Service was awesome. Really friendly and helpful.There were 5 of us and we got crammed into a table that would barely fit 4, even though they were not overly busy and there were lots of other tables available.The food was pretty average. Everything is deep fried and there are not really even any sides you can get to break it up with.For a smokehouse/BBQ joint you expect big meals with big hunks of juicy tender meat but that definitely wasn't the case.Our table ordered the sharing platter for two and the pork belly. The pork was OK but soggy skin instead of crispy crackling, and the sharing platter had a lot of fries, some chicken (which was nice), two small, thinly sliced bits of brisket (one each) that needed some kind of watery sauce to breath life into it, and half a sausage each.For desert, the pie with bourbon sauce was good, but for those of us who ordered the tequila ice cream it was as big disappointment. We were literally laughing at how mismatched the portion sizes were (none of them were generous) and it was full of ice crystals. Hard to infuse alcohol into ice cream and still have it smooth and creamy I know, but if you can't make it work don't serve it.It's definitely not cheap so really disappointing that we didn't get the real American BBQ experience we had hoped for and expected. If not for the wait staff it would have been a complete disaster.

Went to The Fat Cow on Saturday night.Party of two. After stressing about being late for our reservation due to not finding parking. The staff were great and not fussed. They have small tablets for you to order your meals. Pretty cool.We ordered a the sour dough loaf as a starter and for the mains we ordered the 200g eye fillet steak and the pork belly. The meals were lovely though the crackling on the pork belly was soft and you couldn’t get a Jus for the steak.We did request it. We used our Entertainment voucher which gave 25% off the final bill.We had a lovely evening. The atmosphere was great and the staff very friendly and helpful.We will definitely go back again.

Well I have to agree with some of the negative comments regarding the self serve approach to ordering food. It does seem to lose the appeal of going to a restaurant. I completely understand why they have done it. But when you have such beautiful friendly people like Lina and Roberto on the front of house I really think you are missing a trick. Maybe give people the option of being served or going to the vending machine.The food atmosphere can’t be faulted.

As you walk around The Mount, you get smells of delicious food being conjured from all the food places. The aroma coming from their wood fired grill was out of this world!!What can great place for dinner! Amazing friendly staff!! Best service I've had for a long time. We were made to feel so welcome and the staff went through the specials and how to use their tablets for ordering. Attentive stag checking throughout our time there. You can tell their staff enjoys working there. Lots of smiles!We ordered the eye fillet steak, pork ribs, beef brisket and kids cheese burgers. To quench the thirst, we ordered pinacolada, raspberry lemonade, red beer n lemmy lemon.The eye fillet was pretty good! Melts on the mouth with the good seasoning, right amount of fries and a healthy serving of salad!Pork ribs sauce was delicious, ribs was tender but could be a bit more fall off the bones fell.Kids Beef burger was chowed down by the teen, juicy and on a brioche bun!The beef brisket was seasoned to perfection! Tender, moist and a party in my mouth truth every bite! Everything went together well!Best pinacolada ever!Can't wait to go back again!

Came here on a Saturday night. Restaurant was pack. I did not reserve any table, we came as a party of 2. However, the staff were amazing, they had us sitting on the bar and order first and move us to a table when there was an empty one.We ordered the sharing platter and everything on it taste amazing!Love the atmosphere and food! The price is pretty reasonable too! Will definitely be coming again~
