Great food and good service. The Smoke has consistently had some of the best American BBQ in Brisbane. If you're looking for some authentic American BBQ, do yourself a favour and get your bean in there.
Great food,excellent service,right up there with the best wings and ribs and the service from all the staff was excellent and helpful .Also a fine range of international beers.
We have been going to Smoke for years as the food and experience is always very good. For locals, 'Smoke' has become a bit of an institution.
The food was good not great, the service was good, not great. The price was a bit high but considering it is New Farm you expect prices to be inflated. There was no ambiance or atmosphere in the establishment and the tables were packed in. It felt like being in a feed lot.
Food tasted great but the serving size was much smaller than usual . The loaded fries were on a much smaller plate then two weeks before. The beef ribs only had one beef rib. The week before we went in it had two .13$ for a very small quesadilla as well. The pork belly had three very thin slices of pork. The two men were still hungry after ordering a entree and their main . Very a regular customer we were disappointed with how small those four items were. The rest of the meal was great and it all tastes good.
Amazing food!! I left so satisfied that it hurt. The only thing I found a struggle was the noise. We will definitely be back but requesting an outside table. Thanks for an amazing meal!
Good American BBQ down under. The spicy cornbread is great, and the addition of cinnamon to the mac and cheese was unexpected but quite good.
The food was great but really poor service. It feels like they want us to each and leave straight away. They didn't even gave us the menu for desserts or ask if we would like more drinks or anything else.
Excellent slow-cooked meats and a nice atmosphere. Good service. Mac cheese is amazing although the portion is a little small. Could do with more vegetables on the side. Overall very good.
Delicious! Best American BBQ we have had in Brisbane. Delicious cocktails too. Already planning to come back. So much food as well so i have leftovers for today!
The BBQ meat was absolutely delicious. I have been to a lot restaurants where they have ribs Smoke house is the best by far. Thank you
Food was delicious and staff are always amazing. Humbling experience watching the VM/ Owner? Escorting a blind man to a table and making friendly conversation with him to ensure he felt safe and welcome by explaining the menu and his surroundings. Very impressed
We really enjoyed our time at this restaurant. The food was delicious and we were served it surprisingly quickly. And our meals came out at the same time which was a great job considering we were a party of nine. The service was very friendly and professional. We will definitely be back again.
Service and food was great. Pricing reasonable with a wide variety to choose from to suit all palates. Very casual dining and when we told them we had to be at the theatre at a certain time - they made sure we were fed and finished very quickly.
Service was sparatic. Our starters of buffalo wings and quesadillas. (Wouldn't get them again) We got the rib platter to share (which was absolutely beautiful) that came with two sides (mac & cheese and onion rings). The mac & cheese was flourly and tasteless. And the onion rings were oily and half cooked. If we go again we'll get the platter with two sides of salad.
High quality food, hefty prices, but it is worth it. Decent atmosphere & service. Their buffalo wings were to die for, and the pork and beef had good flavour, and nice and smoky. Maybe a little dry in places, but quite moist overall. It is spicy, but we don't mind that. Very good overall.
Food was excellent, as always Service was excellent, as always $1 wings was outstanding Once again a great night at The Smoke BBQ. See you soon
Able to book online with ease. Great ribs - pork with special spicy sauce a fantastic special which I've now had TWICE!! . Super friendly service. Staff are AMAZING!!!
My wife and I Absolutely loved our experience for our wedding anniversary was absolutely amazing food highly recommend big hit was the $1 chicken wings got to ❤️ that very happy customer ⭐️
Food, portion size and service was pretty good, just the place lacks a bit of Americana atmosphere. Brisket was well flavored and the ribs we tasty. Only letdown was the mac and cheese.
It was easy to get a park. Great location. The waiters were friendly and helpful. Such a great environment. The food was so yummy. I would definitely recommend eating here.
Friendly and quick service. Food was good but not exceptional and seemed pricey for what you get. Also seated beside road which is not the most attractive spot.
My family and I enjoyed a great meal. The service was excellent and very friendly. Looking forward to returning to The Smoke Bbq. Thanks guys.
The food and service was good. The main problem was where we were seated in an outside area near the car park. Very much felt like an add on area, really loud and felt cramped. Had a lovely view of cleaning products or the walk way to the public toilets. It was a shame as if I was inside or even out the front I would have had a completely different review
Great food, my only complaints were they forgot the corn bread and no apple pie after 9pm on a Friday night, which was a bit sad.
Food was excellent. Staff were great. Love the corn bread. Lamb serving was a little small but cooked to perfection. Highly recommend a visit to Smoke.
Absolutely Awesome atmosphere and excellent food!! Best meal I've had in a very long time. The smoked flavours really come out amazingly. The cocktails were amazing and the selection of special beers was unlike any I've seen.
Food was fantastic! Especially the brownie for dessert best way to finish. Will definitely be going back when we get the chance to. Thank you for a great night
Always wonderful. Great service, great food and comfortable setting. I love that they let you take home left overs, lunch for the next day sorted
Extremely poor wine list and restaurant is not BYO. We were not advised pork rib special was available. Booked table was not immediately available on arrival
The Smoke has a fantastic atmosphere in the quaint New Farm area. Even more fantastic is their New Orleans inspired theme and hospitality mixed with classic southern United States BBQ. I couldn't recommend this place enough! Highly recommend the complementary corn bread, onion rings, pulled pork platter, mac and cheese and the pumpkin pie.
We were disappointed in this place. Food was ok but overpriced for what it is. I wouldn't go back or recommend. Waitress was pleasant and helpful.
Very noisy, hard to talk and hear. Meat a bit tough tough. Meal presentation very basic. Rather warm room - improve air conditioning. Did not leave with a WOW factor - actually glad to get out the place. Very average.
Service was good, as it should be with a table of 17 people and mid-week. The food was only okay. Meals are small and expensive - e.g. 4 pork ribs (not even a half rack) with 2 pieces of corn (nothing else!!) for $29. Pulled pork and coleslaw was $21. Coleslaw had no flavour at all. I doubt we will be back.
Food was lovely! We stayed long after our meals were consumed and we weren't asked to leave - very thankful for this. The service was great.
The food was phonominal. Best dinner we have ever had. Will definately be going back. The wings were just out of this world amazing. The staff were absolutely wonderful and we had a great night. Thanks.
The restaurant is neat and tidy but in a worn condition. Some of the tables squeak and lean and the seats very worn. The food for the most part is very well cooked and flavoursome. Servings are quite large. The service we had was good. We didn't get interrupted every 5 minutes while we were in the middle of eating (which is a pet hate). They have doggy bags to take your left over food home. Wasn't too hard to find a park in a nearby street in the early hours of the night.
Watched the food channel all day my mouth was salivating and was not disappointed when I arrived at The Smoke BBQ. Read a few bad reviews so naturally was a bit sceptical but boy was it good. Great service, Friendly Staff, Beautiful Food, Good Atmosphere altogether perfect BBQ experience. Even got to take home the leftovers for Brioche Buns today. Don't listen to the reviews and give it a go guys, everyone has a different opinion.
Fast service, delicious food, friendly staff. All the things you need to ensure patrons come back again. It was Tuesday night and there was not a spare table to be seen.
food is good, but have to wait more than an hour to taste it. waitress apologised five minutes before food came out. don't think it is worth it.
Great food,best authentic american food and especially the smoked meat was delucious!!Nice service,patient and helpful!Good place and best american food around !Great place to eat 👍😊
Great place to eat! We loved the Brisket and the Chicken - wings.
Amazing every time, definitely worth the 50 minute drive! Only disappointment is that the servings seemed to have shrunk a little. Still had SO much food though and left extremely satisfied.
Amazing American food and the staff friendly. We will be back
Not crowded for a Saturday lunch. Service was good. Food was delicous. Texan spare ribs great. Enjoyed the experience. Parking available in the shopping centre.
Good food, Good service. Starving ones self would be most beneficial to fit in the meals. Portion size is most bodacious. Easily located in a beautfiul suburb.
As always, the food was outstanding and the service perfect. There's a lot of places around that claim to be genuine American BBQ but only The Smoke consistently delivers.
Tasty and Good! Great Service, did I mention Good Food? I have to write 25 words on this, but how do I go beyond the above praise? Oh wait, I just did! 😀 Best Ever!!!
Really good food. Fantastic service. Just a bit loud inside.
Great service and even better food, family friendly with enough options for all of the fussy eaters! Definitely will be returning, thanks Smoke for a lovely relaxed night out.
