I was visiting Blackburn from across the pond on business and decided to try a good British steak…read more When scrolling through the local offerings, I noted that the Hudson Smokehouse offered a stone cooked steak. Since I had never had one prepared that way, I thought I'd give it a try. I enjoyed the experience. The perfect size rib eye steak was brought out with beautiful grill marks, sizzling on a hot stone for me to finish the cooking to my preferred state of doneness (medium rare of course). I sprinkle on a little salt & pepper, flipped it over twice until it had a nice sear & was ready to go. The flavor of the meat was great, it was a perfect medium rare. The experience was worth it. If I had a choice though, I'd have preferred an option for a side other than 'chips' - mashed or baked would have been preferred. I give the Hudson Smokehouse a hearty thumbs up.

I absolutely love the decor in this place it's very rustic. They have live music every Saturday night, there service was excellent all staff are extremely friendly and helpful - thank-you to the lady who looked after us last night, unfortunately I do not know your name. I had the "bourbon" burger last night and my partner had the "Bull & boar" we halved them so we could try both....both really nice (coleslaw and chunky chips delish too) they have a decent choice on the menu from chicken, pulled pork, burgers, ribs, and steaks, it's defiantly a mans meaty American style dream. Its a perfect place if you just fancy a lunch/tea with your family or friends that's not pricey and a drink or two after with some live music, without dressing up "to the nines" the cocktails sounded really nice but we didn't have any as we were driving, a sparkling water was as exciting as it got ha! And the milkshakes looked ace but the portions of our main were so generous we couldn't stomach anything else.

The worst time to go is about 7pm when they are having a live band later in the evening as there sound check will be load and not very good when there are only a handfull of people about it seems silly.

They are members of the just eat service meaning though they are a one off independent pizza parlour you can still order your food online. They have all various offers you would expect from a pizza place. The food is lovely and I order from this place regularly. If there is one downside it is that the staff do not understand english very well. The prices are very cheap when constrasted with pizza giant pizza hut. There can be around £2 in difference for a pizza of the same size when compared with pizza hut - with chicago being the cheaper. They have changed the layout recently and it seems to have made the floor area smaller but there are still toilets for customers to use and a few tables for you to eat inside if you should desire to do so.

One of the starters was meant to be cheesy garlic bread but there was no cheese anywhere to be seen or tasted. Told the waitress but she said thats how it comes! Then we had to wait until 12.50 before our main meal was served having had to ask where it was. On arrival the chips were so over cooked they were inedible. The burger wasnt even warm enough to melt the cheese slice. The fish cakes appeared like they had been thrown in hot fat and were very brown - no sign of any bread crumbs and were covered with a tomato sauce. All in all extremely unappetising. On a positive note they decided not to charge us for our meal! Absolutely awful!
