We've been following Bison on Instagram for a while now and I knew we had to go in at some point. We can confused at the door because we have blonde moments from time to time so just be warned, the door is a pull and its heavy so give it a good pull!
We were the only ones in there at the time but we could tell it had a really fun atmosphere. You seat yourself and order at the bar which I find quirky for a BBQ grill type restaurant but it's really nice touch and we like being able to order as soon as we're ready rather than waiting.
I had decided earlier in the day I was going to have the 1/2 roasted chicken because they has posted about it earlier in the day but once I saw the menu, I got distracted. Especially by the Buttermilk Chicken Thigh Burger as I looove chicken thighs but Jed persuaded me to stick with my original option as you can't go wrong with a roast chicken.
The food came really fast - I understand we were the only ones in there which explains why it was so quick but its still a plus for us! It all looked incredible. The skin on my chicken was really crispy and full of flavour which is one of my favourite things ever. The chicken was delicious and was really juicy. The sweet potato fries were crispy instead of soggy so the entire meal was just everything I like, cooked just how I like it. I tried both the BBQ and mustard sauces that were on the table and they worked with everything on my plate so well. If you like Asian type flavours, then the BBQ sauce is definitely for you!
Jed's burger came and it was magnificent. Beef brisket dripping with sauce and you could see the melted cheese too. There are no words other then "delicious". We were expecting the potatoes to be cubed or diced for some reason so it was a surprise when they came as full potatoes but it really didn't matter with how they tasted. They were completely drowned in butter and garlic salt from what I could tell and it also meant that at the end, I could dip my chips in the garlic which was great.
I know I've used the word "delicious" a lot in this review but you really need to try this place for yourself to understand how good it is. 10/10 want one in the UK so I can go more often.

We Quit

-
Well, long time, no see! You read it - we quit. After months and months of deliberation, we finally did it. We’re spending the next 7 months travelling round Asia and then we’re moving to CANADA! At this moment in time we’re gearing up for the adventure of a lifetime and we’re excited to take you with us! We’ve created an entire Instagram that is going to be dedicated to our travels and you can follow it on @otterstravels. We’ve been thinking long and hard about what we want our travel vlogs and IG to consist of and we think it’s worth getting excited about! We would love to hear from you guys about what you would be interested to see while we’re out and about too. Otters Kitchen will remain fully in tact and we will be incorporating that into our videos along side our everyday adventures. Edinburgh is going to be our first stop. We have a whole 6 days to make the most out of Fringe 2019 and this is where our vlog adventure will begin (if we remember and get use to picking a camer...

Our Order River Phoenix £9.50 (Double cheeseburger, bacon, shoestrings onions, Frazzles, red chilies, Redneck BBQ, Bacon Bacon mayo, Smoky Bacon Ketchup) DTF £10 (Extra thick juicy patty, double American cheese, bacon, wonder onions, smoky bacon ketchup, dijon mustard, peppered mayo, pickles) Chilli Cheese Tots £5.50 (Tots, cheese, beef chilli, hot sauce, sour cream, jalapeno, onion) £25 8/10 After struggling to find Almost Famous on the Saturday, we were sure to find the place on Sunday. We had checked the menu on the Saturday and we were really excited to jump into it, especially after feeling the vibes as soon as we walked through the door. It wasn't too busy but you could feel the buzz. We struggled to settle on something for a while but my heart was telling me to go for the River Phoenix immediately purely for the Frazzles - I really wanted something different. The frazzles added a great texture to the burger, I just wanted more. It sounded like it was almost going to...

#40 Yard&Coop, Manchester

Our Order: Thighs, Blue Cheese Sauce, Salt & Pepper Chips £12.50 Double Mac £16 ( Two buttermilk chicken breasts, sandwiched with mac n cheese, crispy bacon, Dr Pepper BBQ and cheese sauces. Topped with two Dr Pepper BBQ wings.) Extra Buffalo Sauce £1 £29.50 9/10 After wandering round for about half an hour, looking for Almost Famous, we had no luck so we headed into Yard & Coop instead.  The place was filled to the brim and had a great atmosphere (and an ever better drinks menu). The variety of beers they offer is something and there was also a good few options for cocktails too. Both had nothing on the food menu though. Making a decision of something to eat was so hard as we both wanted everything on the menu, especially after seeing the food coming out of the kitchen. I was torn between trying the Dr Pepper sauce and the buffalo sauce so decided to go with the Double Mac with a side of buffalo because I'm greedy and refuse to regret not eating something. It was s...
