amazing. Food was out of this world and the music was on point 10/10 all round.

Love this place, not cheap especially for beer but all great quality. Tasty!

Fantastic food and service. Amazon and Maria Looked after us brilliantly. We’ll be back!

One of the chefs kept shouting at the staff because they didn't want to cook hash browns. Unfortunately for me, I ordered the jalapeño and cheese hot link hash. In the end, it came with no hash or jalapeños 😢. Our main server was nice, but when I asked about missing jalapeños to another server, we heard them complaining to the loud chef about me being fussy. I've been told there is good food there, so good luck if you go 🙏

The food and service is brilliant. Katie, Amazon and Maria are very professional. Nice decor and atmosphere... A really nice place if you want something a little different. Highly recommend, been several times now and can't wait to go back

Maria and Kate were absolutely fabulous. Food was delicious and ambience was lovely 🤤

It was a lovely dining experience. Special thanks to Maria and Kate

First experience here, very nice, thanks

Maria was so fantastic, a terrific person, I feel like…. Maria! I've just met a girl named Maria, And suddenly that name Will never be the same To me.

Very fast and efficient service. Poppy was brilliant.

Amazing food and service! Would definately recommend to anyone coming to Reading! 10/10!

Had an amazing meal and the service was exceptional, thank you Maria and Trenyce for looking after us so well.

Atmosphere 5 because I was with great mates. Had a group booking of 30, everyone pre-ordered, guys were waiting 2 hours from initial seating for food to come out. Organisational shambles

Excellent foot and Amazon was brilliant

Lovely waitress- Amazon. My health freak mate enjoyed it

Pub was recommended to us and was worthy of the praise. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We had BOSTON BURGER and the buffalo chicken bonfire and they were both superb. A must visit for any American food lovers. I cannot state enough how good the food was and served with a smile - and at a reasonable price too - great to see a busy pub and well done ! 5⭐️ service and a great team.

I visited bluegrass with my husband and son. Set-up is very nice and food is too good. Staff is very friendly specially the lady named Maria is too attentive and friendly.

Many thanks to Amazon and Teigan for a lovely evening, great food, smiles and perfect cheesy soundtrack!

Amazing food, great Tennessee American vibes! Great service by Maria as well, really friendly and helpful

Food was tasty, served by Poppy who was friendly and speedy!

Very tasty food, especially the BBQ ribs, absolutely amazing. We had the Pit Boss sharing platter. Our waitress, Maria, was very helpful and polite. Would definitely go back

Lovely meal and lovely friendly staff, especially Maria who served us!

Good food, amazing customer service - Thank you Maria. Highly recommended.

Great food, even better staff. Too many draft beers to choose from - thankfully Maria was there to recommend the best. Would happily come again next time we’re in town :)

If you like burnt food I would reccomend!!

Amazing food and friendly service! There was a little bit of waiting time (reasonable) but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommended.

Great food and atmosphere, additional quality added by our server Maria, recomend!

Amazing place from when we first walked through the door! Fantastic service from the staff which followed by some stupendous food. At first, thought it was a little expensive but as soon as the food landed on our table... more than justifiable 👌 highly recommend and will certainly be coming back. 5 Stars all round!

The food was banging. Lovely staff and great experience.

Lovely food, big portions, really friendly and helpful staff (Kate & Maria were wonderful), nice atmosphere! Haven’t heard so much country music in two hours ever! Keep at it! Love, The lady with the cool outfit 🌹

I visited bluegrass and it has nice flavour, liked the food. Also i like the setup. Staff is very friendly specially the lady named maria helped us to choose the food as we are new and she is very humble.

Big fan of the place. Great food, nice beer and lovely staff - we were served by Kate and she was wonderful

Maria and Kate were very helpful and friendly , we had a lovely experience !

Excellent food! Everything is amazing!!! Special thanl you to Kate! 💕she made our dinner very enjoyable ❤️

Fantastic service and amazing food! Kate & Maria were extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning.

Good concept, poorly executed. Went at lunchtime for the special. Waitress was very polite but she was the only person FOH so overworked. Seated near kitchen and back door, as if in a cellar. Food was less than mediocre. Burger was dry and did not taste of Jalapeno as described. Dirty fries looked more like floor sweepings or pan scrapings. To add insult to injury I was overcharged. Never again.

Kate was great na food was fabulous 🤩

Food was lovely, service from Kate & Amazon was great 😃

Really helpful with my little boy who has loads of allergies….. Amazon was super helpful

Bluegrass burger was delish and Teigan so helpful great service

Rejected because they were short staff? In a restaurant? Not even chips and a beer..

Was really looking forward to eating here but got to say I was disappointed. When the food came it was warm at best, and got colder by the second, I'm guessing from serving it on cold metal trays. The "burnt ends" are not real burnt ends, although the meat is tender, burnt ends shud be charred and have sticky BBQ sauce on them, hence the name. The wings were very small N tasted reheated N just tossed in sauce. Had the chilli cheese N brisket fries which were ok. But on a plus side the service was great N the sauces at the sauce station were tasty. Meal wasn't worth the £27.

Service is pretty poor your order via app but everything takes ages. Food is decent and well cooked but not worth what they charge. Can of drink for 3 quid doesn’t look great…
