    I first came to Mojo years ago and I'm happy to report that the years have been kind, possibly…read morekinder to Mojo than myself, as the place has retained all the charm and fun that it ever had. At the far end of the bar there is an art work describing 'Mojo' and throughout the decor of the bar gives off the essence of cool, without being arrogant. I've always found the staff to be vibrant and friendly and they're certainly expert in their knowledge of the drinks they serve. Be it cocktails or a continental beer they can advise you well, depending on your palette. The music is cool, with a great mix of inoffensive indie and electro. You can dance, albeit be it at your own risk, since the bar is small and often tightly packed! Drinks might be a little more on the expensive side, and they don't serve anything on tap (at least they never used to), but that has the bonus side-effect of enticing a good crowd into the bar. Coctktails and interesting beers are on the menu so you're spoiled for choice! So, prop up the bar, grab a window stool or nab a comfy seat at the back, either way you'll be certain to have a good time.

    Mojo is one of those unique gems that you either stumble upon, or are dragged to by someone else…read morewho has stumbled upon it. Hidden down a side street near Gatecrasher, Mojo is a tiny little bar that does everything it can to be different from anywhere else in Leeds - and it succeeds in this aspect. A wide selection of continental beers are on offer - you can choose your own, or simply leave it to the barman to decide by asking simply for a beer. They also offer spirits and wines with a similarly global feel, and play some absolutely quality tunes, old and new, spread across eclectic genres such as soul, indie and rock. Mojo isn't cheap, but it's something different from what the rest of Leeds has to offer, so I'd definitely recommend it if you've got the dosh.

    As an American traveling and spending time in the UK, I could not recommend this establishment…read moreenough. Truly amazing staff. Friendly and knowledgeable. Gave my wife and I multiple places to go check out while we are here. The hand rolled pizzas are legit. And if you are a fry lover, the pizza fry's are justified. Oh yeah, Comedy club downstairs a couple nights a week. We love locally owned pubs. Check it out. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

    We'd been attempting to go here since seeing the sister restaurant 'The Milestone' on Gordon's best…read morelocal Restaurant and the necessity to be in Sheffield Saturday evening presented the perfect opportunity. I had booked us in 5 weeks ago for 6pm and trust us to get lost! For anyone who knows Sheffield the road system is a nightmare! We did phone ahead and said we'd be 20 ish mins late and they were ok with it. We arrived and managed to get parked right outside on the street which is always a massive bonus. The place is pretty nondescript from the outside and it's a bit confusing over how you get in. Nonetheless we entered down a few stairs straight into the bar area, there were a few people in the bar but it wasn't busy as such. We were seated swiftly away from the bar area in a fairly rustic corner. The decor is a mix of modern yet shabby chic I'd say. Boards around show the offers available and the furniture is basic chairs with unpolished wood tables. We were presented with 3 menus, early bird, a la carte and seasonal- very confusing I must say! Our drinks order were taken while I'd escaped to the loo which was a trek in itself! Up a load of stairs so don't wait until you're desperate! The toilets weren't fantastic either- toilet roll all over the floor in one of the cubicles and quite sterile and faceless. I returned to the table and tried to choose what to have. I quite liked to look of the seasonal menu but in looking around didn't see anyone eating the food it featured- how odd. I asked one of the waitresses if it was being served and she said 'no'. No explanation or anything else. So, the Early bird menu it was £14 for 2 courses or £18 for 3. I chose:- Ham hock ballontine, minted pea and pancetta salad : followed by Seared bavette steak served rare, mashed potato, spring greens and beef jus the Mr ordered Chicken liver parfait and also the Bavette steak. I'd asked for my main cooked 'medium' and the waiter said ' you do know that will make your meat tough?' I thought his approach a little rude but merely dismissed him with a 'yes'. We managed to distract a waitress passing (no easy feat) to order some 'homemade pork crackling' while we waited. Our starters arrived quick enough and although nice, there was too much parfait and no bread or toast to accompany the ham hock which too the shine off things. Our plates were cleared in a timely manner but there was then a delay in getting our main course but no explanation was given. When our main was served, i asked which was the 'medium' and the waitress clearly didn't know, merely looked at the plates and pointed to the one she had set down in front of me and said 'that one'- it was no more well done than the one in front of Mr.!!! I also noted that my plate wasn't exactly clean- it was greasy and smeared around the edge but seeing as we'd waited longer than I thought necessary I just got on with it. By now the bar area had become crowded with a large party of people for a birthday so the noise level increased massively and they were all stood watching us eat- quite unnerving to say the least. The food was OK , not exactly hot and more rare than I would have dared elsewhere. We ate but I'd safely say we weren't blown away by the food, the service, the venue or any of the experience. When we finished we asked immediately for the bill- we were brought the one for the adjoining table and then ours a few minutes later. We paid the bill £33.70 which wasn't expensive in the slightest but we won't be making any special effort to return again. The atmosphere was strained, we had 3 different servers and feel that the whole place is lacking somewhat.

Came to this restaurant with a vegetarian friend who doesn't usually get to eat at BBQ restaurants, but the menu had a wide selection of alternatives. Meals were impeccable, would 10/10 eat again. The decor was fun and different, made me feel like I was eating at a diner in the deep depths of the South of USA. Will be back :)

The flavor and smokiness of the meats was spot on, and passed the "no sauce" test easily. All meats had a good smoke rinThe ribs were my favorite, followed by the chicken. The breast was tender and juicy, no dry at all. The brisket was satisfactory, good flavor, but I like it a bit fattier than what was put out. That's a very tough cut to get perfect, but it was perfectly edible as is. The sauces were god; complimented the meats well. This misses one star for the slaw. It is a Carolina style sweet & sour, but it wasn't quite sweet & sour enough. I applied some NC vinegar based bbq sauce, which improved it a lot. The staff was efficient and very pleasant, and provided great information about the food and restaurant. I'd come back, and will state for the record that this is true American style Smoked BBQ.

I wasn't a fan of the cocktail flight because it was a bit foamy, but I had better luck with the food. Had a steak special that was reasonably priced and cooked well with a side of broccolini. Enjoyed a salad to start off my meal that was light and fresh. I enjoyed the decor of the establishment with a fun bar area and you could watch the food being prepared. We started off with one waitress and finished our dining experience with a different waitress who was in training but she was very sweet. Overall enjoyable dining experience.

    Wonderful meal with wonderful service! Everything we had was really good to outstanding. I can't…read morerecommend the King Prawns enough. When it arrived I thought 'hmm shrimp is not as big as I'd have thought' but then I tasted it and the sauce, shrimp, bread and veggies together were one of the best shrimp dishes I've ever had. I even saved the left over sauce (had it put in a ramekin) and put it on my steak. It was that good. My wife got the pork chops special and it was good too but the beans that were served with it were spectacular. Beans??? I didn't know they could be spectacular. Truffle chips (fries) were quality too. The home made black sheep sticky toffee pudding was also a must try. Lastly, Gosia, our waitress, was knowledgeable and took great care of us. When we are in York, we will be back.
