Food was really delicious! Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys American BBQ food. Only complaint would be the drinks there is limited variety of choice.

Texas beef short ribs were great. Fries were perfectly cooked! Dad really enjoyed the southern burger too. We will be back for more very soon

1 hour to get a round of drinks - and poor service the rest of the night - food is nothing special. Ribs were cold.

Love the beef short ribs ! Great customer service. Was seated immediately and food arrived quickly. The vibe was comfortable and fun, don't feel to nervous to hook into the ribs.

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.

Excellent food! The rib share combo was plenty of food for the 2 of us and the kids. Fantastic service, will definitely come back. Need to try the wings and brisket.

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.

Meal was good, onion rings were a bit oily but meat (pulled pork) was great as was the apple pie. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Very happy with the smoke BBQ overall.

We go to this place regularly and it is always delicious. The best BBQ in Brisbane and possibly the best wings in Australia. It's definitely a favourite.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.
