We received a very friendly welcome in Smoqe when we popped in for am impromptu lunch a couple of weeks ago. Well situated restaurant on the main Rochester high street with a relaxing atmosphere and nicely decorated. Lots of nice burger options and the staff were very engaging and eager to make suggestions and help with choices. Well worth a visit - would suit families, friends and couples.

I very rarely write reviews but this one is worth a mention. We stopped here while on a day out in Rochester after something to set us up for the day. I had the grim reaper burger with pork scratching fries which certainly did the job. Food was excellent, hot but not too hot and the guy (the owner I think) went out of his way to make us feel welcome, and spotting that we like craft beer, recommended a few other places that we might like locally. The prices are fairly high end but the quality reflects it. Highly recommended.

Great food. We had the smashin burger and it was DELICIOUS. unfortunately burgers don’t come with fries. The restaurant is lovely and the staff is super nice. The place is a bit small, they don’t have many tables so I would recommend to book before going.

Absolutely amazing burger and chips, as good as when they first opened. I hadn't ordered for a while due to early closing times but I saw the negative reviews and had to know what happened to the place. NOTHING, it was as hot, fresh and meaty as it always was so I don't know what on earth happened with everyone else. Delivery was on time, no issues, if you could add some more sides and open a bit later, I'd be ordering all the time. Thanks again.

Wow. What a great place. We booked a table for 6 of us which was straightforward and gave us confidence from the start. They do exactly what they set out to do in their introduction. Good quality locally sourced food done well. We had a mixture of burgers and salads and all were freshly prepped and delicious. The chicken was succulent and presented well. The desserts. Oh my life. Freshly made by the owner and tasted like we never wanted them to end. Very friendly and engaging. Would recommend and will be going again.

We visited one evening and popped in with the hope of getting a table without booking. The owners were friendly, welcoming, and couldn't do enough to help. They were genuine people, and this definitely added to our experience. I was on a strict diet, and they helped cater to my needs without issue. Another plus! When the food arrived, I can honestly say it was one of the nicest burgers I have ever tasted. Everything was cooked with time and care, it certainly showed in every meal. We will definitely be back for more when next in Rochester. This is a real gem of a restaurant that needs the support of all! Highly recommended 👌 Update - we visited again 05.10.24 and had another fantastic meal. Salads were delicious and staff very friendly, just as our first visit. We'll definitely be back!

We visited @smoque at the Rochester location and the burgers were delicious 🤤 The owners John & his partner were lovely and very welcoming I had the Smoque with a QC burger Hubby had the Grim Reaper burger and we had loaded fries with pulled pork and bbq sauce The burgers were fully loaded and so filling the loaded fries were yummy but the portion size was smaller then what we have had at other places and more expensive, you also had to pay extra if you want additional toppings To drink I had the Baileys chocolate milkshake & hubby had the cider Overall it was yummy 😋 and we recommend 💯 Look at the smile on my face 😂

Popped in here after a nice wonder around Rochester. Service was friendly, food was excellent, good size portions. The Grim Reaper burger was wonderful, if you like things really hot! My wife had the chicken burger, that was huge. Admittedly, it was quiet, so we had great service. Would highly recommend, not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Would go again!

The most expensive burger I have ever had. Ordered the pulled pork burger and while it was very tasty it was tiny. I was expecting coleslaw with it, but the slaw is actually in the burger. Nice atmosphere but way too expensive for my taste. Two burgers, one fries and 2 drinks cost £55, which included a service charge of 12.5%. Won’t be returning.

A lovely looking place that draws you in. But....once you're there. The overpriced food is mediocre. The butter chicken burger is £17.. alone, no fries or side salad. Which I felt was over priced, but if the taste was out of this world you would understand. The burger was very small and bland and most of the chicken was dry throughout the dishes. The pulled pork was pretty dry as the chips topper. No effort to make it into a dish. The kids menu is very limited. Nothing healthy, or even a side salad with the dishes. Most places offer a complete kids meal, drinks included and usually a dessert for £7.99. This place has just the main for £7.50. We ordered two kids meals and two adults meals, and spent nearly £95. Which is completely crazy seeing as the prices are like fine dining but unfortunately the taste is not. The staff are lovely and friendly, Which is a plus. And they do go out of their way to help.

We went to Smoque last night for the first time. We had BBQ Smoked Rib in our mind when choosing the place. It turned out they serve ribs only on the weekends, however because of an earlier function, they had some left for us too. They were the best ribs we’ve eaten for a very long time! Juicy, well cooked and very generous size indeed. The lady who served us was very nice and helpful. It was a perfect ending of day for us. Thank you so much making it happen 🙏🙏

The double burger was small considering its price tag of £17 12.5% default service charger when I was a single dinner in a empty restaurant is a lot. An extra chips was added to my bill but this was corrected after I alerted them. Can't say I would rush to spend £38 pounds on a burger, loaded fires and a coke cola again.

Best burgers in town - the reaper experience is unmatched, if fortunately not as overpowering as I expected. Deserts were great too, with a killer pornstar Panacotta on offer. If you fancy something choclatey, there's the mousse cake too and a damn fine one. Service is really friendly - staff always finding time to chat. Only one toilet, but one of the finest specimens I've ever seen: plush, deluxe handwash and more! Would eat here again.

A lunchtime stroll in Rochester left myself and my friend hungry. After walking up and down the high street a few times we settled on SMOQE. at a glance the menu seemed to be quite good if a little expensive. We went inside and were immediately greeted by a friendly member of staff (who later turned out to be one of the owners). The decor of the place is very nicely done, modern feel but still homely. As it is predominantly a burger shop... we decided to have burgers and loades fries to share. The lady who served us was very polite and friendly. She was more than willing to talk about the restaurant and the menu. Some of the items are collaborative with other local establishments which is a nice touch. The food itself came out very fast (it was a quiet period) you can also see it being prepared in the open kitchen which is something I personally really like. I had the 'SMOQE with a QC' and loaded cheesy fries (the other photo is the Onion bhaji burger). The presentation of the food was of a very high standard. My only complaint was the fires were not exactly loaded, rather sprinkled with cheese... I asked for more cheese in which they obliged... But they did charge me for it. The burger was fantastic but the star of the show for me was the dessert. Raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake. It was devine. Overall I would rate this restaurant highly based upon the service and quality of food. It's quite expensive as you can see by the receipt, but I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an up market lunch in a relaxing, friendly environment. ✌🏼

Ate here the other night, burger had good flavours but my patty was a bit under done for me, also having to pay extra for fries was a liberty as well, £17 for just a burger is a bit dear considering the dead pigeon you get fries with your meal. Atmosphere was good staff very friendly as well. Would come back to try the ribs.

All the food is super delicious. Burger buns are real bread, not some sponge mixed with clay like in other places. Meat is juicy and perfectly grilled and fries are crispy. All condiments were fresh and just in the right quantity so the end product is just perfect. Better food than at dead pigeon (which is to be fair pretty good). Selection might be smaller but it's definitely quality over quantity.

This is a really good place to get a really tasty burger. I had the Korean spicy BBQ chicken burger with Cajun chips. I am a massive fan of Asian flavours so this really hit the spot. The chicken was in a panko crumb and superbly crisp with delicious kimichi and slaw next to it. The chips are delightful, perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I would definitely go back to try some of the other burgers on offer. The restaurant is very small but I wouldn’t say that’s a bad thing, and the staff were very friendly. It is a bit pricey but the portions are big and sometimes I don’t mind paying more for something proper tasty.

Waited for what felt like a lifetime for a dry burger and the service is shambolic. You can see the strain on the owners face of opening a burger place opposite Kent’s best burger joint (Chuck & Blade) and down the road from Dead pigeon. My advice if you want a good burger served with a smile go elsewhere (or across the road!)

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Smoqe in Rochester, a small and cozy restaurant that serves up delicious barbecue dishes. I was blown away by the quality of the food, and I give it a well-deserved five-star rating. The restaurant serves up mouth-watering hamburgers, ribs, pulled pork, and other barbecue products that are simply divine. The quality of the ingredients they use is top-notch, and it's clear that you're paying for quality here. But trust me, it's worth every penny. The service was also impeccable, with the staff being friendly and accommodating, especially to children. I was very impressed with how the staff went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. The atmosphere of the restaurant is hip and modern, which adds to the overall experience. The burgers and barbecue products were standout dishes for me, as they had an authentic and unique taste. The food is definitely a must-try for any barbecue lover. However, I do feel that the side dishes could be improved upon. While they were tasty, they were a bit lacking in colour and flavour, and could benefit from a bit more creativity. All in all, Smoqe in Rochester is a restaurant that I highly recommend. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. If you're looking for some delicious barbecue dishes, then Smoqe is definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic place, we are very much into our BBQ and make smash burgers all the time at home. This is the first place we have been where the burgers have impressed us. They were so tasty, the brioche buns were from a local artisan bakery and were really good. The rosemary fries were good, unfortunately they had sold out of pork and chicken flavouring for the fries. We will try them next time, homemade slaw was lovely, it had a great atmosphere and the staff were brilliant. The young lady that served us was so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend going, and I'm looking forward to going back soon.

We booked on a busy Saturday night, the restaurant is very small, beautifully decorated and the tables are layed out so that it still feels cozy despite being small. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly. The manager checked to make sure everything was good as well as the our server We had the buttermilk chicken, Korean chicken and the smashing burgers and they were amazing. The buns look kind of small but the whole thing was super filling and I can normally eat a lot! The fries were nice and crispy but I couldn't eat them all after the burger. We also had a couple of cocktails each which were really nice.

Honest opinion = Smouldering - I spotted Smoqe when visiting the Rochester awhile ago and was intrigued at the quality of the décor, for a small burger bar. Later that day I looked at the reviews online. Some were mostly all positive, so with my friends we decided to give it ago later that month. We all ordered burgers of various kinds, I ordered the Smoqe’d Pork with Flavoured Fries (Smoqe Pork Crackling) After our wait whilst having drinks, the waitress laid the table with a very neat tray and cutlery. I was advised that my burger may drip juice, so to be careful. The quality was excellent and cooked well and quantity was ok. However, after asking others in the group, we all decided that the meat patties lacked flavour or seasoning, the same as the fries but finished our food nonetheless. We were considering desserts but £8 for a slice of cheese cake each, we was thought over priced. That said to be charged 12.5% service on top of our drinks, burgers and fries that were not cheap, again we thought was pricey, considering other restaurants only charge this for 8/10+ or more covers. Overall, if you are feeling flush and don’t fancy a Chinese, give it a try and see what you think...4/5

Food The portions are enormous! So in that respect you get value for money. The burgers are loaded and the mains are packed with flavour. The menu is dominated by burgers which if you like that you'll love this place. Only gripe is the rosemary fries looked and tasted like ordinary fries garnished unevenly with sprinkled dried rosemary. There are recipes for rosemary fries it's not just a random dash of herbs. The food came well presented, the milkshake was good too. Service The place was empty but service lagged at the end, felt we waited a while for the bill so ended up asking for it. Considering we ordered from a QR code I couldn't understand why there was a mandatory service charge. Although the restaurant is American inspired this isn't America and should allow customers to make a voluntary tip. I think that staff were nice and friendly and quite likely would have tipped if not forced. Atmosphere They play really nice mood music but on our visit was ruined by a very loud meeting. Despite the restaurant being dead, what I think is the proprietor and the restaurant manager decided on having a meeting on the 8 seater table in the middle of the restaurant. In no way did all her audible complaints about needing VAT to drop etc improve the ambiance of the restaurant. Such conversation should be out of customers earshot.

Went here with my family of 4. Lovely little place. Friendly staff. All the burgers were ace. Fries were the best my son ever had. I had the pork ribs……huge portion and the best I’ve had in many years. Sauces are homemade and really good. All in all, a great spot with great food.

I had a burger, portion was good. Rosemary chips felt like bit oily. Burger patty was bit dry and overcooked however it was nice for other burgers at the table. It was bit disappointing to not being asked how I would like to have my burger patty at all. That can be improved. Service and stuff was nice and kind.

Nice place, cosy, staff is friendly. Everything was very nice, starting from coffee. We ordered 2 burgers, rosemary fries and some onion fries. Beef was very succulent. Overall good burgers. Rosemary fries are to die for. Nice crispy, stayed hot through our meal(not like McDonald's which are stone cold after 5mins). Onion fries were also very good. It's a variation of onion rings just not soggy. So all in all very nice evening meal. I would recommend to try out this place to anyone who likes a gourmet burger.

Me and my partner went here tonight and we couldn’t recommend it more! Claire was so welcoming and made our visit all the more amazing. My partner also asked if they do onion rings to which they don’t but they were thinking of adding onion fries to the menu, when our food was bought out we were surprised with a portion of these and they were absolutely out of this world, can’t recommend Smoqe enough x

From the moment we walked in, to when we left it was flawless The staff were polite, knowledge and the food came out as requested (amends were made to some menu items) The food was amazing - so much so that we are already planning our next visit The lady who owns this establishment is also hands on - taking orders, bringing food out and most of all, making each and every customer feel welcome. It was a last minute booking that we were very happy about. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful evening

This was a wonderful little gem. The staff where amazing. Helpful and really friendly considering they were rushed off their feet. I don't live in area but would return just for this restaurant . Food was delicious and milk shake was like a desert in itself.

Beautiful setting, delicious food. Friendly faces upon arrival and all throughout the evening. This has been our go to for family Xmas meals for the last couple of years and we already decided it will continue next year. The warm beautifully decorated restaurant sets the scene for a lovely festive get together. Massive well done to the waiting staff and chefs for the top quality service and delicious meals.

We visited for Sunday lunch and chose the roast turkey and lamb. Both dishes were served hot and the meat was nice. What we particular liked was the amount of fresh rather than the normal frozen vegetables that our meals came with i.e. cauliflower, swede, carrots, sprouts, broccoli, cabbage and roast potatoes. Overall a great Sunday roast, we will definitely return and have already recommended to friends and family.
