Lovely, friendly service. Food was delicious, & the portions generous. The road noise if you're outside is a bit intrusive but can't be helped. Will definitely be back!!

We ordered ribs. The sauce that the house made was amazing, as were the chips. But the meat itself had no flavour whatsoever. It was fatty and bland. So once the sauce was gone it was just like chewing rubber. Service was ok, however when I told the lady this she just smiled and said "oh okay". Food was fast to come out.

Delicious food, quickly served and great service. The share plates are a good option for groups. Highly recommend everything on their menu, a little pricey but worth it.

The Smoke is always a feast of Biblical portions, and something you should walk off for quite some kilometers! The place is small and the staff work hard and the quality of the food is consistent. I have been here many times and I have felt welcome but not to linger-it's not that sort of place as your seat is coveted by the next lot. In winter they have a bit more difficulty keeping the food warm, but nobody seemed to be bothered. The previous time I went it was Bastille Day, so I took a bottle of French wine but they quite firmly said no BYO. Hmm. Last night it was American Independance Day but there were no festivities to speak of, which I thought a bit sad. So, baseline, excellent, hearty food, service OK, venue OK, price OK. You should go.

Very disappointing that the pork and lamb ribs weren't available (the reason we went there) and then the apple pie wasn't available. The food was good but the reason we went was because it was my husband's birthday and he wanted good pork ribs. We booked on the day so they could have told us prior to arriving that there main menu items weren't going to be available.

Had a combo with Mac & onion rings. The beef ribs were sensational along with the sides. Slightly over-attentive staff, but it was worth stopping by.

As usual, Smoke BBQ provided incredibly tasty wings, loaded fries, and ribs. The blue cheese sauce for the buffalo wings is sublime and there is a wide selection of American beers which will keep any beer lover happy. As a fan of a good IPA, Smoke BBQ definitely delivers. Be sure to go with an empty stomach, serving sizes are generous and you'll want to finish everything you order because it tastes so great.

Food was good as usual, as well as the service. Port ribs were sold out when we arrived at 6:30, which was a bummer, hence 5 stars

Great service. Not good for groups when the bill can't be split so wouldn't recommend coming if your in a group. I have been serveral times but the beef ribs where really not up to scratch this time. All the other food good.

Music was Good and food fantastic flavours, a meat lovers paradise nothing green in sight. An awesome find. And save some room for awesome desserts too. My only disappointment was I really wanted pork ribs and they only have a limited supply so I will hope to try them next time.

Your wait staff were really nice, we're happy to make suggestions and we had a nice conversation as it was a quiet night. Unfortunately the food really was not very good at all. Did not feel authentic smoked BBQ, the sauce was average and the hot apple pie dessert just seemed like something you'd buy at Coles and reheat in the oven from frozen.

We had a lovely meal here, the portions were generous, the lady that served us was very promt and polite and the onion rings were the biggest and best that I have had. The condiments, rubs and smoke on the meat was all so flavoursome. We shared the BBQ tasting plate after small starters and we sadly could not finish it. Full bellies and big smiles.

Food was overpriced, not value for money. The chicken was dry, the mac and cheese was basic and tasteless, the pulled pork was bland, I can make a better one myself. In saying, the pork belly was probably the best I've ever had and the brisket was ok, not the best or worst but alright. Won't go back there again.

Lights were too bright Table service was good but we had 20 people all paying their own way, this caused issues at the end of the night. Suggest you allow for people to order and pay themselves.

Best BBQ place in Brisbane. The Smoke isn't the cheapest lunch option around, but you go there for the quality, not the value. Having said that, it's certainly not ridiculously priced. Really friendly staff as well.
