Smoky Boys in Watford

Forgot to take pictures but the food and service here are second to none! Went in on the off chance as was sooo hungry and my word we were not disappointed! Clean, warm friendly atmosphere and the food is to die for! Highly recommend

They make the most awesome steak!

Good burgers, all of the flavours blended really well, and really tasty chips. Went for lunch and the lunch deal was very reasonably priced, would definitely go again

Food was absolutely amazing, first time going to Smokey boys and will definitely return, very warm atmosphere and friendly service

Quite simply the best wings in town, the owner is fantastic and the service just so good. All the flavours great but the bbq exceptional! Must try

These guys know what they are doing! I had one of the best grilled chicken strips ever! Highly recommend!

I was really pleased with my takeout meal and service from Smoky Boys. I ordered sweet potato fries, BBQ Beef Brisket and Coleslaw, and a Smoked Jerk Brisket burger (all gluten free). The sweet potato fries were alright - a bit flavourless for my liking. The BBQ Beef Brisket and Coleslaw was my favourite - it was tender, and I enjoyed the slaw. I added a bit more salt once I got home, but that’s a minor preference. The Burger was well made, but I think I’d order a different one next time. Perhaps it was an abundance of brisket - I think I would’ve preferred a regular patty! That’s what I would order next time. In general, I enjoyed my food, and it was fresh. The gluten free bun also didn’t disintegrate right away, which is a huge plus! I found it very satisfying in taste and texture. What really impressed me was the care given to my intolerances - I called up to check if they could accommodate a gluten free diner, and was assured they were able to do that. After arriving at the restaurant and placing my order, the chef came out to tell me there was a discrepancy on the menu, and that one of the sauces on the item I ordered (despite it saying gluten free) had been changed, and was no longer safe to consume. He ended up making his own accommodation to the same dish so that I could eat it. This experience made me feel comfortable, and safe to eat. I really, really appreciated the service, and would happily go back for another meal. All in all, I was pleased, and I look forward to trying other burgers soon!

Food was exceptional! Service was top notch! Highly recommend this place! Beautiful Decor, parking was easy as we got a space just outside the shop but if not plenty across the rood. Must try their burgers, oh and the mojitos! Thanks cosmin for such a tasty meal & amazing service.

Omg been a long time and that Smokey Bad boy sauce! Damnnnn! What a burger man !!!!! Unbelievable! That sauce is just next level!!!!!

Great food and gluten free options. The manager (I believe it’s spelt Kospen, apologies if not) is very friendly and accommodating! Will be back for sure!

Very good quality, amazing taste , affordable price. Thank you.

Have visitors several times now and as a well travelled veteran of the chicken wing I easily rate Smoky Boys amongst the best

The places was so nice and new look and the food was very nice 👌

Great food and great service by the owner. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Amazing and service was impeccable highly recommend!

Smoky Boys Watford is one of the cleanest and great place to have your lunch 🍔 !! Great tasty food... 🤤 and top quality service🔝👌🏼!! I can't wait to go back there again!!!🫡

The best restaurant with fresh food cooked by a profesional chef and very friendly and very Nice staff!

I had a fantastic experience, Amazing food Great environment

Absolutely amazing food and customer service the Chef Cosmin was absolutely amazing and professional, the food was amazing definitely a Must try!!!!!!. Thank you to the Chef Cosmin and the team at Smokey Boys Watford

Amazing food omg you have to have the sweet potato chips with that bad boi also garlic sauce the grill chicken burgers are something else 😋 👌 😍 and wash it all down with a gingerella oouf

Food is really good, particularly their Southern chicken burger with extra blue cheese is the best 😋. Plus, staff is AMAZING! They are always really nice and very professional and the place is clean. I recommend 💯

I must say the food was amazing defo worth the price everything was so fresh

Nice place and amazing food 🥘 I just love it ❤️

A place with the best and tastiest dishes I've ever tried, very tasty food with the juiciest burgers and the most delicious shakes served by a very friendly and very nice staff

Recently I went with my family to have dinner together and we went to this smoky boys watford restaurant for the first time to try it, we were very amazed by what quality dishes they have and very tasty. We ordered Winx as a starter, prwns. briskets and like the second course I ordered burgers that were very juicy and tasty and bbq ribs that you could feel how they melt in your mouth very delicious and very high quality food for the prices they have and the service by a very nice and very friendly staff.

I highly recommend this place, it is one of the best restaurants with halal and fresh food and a very friendly staff🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

Really disappointed. Lots of money for the food that I would have expected from a Wetherspoons. Service was good but the food was really quite poor.

Great food, wings and burger were delicious, great service from the team. Lovely bunch working there! Update 2024: they have had a refurb and updated their menu. Still delicious as ever and great menu options. Can't wait to go back!

We had spent the day at Harry Potter studios and wanted a quick bite before driving home. Decided to get a take away to eat in the car ride home. We would have loved to sit in however due to time restriction it was easier to eat in the car. We ordered from the lunch menu, £9.95 for a wrap / burger/ hotdog with fries and drink. And what a bargain it was ! First of all don’t let the price out you off. We got a premium meal for a bargain. Fresh skin on fries , the best brisket beef wrap I’ve ever eaten and all washed down with organic cola ! The wrap had flavours of nachos with the tangy cheese, spicy jalepenos and crushed nachos for texture. The brisket sauce was just mouth watering! We paid an extra £1.50 and got the brisket hotdog which was tasty! However the wrap was the biggest winner. We also ordered some BBQ ribs to eat for later… my goodness the regret of not ordering two portions once we got home! It literally melted in our mouths, and we ate it a good 1.5 hour after getting home. Didn’t even have to warm it up again. The chef did forget to put the wrap in our takeaway bag , so I had to go back and collect it. It was an honest mistake and bless him , he gave me a fresh gooey chocolate brownie for free! I’m currently eating it and singing his praises in this review as it’s delicious! Will definitely be going back when we drive by Watford. Hopefully get to sit inside next time!

Soo good definitely recommend. This is my 2nd time this week

the best place I enjoy special the smoky bacon burgers and the staff are amazing 👏

Very good food. Closest to bbq back in the states.

Very tasty burgers. Full of flavour. You can taste the dry aged nature of the beef. You can tell Smoky Boys care about the quality of the ingredients and how the flavours work well together. 5 stars!

The staff are very friendly an tha food was amazing

Ordered the Nacho with Brikset and the Smoked BBQ Ribs which were Delicious!

Great place to have a proper burger or a hotdog!

Excellent food. Really good quality beef. Service on point.

Excellent food with great service by Cosmin

Enjoyed a few starters and burgers for our mains and everything was amazing! Highly recommend the beef brisket - the beef was so tender and tasty! Service was really good too.

Amazing food so worth the money very good quality and the staff are amazing

Excellent food excellent service cosmin was a fantastic host

Excellent food! Lovely service too! Cosmin you are a legend mate

Really nice renovation, under great new management. Service impeccable from the owner himself! Burgers, shakes and fries for 5 people were brilliant. We were fasting and he brought 5 meals all out together, hot, fresh and with shakes and drinks! Friendly service with great food. Plus you can park right outside! Our new go to burger joint in Watford. My son, the foodie - double thumbs up!

I went there for the first time with my family and we loved it we will definitely be back the service was great the food was fantastic I have already shared the place with my friends Thank you 🌸

Some of the tastiest burgers we’ve had😍 first time trying Smoky Boys & we’ll definitely be coming back! I got the southern fried chicken burger which was soo good & my boyfriend got the vegan burger which also tasted delicious. Its a must try 🤩

Really happy with the price and good quality. It's a nice place to eat generally. Didn't speak much with staff so I cannot comment on this.

Cooked to perfection, Best burgers and chips in Watford, Fantastic sauces,toppings and bun, Highly recommend I cant fault it 10/10

Lovely staff, incredible taste only topped by the portion sizes, prices are cheap and fair. Keep it up

Just had a delivery from these guys and they went out of their way to make it all good, even calling me up. Excellent customer service (I'd already given them 5 stars in Uber eats so I made my way here to write this, which should tell you everything your need to know!

Great food. Our first visit and only customers in. Would visit again.

Place had a major overhaul, and it seriously done its justice. Great food and atmosphere. The hot dog and the mixed platter was awesome 👌

Terrible service. Twice now the delivery driver has not delivered and made no attempt to contact me. Do not order from Smoky Boys

Changed owner, across the table we had 6-7 different types of burgers from the menu - all were 10/10. Highly recommend Note: owner change!! Cosmin - great host.

Lovely food- and really great service by Cosmin who really took care of us whilst we were there.

Ownership has changed a few times... definitely for the better. Burgers are bang on brisket is lovely. Chips too. You wont be disappointed. Space is small, call ahead to confirm seating Mac and cheese wasn't very good.

Great food, great services, super friendly. The best burger I have had in while!

Took my family of 4 kids and 3 adults. The service was very good, friendly and the food plentiful. Car parking directly opposite. I had the Smoky Boy bbq burger and it was tender, thick and juicy ( a million miles from a McDonald's). Same with the Rosemary Salt, skin on fries - very tasty. I also had an Oreo shake which I loved though it was possibly too filling with the rest of the meal for me but that was my choice. We had the 2 course deal and prices were good. For comparison we were staying in a hotel near Fridays but I wasnt prepared to pay their prices. These guys provided a quality product for much less. Well done Smoky Boys and next time I'm in town I'll definitely drop by.

Best of The Best Burgers in Watford or i can say in whole London. Must try ; my Favourite was smoky chick burgur with Turkey bacon as extra topping. Lovely calm atmosphere; plenty of parking just in front of the restaurant. Hygiene is 5/5. organic soft drinks were topclass plus tasty mocktails. Manager Abhi was very knowledgeable and friendly; i personally recommend ask him if you want any personalization, he will definitely get it done. 5***** star place. Will definitely come back .

Recommend this place to anyone the food was 10/10 and what a great price. Definitely be going back

Came to eat here today, service was amazing very attentive and food was really nice. Really good value for money.

Amazing service! Food was on point, we went with kids and the staff were friendly and very understanding of our orders. Defo come back again.

The host firstly was amazing, we were really well looked after. The food was all really fresh and presented really well and most of all tasty. Great portion sizes, and the prices were really reasonable. Especially with their set menu options. If I didn't lice so far I would Def visit on a regular basis.

Awesome food, great atmosphere! The set menu is very good value. Thanks for a fab and friendly evening :-)

Amazing service and Food highly Recommended

Lovely little date spot with great food and ambience

Food was amazing would recommend the beef ribs platter .

Great steak and hot dogs..highly recommend

Best burgers I ever eaten. I enjoyed every single time. Highly recommend.

First time here and I most say I was very very impressed customer service on point and the food was amazing … I recommend if you are in Watford

The food was great and music was very relaxing.

Brilliant food and excellent service! Well priced will definitely be back soon

very goid atmosphere, nice service

By far the best vegan burger I have ever tasted! 100% will go back again! Portions are good sizes too.

Great food and service tasty burgers

I went back to this place after a few years. Management and ownership has changed and they’ve completely revamped the place. Parking is still on side streets or the main road that offers 1-2 hours parking. Food was amazing! The platter we ordered was good and they check and ask for any allergies too. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

The burgers and ribs are very good.

Ribs and burgers at high standard, very very tasty 🙏🏼

Best food in watford for good price, friendly staff and great service! worth every penny🤤🤤

Best place in watford for a good burger or stake ,we have been here couple of times now,ribs are demential, the new guys who took restaurant are doing a great job💪❤️

🎉Very good food and friendly staff 🤗good ambience after the renovation looks more welcomed,food was really good specially the chips and the burgers definitely recommend 👏💪Thanks you💪

Got the jerky burger thing, pain to eat to was really good and spicy. Very empty thou, we pop came in as a group of 6 after top golf located around the corner.

Good food and really nice mock tails , highly recommended .

This place is underrated. Quality ingredients and cooked with pride. Should be a lot more busier. Well worth a visit

First time back since the refurb. Great deal on the Lunch menu with lots of choices for a main. Fries and a soda or water for under £10. Worth coming to sit in a colourful lively environment and watch North Watford go by. Nice touch on a warmed pottery container for the fries! Smokey Bad Boy's burger has a great kick but might not be for the faint hearted but lots to choose from. Well worth going there but it also available on Uber.

This place is one of the best places.. I can only strongly recommend you try and see for yourself! Lovely and friendly staff and always look after their customers! Great portion sizes! Smoky bacon is my go too.. chicken strips.. be warned can get spicy! I usually post pictures of my food.. but I dived straight in!!

They have opened recently.athe ambience is lovely and the vibe is refreshing Food is amazing We have burger and rib I must say the burger was very juicy and rubs very very tender and melted in mouth Recommend Smoky Boys Watford 100%

I recently had the pleasure of trying the chicken burger at this location of smoky boys, BBQ wing , corn ribs and strips , it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Here are some highlights: Flavorful Chicken: The chicken patty was exceptionally flavorful and juicy. It was cooked to perfection, with a crispy outer layer that gave way to a tender, well-seasoned interior. Fresh Ingredients: The burger was loaded with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From the crisp lettuce and ripe tomatoes to the perfectly melted cheese, each component added to the overall deliciousness. Unique Sauce: The restaurant's special sauce was a game-changer. It added a tangy and slightly spicy kick that complemented the chicken beautifully. It's clear they put thought into creating a unique flavor profile.

Service and food was great, Great food and friendly staff, food was really good specially the hand cut fries,they make the fries and burger fresh and the lunch offer is really worth the money 9.95 for burger fries and a drink , must try food and they have a lot of choice for wraps, hot dog, mains dish vegan and vegetarian as well , Must try smoky boys Watford .

Great food and friendly staff and very good ambience, food was really good specially the chips ,they make the chips fresh and the lunch offer is really worth the money 9.95 for burger chips and a drink , must try food and they have a lot of choice for vegan and vegetarian as well , the new look is really good and the chairs our really comfortable to sit for a while . Must try smoky boys Watford .

This place was amazing , the aesthetics , the atmosphere , the service was very prompt , very affordable and the staff were so. Polite and respectful especially Myra a server in the Wandsworth branch. Very sweet . I’ll definitely be coming back to it’s my friends. My new favourite spot

I love their burgers (the Smoky Chick in particular), so if I am in Watford, it is not a question where to stop for lunch/dinner, especially that they are one of the few places who stock gluten free buns.

Good recipes, food is nice but the condition of the shop is very bad, the kitchen needs a massive deep clean, grill was dirty and was more of a flat griddle!

Good food, terrible customer service…

It’s okay taste small product food and horrible milkshake , it’s expensive price but it’s not worth to spent it there

Firstly, How can you be stingy over the things that cost you the least? One of the staff was making the portions of chips, another staff is telling him that he was putting too much. The same thing happened with the sauces. It ended up being a very small portion for £3/£4 and the pot of sauce was not even enough to finish those chips. When I commented about this, the staff said they won't make any profit. Secondly, I called up an hour before and asked how long 7 burgers would take and was told it would be 10-15 minutes. I arrived 20 minutes later and then waited another 20 minutes for the burgers, so that 10-15 turned into nearly 45 minutes. Probably because I could see them in their very open kitchen that they were putting the burgers on the grill one at a time, and then didn't put the chips in the fryer till all the burgers were done. It wasn't very busy at the time so they should have done better. One of the staff was great but this branch really needs some direction from head office about how to manage the shop better.

I order today 2 burgers and they come burn,can t even remove the burn verry dissapointed

I was craving a burger to break fast so went for the £12 burger and fries meal. The burger needs improving, something about it just doesn't have the wow factor. I did go for done instead of medium rare so maybe that's where I went wrong.lukily the chef made me a new one and it was better, the sauce 50p it made the whole meal. The sauce had the most flavour of the whole meal. Also charging a customer over £6 for sauces I thought that was a bit cheeky seeing as it's Ramadan. Overall not the best, but customer service was great. Sauce outstanding Burger dry, no flavour and just not giving me burger vibes. Chips yeah decent.

Service and food was great. The only let down was the stick cutlery. It was difficult eating Steak with disposable sticks. If wasn't possible to cut too. ☹️

Every Positive review on here is fake and written by the owner and friends....some reviews online are complete lies and were even written prior to opening. This place is disgusting! Their meat is cheep, fatty, undercooked and overpriced garbage and tastes really really bad!!! The staff are rude and clueless and generally can't speak English. They sell themselves on "Shakes" which they will charge you £5 for a blob of value ice-cream mixed with milk....This place is designed to maximise profit at the expense of the customer experience. BEWARE DO NOT EAT HERE!

Ñice food friendly staff decent restaurant would return again
