I'm a tough customer when it comes to American BBQ but these guys hit the spot. The restaurant is bright and welcome and staff are friendly and attentive. The big stack burger was multiple layers of juicy meaty goodness. The slow cooked beef was extremely soft and juicy, melding with the beef patty perfectly. Every bite had me wanting to teleport like Jon the Food Don. The tenders were soft and moist, not dried up like other places. They gave us a range of sauces which perfectly complimented the chips and tenders. I would highly recommend a visit especially if you're a fan on American BBQ.

I had a great time at this American-style restaurant. The food was delicious with lots of variety, and everything was really good quality. The service was amazing—super friendly and fast. Drinks were lovely too. Definitely a 5/5. Went there for the first time today and would definitely go again.

Smokey’s in Walthamstow is a rustic gem where Texas barbecue meets East London charm. As a gentleman accustomed to the calmer rhythms of suburban life, I found its brisket superbly tender, the ribs rich and smoky, and the sides — particularly the loaded fries — both indulgent and ample. The ambience strikes a fine balance between laid-back and lively, warm lighting adding to its welcoming appeal. Service is cheerful and attentive, and the meat platters are generous enough to satisfy even the most discerning appetites. In short: a fine spot for hearty fare and honest flavour.

Solid top marks. Soft and buttery brisket with a choice of sauces that complement. The platter meal is enough for 2 people

I went there on a Saturday. I got the beef brisket with potato salad and lemonade. Loved the smokey taste which reminds me of the traditional European smoked foods and also loved the variety of flavours. I tried cherry bbq. Staff were friendly, place very clean.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Smokey’s BBQ! The food was incredible—rich in flavor and cooked to perfection. What made the visit even better was the friendly staff. I don’t remember her name exactly, but I believe it was Rupa—her customer service was outstanding. She was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure every customer felt welcome and well taken care of. It’s rare to find a place that offers both amazing food and exceptional service. Huge shoutout to her for making my visit so enjoyable—I’ll definitely be coming back

Juicy brisket and the best mac and cheese at an amazing price. Just as good as Burnt without the long queues and better seating! Quick, friendly service and a clean environment too. Hidden gem - will definitely will be back!
