The Smokehouse in Great Yarmouth

Absolutely fantastic great place the cars and decor is ace, staff are very nice, the food was amazing and great value too, will visit again

OMG this place! Unbelievable on all accounts. Can't recommend it enough

Great night at the Smokehouse. Great food and our waitress Lillibelle was absolutely fabulous. If you eat here and lucky to have her serve you then you are in for a great night.

Had a fantastic meal last night in the Smokehouse Ormesby as part of my Birthday weekend in Norfolk with good friends. The food was excellent and portion sizes were very generous. But the icing on the cake was our server Lilliebelle whose personality made it an absolutely great evening. Will definitely go again.

Americana style decor & vibe. Excellent service followed by incredible food. Make sure you are hungry when you visit, as the portions are a good size. Not over priced for the quality & atmosphere. If only I didn't an hour & half away!

I liked American atmosphere and decorations. Portions were pretty big, enough ribs for 2 ppl. Would not recommend vegetarian lasagna

Lovely food and excellent service

Great theming and feel to the restaurant, service a bit inconsistent, clearly lacking the needed experience/leadership, no fault of the servers who were friendly. Food was good but burger was dry, BBQ blowout was MEGA and deffo enough to share between two/have a smaller other main. I would stick to the BBQ'd meat parts of the menu.

Lovely restaurant and obviously lots of effort to keep it up. Service was good but could do with a bit more experience. My partner's food was great but unfortunately for me mine was quite lacking, burger was very over cooked and dry and there was pretty much no sauce on the bbq pulled pork especially compared to my partner's. Would love to try again but I wouldn't get a burger.

Absolutely outstanding food. The service was incredible too, even though they were extremely busy, they somehow made us feel like their only customers.

Absolutely amazing been many times now and never had an issue, massive portions so doesn't work out too expensive and you don't need a starter or dessert

Poor quality food. Hot dog was just in a bun with chips on the side. No onions or relishes, dry bun. Chicken wings very dry. Service friendly but hit and miss, requested a sauce, never bought, had to ask multiple times for cutlery and napkins.

Fantastic food, service & atmosphere

My first visit and had a great time! Good food, service and has a good vibe!

Love this place, always good! However, if you buy a beer at the bar check they don’t add it again to your final bill. £20 🤬

Food and service always superb. Always come here when holidaying in great Yarmouth. Fantastic establishment

Fantastic place, staff are amazing and friendly, the food was fantastic and you never had to wait too long for your food and the price was great for 8 of us. I had the 30oz T-bone and it was cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend.

This place came highly recommended, and the food definitely didn't disappoint, as what we had was awesome, and the service was very friendly and attentive. The only slight negatives were the car parking, and the lack of sufficient toilet facilities upstairs. The car park is a bit of a shambles, and could do with some lines to designate the parking bays for those too ignorant to park with consideration for others. The toilet facilities for upstairs aren't really sufficient when the restaurant hits the busy period, as there are just 2 toilets, and these are used by both customers and staff, causing people to queue on a staircase. Otherwise, we did have a lovely evening meal, and would recommend to others.

Amazing American restaurant, the best burgers I have ever had, all employees are so friendly and helpful, very invested in the American theme. 👍 Best restaurant around.

We visited here with friends for my birthday and everything was spot on, even the staff had a laugh with us they also made sure everything was okay with our food. The food was delicious and very well laid out I will definitely be visiting again soon 😊

My ribs were a little dry, chips were lovely. Blooming onion was too salty and crispy for our tastes 10oz steak medium rare looked fabulous but didn't quite hit the mark. We felt it wasn't rested long enough. 1 party member was sick the next morning after eating said steak We will be back again as the atmosphere was great and staff lovely. We will try burgers next time

friendly service and good quality food. such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere which was very enjoyable. would definitely come back again!

We love this place. We've been a couple of times, food is delicious and the place has a chilled & quirky vibe, but what makes us return is the service - all of the wait staff are so friendly, helpful and just the right level of attentive (hate it when wait staff hover). Finally, their milkshakes are next level!

Had a pleasant first time eating here. The staff were friendly and the food was ok. You weren't too cramped as the restaurant was nicely presented and spacious. Ample parking and the toilets were nice and clean. I would of preferred some relishes with my burger and chips rather than tomato sauce and mayonnaise, but I did get a free burger on the 2 for 1 offer. I did find the burgers a bit dry and the chilli lacked flavour but overall It was a nice experience and would definitely come again 😋

Myself and 5 friends Recently visited the smoke house and I must say we were not over impressed the staff were okay but there was actually only one who was very engaging the rest didn't seam to want to be there the food was very nice and good portion sizes where it all went wrong for us was one of the males in our group reported the gents toilet was blocked and nearly over flowing when we first got in there nobody seam too care nor did they attempt to do anything about it not good enough considering how much we was charged wouldn't go back and defiantly wouldn't recommend a real shame as it was my wife's and our friends birthday on the Sunday and this evening had bean planned for some time

Visited smokehouse for birthday meal with friends. Great food and experience will definitely visit again

Great food, quick service and lovely staff. Made to feel really welcome. Really liked the background music that was playing too. Can’t wait to visit again.

It was such a shame as normally very good. Burgers were so dry that they were a struggle to eat. Mac N Cheese bland. Staff were great and such a lovely place but food needs to improve ( hopefully an off day?)

Lovely food Staff friendly Nice atmosphere

Food was lovely and plentiful. Young staff very polite and helpful . A very unusual top marks from me. .November update . Perfection as usual .

My absolute new favourite place to eat!!! Staff are amazing, the food was outstanding and the service 10/10. I can't recommend enough. Definitely book in advance, I went on a Wednesday and it was really busy. Can't wait to return to try something different on the menu.

Brittany was a very attentive waitress and accommodating for our meal alteration requests. She noticed something was missing before I did, and rectified this mistake. Really warm service and made a comfortable experience.

Had an awesome philly dog, great atmosphere, and super fast service 👍 Was a pleasure to go 🙌

Very good food, sligt criticism onion rings are cheap ones, was expecting the battered ones

Great food great service and atmosphere will definitely return the best

Had quite a lot of bad excuses for BBQ in the recent years, so I'm glad we finally found a place that hasn't disappointed. Not overly smoked or too sweet, meat all fell off the bones, the rib rack was loaded with meat. Me and my wife got the platter, under normal circumstances that would have been enough for us both, but on this particular day was the rare occasion where I could eat the Earth, so I was disappointed I had to share, not through any fault of your own of course. I live a long way away, so probably won't be back, but on the off chance I am in the area I will try my best to.

Beautiful food! Beautiful place good vibes, good kids menu and Big Portions and I'm a big eater!

Our Anniversary dinner venue, and the food and atmosphere did not disappoint. Would highly recommend and visit again.

Absolutely advise you try here xxxxx The staff on arrival were amazing Seated quickly And staff really helpful and attentive Food is absolutely amazing and you have to try the Biscoff Sundae mmmm Recommend you book Well done can't wait to return

Couldnt get into eat. Fully booked at 4.30 weds afternoon. Advise booking.

Food was nice & plentiful....but baby ribs a bit dry & over done, chips a bit to salty.

Third time we have eaten here. The food has been amazing every time. The burnt end starter is my go to, could just eat a plate of that and I’d be more than happy. Just an amazing place and well worth the money

Great food ,with a great offer 2 for 1 .would definitely recommend. Well done to all the staff and especially the staff behind the scens

Brilliant food and Brilliant service. Roxann was serving us was really great, made the experience special and we had a fantastic time

Friendly, home like atmosphere, food was amazing, staff made it worth the visit alone, Would recommend and will visit again

I decided to try the Smokehouse after recommendations from friends who had been there a couple of weeks ago, and WoW!! I honestly cant fault anything from my visit, the waiting staff were absolutely top drawer! and the food was another level!! Will deffo come again next time im in the area.

Amazing place. Beautifully decorated and gorgeous staff that can’t do enough to make you comfy and welcome. Food was insanely good - had a steak and the bbq blowout with a side of mac n cheese. Delicious and filling ! Reasonably priced too! And the mojitos were on point ! From London but will return!!

Food was unreal like always, was served by Britney and she was lovely made the visit so welcoming

We were welcomed by helpful, friendly staff. The smokehouse has a nice relaxed atmosphere even when really busy. The food was great. Plenty of it and cooked to perfection. All in all, it was a pleasant experience for me and the wife.

Food was very nice Indeed, service was good too, My only criticism was is I wasn't asked about any allergies when ordering a drink, i ordered a raspberry gin and there was strawberry in there, I am allergic to strawberries however this was quickly rectified

I recently visited this restaurant and the staff could not have been more helpful. We were told, as it was busy, that the wait would be 1 1/2 hours. But they put themselves out and got us in in 20 mins. The food was great the service sharp, professional and second to none. Again Thankyou and we will be back!!

Great American style diner, stuffed with memorabilia and Americana, good choice of food and great portions, make sure you're hungry when you go!

Fantastic place...fantastic food...brilliant staff...awesome atmosphere....x

Came here for the first time after being recommended. We were looked after by Lilybelle who was absolutely brilliant. She was great fun and had a brilliant sense of humour! The food was lovely and there was plenty of it, which makes the prices worth it. One of our party is vegetarian and that meal was also very good. Travelled 30 miles to come here and would definitely do it again in the future.

We'll that was cooked to perfection, mouth watering meat. Very generous portions and a nice feel to the place. We will be back. We came back and it was amazing again

Amazing food and service as usual. Conor was exceptionally attentive. Food and drinks were fabulous. We will be back next year.

Absolutely loved our meal here! Alf was fantastic; friendly, helpful and had a laugh with us too. Food was was spot on and the decor was brilliant! I can't wait to come back!

Great food large dishes, great service always very polite and welcoming.

Been here before and had the (not so) short rib. Bit too much but this time we had the ribs and wings between us. Perfect amount of food for the price

We stumbled upon this fantastic American-style bar and restaurant by chance, and the food was incredible! The home-smoked baby back ribs were the best I’ve ever had. This place is now on our favorites list, and highly recommended!!

The Smokehouse is a big, rambling restaurant and clearly gets extremely busy in the summer with all its outdoor seating although even in autumn, when I visited, it was pretty much packed to the rafters. Its concept is the typical all-American fare - burgers, hotdogs, ribs, steaks etc. I ordered a hot dog - after all who doesn't love a good hotdog. Well to be fair you get American sizes as well as the hotdog itself was massive along with a very generous portion of fries. However, the bun that the sausage came in was like a brick and completely inedible. As for the sausage - it was passable - but still tasted somewhat processed. I ordered a bowl of chilli too and that lacked flavour and was rather watery. The service was ok but frankly I barely ate anything and couldn't wait to leave.

Alf is amazing, made our lunch even better!! Kitchen sadly was a little slow and missed some of our orders but Alf saved the day being polite and a comical genius!

Well what can we say , we visited on the 11th October to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. After loads of our friends recommended we booked. We were not disappointed!! The restaurant and bar were very authentic ( my husband is from USA and felt very at home) we were greeted by a lovely friendly member of staff who took us into the bar were we ordered drinks. The lady said she would come and get us when our table was ready. We were 30 mins early. Our table was ready we were shown to our seats and asked if we wanted to order another drink which we did. Drinks came , the long island Ice tea is amazing. We ordered food. The starters came stunning presentation my husband was over the moon with his blooming onion. Our mains came and they were outstanding so much food and the quality was so good we haven't tasted burgers like this. My husband was too full for a dessert but me being be left space and ordered the key lime pie. I've never had it before and my husband wanted to try it to see if it tasted like the one in America, and it did. Our waitress was very good friendly checking in on us throughout our visit. She went above and beyond for everyone even though you were very busy. I'm sorry I didn't get her name. But we were in the far back room she made our visit very pleasant and we want to thank you , thank you all for making our anniversary very memorable. We will be back Charlotte and Aaron Baxter xxx

Second visit to The Smokehouse and loved it both times. Great atmosphere and super staff!

My two stars is to let you all know that the staff was better than the food itself. I had a ‘bird is the word’ and the chicken was dry, wasn’t worth the price it’s set at. But I will give this place another chance because I believe in second chances.

Just had a brilliant meal here. We had never been before but our friends had and really raved about it. It did not disappoint! My ribs fell off the bone and I’ve got some left for a midnight snack as well! Our waitress was really lovely, she was really funny and read the table really well, bringing plenty of laughs! Thanks for a lovely meal, we will most definitely be back!!

Lovely friendly staff. The place was decorated like an American steakhouse. The food was good we opted to share a big grill way too much. We took a lot home with us. The brazed steak and burnt ends were really good didn't leave any of those. The manageress was especially Lovely being very attentive to us taking our order and making sure we had everything we needed. Lovely place for a mid week treat .

Brilliant food and service from all the staff, brisket burger was amazing

Food excellent, great value, friendly helpful staff. They made a 21st birthday meal very special for my granddaughter 😃

Great food excellent service and lovely setting . Definitely won’t disappoint

Wholesome beef burgers fast service fair price, will need to be a big eater

The best meal ever. So was good,will defo go back again

Brilliant place with all the American themes. It was our second time eating here while on holiday. Staff are so friendly and helpful, food was amazing. Highly recommend. Can't remember our waitresses name apart from it beginning with a B and I think a Welsh name sorry. Great job though. Definitely will come again next time we are on holiday in hemsby.

Have been many times before and the food has been great. This time, all of us who had burgers said the burgers were over cooked and dry with no seasoning so were unfortunately disappointed. A few of our orders were not quite right which the waitress apologised for. Overall not as nice as previous visits.

If you like good barbecue then this place is not for you. Service was really good and it has to be because when you're passing jerky off as brisket then you need people out front who are good at covering for you. They even messed up a kids meal not once but twice. Seriously avoid, you'd be better off buying a disposable barbecue and cooking your own.

Absolutely amazing. First class food, service and atmosphere. So much so went back the following night to try more. Definitely two of the best meat feasts I've had outside of the USA. A must if visiting the area and worth making the trip even if you're not.

Lovely restaurant, fantastic atmosphere will be returning when next in Yarmouth

One of the best USA themed places I have been to. They go all out. Large portions & good food.

Had the mixed grill, it was excellent very tasty, great service all round, unique place and very welcoming, will be back when they have a band on, I’m sure that would be just as good,

Was on holiday with the my family and we've been past the smoke house a few times but never got the chance to go in! But this time we made sure we got there! And we wasn't disappointed at all it was amazing from the food to the staff! They really looked after us and made sure my two boys had everything they needed from start to finish! This will not be the last time we pay a visit! Absolutely fantastic. Thanks

Went there about a month ago on a Sunday. Got there just after 12 lunch time. The place was very nice and we was looking forwards to some nice food.Went in and ordered 6 meals at a cost of nearly £100, lady very nice who took the order. Food came very quickly but went down hill fast.Some of the food was warm at best no cutlery no salt pepper vinegar nothing and time we did finally get it the food was cold. My so called burger was dry cold and really crispy around the edge. I called the young lad over (who was very good and told him the food was crap, should have said unedable). With that along came the person who took our order and started going off at me, very unprofessional, and then trying to tell me that as its a smash burger it's supposed to be like it to keep the taste in. We'll madam I know what a smash burger is and its definitely not like that ie dry burnt and tasteless. I didn't hardly ate any of mine as she stormed off with no apology refund or anything.

Absolutely fantastic first visit !! Lillibelle (hope I spelt it correctly) was amazing! And kept it light hearted and funny never had a server like it but we would come back just for the banter ! Food was amazing portions were great ! And at such an great price ! Thanks for great first visit we will be back !

Really wanted to try this place, unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed inside. I’ll eat elsewhere.

It was the second time we’ve visited and was great! Our server was fabulous x we visited on 27/09 and sat in the area where Betty Boop (lily) was! She was fab!!!

Tons of options, food great quality and service excellent

Highly recommend large portions of food, expensive but worth it.

Some of the best brisket I have ever had, and excellent service from Branwen explained the menu very well and quick and efficient service. Definetely a 5 star experience.

Steak served on cold plates , so food was half cold . Disappointing. Would have been great if not for this. Chef should know better.

The food was gorgeous, recommended by Lexi. Service done with a smile ❤️ x

Have eaten here 3 times now. Each time gorgeous food! Great decor, great service and love the classic motors outside. Do try the meat candy.. amazing !!

Food was amazing. We will be back!

The nicest food, atmosphere , decor inside & out. Hubby had 20oz rump, I had mac n jack bites & baby ribs. Loved the bites. Not a fan of the smoke on the ribs. I understand they are smoked lol, just not my buds. Nice cocktail. Good value. My 4* is the fact we were sat under the aircon unit on a cold night, freezing whilst there. And no i didn't ask to move as were full. We tried to get in prior night (sat) no booking & full. So had to book on website to secure, during the day. Would visit again if ever in the area again. We are from Gloucester so had travelled far. But worth the visit.

Stopped here for a burger and drink. The burger rates in my top 3 all time best burgers . Well worth a visit

Food was served in good time by friendly staff. All orders were correct and cooked the we asked. I had the 11oz sirloin steak. A couple of gristley bits but that's expected with sirloin. Chips were nice. Music didn't really match the ambience, but it wasn't loud. Will visit again.

Exceptional venue. Biker night with live music one night. Atmosphere brilliant. Food was quality and plentiful. Staff top notch

We went here whilst on holiday. Is an American themed restaurant. The food was priced very reasonably and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing, with slow cooked brisket, ribs, and amazing burgers. So good we went for 2 evenings. Had lots of options, including vegetarian. Huge portions, well priced and tasted amazing. Only tiny niggle, is the music was a bit loud. Otherwise A++

Tried this place out the starters was good but then the mains let it down . But will have hope and try again to see.

Great food, super tasty, great portions. Service was a little haphazard, took a while to bring menus, order, deliver deserts (then forget two) then asked to make sure we were about to go for the next table (which I knew we needed to do but delays meant we felt rushed at the end). Would come again.

Brilliant place good atmosphere. This was our 3rd trip and everytime has been really enjoyable. Yhe staff are really helpful and very friendly went above and beyond to accommodate us. Will definitely continue to return and try more of the amazing menu.
