Smokey's Meat Shack in Rochford

Booked a table for 3 for 7.30 with no problem. Even got the email conformation. Travel all the way to Southend from basildon to try this restaurant only to find it was shut. No phone call no nothing. Won't be attempting again!

I have driven past Smokey’s for the last couple of months and have been desperate to try it out… it did not disappoint! I had the pitmasters platter with a side of Mac n cheese. I could barely finish it! It was meaty and taste so good, the ribs & wings especially were absolutely banging. This is my new favourite place, nothing special inside but the food is 10/10 which makes up for it, I’ll definitely be returning with my mates again soon!

Amazing atmosphere, and the food was great with bigger portions than I was expecting. The beer was a good price and was great. Noce staff.

We visited this restaurant tonight. Felt like the staff were our friends. They are all amazing and very friendly. Visited with 2 adults and one child. The England match was on and nothing was too much trouble. We are ‘foodies’ and nothing was a disappointment. Had a few drinks and food. There was honestly nothing to fault! Nothing was too much trouble and food and cleanliness is 5*. Thanks for having us. Maddy is a great piece of your team xx

Had food here tonight was really impressed..Big portions,,pulled pork in the beans was real nice touch,good price would highly recommend. I will be going back again the food was amazing.

Food was great price was reasonable and the staff were friendly and attentive, definitely would go again.

Have been wanting to try this place for ages, can definitely say it lived up to my expectations and was as good as it looks on social media. Great service from start to finish, all 8 of my family members loved the meals we had, this place does amazing pulled meats, unbelievable ribs and fantastic Mac and cheese amongst everything else we had! Will 100% be returning!! And would highly recommend to anyone!!

Food arrived early and piping hot! Packaged really well and nothing missing. The food was absolutely incredible!! We will 100% be ordering from here again! You will not be disappointed!

Just had this with the family and it was amazing, really tasty food and friendly family atmosphere when we picked up our food, thank you very much⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1st time here and we'll definitely be coming back. Food was brilliant, flame grilled tasting burgers, all freshly cooked. Great little place, great music, staff were so friendly. Highly highly recommended

Food is absolutely unreal! Prices are very very reasonable! Service was impeccable too! Definitely coming back soon!

We have been into the restaurant once and really enjoyed it so decided to have it for takeaway. The food is incredible! We have had it 2 nights in a row it’s that good!

We tried here as a takeaway the other week and we tried the burgers ..they were amazing they come completely fully loaded with cheese and the caramelised onion is a game changer. So we went and ate in last night and tried the meat platter for 2 ..now this is ALOT of food for the money and it is so tasty. Just melts in your mouth, the slaw and pit beans are also amazing. We got the big cheese melt pot and that was insane. Will definitely be returning. If your thinking of trying you will not we disappointed 🤗 Staff super friendly and our waitress was lovely..thanks so much 👍
