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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Really casual atmosphere, the chicken wings were crunchy on the outside and tender in the middle and the ribs were really tasty. Great service too and a good drinks menu

Over prices for the serving size of food. $27 for 1 rib , I was expecting a rack of at least 3 bones and $22 for 3 slices of pork belly that was a centimeter thick isn't really the American stylle $103 dollars later and still feeling hungry .. On a positive their hurricane wings was nice

If you want great barbecue, this is definitely your place. Bring your mates, bring your mom, bring that lazy eyed lady from the grocery store. Let them experience sheer barbecue bliss.

The restaurant serves great food, and has a good cocktail list, staff is nice but it is not a place to linger after eating. It lacks atmosphere and feels like an upmarket fast food place. We came to dinner at 6 and we're out by 7.15. Super efficient but it didn't feel like a night out.

Best chicken wings in Brisbane! However menu changed slightly so smaller portions of sides & no sides anymore with pork ribs. Slightly disappointing but food good as always
