We've been here a few times on a Friday evening. The food is lovely, drinks and cocktails great, prices are good and the place is lovely..... the reason we wont be returning is that one of the staff was in the toilet when my husband went in and the staff member used the toilet then walked straight out without going near the sink to wash his hands. This is disgusting! He served had already served our food and our drinks! Gross!!

Went as a group of 4 on Saturday night (mid October), restaurant wasn't overly busy but not many sea side places are out of season, the service and the food was outstanding, im a wings lover the hotter the better but the INFERNO wings even pushed me to my limits still very very tasty though but only order them if you really do like fire. A great thick burger that i had was excellently cooked as were the steaks that the other members of our party ordered,, All in all a brilliant meal and a very reasonable price

Looks great from the outside but another story inside. Full of flies, sticky floor and unclean tables and menus. Bottles of sauce that looked like they had been on the tables months, sticky with dried sauce all around the lids. Really really grubby place. Toilets were absolutely disgusting! Dirty nappy’s on the floor, toilet roll everywhere, toilets wouldn’t even flush properly and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months. Just as the rest of the place to be honest. The place was empty so can’t even say they were too busy to keep on top it f everything. Even the food still took a while to come and that was disappointing when it arrived. The meat was tasteless and so so DRY. I can see that this sort of place has great potential but as it stands very very poor hygiene standards from the places it’s self and even staff there. I feel awful even saying this but feel like it needs to be said. Someone was wearing absolutely filthy clothes and when serving our table I couldn’t help but notice the dirt under his finger nails. Really off putting. Overall Hygiene standards non existent and terrible food.

Went here with my friends a couple of nights ago after having come to this restaurant a couple of years ago and everything about the place was brilliant. This visit however was anything but to be honest. First of all when we were seated we were told there wasn’t any steaks on the menu at all that particular night, ok fine, abit disappointing as one of the party was wanting a steak and was saying all day how much they were looking forward to it. Then we were told that drinks would be about a 25 minute wait. The server told us that they were understaffed that night, but there was only one other table in the restaurant! Surely drinks don’t take 25 minutes?! We asked for a jug of water for the table when we ordered drinks and had to ask for it again when he came to take food orders. When the jug of water did arrive the glasses absolutely stunk of wet dog, disgusting! My partner went to the bar and told the man behind the bar and all he did was half heartedly apologise and said that the dishwasher tablets must need changing. We also asked to have clean cutlery as the knives in the bucket that they’re served in were absolutely filthy! I don’t know what’s happened but it’s a far cry from the first time I went! Decor outside was really cool and retro, just looks and feels dingy and cigarettes all over the floor. The only thing we all enjoyed were the cocktails which were lovely to be honest, but too much other bad stuff happened and put us off from going again. Massive shame and won’t recommend to others anymore.

Just generally disappointed with the level of hygiene. The place was pretty empty but still had plates of food on tables. When the plates had been moved the tables were never wiped. The menus and our table we’re dirty and sticky had to get menus off other tables I found two in the whole main area. The food was pretty average very greasy, and not cooked very well. The toilets were disgusting totally put me off from going again. Fine if your drunk but not soba with your family! Needs a good deep clean!

Really unhappy with the service and the food. One particular staff was rude and made excuses and when told it’s ok to apologise but don’t make excuses. Happened when my husband and I went to order the chicken, waffle and mash potatoes meal as well as brisket and pulled pork and corn on the cob. The brisket and pulled pork was warm not hot as the food should be which I hardly touch as it is bland and dry then my saving grace for food is corn on the cob and it was freezing as I bite them, complained about it and got another one and again the butter wouldn’t melt as the middle of it is freezing and some part of the top are cold. Really??? How hard is it to cook this particular food???? Then the staff named Sophie is making excuses and even told me That she removed the J2O on the bill as it was the same price of the corn! I said to her I don’t care about the drinks that you removed and stop making excuses as she said oh we were busy. However, there’s only five table they’re serving and it’s not an excuse! And she said when I told her about making excuses that she isn’t the manager so she cannot do anything about and all those time she interact with us her face was tripping. What kind of customer service is this? Bad food and bad customer service from Sophie. Need to go back and learn the first protocol of working in this kind of environment, that is make people feel welcome and not make customer feel we are (customer) a bother. So not going back there.

We went in just to get quench our thirst from walking around cleethorps when the doors opened. And was blown away with the staff that was busy cleaning and serving the tables that was in. Could not fault them with anything they did. Amazing drinks made by a bubble young lady behind the bar and was tempted with the food so had to try it after chatting to the chap cooking. All I have to say is mouth watering. Don't believe me then you have to go and experience it for your self.

Me and my boyfriend visited tonight for a Valentine's day meal, we had only been once before nearly two years ago for our first anniversary and really enjoyed it so decided to return tonight. My boyfriend had the steak on the stone and he really enjoyed It, decent peice and size of meat; I tried a BIT and absolutely loved it and don't usually like steak if I had tried it before ordering we would of got the two steak Valentine's deal. My boyfriend's only issue was because the steak is served on the stone it carries on cooking as there's no where to put it and he likes his steak still mooing! Not a big deal, will just ask for a little plate for it next time really not a big deal at all. I had the brisket and pulled pork with onion rings and the sour cream mash. Not really a complaint but I probably would of liked the brisket to be warmer it wasn't exactly cold but I put it on the steak stone for a couple of seconds and it made a massive difference. Pulled pork was absolutely perfect. Mash is one of my favorite foods i have it everywhere i go When we was here two years ago I said that it was the best mash I had ever tasted, and still stick to that after tonight. It's smooth, creamy and full of flavour. Highly recommend. We were greeted by a really friendly bubbly man (possibly management assuming due to smart outfit) he offered us drinks and we had the 2 for 1 cocktails, I had strawberry woo woo and my boyfriend got jammy dodger, neither of us liked the opposite drink but loved our own. There was a very wide selection of cocktails and other drinks, plenty to choose from. We had fast service and check ups which was appreciated. We were offered dessert but gutted that we couldn't managed it would of loved to of tried some, will make sure we leave room next time. Highly recommend, many different menu choices, amazing food, great atmosphere, the decorations in the restaurant make it feel like an authentic American bbq place; very modern. Our table was decorated with petals, candles, a rose and confetti; it was the perfect amount to not take over the table but really gave it a more romantic feel. We had a great experience and glad that we had chose the smokestack for Valentine's day, hope to return soon!

My wife and I visited the Smokeshack a few weeks ago the baby back ribs were lovely but there were a few issues that really spoilt the visit for us. Firstly we were greated quickly and shown to a table. Once sat down I picked up a bottle of BBQ sauce to find it covered in sticky sauce all over and this was the same with 3 other bottles on the table. I asked the waiter if he could clean them and fill them up which he said he would then went off and never returned. I ordered the baby back ribs and some brisket. Now taking in to consideration brisket is one of the cheapest cuts of beef I expected more than 3 tiny slices of meat for £6 or so.

So this place is meat heaven, my companions had the pit tray, I am told it was very nice, the sausage and brisket being the best, the ribs were good but the pulled pork the weakest one. The northern fries were really tasty, if you want to you can order the cajun and brisket gravy separately, it doesn't state it on the menu as an option though. For all you non meat eaters the beetroot veggie burger was really good, we would all go back again.

Really enjoyed the food here. I had the pit plate. Only criticism is that the pulled pork could have done with some sauce on. My wife had burnt ends and wings. The sauce the wings was cooked in was amazing. Not as hot as I make at home but was delicious. Sticky, sweet and meat falling off the bone. Burnt ends were great only slightly behind the ends at our local bbq place. Little one had burger and fries. Always says a lot about the food when you eat past the point you’re full and still end up leaving some on the plate.

I've been to Applebys in Time Square and it's got nothing on this place. Ignore the bad reviews, they read like nit picky people anyway. Travelled the world and don't review that much.....but this place gets 5 stars for what it is. Be warned the portions are massive - try the ribs!!!

We liked the look, but having spoken to locals weren’t sure whether to go or not- apparently they’ve had quite a turn over of staff. Decided to find out for ourselves. We went Thursday tea time so it wasn’t very busy. Food was delicious, drinks were okay. Our waiter Mark introduced himself as the new manager. He was very friendly and helpful. I have to say the toilets were dirty, and given the time of day there was no excuse, so come on Mark get them sorted!

We visited this restaurant last night. We walked in and there was two other tables taken but by the time we had our drink there was no one except us in there. We ordered two starters and two mains. Our mains came out before the starters and when we said we ordered starters the waiter just said oh I thought you wanted it all together? Erm no that’s why they are called starters. We just tucked into our mains and starters to then not be able to eat it as it was stone cold! The waiter then came over to ask us is everything ok. We said politely that the food is stone cold and can’t eat it. He then said oh I will sort it. 40 mins passed by and no one came to see us with any sort of response. We then put our coats on and walked to the bar to find all members of staf just sat there. We said to the waiter again we Are not happy he then shrugged and said why what wrong with it. We then explained how our mains came out before starters and the food was stone cold and to top it of we complained and no one had the decency to come over to even apologise. Th fact we was the only people in the restaurant makes it even worse. We paid £25 and that was all we was willing to pay and that was to cover the wine we had. They didn’t even give us an apology or any compensation to this huredous service. We only paid that because that’s all we gave them not because they offered it to us. Avoid!!!

Unfortunately, due to only being in the area for one night, and the restaurant simultaneously experience supplier issues, The Smokeshack was unable to serve any ribs or sausages, which would have been mine and my partners first choices hands down. Instead, we ordered the dirty burger and the brisket with numerous sides. I would say not to order as much as we did as the portions are very generous.

The service was great both nights( same waitress) even though on the 2nd night there were 25-30 people on a works do there, it was still delivered within a few minutes. The place is rough and ready - but that's what it's supposed to be - American roadhouse style , graffiti and neon signs and basic furniture.

Waited 45 Minutes for mains and then we were given the wrong mains only for the waiter to take them back to the kitchen and back out to another customer. When we did receive the right food it was really dry and tasteless and neither of us could finish our dinner. We tried the Smokehouse in Grimsby and thought it was the same company as the last time we went there the food and service was awesome. To finish we were never asked how our dinner was as we could both see the waiter was embarrassed and did not want to ask as I think he knew what was coming. Real shame.

We were shown to a table and the menu choices explained, our granddaughter ate from the children menu but we were surprised at the portion size, 3 chicken strips 2 half corn on the cob's and fries. between us we tried the 2 types of ribs, brisket, and a really good burger with plenty of sides including pit beans topped with pulled pork. it was a very enjoyable and filling meal, the brisket was low and slow cooked and melted in your mouth. we did have desserts but they were ok rather than great. the service throughout was very good. and plenty of room around your table and great access for wheelchairs and pushchairs. we will certainly go again a great place for very good bbq style food.

The staff are so polite and the food is great. I'd highly recommend to anyone, especially now they have started serving freakshakes.

... what a shambles of a place, ordered drinks and waited 25 minutes for them to turn up had to go to bar to remind them we were there, ordered a large rosè and got a small glass of white wine delivered to table , the food was undercooked apart from that the steaks are good... silver lining I suppose

Came for mothers day and ended up walking out. Their was a pile of sick on the front door which we had to step over to get in. Service was terrible we had to keep asking to be served. Tried to take my son to the toilet but it was absolutely discusting their was dirty nappies thrown all over the floor, blocked toilets and water all over the floor. Just ended walking out in the end. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!

Took my boyfriend here for a surprise meal for his birthday, his friends got there before we did although wasn't really a surprise when the cake his friends brought 15 minutes before he got there was on the side where you wait to be seated as nobody had took it in the back so he saw his cake, sat down and ordered drinks which took somebody 20 minutes to come to our table to ask us, 3 requests for Diet Coke and when they came to the table with the drinks we asked if they was diet and the waiter informed us they'd ran out so instead of not been asked if we wanted alternative drinks they poured us normal Coke anyways, had to get up twice to ask for a round of drinks later on in the night because the first time we asked we were told somebody would come over and 10 minutes later we were still sat there with no drinks, food was average and service was shocking, was so upset that my intentions of my boyfriend having a nice surprise birthday was ruined, only positive was the one waitress who seated us was lovely and apologised for the wait time when presenting the bill, will not be visiting here again

I visited the Smokeshack one Monday around 3.30pm, I was surprised that we were offered to dine at such a time. Myself and friends have also eaten at the sister establishment in Grimsby.

Couldn't decide between a steak or burger and asked the waitress - who was great and attentive what she thought and she said go for the burger they are home made. Well I've honestly had better frozen burgers at home , and I'm not a fussy Eater. It was burnt , no flavour and just nothing nice about it. Was so disappointed as the pictures seen on Facebook etc looked amazing. The cocktails were nice and customer service great just the food was a let down and I hated paying for a meal that was such a let down. I expected the restaurant to be quite full on a Friday night but it was dead and absolutely freezing!!!! We all sat with our coats on shivering, this really needs sorting out as no one wants to pay to eat out and be freezing, sadly won't be returning.

6 hours after eating there threw it all up, 30quids worth of food and drink spent on ribbs and beer wasted, restaurant was also freezing cold, staff were. Asked to do something, and eventually brought out two small fan heaters, too little, too late.

First visit to the smokeshack and wasn't disappointed. Was welcomed by Lauren at the door and shown to our table. Drinks order taken and we weren't rushed into ordering the meal. Ordered St Louis ribs and beef brisket, absolutely fantastic. Will definitely be going back.

Was impressed tonight it was our first visit. There was a great variety of cocktails. The food was lovely. It's such value for money here to. You get so much food. Nobody could leave here feeling hungry. Two meals 2 cocktails each £48 bargain!! One was a steak meal to! My only complaint is that when entering we felt slightly ignored as nobody was in a rush to get us seated, I did eventually have to ask if we just sit down to make a point. Only criticism .

We went early to this place. The staff were very Friendly and the service was good. My Meal of Brisket and Pulled Pork was very nice indeed. They serve the meat warm not hot. But the Creamy mash was also only just warm as well - by the time you get to the end of your food it is cold.

I didn't really enjoy it, wasn't keen on the sauce on the burnt ends, also expected the meat to be more tender fall of the bones but it wasn't.

We were left disappointed when several items where not on the menu which we wanted. The standard chips were a little greasy and the brisket a little chewy but the wings and pulled pork were really nice. Sweet potato fries were good too but I was informed the burger patties where a little bland. The place has good decor and has great potential but I feel like they need to either narrow stuff down on the menu or order more food in to avoid disappointed customers.

I visited with some work colleagues on a quiet December weeknight. The good points were, the waitress was pleasant and the service was OK (4*) and the food presented quite well. But the downside was the burger I ordered was well overcooked and "Dirty Fries" were soggy (I would rate the food at tops, 2*). It was claimed that the burgers were "home made" (I don't think so!) so with that in mind, I asked for a burger to be cooked medium rare but unfortunately the restaurant were unable to do that on "supposed" health and safety grounds.

Staff were very friendly, they were attentive but not too attentive. The food was beautiful, it was all very clean and the food was prompt and well presented, it was actually hot whereas in some restaurants the food is lukewarm. For the level of service that was received it was cheap.

Was really looking forward to trying this out. The place was quite empty, but service wasn't brilliant either. The food is very expensive for what you get. Thus place is very overrated, wouldn't go back. More suited for the younger generation, however our 24 year old didn't rate it either

We visited last night (15th October) as a party of four and found the food to be very good and tasty and the staff very attentive. The portion sizes were huge and well presented.I must agree with the previous review though about the toilets.This really does need to be addressed and was our only gripe. We would have given 5/5 if the loos were better.

We wanted to try a different meal experience, this certainly was that, the food was below average I had a dirty dog my food was Luke warm, chip came in a tin cup which was really different but these where over cooked and hard, My husband had pulled pork and slow brisket platter, the brisket tasted of nothing, chips hard, no culturey on table some sauce weren't ladelled so it was take a guess.

Tried this restaurant out at the weekend. I was a little sceptical as I'd tried it's sister chain (The Smokehouse) in Grimsby and really didn't rate it (had problems with both the service and my food). However this was slightly better.

Don’t bother. Your food won’t arrive and they won’t care at all when you phone and ask where it is. Absolutely screw this place.
