Lovely little place, it was a warm day and they had fans blowing, the food was good, we had the sharing platter for two, it was a big portion size that we needed to pack in three takeaway boxes! Ribs were tender and well cooked, it could have had a bit more of a BBQ flavour but the tenderness made up for that. The platter came loaded with fries that were cooked perfectly. Something different and definitely worth a visit if you’re into American BBQ.

Came here few times, and the last time after having seen them on “Come dine with me: The Professionals”. The place is really good, reminds me of when i visited the US. Service was friendly. Food was really tasty and well cooked. Chef came out to ask us for a feedback as we ordered something that she only recently launched on the new menu, which, in my opinion, is a really good sign as they are open minded and wanting to improve. Our mixed meat platter was amazing. Says that feeds 2 but I’m sure it’s enough for 3 people. Great vegetarian options to choose from. Would definitely recommend.

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 .. 🥰✌️..

The place is fantastic, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The brisket was dry, the rest of the pitmaster tray was pretty good! Finally a REAL Bbq place in Manchester!
