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.

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.

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

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!

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 !

The food is lovely, the portions excellent and the staff warm and friendly. If you like pub grub (steaks etc) why go somewhere else and pay the same price for half the portion and poorer quality?? I had the mixed grill (the photo was taken half way through eating so please don’t treat as a full portion as it was nowhere near!) This place is a truck stop so I had preconceptions about what it would be like - I was wrong. If you like good traditional food in large portion sizes you simply have to go here.

Popped in for breakfast and wasn't disappointed, that's for sure. The food was cooked to perfection and was very tasty. I had the hungrymans breakfast it was plenty, even for me! Lol. The Mrs was pleased as they even had hogs pudding included on the breakfast. The staff was very helpful friendly and polite. There was plenty of parking outside and it was very easy to find. I can highly recommend a visit. I took some photos of the main menu if you want to take a look to see what's on offer. They even have daily specials on a black bored that all sounded lovely. Keep up the good work. We will be returning to try out the steak next time. Top job 👏 👌 👍

We , three friends , had never noticed this cafe before . Admittedly we are not often in this area but we might now we’ve experienced the meals here !!! I had rib eye steak which melted in your mouth. The onion rings were delicious. I didn’t know what was accompanying it so was delighted to find an egg , onion rings , mushrooms, peas , chips , salad and coleslaw which was lovely . I’m fussy about coleslaw. Fantastic value for money. Staff were so lovely. Place is very cheerful . Highly recommend and I’m so glad that it’s on our radar now. We took cake home as takeaway . My friends had the roast. The empty plates says it all. A really good way to end the perfect day as the weather was good for us too

This place is always busy and sometimes has people queueing up outside to get a table. You can see why when you get your food. I had steak and ale pie, mash and peas. This was definitely homemade. Massive chunks of melt in the mouth beef. I really enjoyed the food. However, the only down fall was being squashed into a table where your elbows are bashing into the person next to you. It is a tight squeeze. The decor could do with an upgrade but it is what it is, a transport cafe. The service was good and reasonably priced for the size of the meals. You can also get take aways too. If you want to sit in and experience the atmosphere then always best to book a table.

Nice, large room, rather small bathroom. Everything was clean and there was the possibility of proper ventilation, which was necessary as there was a slight smell of food in the room (back room of a pub). Unfortunately, the people in the pub weren't particularly friendly or cooperative.
