A. R.

What a wonderful little restaurant this is. Extremely helpful and friendly staff and the food was delicious. We struggle to find decent places that combine vegetarian for my partner and meat options for me, I had the holy trinity which is a combination of all the different smoked meats and my partner had a bean and beetroot burger. Both were extremely tasty and plenty of them both. Would definitely recommend.

Welcomed back here after some time away. My wife and I actually got engaged here around 6 years ago! We have had so many great times here, from birthday parties with large groups to more intimate dinners. Each time has been brilliant. Returned here with our little one and it was great to be welcomed back so warmly. Jaz and the staff are so welcoming and the food is always great. Highly recommend you try this little gem. We have just arrived home (we now travel from England to visit the restaurant!) and already cannot wait to return.

Absolutely superb meal of meat here - so much that we had to take a doggy bag home which is unheard of. Staff were also great and very welcoming. Can't recommend enough

J. H.

Absolutely incredible! The Holy Trinity is complete perfection - the wife and I were arguing over what was better, the ribs or the brisket. The answer was obviously, both. 10/10 will be heading back very very soon.

C. S.

The most amazing food ive had in cardiff. I had the holy trianity and even met the chef to say thank you.

Great atmosphere and overall experience here in vibrant Pontcanna (though my wife were sat between two shouty tables with the loudest laughes I've every heard, which got a bit tedious after a while). The staff bustle around enthusiastically, but we had to wait 20 mins to order food. The plates were huge when they did finally arrive. Well cooked and great flavours. Very filling. A meat eaters paradise. Good selection of American beers though expensive, while the plentiful food was actually good value.

P. M.

Great beer selection, nice place and good ambiance. I chose the brisket which was quite fatty and half for me was inedible. People I doned with had the ribs and loved them.

Food was delicious and plentiful and the service was second to none

I visited The Smoke House for my 60th birthday meal. It is a lovely place with a great atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Our waitress Stephanie was amazing and couldn't have made our visit any more pleasurable. She even put a candle in my brisket and sang me Happy Birthday 😍 The food was very good but I wouldn't say it was brilliant. I had the Brisket which I found a tad dry. The flavours were above average although a little more smoke would have lifted it to another level. My wife and friend had the Holy Trinity sharing platter. Again the brisket was over cooked and dry, as was the pulled pork and chicken wings. The ribs were cooked to perfection butt overly sweet for my liking. The chips were perfect, the Jerk corn on the cob carried way too much seasoning which totally overpowered the taste of the corn. The slaw was uninspiring but the house pickles were second to none. All in all I have no real complaints and will definitely be returning.

Don’t confuse this with the awful place in Cardiff Centre. The food and experience here is a million times superior. Best BBQ in Wales

A. A.

Excellent food with good gluten free options (but sadly not the brisket or pulled pork!) Lovely service. Great burgers. Some of he dishes quite large, so check with the server. Largest Afogato I ever had!

Really great cool little restaurant serving very good food.

N. H.

Amazing place, the best onion rings ever, I usually only rate places I would give four or five stars, but I would give this more than 5 if I could. Love it.

T. N. (.

Stunning food and friendly service. St. Louis ribs to die for. If you want the real bbq stuff, book in advance and preorder - you won't regret it

J. S.

Food was lovely. They have a good menu with plenty of varied options. Staff were helpful. Cosy restaurant. However the tables are very small and they don't serve draft beer, only small 300ml bottles at £4.50 each.

D. I.

Absolutely stunning food and service. Loved the homemade barbeque sauce! Steak was nice and juicy. The onion rings were very crispy and had a lovely taste. Definitely coming back!

m. s.

Came here by mistake and really pleased we did😊. ..the girls were lovely and polite, seated us without any fuss and the food was amazing! Steak was delicious and the brisket more so. Finished off with a home made key lime pie...yum. our server Stephanie was lovely!

D. P.

Wonderful staff and amazing food.

E. B.

Very nice, I actually rolled out of here cos I could not stop eating the food 🤣

S. N.

The Smoke House is fairly decent, I would realistically say more 3.5 stars. The food is generally fine, it's never been exceptional only good. The frustrating part is it's been quite variable over the years. Pricing is ok. Toilets could be improved.

N. T.

Had the pitmaster. Was lovely. My friend had the ribs they were huge and very tasty. Also we had the hot wings! Wow they were hot!!! Very nice. Staff were lovely and friendly! Highly recommended!

T. M.

Excellent meal as usual. This is our go-to restrurant in Cardiff. Very tasty bbq food. Watch out for the portion size as they are large - bring your appetite!

C. J.

Always great food and attentive service. Very popular local restaurant which I highly recommend. Don't be surprised to go home with a doggy bag - portions are generous!

E. E.

Excellent service, lovely atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, if you go have the sweet potato fries, and red cabbage slaw.

Once again a superb meal, fab buffalo wings starter and the holy trinity defeated us again (best doggy bag ever) the girls recommended the biscoffe cheesecake and it didn't disappoint, as they say here in the 'diff it was lush!

I've been to smokehouse many times and I still think it's the best American BBQ I. South Wales. That's right to me, flavour, price and texture beat hang fire.

N. J.
