Six°North / Smoke & Soul — Restaurant in Aberdeen City

Solo diner mid week looking to try something local and different to the 'other' Aberdeen brewery...

The on-tap beer selection was wide and the food looked really tasty on the menu too and reading about the company got me amped for a good meal.

The weissen was crisp and fresh, unfortunately the food was anything but. The buffalo chicken sandwich was cold and soggy, and really un-buffalo-y, both the fries and tomato salsa with the jalapeño poppers were plain bland. The jalapeño poppers themselves were better, crispy and hot.

Admittedly, I was starving, so ate most of it but should have spoken up sooner. When asked how it was at the end, I shared this with my server and he (Euan I believe) took it on, I heard him share this with the kitchen and we resolved it there and then. Absolute asset to your business.

It was quiet but I liked the style of the place, bet it's pretty good on the weekends and for events etc. (The music playing whilst I was there was really on point!)

Wish the place every success (hence the 4 stars), but recommend they up the food QC and maybe...

Raw chicken burger, cold mac & cheese tatter tots instead of fries which i ordered 🤦🏻‍♂️ Waited 30mins for my takeaway. Needed to go ask what was happening with my food and was told they had made it already but it went cold so they were making me a new one. Got it 10mins later. Took it away but then seen I had tatter tots instead of fries. The mac and cheese was cold, took 2 bites of the chicken burger and then tasted and seen it was raw.

Very disappointing. I've been to smoke and soul a few times and alway had a good meal but after that tonight I...

Superb meal. Probably the best burger I've ever had, and a phenomenal range of beers, with abv ranging from 0.5% to an eye-popping 14.5%. My wife went for a selection of small plates and was equally impressed.

The night we were in there was a DJ playing some great vinyl at a very conversation-friendly level. Staff were really chilled (in a good way) and genuinely friendly.

The place feels like a real labour of love and hopefully it prospers for many years to come.

If you appreciate good beer and/or soul food then we'd highly...
