Drove 40 mins to try the sharing pitmaster platter. The chicken wings were a bit dry and the beans were a bit salty but other than that, it was so worth the drive! Everything else was so tender and flavourful. Just absolutely unreal and definitely worth the hype - 10/10!

I got the pit master for 1 it was nice the only thing to let it down was the sausage they need to change that the taste and texture was poor the brisket was nice but cut very thin the rest of the meats was nice I'd definitely go back the soft chicken tacos was good as well

Manchester city centre smoke houses have absolutely nothing on the bbq bus ribs. Nothing zero zilch nada, these ribs at the bus are way better than anything in the city centre smoke houses.

Some great things like their brisket and unusual to the UK the belly pork. Good milkshakes too. Ribs are a bit dry for my taste. Burgers great. If you are local it's a must, A bit too far for us to be worth it when Hickories is nearer, almost in a par, and they have beef rib which is not on offer at the old school bus. Suffers from perennial issue with BBQ joints, music far too loud everywhere, even outside, so might be tricky for the neurospicy folks.

Have been wanting to visit here for ages . My husband is from up this way and finally got to book in last Sunday . Booking online was really easy, but we struggled slightly with communication on if dogs were allowed. We eventually got through by email, but dogs were only allowed outside in the bar area, which is fair enough. It's exactly how it looks like an old American school bus, which has been turned into a kitchen . They have expanded a lot since they first opened, I'm told ,from just hale bales to now fully covered dining area, which they live music on Friday and Saturdays advertised. Wide variety of food , drink, and moonshine on offer and was at a reasonable price, especially for the portion sizes . Service was great, and we didn't wait long, but we didn't feel rushed either. We had halloumi chucky sticks , rattle snake bite balls, and onion rings to start, which were all generous in size. The oink burger , texas burgers which where chicken breast ,beef burger with bacon cheese and amazing pulled pork, and a brisket bun, which was packed full . They did deserts and ice creams and milkshakes (alcoholic one's too ), but we were already having to take to go boxes .Everyone really enjoyed it here, and we would definitely would come back when in the area.

Really disappointed with our visit today. My parents took me and my partner after they'd really enjoyed it on previous visits. Food-I had the blue cheese burger. Unfortunately it's one of the worst burgers I've ever had with no flavour and the bread was hard. The fries were nice enough. My partner had the pork belly taco's. She got three pieces of pork and it was the worst she's ever tasted. It was also a very small dish, and was too spicy for her taste. My dad doesn't like any of the desserts he's had previously, so none of us ended up getting any. Service-The staff weren't unfriendly, but they definitely weren't happy. I also asked for a pint and got half a pint, they forgot my partner's water, so they then brought us a jug but forgot the glass. They forgot my mum's mayo, and it looked like knives aren't standard to be laid out on the table so she had to ask for one also. Atmosphere-It was a little cold which was understandable being in a tent, but did make it uncomfortable. We weren't fans of the bullfighting being shown on the TV either. One of the toilets was clogged, and one of sinks in the toilets was broken-it looked like the handle had snapped-and the other was clogged with paper towels. There were no paper towels left and no hand drier. I did like the bucket sinks as an idea however. Parking is a free for all as it's on an industrial estate. We got a space but I can imagine it potentially being chaos on a busy day. Perhaps we ate on an off day, or maybe it's because we were on table 13, but I can't see myself coming back any time soon.

Booked a table for Friday 16:00pm. Got there at 15:55 greeted by a lovely staff member and was taken straight to a table. Outside temperature was arou d 21c but inside was nice and cool with large industrial fans blowing so you felt a nice cool gentle breeze around the venue. A lovely staff member brought me and my mrs a menu each and whilst we was choosing we was brought a drinks menu. Didn't feel at all rushed. Drinks menu is immense and there's something for everyone so if your feeling adventurous you can knock yourself out. They even do alcoholic milkshakes. My mrs had double Malibu & coke with ice and I just had a corona and lime on draught. Food menu is also immense amd certainly plenty to choose from. I knew what I wanted before I got there so was just waiting for the Mrs to choose. I had the snakebites for a starter that consists of mozerrella cheese in breadcrumb type balls (you get 3 good sized) served with some rocked and a lovely sauce (looked like 2 types of sauce drizzled over) me and the Mrs shared these as she was tempted by the look of them. We both really enjoyed them and they left a slight hot tingle in the mouth but no to hot but very tasty. Once we'd finished the starter we was asked if we wanted to get the main course started whilst ordering some more drinks. Again not rushed at all and a nice relaxed atmosphere. The server was lovely at all times and she really looked after us. For the main i ordered the mini pitmaster with dirty fries (there's lots of different dirty fries to choose from) my mrs ordered salt and pepper chicken salad with a side of seasoned fries. We didn't have to wait long at all for the food and my mrs was gobsmacked at the size of her portion 😀 it was huge. I was brought my mini pitmaster straight after that and it looked pretty impressive. We decided to get stuck in and all kept saying as I was eating mine was wow. The flavour and quality of the food was really good. We both really enjoyed our meals but couldn't finish them due to the amount served so was offered a box to take home what ever we wanted. We was offered desert but laughed as we had no chance of eating anything else. We where defeated 😀. Toilet facilities was OK too. I paid the bill of just under £83 and that included 2 double. Malibu and coke and 2 corona on draught. Excellent service and was constantly checked on to see if everything was OK. Compliments to all the girls/ladies they where great and always smiled and also thele guys in the bus prepping the food. We took our goody box home for our springer spaniel Lottie and as soon as we got home she was straight there sniffing the box. She also says compliments to the oldschool bbq bus as she ate the lot in about 30 seconds flat 😀 (pics in the review) . We will definatly go back again but next time we will leave some room for desert. Thanks for looking after us. Great team. We left before the live music started. Sorry for any spelling mistakes I was busy whilst writing this review.

Sam was lovely and welcoming as were the whole team. The food has somehow improved? Which is saying something as it was already pretty spectacular. The beans(we aren't bbq beans fans usually) were amazing. Get the northwest mayo. And the ribs fell off the bone. The brisket was great. The sauces were even better. The chips had better seasoning. And that sausage is now Magical!

The blandest "BBQ" food I've ever come across. Corn "ribs", were just plain halved Cobs, no additional flavouring, no colour, no char, nothing. Might as well have been boiled. (may have been) The meat was fine, but again, no flavour and nothing to suggest it had been cooked in anything other than a slightly clapped out oven. The worst bit really is that it would be so simple to fix - a decent rub on the corn / meat might not quite have had me trying the place again - but would definately have prevented me bothering to do a review ...maybe even a bit of salt if I'm honest. Atmosphere good though, star for that.

I've been wanting to try here for ages, and I'm gutted to say it, but it wasn't what we expected. The servers were lovely, but my food wasn't great. I had a sirloin, and it was all fat. The kids' food was great, and my partner said the spam fingers were good. The thing that did it for me was seeing one of the cooks eating fries with his gloves on, whilst cooking the food. 🤢 Unfortunately, I won't return

It has a lovely outdoor area for when the weather is nice. It had a large variety of beer and cocktails definitely worth a visit.

Ordered food for takeout & asked for no salad, pickles, slaw. Took about an hour with the food just sitting in the window for about 15 minutes. Food ended up having all the slaw etc still on it so needed to be remade. After taking it away they forgot to include the pulled pork. Barely any meat on the pork rib and was all very dry and bland. Only thing decent was the chicken wings. Hickory's infinitely superior.

Loved the live music and venue. It was really immersive and well done. I had feared it was completely outdoors but it was warm and in a kind of tent bubble. Staff were hit and miss. Some were lovely. Others you couldn't get the attention of because they were talking to each other. A lot of the dishes were sold out which was disappointing. We had the platter and while the meat was tender and fell off the bone, I thought that it lacked a bit of juicy flavour.

You lost a star because, we had the sharing pit master for 2 at a cost of £53.00, and you gave only a quarter of a cob of corn which should have been a full cob. There should be 4 chicken wings and not just 2, the beans were not wanted by anyone and are an acquired taste. The chicken fajitas were super small with no sides at all!!!! Come on guys. The place is about good food first let's have some value for money at a time of austerity! Anyway, spot on staff, fantastically helpful and the atmosphere was awesome 👌 drinks were also reasonable. Just the food value you have to work on. You're allowing people to put you in tiktok and showcasing the sharer with waaaay more food than you actually get. That's misleading. Would call again and would definitely order the sharer with some other requests.

Great place for some great food. Had the sharer plate with a ton of food on it, which was utterly phenomenal. The music was fantastic too, the country in the background makes for a great ambience. We had kids with us, and they accommodated us so well. We asked not to be seated near speakers, as kids would just compete with noise, and my kids ate everything and were super quiet. We had a hiccup with the ice cream, but that was rectified without issue. All in all, it is definitely a place I'd visit again and bring the family too. If you're thinking of visiting this place definitely get down there and soak up the atmosphere, loved it. THANKS GUYS!

Above all, the food was terrible, bland and dry. We had pulled pork, brisket and ribs, and all three dishes lacked any BBQ flavour and the tenderness you expect. We also ordered Mac & cheese which, again, was bland and overcooked. Service was slow, with no explanation or apology as to why it took our food so long to arrive. Nobody asked how our food was, and the staff were generally inattentive. The one saving grace was they had nice beers on tap - a low bar to clear.

Spot on meal. All the flavours of the meat were great, really smoky and nice. The brisket was melt in the mouth as was the pork belly. The ribs I was worried about when I took the first bite as was a bit dry and tough but was just that outer edge, as soon as you got into it it was melt in the mouth as well. The only let down was the mac and cheese which I didn’t think was very tasty. The staff were great and looked after us. There was a couple of drinks we ordered that weren’t available. Was a bit cold in there.

Just been. Had the snakebite cheese starter thing. Menu said something about a cheese pull there was barely anything inside. Had a pitmaster main. I found the brisket dry, the pork quite fatty and the chicken wings plain. The sausage on it was great. I've been a few times and it's always been good but I've always had a burger. Think I'll stick to the burgers. My friends all had burgers with exception to two of us who had the pitmaster. We both agreed it was pretty disappointing. Burgers are top notch in fairness you can't go wrong.

A truly unique hidden gem, you won't find a BBQ experience like this anywhere within 50 miles, and I've looked! It is a pure Americana experience, when we were there there was country on the speakers, bull riding on the TV and there was no avoiding the massive American school bus! The food was great, and possibly the best BBQ sauce I've ever had. Couldn't recommend more. Try a moonshine shot too, it's much nicer than movies have made out lol Special shout out to Sammy!

I've been local to this place for years,always backing it but never actually been. After seeing a poor tiktok review I wanted to go and be proven wrong as I've worked in smoke houses before but absolutely everything was so mid. First my son spat out his mac and cheese and refused to eat it. I couldn't blame him, it was over cooked and had this strange lumpy cheese sauce. I said to the woman I'm sending it back yet I still got charged for it. She never even asked what was wrong so I'm assuming she knows how gross and slimey it was. Has I not been charged for this I wouldn't be leaving this review. I did leave a tip but only because I was so embarrassed that my very hungry son wouldn't eat his food and was dancing on the stage instead (being an absolute menace) while I reluctantly ate mine. Giving 1 star because £36 (rounded up to 40) for the quality of food I got is a joke.

Food was really good although maybe a smaller portion size for a child could be considered as we wasted an awful lot. Atmosphere was amazing , the only thing that I can give negative feedback on is the service, the staff waiting on tables didn't come and check on the food nor check in for drinks, I was constantly looking around to catch a waitress and to ask for a drink and she forgot leaving me waiting 15-20 minutes, I went up to the bar instead (bar member was fantastic at correcting this), I understand staff are busy but often staff were stood chatting whilst waiting for food to come out the kitchen instead of checking on tables, first drink was spilt over the table by the staff member which is not an issue because accidents happen however staff member didn't offer to correct the cocktail and make a fresh considering most was on the table , we had to ask for a replacement. Non issue if it was a coke but it was a cocktail. The bill at the end was incorrect and we waited a long time for the bill , a staff member told us they needed the table we were on for a reservation but we had to explain we were trying to leave but the bill was taking a long time, The bill was corrected in the end dropping down by £60 as we had a full order from another table on our bill. Overall food and Atmosphere amazing, waiting staff could be more attentive and sadly impacted the general satisfaction when leaving which is a shame.

We went for an anniversary meal, the food was really nice, brought out promptly, especially considering the large party ahead of us. It was freshly made and a bit different to regular burger or bbq places, lots of it looked great on the menu, and what we had was very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere when we arrived was great, not too busy for a Thursday night, even with what looked like a large party sat together. It was a great atmosphere, then the live music started. The singer was very good, playing country songs and playing guitar. But wow she was playing loud. My ears hurt a few times on some notes, and while she was singing (very well) it was impossible to talk or enjoy the meal together. If the live music was around half the volume, or even acoustic without a speaker it would have been great to have a meal to. We will hopefully be back to try more of the menu, but we will make sure it's not when there's live music on if it's usually that loud.

I'm not really the target market for this style of restaurant, but I went in with an open mind. Its a loud busy place set in a grotty corner of a trading estate.The sharing starter platter was excellent. Hot and flavoursome, with plenty for 3 to share in a single portion, the chicken in particular was spot on. I had the brisket sandwich and found it disappointing. I could get no flavour from the meat of smoke or spices. It looked and tasted like mass catering roast beef pre-sliced by machine then warmed in an overwhelming bbq sauce. My companions enjoyed their Get in my Belly and Oink Burgers, but the beans and fries were barely warm and the fries had far too much salt on. Given we were there before 5pm the atmosphere was excellent, the service spot on and prices reasonable.

Ate here with my son after a reccomendation from a friend. I probably should have looked into the venue a little more because we were a bit chilly throughout, not sure how the heating works in winter there, but I would have liked it a little warmer. The staff very excellent and very attentive (granted we were 1 of 2 tables in there at the time). The food was good. The chips in particular we both enjoyed. My chicken burger was decent enough. My sons mac and cheese wasn't amazing and the fudge cake was OK at best (they had run out of lots of other desserts so my options were limited).

Excellent food and service at this restaurant. The menu choice is outstanding for adults and kids and the BBQ ribs and pulled pork oinkburger that I had was brilliant as was my sons Mac and Fries. He also enjoyed his ice cream. I could have picked at least 10 dishes off the menu - all keenly priced, The star of the show though was Billy who looked after us really well and was great with my son. If I am this way again - I will definitely come here. Recommended for a family meal and anyone that likes barbecue/texan style food.

Fantastic food and service! Our first visit and we were looked after with great service from our two waitresses. Lovely atmosphere and loved the kitchen bus. We were surprised to find that kids eat for £1 Wednesday & Thursday. The kids portions were huge and well cooked and our mains were delicious and great value. The pecan pie is very good and a good size. Would definitely visit again

First time visiting "The Old School BBQ Bus" an this place surely didn't disappoint!!! Lip smackingly good!!😋 Was on a mission for some barbecue as I had a right hankering for a good feed!! Have tried the likes of Red's & Hickery's bbq but fancied trying somewhere new - other places are good, but the same stuff is a bit repetitive.. I came across this place whilst searching online! An Well, I think this place has become the new go too!! Absolutely spot on! 🤩🤩 the food was amazing an im not jsut saying that. 🌭🍗🍖🥩🍔. This is probably some of the best bbq I had since being in the state 🇺🇸. Real true orthentic favours!! The meats has such a depth of smoke from being cooked low an slow, just take the bbq to the next level. 😍😍🍖 We tried the pitmaster for 2 as well as the spam fritters & Rattle snake bits 🐍 as a side.!! Thought this was the best option to get a feel for what they had to offer, as the menu is quite vast a bit spoiled for choice!! It surely doesn't disappoint that was for sure. The portion sizes are massive, Border line needed to be wheeled out was that full. Left with doggy bags for the bits we couldn't manage. Can confirm that kts just as nice the next day!! Nom nom nom 😋😋. Also, don't forget to check out there, "Hangman Sauce," it's not for the faint harted, that's for sure 🤯🥵🥵.. blow ya @#£# head off!!! 🤯🤯😭🥵🥵.. They do offer a in house food challenge with this sauce playing centre stage!! a bit of a Man v Food kind thing, but be warned ⚠️ it's not for the faint harted!!. Sauce is made up off Scorpion Chilli, Caroline Reaper & gost extract, it's not be messed about with. Seriously Seriously blows ya head off.!!! 🤯🤯🤯... 🌶🌶🌶🌶🔥🔥 Must admit this place is set in the most unlikely of locations, and not quite what ya expect!! Once your inside the main building, you are in a full-on American themed bar / restaurant!! Place is very rustic themed, all the cooking is done on an old school bus! Place very much dose carry a wood shack kind vib - like some deep rooted louisiana forgotten moon shine hut!! Seriously rustic, but dose add to the the whole experience.. Deffenlty be returning an getting our bbq fix!! Certainly be recommending to family & friends .. 🥰✌️..

Went for a birthday meal ( 8 lads) had a good night. Not been before so didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. Food was excellent, had live music on, good selection of drinks and a good atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful will definitely be going back. 10 out of 10. 12 months since we last went, 10 of us this time for birthday meal and it was still excellent no complaints well worth a visit if you've never been. 24th August '24 went for a family birthday this time with 3 people who hadn't been before and they all enjoyed it. Live music was good.

We always go early in the day/evening and it's always a bit quieter, which we prefer with three kids. Great food, really improved since we first went. Grateful to have a BBQ place so close by.
