Great place friendly staff lovely food

Wow wow what's not to live. Great choices of food big portions great prices

What can you say about smokey Joe's. Been coming here for years off and on. You will never have a bad word to say about this place. Wholesome foods at earthly prices. Thank you for standing the test of time.

Fantastic birthday meal for my fiance 😋 best roast and mixed grill in the area

Lush cafe. Trucks welcome and awsome food.

Great food its a transport cafe not a resturant , but quality food at a great price

Always good food , plenty of it and realistically priced

Fantastic home cooked food at reasonable prices. A total must visit place.

Great food wonderful staff .Never had a bad experience here great value for money .Can't wait to go again .Steak night is a must 😃

Cheap tasteless ingredients but quite abit of it. Coffee was weak. Toast came out cold af. Felt grotty rest of the day.

Let's get the bad out of the way... ... there we go. Now the good: fried bread was spot on. Ox pudding was fair, bacon and sausages were great. The tomato was very flavoursome. The beans were beans (proper tasting, not watered down bottom shelf stuff). The chips were sliced into 5mm discs, creating more surface area to fry and crisp. And the mushrooms were kindly separated into a dish specifically for me to give to my dad because I think they are disgusting as a general rule. One of the best full English breakfasts I've had in a while. Top stuff. Will be back.

Proper truckers cafe... Really good food...and they love dogs there...👍👍👍

Today the 28 December I took my family to smoky joes for lunch, the food and service was superb. Chicken curry I had was delicious. Thanks to all the staff and we wish you all a wonderful new year 😉

Yet again a fantastic breakfast! Whenever we travel to Cornwall, we visit at least once. Service is always excellent and the food is amazing! The staff are super friendly too! Totally recommend the Hungrymans Breakfast. The prices are very reasonable and the food is good quality.

Cosy and friendly staff. Breakfasts fit for a king.

Great atmosphere, great food served up in generous portions and staff are the best going.

The tea was cold. The food was pre cooked and served cold. Disappointed after travelling as far as I did. 1st time food was lovely but they wasn’t busy. So not a good move to go there during peak times.

Thank you to smokey Joes for making my son 12th Birthday meal so special. Everything was perfect ,food still is amazing

A proper place to have a proper breakfast.

Just got home from having lunch with the wife here at Smokey Joes in Scorrier Cornwall. I had the Cottage Pie & the wife had the Lasagne both of the specials board. beautiful, tasty ,well presented. & the Staff where very friendly. Advise people to come here especially if you are down in Cornwall on holiday. If local come here regularly . we will be back more often . Merry Christmas to all.

I went here with my family for a Birthday Breakfast. The staff were polite and accommodating, the food was prompt, fresh and more than ample amount of food on my plate, a wide open menu that catered for all dietary needs. Parking wasn't an issue and they even have EV charging there and an outdoor sheltered area for smokers, where you can if you so desire, have your food served out there on a table. Not my first visit, certainly not my last either. Keep up the good service y'all!

Stopped in a lay-by very close to here the other day based on multiple trucker recommendations and have to say I was very happy with the service. Food portion was massive and tasted brilliant too! Will definitely stop by here again in the future.

One of the best 😀 amazing food friendly staff and good location for road tripping around Cornwall

Alot better then last time as they explained the menu a lot better. The food was great the service was good 👍..shower is good in itself but poor in the condition..the parking is still very muddy. But to change my point of view a good spot .braised stead was stunning

Good value traditional greasy spoon cafe. Went for a standard full English breakfast for £10.10 including a mug of tea.

Had the large all day breakfast for just over 10 pounds. Fantastic meal, the sausages were great as was the fried bread. We took home some desserts and they were great too as they were home made too. Worth the trip out, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely brunch great service too

The service was excellent as was the food 100%,I went with friends for lunch ,I had a good old favourite Sausage ,egg,chips and beans ,my freind both had a full English, the food was piping hot and cooked to perfection ,the staff were helpful and freindly ,nothing was too much trouble I would highly recommend it to anyone ,it was good value as well. There is a comprehensive menu ,plus an excellent selection of cakes and pastries .Go give it a try. You won't be disappointed .

Dined here on a reccomendation whilst visiting Cornwall to see friends. First thing to note was how busy it was. I was there around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon. Very busy diner for a busy road with nothing much around and no surprise. They had a very extensive menu which isn't always a good thing. From T-Bone steak, lasagne, salads, paninis. sandwiches, breakfasts, roasts and deserts. Every plate of food I saw come out from the kitchen was HUGE. I went for the Hungryman Breakfast at a little over £10. It was substantial to say the least and served on a massive oval plate as evidenced by the two side by side slices of perfectly cooked and non greasy fried slices. The whole thing really should have come with an emergency phone number - 999, it was that big. Everthing on the plate was top draw in quality and taste. I particulary liked the Hogs Pudding (those 3 brown things in the pic). I didn't have a single gripe. My friend did however. He had the mixed grill, which although good on taste defeated him as all the meats were too tough to be acceptable in my opinion.. I'd rate his choice at a 2 out of 5 for that reason.

Love this place return to all the time.

Good old fashioned greasy spoon. Man sized portions at a fair price. Popular with construction people and dusy at times. Very happy we went there, deffo a place to visit again.

Food great as usual. Used to have old music which was turned right down. Turn the music up for better atmosphere

Absolutely, you must give it a go. It was my first time there and I had the hungry man's breakfast, which was truly a thing of beauty.

Good home cooked food and plenty of selection

Lovely truckers stop Massive meals very friendly

Food was really good but the peas and swede where stone cold and let the meal down The staff was really friendly and the price was good for what we had and couldn’t resist in taking some desert home with us

Great stop for a full English. Food was lovely although couldn't eat it all. Been a few times now and food is always consistently good. Great for truckers Will be back again.

Look, I know some readers will probably feel a bit annoyed by this review due to this place for whatever reason being a “county-wide sensation” but I don’t care. Yes, this place certainly has heart and the accessibility is great but there’s just no texture in the food. I went with some family members and I ordered the standard roast with beef (feel like I need to explain that the beef was wet and a bit dull). Family member explained that their chicken was ‘soggy’ to the rest of the table. Puddings are massive and hard to eat since they are rather sickly. Just not a great time overall.

Most trucker friendly place. Same kindness to bikers, tourists and other visitors. Portions are huge, food is tasty, staff are very friendly. Place where you definitely want to visit again!

Always lovely food. Very friendly staff. Brilliant for eating in or taking away 😀

Good food first time there for 15 years used to go regularly when we lived here will definitely go again now we are back

Great value and good food and service

Highly recommended lovely food and great service

Great place for a good meal . Staff are very friendly and helpful

Love this place always top notch food

Best steak in Cornwall.friendly staff. Best restaurant. I ate my body weight and still couldn't finish my plate. For less than £20 too. Smokey's is a local favourite of literally everyone i know and always has been

Nice food. Can be very busy at times. Reasonably priced.

Been here a few times food brilliant and enough of it lovely staff would recommend smokey Joe's redruth

Friendly great homemade cake will be back for a breakfast they look amazing

Went today with mrs and step daughter, had the steak and ale pie chips and veg. I’m from the midlands and 48 years young 🤔 so had a few pies in my time and I would say that this was easily as good as Mad O'Rourke's Pie Factory in Tipton. I popped in the kitchen and said this to the kitchen staff before we went. Well loaded with steak it was a very generous portion, lovely gravy and pie crust. Veg cooked perfect cabbage, carrots, swede and garden peas. Nice chips. Struggled to put it all away at £13.30 and £1.10 for a mug of tea this is probably the best quality and value meal I have had in recent memory. Mrs had the chicken mushroom pie.. had to try it and it was just as nice as mine. It’s a truck stop so dont expect the ritz but I couldn’t care less, the food was 10/10 and served quickly.

Great place to eat service and atmosphere was great to

great food super yum super cheap for what you get, large portions top notch

Good food, massive portions, helpful friendly staff. Definitely will go again

This is a typical truckers cafe friendly atmosphere and great food non greasy

Lovely, friendly staff. Nice food. Great value! Really impressed and will for sure be back!

Brilliant place to eat. No frills but great staff, great prices and fantastic atmosphere. Been open since the mid 1930's

Absolutely amazing! Portions are huge too

Great cafe quick service and excellent breakfast 👌

Very lovely place to eat with family and friends, friendly and fast staff and also amazing food! the portion sizes definitely take the spotlight here

The food was great, staff very helpful and kind when we come back to Cornwall again will definitely be paying them a visit or too.

Ansom Food Huge Portions Kind Friendly Staff Would Recommend To Anyone For A Good Munch

Waited over an hour in a filthy restaurant

Exceptional. Fresh wholesome food, great portion sizes, you don't leave here hungry.

Brilliant hand made food and the staff are delightful

Friendly fun welcoming good staff good priced food and the prices are correct on the menu on the site but big portions as you will see

Would recommend as a place to visit, very friendly staff.

If you are hungry and looking for a good cooked breakfast in Cornwall, Smokey Joes is the place to go. This is the first place I visit when visiting Cornwall👍

I can never complain about this place, I'm an outsider down here, even after 45 years, but I've seen this place grow since I got down here, always busy, staff always friendly, food always excellent, don't complain about the car park, it was still is a truck stop, don't complain that the guy in working clothes get served before you, you been in longer than him them, they run there days by tachos, priority will be given to those guys.

Visited with a group of 14. The service and food were both equally amazing. Would definitely recommend. The portion sizes were large which was great for us foodies. Pudding were homemade with a Great selection.

Best cafe in Cornwall...no more,no less.

Looking around for a place that offers daily roasts, not just a sunday, as well as a large menu choice, then this is the place. Great value and friendly staff. Food was tasty. Service was slow at a busy time on a bank holiday, but was worth the wait. Staff were great in helping us celebrate my sons birthday with singing and a delicious slice of chocolate cake. Will 100% be back.

Nice people the meals are great very large helpings l have used Smokes many times strongly recommended

Food was under cooked and cold, staff rude when we tried to talk to them about it and didn’t help resolve the issue at all. Wouldn’t recommend, the place has gone down hill massively :(

Terrible customer service, cold food, wouldn’t take anything off the bill for the poor quality food, now claiming i didn’t pay even though I have my receipt!

Food was cold went to complain and got shouted at by the manager or owner

Fantastic breakfast. Great value for money.

Went there with the kids today had the hungry mans was bleedy ansome

Very busy, massive portions, proper old school style cafe. Very friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Took my dog, they made a huge fuss of her and even treated her to a sausage.

Been here many times always friendly staff and excellent food even when super busy

First time there won't be the last time a great breakfast 😋

Our first an won't be the last, settled for a hungry man's breakfast before we set of up country and it didn't disapoint. After being told so many time we waited 45 mins because it was a busy period but the staff were awesome and the food is well priced and delicious. Was tempted by a cake but couldn't eat anything else after a large plateful and coffee. Defo recommend if you that way worth the wait if you have too. Please try just over £10 for the hungry man's and worth every penny. Well done

There was 23 of us and we was served in a timely manner and the food was delicious and hot not one mistake (which is difficult with that many people) food is amazing here well done smokeys

Our first visit to Smokey Joes with friends who live in Cornwall. What can I say ? "OUTSTANDING, EXCEPTIONAL" We will definitely be visiting again before the end of our holiday.

It is a truck stop but Really good food and nice staff and it's open from early morning to late evening. Well worth a visit 😊

I recently dined at Smokey Joe Café and was thoroughly impressed by their English breakfast. The plate was a generous and beautifully presented assortment of perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, savory sausages, grilled tomatoes, and baked beans, all served with thick, buttered toast. While my food took a bit longer to arrive due to the busy atmosphere, the staff remained friendly and attentive, making the wait feel worthwhile. Once it arrived, the flavors were spot on, and the portion size left me feeling satisfied. With its warm ambiance and exceptional food, Smokey Joe Café is definitely a must-visit for breakfast lovers!

I Had the baguette the breakfast one it was lovely 10/10 friendly staff very clean and one had the turkey s and gravy he said it was great 😊

My favourite place to dine in and the staff are amazing!

Closed at 20:20 on a Wednesday.... Google said 22:00 and even their sign at the entrance showed 21:30. Dissapointing

Been here many times over many years and just love each visit. Superb food, great staff never anything other.

A staple of cornwall.always visit when I'm down in Cornwall!

Good price for what you get.cook from scratch so you have to wait a while.so it's all fresh.i had small breakfast.husband had the large.

Great food, great service will call again.

Great place, big portions and good price. I’ll be back

Went here, with a work colleague, ordered a slimmers breakfast (£10)with an extra order on top...didn't receive tomato or extra order ! Toast was diabolical. They knocked the price of toast off apparently but I still got charged £10...entire order around £24...paid in full, disgusted with the attitude of staff. It was like I'd done something wrong. Pitiful. Won't be going here again !

You won't be Disappointed if you Dine here great menu and prices are very good truly value for money meals and service is very good and the staff are very friendly today I ordered Gammon and got a massive piece of Gammon fried egg 3 large onion rings peas salad and a good portion of chips for just £12.50 amazing my wife ordered Scampi and that also was a big plateful thanks to all the staff and my thanks to the chef this was our second visit and will certainly be going again

Very nice place. Very good food and friendly people. As a lorry driver you pay £25 for parking. For that you will have dinner, shower and coffee in the morning.
