"If you're looking for authentic BBQ with a Cajun/Haitian/Creole twist, then this is the place to be! They have a great selection of BBQ dishes; I tried "the change" which included a bit of everything (pulled pork, burnt ends, ribs, and brisket all BBQed) along with some Cajun fries. Everything was absolutely delicious, with the only downside being that the brisket was a bit dry (but the flavor made up for it). We were treated to a complimentary starter of cornbread and chili-butter that was delicious. I started with calamari rings and then had "the change". Our server was warm, relaxed, and friendly, fitting perfectly with the laid-back atmosphere of the restaurant. The decor may be eclectic, but it's the taste of the food that truly matters. We visited on a quiet Sunday afternoon and the service was quick. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the food and I can't wait to visit again. They pay homage to the roots of the food and add a spicy kick which I personally enjoy. For those who like their food seasoned, they offer a "super hot sauce" on request that will really spice things up. The prices are on the higher end for a casual restaurant, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. Thanks to the chefs for their traditional cooking skills, this was the best BBQ meat I've had in Bristol!"

Really tasty food with its own unique take on smoked classics. The squid, pulled pork, macaroni bites and boneless Korean chicken thighs were especially good. 10/10 for service, the owner was really friendly and made us feel like a guest in her home

we are both vegetarian so that a smokehouse may seem and add choice, but we really enjoyed our meal in VooDoo-Q. there was a good vegetarian selection and eating was delicious. the personal made us very welcome and looked at us well. we intend to return with our sons (the meat eat) as the menu looks good for them.

burgers were good, both came with double-patzen. my cheeseburger could have done with a little more cheese-dry. no beer on hahn and our thatchers was warm. we go in the rule for an additional side or dirty frying when we go for a burger, but they ran out of the fetched jabaneros. overall the service was friendly and portioning great.

I had an absolutely fantastic culinary experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. And oh my goodness, the food was amazing! This has definitely become my new favorite restaurant in Bristol. I'll be keeping an eye on them because I will be back for sure! P.S. You have to try the burnt ends!

The food at this restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly, but the wait for the food was a bit long, which I understand may be expected with smoking. However, it would have been nice to receive some updates or a heads-up. It seems like this is a common complaint in other reviews as well. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was very beautiful.

we arrived for an early lunch and had a great service that was serving keerl was very polite, friendly and knew his menu and drinks. I chose the altar who has a good plate for carnivores, huh, ripening, brisket, fries and shiny! we also cost the burger and a child's meal. oh and must not forget the burnt ends, they were delicious as the other dishes! this is a great place to eat and could imagine that it is a great atmosphere when busy. 5* we are back for more!

To be fair, our main dishes were fine—nothing special, but certainly edible—though this is not what you would expect when recommending a "decent" BBQ place that’s a bit further out of town. They really need better quality meat and a more skilled cook, as one person can’t manage a kitchen all on their own. The floor staff could also use training on how to communicate better when items are unavailable from the menu. It could have made for a nicer experience overall. On top of that, I heard they have the best nachos in Bristol, yet they weren’t even on the menu! Best of luck to them, and I hope they can iron out the issues at their establishment!

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! We were greeted warmly by a friendly staff member who seated us promptly. Our waiter was very attentive and had a great understanding of the menu. The food came out faster than we expected and was delicious. I tried the ribs and my partner had The Alter, a mixed grill, both of which had generous portions and fair prices. We also ordered burnt ends as a side, which were the best we have ever had. The restaurant has beautiful decor and a relaxed atmosphere, with professional and friendly staff. We are excited to return to try the burgers and hot dogs on the menu. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit and I hope it will be successful for ye...

"Visited here in Sept 23 for an executive dinner that we were hosting for various senior business leaders. We booked out the whole venue, which was the perfect size and atmosphere for the intimate and exclusive feel that we wanted, plus a convenient location. The TV that shows into the kitchen was fascinating, and the record player was put to use towards the end of the evening! Caroline from the venue helped us organise the event in advance and was great to deal with. We were fortunate with the weather so were able to enjoy a welcome drinks reception out the front of the venue, and have the door open all evening to let the balmy night in. We had the 7 course taster menu and it was simply OUTSTANDING so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was, particularly the beef steak course! It was so tasty that I even enjoyed the fish dish (not usual for me! . Service on the night was exemplary, the courses were brought out at just the right intervals so you weren't waiting ages but also not being rushed. The chef came out to greet us after the final course, which was a lovely touch and meant we could thank him. Overall, we had really great feedback from our guests, everyone loved it thank you for making our event such a success! We would definitely book again, and I know a few of our guests have already recommended it to their own companies for executive dinners! Would not hesitate to recommend."
