Everything went well, we had 14 people at our table and not one complaint from anybody about anything. Food and service was excellent, they even allowed us to split the bill 14 ways without any trouble. Overall great night.

Lovely service, and not a long wait for food. Spinach and artichoke dip was very tasty. The Memphis Pork ribs were a bit fatty and the meat fell off the bone but in other parts were tough. We were expecting the ribs to be a rack of ribs but instead the rack was cut in half. The Pork belly had great smoky flavour but it was dry. It’s a pity the pork skin wasn’t crackly either. The complimentary corn bread had a nice light kick to it. The classic buffalo wings had a nice zingy flavour but even though it had 1 chilli next to it on the menu, we could hardly taste any chilli. All in all we enjoyed our dining experience. However we prefer the ribs at Ribs and Rump in Fortitude Valley.

We’ve been coming to Smoke for years and the food has been consistently good. A group of 5 of us shared honey soy wings and mild buffalo wings, which were crispy and delicious. Two of us tried the smoked pork ribs, one had two of the Texas beef ribs and the other two had burgers. We also shared an entree serve of crispy delicious onion rings as a side. In each case, the meat was beautifully cooked, especially the beef ribs, where the meat just fell off the bone. The chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. Their coleslaw is tangy and not too creamy, the perfect foil for all that meat! The service was good, but I’ve taken off one star because the young waiter spilled cherry coke on my daughter. Perhaps a bit of practice carrying full glasses on a tray is in order. We also found their dessert offerings to be a bit rich and heavy. After eating those enormous meals I couldn’t stomach brownies or apple pie. We went around the corner and bought gelati cones instead. The Smoke Barbecue is a great place for a delicious, casual meal where you can rely on authentic recipes, quality ingredients and quick and efficient service.

The food is amazing; and service was second to none. I can highly recommend the pulled pork and my husband loves the buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese dressing. Also supporting other local businesses, the Smoke BBQ is a family favourite with us!

Good restaurant, but it’s dodgy that you ask for a rating out of 6. These speakers go up to 11 so they must be better

This place has horrible service, we had to wait 15 minutes to even get water to the table after asking twice and having to even check there was table service, they blamed the fact it was "busy" but the restaurant wasn't even full & the food was also very average for what we paid - would not go back or recommend to anyone!

Nick T.6 years ago · 1 review

Bad service and the food was WAY overpriced for what you got. Tried it out since it was listed as a top 50 restaurant, but was highly disappointed and wouldn't consider it a top 50. They give you cornbread, but instead of having smaller pieces so that everyone gets one, they expect you to cut up and share. So silly. Not even close to authentic american bbq. No american BBQ place would have such cold service to what was provided
