Smoky Boys in Wakefield

Lovely staff & always great food! Also gave my friend a free brownie for his birthday! Definitely recommend:)

We were there for nearly two hours and not one other person came in which should have been a sign. The burgers were hard and crispy with no flavour, the chips were rock hard. They left my daughter waiting 15 minutes for her food after bringing all ours out. Her kids meal was over cooked chicken strips with rock hard chips, honestly the chips tasted and looked like ones we get from Iceland. Given we were the only people in there I'd of expected the service to be quicker. Won't be going back. Should have gone to TGIs looking back. Won't be going again it may say BBQ on the sign but it's far from bbq. Avoid.

Really poor food let's this place down. Ribs were ridiculously fatty for £20. Chips stone cold and rock hard tasting like the oil hadn't been changed for ages. Chicken wrap full of salad and barely any chicken. Then when it's time to pay a 12.5% service charge was automatically added haha. I asked for this to be removed but wow laughable. £93 (without tip) for food so bad we had to still get food on the way home is not good enough. And to make it worse the seats were sticky like they had never been wiped down and Servers have a "Couldn't care less" attitude which they aren't even trying to hide. Do yourself a favour and go to any of the other decent food places you are surrounded by.

My waitress Zara was very good and polite. The food was good. Would recommend.

Zara is a great waitress, very lovely person and a great host 👍

6 of us dined there and loved it! Brilliant portion sizes and really tasty food!

Great food and service, friendly staff, burger & chips delicious. Will be returning soon!

Brilliant food, huge portions and great service. Very good prices for the amount of food and quality. Will definitely be coming back

The service was lovely I would recommend. Zara and Amelia were so good!!!

Birthday meal with the family… was going to go to a different known restaurant but decided to give Smokey boys a try and it was beautiful.. great food, great beer and the staff were friendly. Highly recommend

Brilliant atmosphere! Great service from Nic

Nic and Zara and Riz were wonderful and a great laugh

There was 3 staff members who presented incredible service towards me and my group. I think there names were Zara, Riz and Nick

Food was average, service was slow and the restraunt was almost dead,hence the 2 star atmosphere rating.

Loved the food and the milkshakes. Great portions for kids meals.

Very good service. Great food at a great price!

Overall good place for quick meal. The food is okay.

Food was lovely and well priced, sat down in tgi’s first but couldn’t justify spending £20+ on a burger. Glad we visited 👍 Highlight was definitely Nick, absolutely class server and very attentive. Thanks guys!

The concept of the restaurant where 99% of the positions are meat is excellent. A huge menu of burgers, also they have interesting hot dogs, and two types of steaks 🥩🥩 The steak was okay, the presence of asparagus was pleasing. The restaurant was very busy on a Saturday evening. Therefore, the service time was accordingly not the fastest, which is fair in this situation. Overall impression - not bad.

Service is awesome we don’t have to wait much atmosphere was very good and quality of the food was good

Foods and drinks is very good 👍

Don’t go. Pretty sure I ate semi rotted/stale/fatty “beef” and oil drenched fries. Front house staff are okay not sure what’s going on in the kitchen. Cutting corners and being money hungry is putting the public at risk, I should have read the reviews before wasting so much money here. I will update my review if I survive my A&E visit

A nice place to hangout with friends and family. Also got some nice foods there. The best one is the grilled wings 👍

Amazing food and lovely staff! Amazing customer servicw

Went here with my colleague and the food was delicious, made fresh and the staff were really helpful. Definitely recommend!

It was wonderful! and was worth the wait. Can't wait to go back!!

Incredibly overpriced for what you actually get, cheeseburger, fries, and a hot dog - with a milkshake and lemonade for £50? Service was very poor also, none of the staff seemed willing to even pretend they were happy to be there. Portion sizes were not great for the price charged, but borderline. Burger was very rare, which is not a US trend that should be catching on over here in the slightest, but at least the food tasted good. Truffle parmesan fries seemed to have that kind of shaker bottle cheese on, rather than fresh-grated, but it tasted alright at least. Hot dog was decent, but again, for the portion, very expensive. Automatic "service charge" was hilariously added before the bill was brought, but by this point we just wanted to go. Thanked the manager as we left to get a curt "Yeah," and he turned around again. Doubt we'll be back.

We were greeted by a nice woman who cleared a table for us, then someone else came back a short while later to take our order and ensure it was correct by going through it a second time. A good sign. The restaurant is nice inside, clean, doesn't smell of cooking grease, not a bad place to spend a couple of hours. The food didn't take long to arrive, however it wasn't quite what was double checked. A missing item, a clearly medium well-done steak instead of the medium rare one ordered and a full fat coke for our young 'un that he necked faster than a hippo (his words) when he realised it wasn't diet, we're sure to feel this later. The steak was still ok and the missing item wasn't a massive issue and if someone had come to actually see if our food was ok I wouldn't have said anything, they didn't do this however, at all, ever. Even when food was clearly finished, nobody came, the effort they must have put in to look everywhere in the not exactly busy restaurant except our table was almost as much as Atlas holding up the world. We asked someone for the bill as they walked past, 5 minutes later still nothing. The pin must have dropped as we started getting our coats on to leave, at which point a bill magically appeared with a non-optional 12.5% service charge added. Please don't go here, this was a Saturday night, these mistakes are inexcusable for a restaurant in the busiest leisure complex in the area.

Ordered 4 meals with drinks. Chicken strips were proper dry and burger fillet were the same. Over priced with service charge on top. First food place with 12.5% service charge while service is only bringing the food on your table nothing special. Normal kids meal with 3 chicken strips and chips with fruit shoot is £7 and service charge on top.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, loved it! Will definitely be coming back again soon!!!!!!!!!! The staff are also really friendly!

Delicious Halal grill food. Everything we ordered had a distinct taste.

Ages to get served and have no clue what we even got served other than a pile of jelly that was supposedly ribs

Late delivery, all the food had gone cold. Fish well overcooked and more like a crisp than a fish. One of the worst meals I ever had.

We ordered the “Smoky Boys platter” and one of the chicken wings was uncooked and was completely pink inside. When the server finally decided to clear the table and I told him about the discovery of the undercooked chicken, the server asked if I wanted a replacement but I had lost my appetite due to the pink chicken wing. He then told me the meal would be discounted, which is appreciated but expected. Then came the wait for the bill once the table was cleared. When the bill arrived we had a whole £8 discounted, bearing in mind the platter was £44 and about 60% wasn’t eaten after seeing the uncooked wing. We had waited long enough and just wanted to leave so I didn’t argue and just payed and left. Really not great, just queue for Nandos or TGIs, take my word for it.

Staff so rude. Told us 15 minutes for a table cause was available (when they was a few tables in there) just cause we had kids they didn’t want to know. The service was absolutely shocking order drinks and took half hour to come, the food took 1 hour to come and was rubbish, I wouldn’t mind waiting for good food or if they was rushed of feet but was quiet, so rude and will not go back again. Half the order was missing and come out cold. Plenty more food options than this horrible place.

Such an amazing experience.Food was delicious.

Went today and restaurant was very busy.Food was amazing.Service was good too.Overall great experience.

The ribs were really nice and the chips needed a bit more salt:)

Went on a Friday night and it wasn't busy, around 6 tables tops. Taken about 10 minutes for drinks. Had to get our own fork and sauce as waiters was good at looking busy while actually doing nothing. Food was average, came on a big plate with a tiny burger and a pot of chips for a burger no salad, no sauce which was described on menu and my partner eaten before me as I asked for no cheese and it came with cheese. Everyone seemed more interested that closing that providing an excellent setting or excellent food.

Went here yesterday for my son's birthday as we did last year but not be going back. Beef brisket had "run out" (again!) So ordered a steak with peppercorn sauce, the tiny pot of sauce was watery and got sent back which they rectified but I had just about finished steak when they brought it back out. Grilled asparagus was missing the tips so basically was just asparagus roots and a bit hard. For the prices they charge it does need improving a lot before I'll go back again.

This place has so much potential I think better management needs to be put in place. The staff was nice and polite but the service was not great very slow even though the place was not exactly busy. It taken at least 15 minutes before drinks order was even taken and it was a while before starters and mains was brought out. No one came over to see if we needed any drinks had to go to the bar to ask for another. Also no one came to see how the food was the beef short rib was really nice if it was not for that I would have been very disappointed in my visit. The steak was not great flavours was not too shabby but it was well over cooked asked for medium rare but got extra well done so dry and chewy. What really annoys me when places like this automatically put service charge on the bill and don't let you know this should not be allowed. Always happy to leave a tip when I it's been great food and service unfortunately this place was not it and I will not visit again.

Lovely food, nice music and attentive service.

Absolutely disgusting. Chicken wasn't cooked was still raw and bloody. Ribs was just bone no meat on Forgot half the order. Never again. I never complain about food but this was bad..

Absolutely amazing food and great service. Lovely place and very clean

Had a great time here with my family tried the smoky boys platter and it was delicious

Amazing atmosphere and great food good customer service highly recommended.

please try the bao buns they are sooo good, good service. Very good

Very enjoyable lunch. Great service.

Decided to visit as we had never been despite visiting the area quite a few times, I wish we had never bothered. Its the worst meal me and my wife have had in well over 15 years. Service was non existent apart from to get out order and put our food on the table. We did not see staff after that. They had the cheek to add a 12.5% service charge to the bill, which we refused to pay. The food was bland and not nice at all. The chips tasted like they had been reheated in the microwave. The meals did not come with all ingredients on the menu. Both myself and my wife said would have been better just to go get a nasty McDonald's. Food and drinks were overpriced. Waste of time going. Only positive is that it was near other food places where we could get something else to eat. Stay away, is all I can say.

First time coming here, absolutely delicious food! Went for the BBQ bacon, the lunch deal was £9.95 for any burger, fries and a drink! So cheap for the quality of the food. There was a bit of a wait time- I’d say we waited about 20-30 minutes. But it was worth it. Definitely coming back.

The place is very nice and the food is also great. Good portion too, very fulfilling.

Had Lunch deal brisket wrap, chips and drink for £9.95. Really loved it and was worth the price in lunch deal. Would visit again in luch time.

Very quiet compared to all the other restaurants, I think there was only one other table. Food was very nice and plenty of it, service was good. Would recommend and will be back

We absolutely love ordering from Smokey boys as the food is always incredible and they always get the food out as fast as they can. We will definitely be ordering from them again

The share platter some of our party had was great, the burgers are near enough £20 for an average sized, average tasting burger and a small dish of chips. Plate looked bare and I'd finished it in two minutes. Massive disappointment. Was considering getting a bk after. Food took near enough an hour, no one checked in after our initial order and it was a challenge to flag someone for extra drinks. Atmosphere was noisy but it's in a big complex so I won't hold that against them. Would have given 3 stars but they included a tip on the bill so they get 2 from me.

The food here is so amazing and full of flavour and good vibes

This place wasn't the best. Firstly, there was a long wait time of about an hour, which is ridiculous for a couple of burgers. The burgers were rather underwhelming as they were tiny. They were not burgers. They were sliders. It was also rather expensive. You should miss this place if you visit and instead go to the Wetherspoons or some other cheaper option.

Absolutely diabolical place avoid avoid avoid photos tell there on story disgusting place my wife pointed out but I wanted to stay should have listened left without paying for mains !!

Food and service is awesome. Really up to mark. The young lad bilal guide me in a very professional way .

They have a solid variety of burger options, from classic to more adventurous combinations, along with a good selection of wing flavors. The menu also offers sides like fries and even milkshakes if you’re feeling indulgent.

On arrival the gentleman to seat us was the barman. He seated us without so much as a welcome. Once seated the menu for a BBQ restaurant was lacking well BBQ. It's burgers and hot dogs with a few extra items. I asked for some direction on the beers and the waitress knew nothing of the drinks menu. Again minimal communication and zero enthusiasm or charisma. Finally we ordered (took a while for her to return) drinks and meal together. They didn't have the beer I selected from the menu, nor did the have the sea bass someone from my table wanted. The meals were essentially thrown on the table by the barman. The food itself was OK for what it was. It was altogether dismal service. The restaurant isn't what it purports to be and to top it off has an 'optional service charge'. We had this removed as it was not deserved.

loved the food, amazing atmosphere, great customer service I will definitely be back!!

Food and service was ok. 1 star review because the website offered a 2 for 1 deal on mocktails which wasn't honoured when it came time to pay the bill. Staff said that this only applies if you buy two of the same cocktail or mocktail but this wasn't stated anywhere.

This place is a fantastic spot for barbecue lovers! The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends or family. The menu is packed with mouthwatering options, and the smoked meats are definitely the stars of the show. I had the pulled beef and it was incredibly flavorful and tender, just the way it should be.

Food was mediocre and service was worst than the food. Never again.

I am not usually a person who complains in restaurants, but this is something else. Went for a family day out and strongly regretting to choose this place. Ordered 2 Burgers, chicken stripes, mac and cheese, a cocktail, a cocktail and a beer.. it costed £75. The price includes tiny super greasy chips (the oil needed to be changed last week...), tasteless chicken, dated veg on plates, a rotten strawberry on mocktail glass, and a impossible to drink margarita cocktail (half glass of ice and lime juice that gave me hart burns after first sip. I sent it back and they did another one, not much better...

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. The smoked meats are packed with flavor, and the brisket is especially tender. The sides, like the mac and cheese, are delicious too. The staff is friendly and attentive, which adds to the overall experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving some good BBQ!

Smoky Boys is an absolute delight for anyone who loves a good barbecue! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The menu offers a wide range of smoked meats, and each dish is bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed their brisket, which was tender and juicy, complemented by a variety of house-made sauces. The sides, like the mac and cheese and coleslaw, were equally impressive and added to the overall experience. The service was friendly and attentive, with staff eager to make recommendations based on personal preferences. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. I also appreciated the selection of craft beers available, which paired wonderfully with the smoky flavors of the dishes. Overall, Smoky Boys is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in some delicious barbecue fare!

Superb..! Loved the faculty and the food.

Smoky Boys is great for families! The kids enjoyed the meal, and the staff was accommodating. The relaxed vibe made it easy to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes! The prices are reasonable for the quality of food you get. Perfect for a hearty meal without breaking the bank." Loved it....

Very disappointed. The place wasn't clean (even our 4 year old refused to sit down saying it's dirty). The staff was ok however we had to prompt them to take our order, we had to wait a long time for the drinks (it wasn't really busy) and overall got the "I can't be bothered to be here" feel. When food finally arrived it was very average. My husband wanted to try this place. I don't think we will be coming back.

Great midweek lunch deal. Food was delicious. Friendly and prompt service.

Went with family ( 7 people) for our first visit to this restaurant and it will be our last . food was terrible and so was the service would not recommend to anyone

I had an really best experience with this restaurant the food here is amazing and i am amazed with their fast service this restaurant deserves a really 5/5 stars❤️

Nice food nice bugers and nice shakes everything is nice want vist again

Nice food nice stake and shakes everything nice I personally prefers to visit that place

My experience in this hotel is very good this is best place for lamb burgers

I go out with my friends there and the food is delicious hats off you made our day

It was a very great experience. Everything was so fine & good. I really enjoyed their Tender chicken. The services are also very amazing. Definitely will recommend it to my other friend ;)

Had a great time and the ambiance was also good. The food and overall experience was satisfying.

Bilal was superb and very helpful. Lovely food too. Great value.

Fantastic staff, lovely atmosphere, food the greatest in xscape, I recommend all to go here, exceptional cocktails for a restaurant

Over priced - food wasn’t best, I had salmon and it was very fishy (usually not good sign) and not very tasty, got fries flavouring wrong too, kids enjoyed these but can’t go wrong with chips and burger - overall priced but staff were very helpful and pleasant

Zara served us she is very friendly and skilled staff,enjoy her service and the food.

Friendly staff, good service. Kids meal was great value. Thanks

i came first in UK its really nice Atmosphere nice service and really good food

For somewhere called "Smokys BBQ" the lack of Smoke and Barbecuing tells it own story however we thought we'd give it a try. The calamari was like chewing dry rubberbands. The ribs I can't really describe the menu stated 19lbs rack of ribs what actually came out was a single rib that must have been from a genetically engineered cow 70% fat 20% bone 10% dry flavourless meat. All the 5* review clearly come from family/friends of the business owner as there is no way they are reviewing this restaurant. Very disappointing.

Served by bilal was really good with 5* customer service. Food was amazing. Definitely recommend and will back soon.

Food was excellent we ordered the sharing platter for 2 and customer service was great , served by Mr. Bilal who was kind to change our wings as the dynamite flavour was unbearably spicy

Bland, unseasoned, frozen dross. Don’t think there is a spice in the place. Even the Parmesan somehow didn’t taste of anything. Avoid!

Best meat platter and lots of veggie options are available. Great customer service. Definitely come back

Disappointing meals. Steaks overcooked and ribs not really ribs but a chewy, fatty beef short rib. Service charge knocked off but nothing else offered when we complained. We should have gone to 'spoons.

Food was awesome.Specially staff was very friendly. I highly recommend.Must try smoky boys plater and briskit

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE The first red flag should have been how quiet this place was on a Friday night. The next should have been £3.95 for athe worlds smallest glass of coke. It was less than you would get in a can. We both ordered the ribeye eye steak medium. The chips were disgusting. How is it possible to ruin chips!? The oil they were cooked in tasted rank and the chips tasted muddy. But the "ribeye" steak really took the Mick. There is no way on god's green earth that it was a ribeye. God knows what part of the animal it was from. This place styles itself as a place that knows it's meat. They do not. It was gristly, grey and full of cartilage. To top of off they'd cremated it. When we complained the server even assumed we had wanted it well done. We left hungry and disappointed. Go to one of the many other restaurants in xscape. God knows how this one is still open.

The combination of excellent food, warm ambiance, and exceptional service makes it a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

The steak was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful sear on the outside and tender, juicy meat inside.The rice was perfectly seasoned, with a great balance of flavors from the soy sauce and spices.

It had been a bad week so decided to treat myself and get some ribs, my local chinese was closed so thought I'd try this place. Little did I know I was about to have 2 even worse weeks because of this. The ribs arrived mostly cold, the outside was fine but inside was all fat and cold and could not be eaten at all. The chips were fine, definitely fried twice but they were okay. It was very pricey. And it gave me horrendous food poisoning. 2 weeks off work later I still have to be careful eating solid foods and I'm tired and weak all because I wanted a treat of some overpriced ribs. Never ever ever again

Strange place. Really cold inside the restaurant and seemed to be lacking in atmosphere. The thing that really lets it down is the service. The food was actually really nice but when the waiting staff stand over you demanding that a review be left before you get your bill it's a tad off-putting. To then receive your bill and find that they've added a service charge also beggers belief. We were a family and not a large group. We wouldn't return.
