If you ever find yourself in Aberdeen craving a feast that speaks to both your soul and your stomach, Smoke And Soul At The Firepit is where your hunger story should begin. Tucked away on Littlejohn Street inside the vibrant Six Degrees venue, this place doesn’t just serve food-it throws your taste buds a full-blown smoke-infused party.
What immediately sets Smoke And Soul At The Firepit apart is its unapologetic devotion to all things bold, smoky, and satisfyingly messy. The kind of joint where sauce on your hands and gravy on your fries is part of the dress code. You walk in and you’re met with the warm hum of casual diners, solo foodies, and even the occasional office crew elbow-deep in loaded fries and brisket. It’s laid-back, easy-going, and unapologetically indulgent.
Let’s start with the Smashed Burger with Beef Dripping and Gravy. It’s a heavyweight champ in the burger world-double patties smashed just right, rich with caramelization, and dripping (literally) in that beefy golden nectar they call gravy. Pair it with Garlic Chicken Dirty Fries and you’ve got yourself a combo that doesn’t ask for permission to impress.
Craving a shareable starter? The Nachos here don’t hold back. Stacked high, smothered in cheese, and topped with salsa, they make the ideal prelude to any soul-food adventure. And if you’re after full-on carnivore satisfaction, the Short Ribs come slow-cooked, sticky, and fall-off-the-bone tender-a dish that practically demands a cold beer in the other hand. Speaking of which, this place isn’t called The Firepit for nothing. Their great beer selection is a highlight in itself, with raspberry beer standing out for those looking to balance bold bites with a refreshingly fruity finish.
Vegetarians, fear not-you’re not just tolerated here, you’re celebrated. The Chipotle Bean Chili is proof that meatless doesn’t mean tasteless. It’s smoky, spiced just right, and ideal when loaded over fries or eaten as is. For something more fusion-inspired, the Korean BBQ Brisket Loaded Fries will stop you in your tracks. The contrast of spicy-sweet glaze, tender brisket, and crispy fries is what food dreams are made of.
Now, if you’re the kind of diner who wants a bit of salad to pretend you're being virtuous, the Texas BBQ Chicken Salad might just be the loophole you’re after. It’s fresh, crunchy, and packed with that BBQ flavor that keeps you coming back for “just one more bite.”
Every dish feels handcrafted, not in a fussy, fine-dining way, but in the sense that someone back there genuinely cares that you’re fed well. The Macaroni and Cheese is creamy, comforting, and big on portion. The Peppercorn Poutine adds a rich, peppery punch to golden fries, while classics like the Hamburger Deluxe keep things familiar for those craving an old-school experience.
Accessibility is clearly considered here too. With a wheelchair-accessible entrance, seating, and toilet, it’s a space where everyone can join in the flavor party without hassle. Whether you’re dining solo, grabbing takeaway, or opting for a no-contact delivery (yes, they do that too), the options are all in place to suit every type of appetite and schedule.
Inside, the vibe is casual but with that unmistakable buzz that only comes from a place where the kitchen knows it’s killing it. Private dining rooms are available if you’re celebrating something special or just want to feast like royalty without prying eyes. And don’t forget, they serve spirits, cocktails, and wine too-because what’s a plate of cheesy fries without a cheeky drink to match?
Smoke And Soul At The Firepit is more than just a name-it’s an invitation. To eat with your hands. To savor every bite. To chase that perfect balance of smoke, spice, and satisfaction that only a true soul kitchen can deliver.
