Loved the Texas short ribs here. Great onion rings & tasty chicken wings. It was a great night out & our Canadian friend was delighted with his birthday celebration.

Meat eaters paradise, the Texas Short Ribs still remain a family favourite. Not for the Vegetarians, beware apparently you are "Bad Hunters" the walls told me so.

Really casual atmosphere, the chicken wings were crunchy on the outside and tender in the middle and the ribs were really tasty. Great service too and a good drinks menu

Over prices for the serving size of food. $27 for 1 rib , I was expecting a rack of at least 3 bones and $22 for 3 slices of pork belly that was a centimeter thick isn't really the American stylle $103 dollars later and still feeling hungry .. On a positive their hurricane wings was nice

The restaurant serves great food, and has a good cocktail list, staff is nice but it is not a place to linger after eating. It lacks atmosphere and feels like an upmarket fast food place. We came to dinner at 6 and we're out by 7.15. Super efficient but it didn't feel like a night out.

If you want great barbecue, this is definitely your place. Bring your mates, bring your mom, bring that lazy eyed lady from the grocery store. Let them experience sheer barbecue bliss.

The food was absolutely amazing! But the service was a bit confusing. You order one beer and they bring two. You order a Coke without ice and they bring one Coke with ice and a minute later you get the rest of the can they used to top up your glass. You order corn as a side and you get salad. It was certainly entertaining experience. I look forward to the next time.

Great food, seems staff keep changing and we found our waitress to be over the top with regards to taking plates before some in our group had finished eating. Yet when we wanted to order not around. Can't stand that hovering

The food was lovely (my ribs were slightly dry though), but we were both a little disappointed with the service. I realise we were a late booking (8:30), but we felt like we were in the way and a bit of a burden to be honest. I'm sure it's just because it was busy but it didn't make a very pleasant dining experience.

yum , yum, yum. We stumbled unawares into Wednesday $1 wings & $5 beers. Great start. Gigantic Onion rings were tender and crunchy all at once. Beef short ribs was a slab of meat that slid of the bone and was soft and smokey. Staff were freindly creating a family atmosphere and reasonable value for money. Food is rich, flavoursome and full on, Easy to over order.

Literally the greatest restaurant. Fantastic staff, and superb and delicious food. The meat is always so delicious and tender - it falls off the bone. Chips are perfect, onion rings like no other, and tasty slaw. Not to mention the pumpkin pie! What a fantastic night. Worth every cent.

As a family of 4, we dined on a Friday night. The service was excellent- could not be faulted. Food came fast & staff were friendly and efficient. The ribs were tender (meat falling off the bone) & pork belly crispy and full of flavour. Meal sizes were large so we selected a few dishes to share.

Long time Smoke customer here. The blue hot wings and chicken ceegars were great as usual, but the thick cut pork ribs were unusually dry and the meat didn't have the flavour that it used to. It's sad that the food quality here seems to have decreased over the past year or two, as it used to be one of my favourite places to eat. :(
