We'd just left Red Lodge Farm Raw Milk after restocking them with our Beetroot, Turmeric and Ginger juices. I googled restaurants near me and the Smokehouse came up. The name and bio sounded just like something I'd really like. We were not disappointed. We shared the Yorkshire pudding burger. . . It was awesome. Service was very good and the price very reasonable.

Standard food, a lot is deep fried and the oil needed changing as everything was dark brown and crispy. Came for tapas and was rather underwhelmed, sauces tasted straight for a jar.

Good food and very good service. Wouldn't say it was the best, most authentic bbq in the UK but scratched an itch.

Meat was very tasty, which really is the only pro. None of the waiters were very attentive. We visited Saturday night, there was no atmosphere unfortunately. They automatically add a service charge on which I dislike. I would have takeout food, but wouldn’t visit again.

Smokehouse is the hidden American barbecue gem in Wakefield. Honestly from the food, drinks to the ambience, you get yum and relaxation, just the kind of mellow everyone needs for date night or lunch date

Nice food but … A good menu and nice food at £20 - £30 a head. However, our table was booked for 7pm and the food did not arrive until 8.30, by which time we were a little disappointed. Admittedly, we were a large group and the food is cooked fresh, however 1 ½ hours is a long time to wait and longer than other smaller restaurants with similar staffing levels.

Nice selection of specials on the board as well as an interesting menu. 3 chose the burgers of differing varieties all thoroughly enjoyed and I had the chicken shawarma which was absolutely delicious can highly recommend.

The food here is amazing, but unfortunately again the service has let it down. Came for Father’s Day, service slow, tapas served without plates, and then came to ask if we were finished when we were still sat with knife and fork in hand. Father’s Day, 4pm not even that busy… just little bits that are noticeable. However, the food is worth it…

Had a meal today for Father's day. Was disappointed. Looks beautiful, the decor is lovely. My husband chose the Full Monty burger. This was very small. A tiny pot of coleslaw and a few chips. My daughter and I had 5 different dishes of tapas. The food was nice and tasty but very small portions. We had to ask for a plate each and thought the staff where very inexperienced. The prices are on the high side, which we don't mind as long as the food and experiences match, but sadly they don't. We have come away still hungry! Unfortunately we won't be returning.

Found this place for a spot of lunch. We were the first ones in. The place was beautiful, clean, and definitely had a good feel place to it. The service was quick. The bartender and the waiter were both helpful. There were so much to choose from the menu (see photos) they gave us reccomendations on what meal was a fan favourite etc. We ordered: "Nachos" to start with then"The Full House" burger and "The Chicken and Halloumi" Burger. (See Photo's attached) Absolutely incredible!! Tender, Tasty fully stacked goodness. I was blown away with it. The portion sizes were generous for an 18 stone man it filled me really well. The price is standard, it's not cheap but it's not expensive either but the quality is definitely worth the money. I could not discredit the food here from start to finish. I would highly recommend coming here with family and friends if you fancy a meaty feast bonanza.

Really pleasantly surprised. The food was fantastic, particularly the pulled pork croquettes and Korean chicken burger (closely followed by the belly pork). Service was attentive and friendly. The interior didn't seem to match the food on offer, and the both seats we were in just seemed to cut you off from the remainder of the restaurant. It was also quite cold inside, which my wife and kids didn't particularly like. We would 100% revisit and recommend.

Visited for the first time yesterday and will definitely return. I went for the BBQ combo of Brisket and Pulled Pork and my friend had the Rack of Ribs. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, really tender and full of flavour. Both of us opted for the Banoffee Pie for dessert. You definitely get your money's worth with the portions served. Staff were really welcoming, and overall a really good dining experience.

It was our 1st time and safe to say won't be the last, a great vibe from the get go. The service was great, atmosphere was super chill but most of all the food was excellent value for money. Would highly recommend the brisket, belly pork & cracking with the hand cut chips (propper lush) as well as the Smoke house pilsner which was clean, crisp and refreshing. Our bill came to £51 which for 2 plates of food and 2 drinks I don't think is bad at all. We will be back!!!!!

We chose Smokehouse for lunch and were greeted on arrival by a lovely, polite and friendly staff member. He gave us time to peruse the food and drinks menus, took our drink orders quickly and let us decide what we wanted to eat. My boyfriend went for the Full House burger and I had a BBQ combo platter. The meat was all fresh, well seasoned and beautifully cooked. The chicken wings without bones are chicken tenders, not boneless wings but to be honest, they were so good it really didn’t matter! I highly recommend the salt, chilli and garlic flavour and would come back just for those! I’m really surprised at the reviews about bad service as it definitely was not the experience we had at all, albeit that we came on a quiet Wednesday lunchtime rather than a busy Friday or Saturday night. It was quiet but we were not made to feel rushed nor did we feel like we were ignored and left to our own devices for too long. Definitely would be back again next time we’re in Wakefield and would recommend.

We arrived to be greeted by quite a rude member of staff in charge who was quick to inform us we had an hour and a half before he needed our table back. Upon getting seated, drink orders were taken and didn't arrive for 15 minutes. When we reminded the same guy we hadn't had our drinks, he rolled his eyes and said 'yea I know. We are busy.' There were 6 tables!! Food arrived and was mediocre. Ribs were full of fat that hadn't been trimmed and consequently veins and blood vessels that hadn't been removed. We were upset to have paid £65 to leave hungry and still end up needing to eat again. Definitely won't be returning, quality/quantity are not reflected in the inflated prices

Lovey staff and atmosphere, we we're a little bit disappointed with some of the the meals. The burgers, I think was a frozen patties, very dry, the price didn't reflect this. The chicken resembles a greasey deep fried fish. But the pulled pork, and brisket very very nice. I was told the ribs were excellent. But we weren't put off as there are many other items we would like to try (looking at other tables)

Decided to try a new smoke house as we normally go to hickorys. Sorry but for the price the food was very average. We got bao buns and at that price, 2 really small buns with little to not much filling and no sauce inside is pretty pathetic. We also got the fish tacos again , very poor. It wasn't a taco at all, it was some kind of small flat bread the same size as the bao bun, again with no filling and half of the ingredients missing. It isn't a taco so don't label it as a taco and for £8.50 it's daylight robbery. We got the beef brisket which had no flavour and came on the plate all wet. It didn't really taste like much and I had to ask for some bbq sauce to put on it. The louisiana ribs were good but again not much flavour as I was expecting. Service was poor but it was during the holidays so we didn't mind so much but we never got asked for drinks or anything else. But servers pleasant and polite. Looked understaffed. Not their fault. Place itself is really nice, good decor and clean. All in all for the quality of food and prices you charged for it we won't be venturing back.

I’ve visited this place once before and the food was spot on, service was great and drinks was spot on. This time however, terrible. When we first arrived we weren’t greeted with as little as a Hello, to then to told we only had an hour and half at our table. Poor attitude. In the hour and half we were given, from ordering drinks and receiving them, was 25 minutes. My partner then had to go ask a member of staff to take our food order to which he had a reply of “we are very busy” again poor impolite attitude. We then received the food, personally in my opinion I’ve cooked better salmon myself and the noodles were way over done and went clumpy and stuck together. When I questioned this to the member of staff, yes, she’s tried to resolve the issue but again stinking attitude. This visit was a version of events that I didn’t like and unfortunately I will not be visiting again because of this. All in all, the food was not worth the price.

As a regular Trip Advisor contributor, I always try to be honest and fair with reviews. We have visited the Smokehouse venue many times as a group of 6 adults and have always had a great time and the reviews have been very positive. ! Unfortunately someone has dropped the ball and last nights visit was painfully slow and unremarkable. Whilst we were seated very quickly, we were unfortunately placed next to a table of about 16 who appeared to have a “No Volume” button which was painful and became worse as the night progressed. Not the venues vault but it just adds to a poor night. The main reason for the visit was to eat one of their fabulous Fillet steaks! So how do you think you’d feel, when told that they had run out of that steak? The only option left was the “Ribeye” which was ok but had the associated lines of gristle/fat which instead of melting in the mouth, were of the type that crunched and grinded when chewed which isn’t a nice experience. The rest of the starters and food was good! I asked the manager (?) how could a steak house not have enough for a busy Saturday night. I was told it wasn’t a steak house but a “smokehouse”. I asked him again and he shrugged his shoulders at me in a “who cares manner” The two young waitresses need to listen and had to keep coming back to clarify orders. Instead of standing at one end of the table, walk down to each person so you can hear them. One of them repeatedly kept returning to ask if they could remove plates etc but there was still food on the plates being eaten. Now I know fresh food has to be cooked but we were sat for ages just waiting for the food and the gap inbetween the starters and mains was just too long. Now I don’t usually remark as such on the prices…but….come on £10.50 for a glass of white wine is just too much. The steak was definitely not worth the £27 asking price on this occasion. Overall and taking in everything from the night, it’s “off” the “revisit” list for a good while. I hope it’s a one off, as previous visits have been excellent. When people just shrug their shoulders at you and come out with a lame excuse, you can tell it’s not their venue.

We booked a table because the reviews read well and the photos made the food look good, however, that’s where it ended. The staff were great, helpful and polite but the food was very disappointing and the restaurant was in need of a good clean (toilets in particular) and new plates as both ours were chipped. I ordered the meat combo of belly pork & beef brisket, what came resembled a large slice of beef and a cut of Porchetta with tinned pit beans, my partner ordered Moroccan lamb which resembled a lamb casserole and was served moderately warm and the cherry bakewell cocktail certainly wasn’t made from scratch. We realised it wasn’t a proper American smoke house given the rapid arrival to the table of our food, unfortunately we certainly won’t be visiting again.

Came with big family party for my birthday. Extremely disappointed, starters were ok but all came at different times, had to ask a waitress where one was as everyone else had finished theirs and she just looked absolutely clueless as to why we were talking to her. New waiter didn’t even know what dishes he was bringing out and looked at us to answer for him, fair enough he’s new but come on, train your staff the basics. Didn’t get free bottle of wine even though we ordered tapas. One blonde girl walking around just playing with her hair and we didn’t understand the point in her being there, she didn’t do a thing all night, she just looked like she’d got lost. We didn’t get asked if we wanted a drink the whole night, had to keep asking where our mains were, an hour and 45 minutes later they arrived and my ‘jerk’ chicken burger was so bad, the bread sopping wet and falling to bits and the chicken was just plain chicken breast with none of the crap cut off it and slightly seasoned. the ‘manager’ said this was cause the chef had put ‘loads of sauce on it’ but there was no sauce at all, bone dry chicken, didn’t put any spicy sauce in like I asked and when I requested it they brought me a squeezey bottle to do it myself. Cajun chips came plain and when we told them they just sprinkled some Cajun seasoning just on the top, meat was all fatty and sparse on the bbq combo dish, boneless chicken wings were just chicken tenders!!?? The ribs had no meat on at all literally just bone, curry was cold and plain with no flavour to it at all. Everything bang average, staff unbelievably immature, very badly trained with no customer service skills or communication skills. The managers response when we told him all this was ‘I can only apologise’ so we had to request for money to be knocked off our bill, which they did- fair enough but we had to really push for this. Feels like they hire very young staff and don’t bother training them. Honestly a very, very poor experience and would never go back or recommend to anyone. Don’t ignore the bad reviews they’re all very accurate. The only member of staff I appreciated tonight was the girl with the dark hair who first took our order, she was the only one with any customer service skill or any sense.

We came in last weekend as a group of 4 and the place and food was brilliant. The service from the bar man (largish guy with a ponytail) was to be desired. One of our party ordered another rum and coke but it came in a very large glass with lots if coke in. He was asked to take it back and bring one in a small glass with less coke like the previous one. We watched him go back to the bar and pour half of the big glass into a small glass and then fetch it back! We sent it back and asked for a complete new drink which he wasn't happy about. If we were paying for a double rum we wanted a double rum. We had two girls serving us our food. One of which only looked young but was fantastic and knew the foods when asked what she recommended. The other girl who called herself Lana, was friendly and chatty telling us about uni and wanting to become a civil servant and moving to London. When it came to paying the bill I asked about tips and if they went to individuals. Lana told us that if we paid on card the tips went to all the staff but if we paid cash it went to individual staff. So I decided to give each of the girls £10 each in cash as a tip and gave it to Lana and she said she would pass it on onto the other girl who I didn't catch the name of. She went back to the till and seemed to pass the money to the guy at the bar who had brought the drink. We didn't think anything of it at the time But then the initial girl was passing us and we called her over to let her know we had passed on the £10 tip just for her. She was shocked, thanked us with a really big smile and went straight over to Lana and asked her for it. Lana shook her head and said something and walked off. The four of us at our table had watched it all and to say I was fuming was and understatement. My husband laughed and told me I had clearly just been scammed and thats why he doesnt like leaving tips for anyone. We were leaving at this point and my husband didnt want me to cause a scene as the restaurant so I said nothing and left. My point is enjoy the food, watch the drinks are full measures and are what you ordered and DO NOT leave tips as you have no idea where its going!!!

Absolutely amazing atmosphere and the table service was 100% the only thing that let our experience down was the meat and the quantity and quality. We assumed the meat would be smoked meat with it been called the smokehouse, unfortunately we were disappointed as it wasn't smoked meat, it was as though the meat had just been slowly cooked in an oven. The meat didn't seem of great quality, I've bought ribs with more meat on them in a supermarket so that was also disappointing, maybe my expectations were a little high to begin with, I don't know. Don't get me wrong, the meat was nice and full of flavour but the only reason we booked the meal was because we assumed it was a proper smokehouse. We have eaten smoked meat all over the world including Las Vegas, we didn't expect it to be like some of the top smoked house restaurants we've been to a previously, but we did expect it to be what it says on the tin so-to-speak. For this reason, we won't be re-visiting and was very disappointed in the price compared to proper smokehouses we've been to previously that were legit. We found it very over priced for the lack of. If you like BBQ style restaurants and amazing cocktails however, I'd recommend this place for you. The atmosphere and decor was amazing and the staff were very accommodating, the restaurant is in a good place and easy to find. We did enjoy our experience but won't be re-visiting.

We visited Sunday lunchtime for a family birthday. The food was absolutely delicious, we had a variety of meals from the BBQ Combo to some tapas. All of it was lovely and the young girl that served us was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

The establishment was not particularly busy, so it was disappointing to have to wait a relatively long time for our drinks to be taken, our order was taken eventually and at no point did the waitress come and check on us, ask us if we wanted any more drinks. The food was amazing, which makes it even worse, as the chef and everyone behind the scenes making the great dishes to be let down by front of house. When the bill came, a disagreement ensued. My son ordered the kids cheeseburger, the waitress obviously assumed it was an adult meal, and then went on to argue with me. I’m sorry but don’t argue, talk back to the customer and make assumptions. She saw sense in the end and amended accordingly. If I lived in the local area I wouldn’t be going back because of the service. Shame really, as the food I couldn’t fault.

The building is beautiful inside, the lighting and the artificial flowers create a really nice atmosphere. When looking at the menu everything sounded really nice and was a tough decision to make. I got the big boi burger and my partner got the bbq combo we then got the spicy Mac and cheese as a side. Looking at the prices and the food amount that came out they didn’t reflect each other. I expected the burger to be bigger and more chips than what was there. The bbq combo came out on 2 separate plates, the meats on one and the sides on another which made this dish look extremely bare. Again expected a little more meat and a lot more chips. The spicy Mac and cheese, the taste of it was lovely the pasta needed longer cooking. It wasn’t al dente it was hard, my partner couldn’t eat it. Overall I would rush back, a shame really.

The staff and service was excellent. I had the chicken salad as a main, and was truely surprised by the amount of chicken. The dish came with a would chicken breast cut in half. The salad and dressing complimented the dish, though I think a little bit of avocado would have just finished it off. My partner had the coconut lime prawns as a starter, and although the prawns were tasty, they lacked any coconut. For desserts we had a baileys white chocolate cheesecake which was very tasty. I had the chocolate meltdown which was superb.

Our waitress was very sweet but we were sat waiting for food for almost 2 hours with no one checking in or letting us know when it would be out. It was nice when it came but we weren’t offered anything for the fact we waited that long, which could’ve made up for it.

Let's face it, this place is excellent. Food is great, staff are friendly, music is wall to wall bangers. Good show, guys. 2023 update: revisited and had possibly the greatest rack of ribs ever. Absolutely superb. Cocktails are spot on also.
