We went to Pendergast to celebrate my cousin's birthday and we had such memorable experience. The two gentlemen working one that day was very welcoming. Their suggestions of different type of meat and constant checking up on our experience during our meal was really warming. We definitely reccommend the share portion especially with the brisket and ribs! We also love the sides of black beans and smoked meat. The cornbread adds extra touch to the meal and the coleslaw brought a bright refreshing touch.
After finishing the main, they prepare a small but such delightful surprise for my cousin. Thank you to everyone who worked on the 3rd of August for this experience. We will surely come back with our friends and family.

Fantastic food! Also the waiter was a super nice guy and took the time to explain everything and making sure we had a great time there. The starter brisket burnt ends were absolute heaven and the main dish brisket was also super tasty! Meaty beans were perfect as a side. The mash potato is only available during autumn & winter season so now in the summer you will find potato salad instead. Only thing that was less great was the cornbread which was totally different then expected. Not my thing but I guess a traditional style. Portions are great and surely value for money 🤩🥩 will visit again asap
Truly a hidden gem of Amsterdam. The ribs are to die for, so definitely order those. And their sides are really the cherry on top. I really enjoyed the meaty beans. And for starters, try their burnt ends. You will not regret it.
Amazing experience. Truly authentic smokehouse. A unique place in Amsterdam. The place gets crowded so make sure to book beforehand. The burnt ends as a starter are a must, truly melt in your mouth. If you are three or more, order the shared platter, really delicious and great value.
Everything was delicious! We ordered the shared plate with the ribs, brisket and pork cheeks. The meat was so well cooked that it was melting in our mouth. From the sides we ordered the stew beans, the mac and cheese and the salad.
The staff was super friendly and rhetorical place was so cozy. Highly recommended!!!

Best spare ribs I’ve ever had! Definitely coming back for them. Bbq sauce paired perfectly with it. The brisket was cut on the thick side and tasted a bit over cooked. I also wish the side of beans had more beans than meat in it, but it was tasty. Corn bread and Mac n cheese tasted just right.
Top notch BBQ spot.
Cozy restaurant where you definitely need to make a reservation.
Super selection of wines and sparkles, big beer range and great cocktails, which l opted for.
The brisket was well seasoned through and you can taste that they choose a great quality meat in this restaurant.
The sides are also well crafted, super delicious mac n cheese with a 3 cheese sauce - nothing artificial on any parts, pure flavour.
Pecan pie was one of the best l came across so far.
Would have been an easy 5 star, but the brisket could have been more juicy to be up to a 5 star rating, may have gotten an “unlucky” piece though.
This rating of 4 stars, however, is compared to bbqs l had in the states, so to what you can get around here or generally in Europe, this is clearly a 5 star place for authentic grill and smoke cuisine.
Will definitely be back to try the ribs.
Thanks for a great last dinner in Amsterdam.
