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.

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.

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, 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
