T-Rex Restaurant BBQ & Smokehouse — Restaurant in Putten

If you really know BBQ, you know this is not the best. We had the 'Have it all' platter to try out the Brisket, the Ribs, the Chicken and the Sausage.

The Brisket looked red inside, probably from the seasoning, which makes it seem like it was marinated long instead of having a crust by charring it on the BBQ longer periods of time. The Ribs were the 'fall on the bone kind', but they seemed to have used the same marination (red colored meat), which gave it a similar flavor as the Brisket. The same counted for the Chicken which was way too salty again with a similar flavor (red colored meat). It would have been better if each had its own flavor, definitely on the same platter, which seemed like a missed opportunity. The Sausage actually was the best tasting meat, which had jalapeno in it for the spice. Also the loaded fries with chili (we opted out of the bacon bits) was delicious. The staff and service was...

We spend our day at a near swimming pool place and decided to put a cherry on the cake by having dinner here. The temperature this day was incredibly good 32° (in the Netherlands is almost a dream) so we could easily sit outside since everyone was inside with the airco. We had pulled pork, chicken wings Alabama, nachos, loaded fries, brisket and ribs. I most say the flavour was good in each dish, but for the ribs I expected the meat will fall apart of the bone, and that didn't happened, that was a bit disappointing. For dessert we had ice with chocolate, a delicious smores with maria cookies and ice and a very typical cake (for the area we heard from the waitress) called arrejescake. The service were great, very helpful, could answer our questions, specially for the kids choices. Well...

We came to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday with my family — and it was a total disaster. The place was packed and severely understaffed. Service was beyond slow, and when we asked for plates to eat the mixed meat dish we ordered, the staff looked at us like we were from another planet. Everything took forever. When the food finally arrived, it was awful — overly spicy, poorly cooked, and absolutely not worth the wait. And the cherry on top? They charge an extra €3 fee if you pay with a Mastercard, whether debit or credit. Seriously? That’s outrageous. This place is falling apart — terrible food, awful service, and shady payment policies. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Never...
