THE SOW BAR & GRILL

You'll find yourself on Hill Top in West Bromwich at a place that takes its meat seriously. This isn't trying to be fancy—it's a straightforward grill that knows what it does and does it well. The kitchen's focused on steaks cooked right, which means you're getting something worth the trek from Oldbury or Smethwick. There's a real neighbourhood feel here, the kind of spot where locals keep coming back because the food's consistent and you're not getting mugged off on price either. With nearly 500 reviews sitting at 4.3 stars, people clearly trust what's happening in the kitchen.
