Normal service with great food but no one reply my reservation till I arrived, a bit nervous cos recommended better book first according to website I found.
This is real BBQ! A fun, casual space with TOP notch food and great drinks. If you're in Joo Chiat go, and if not, it's worth a trip there.
Fast service ! Waiters very helpful and foods quality just awesome. We always having beef briskets there and we are happy and satisfied with the quality and price !
Food was great as always but service has clearly gone down from where it was a few months ago. Staff was eager to wind up at 10pm starting to pick up the condiments from the table. Not as warm as it ised to be.
Great place. Food was awesome and the servings are generous. The Beef short ribs were DELICIOUS! It was so tender and flavorful! Make sure to reserve a table here of you plan on coming since the place gets a bit crowded.
the beef brisket is succulent and the french fries well cooked. I had a hard time trying to finish the food as the quantity is too much for one to consume.Perhaps you can reduce the prices and give lesser quantity for those who cannot consume too mucn
A very poor experience. The signature ribs were very poor examples of bbq. Whist there was plenty of meat that easily came off the bone, it was dry and tasteless. No smokey flavour was evident and the bbq sauce appeared to only have been applied after cooking. To me this typifies poorly executed bbq. The garlic bread was literally a slice of white supermarket bread smeared with a negligible amount of garlic butter. I haven't experienced food this amateurish for a long long time.
We really enjoyed Smokey's BBQ Restaurant, the food, wine and service were excellent. Definitely the best American ribs we've had we will be going back!!
Yummy tacos, nachos, wings and ribs! Dip the wings in the blue cheese and you'll ask for a second helping. We will definitely be back.
Fantastic food and great craft beers! Atmosphere is welcoming and always a good game on the big screens. Truly Texas-style BBQ with everything you'd expect to enjoy!
Nice Joo Chiat neighbourhood spot to chill out in. Jalapenos poppers are a tasty nibble to start with. The St Louis port ribs are yum. BIg serving so share with friends or ask for a doggie bag. Refreshing Archipelago beers on tap.
Good food and big portions. We came out really satisfied with what we ordered. We'll definitely be back!
Excellent food, quality and tastefully, the place invite you to stay with
The staff were very friendly and the food was great. It has a nice and relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely be back! A suggestion is to expand on the menu.
Food was good although sometimes too much BBQ sauce on the meat so I ask for it on the side. Service is good and because it's a open restaurant it's quite cool. Don't go here if your on a diet as the chocolate brownie and choc chip caramel ice cream is pretty special
Was good. But getting a waiter to take orders took time.
Great food and atmosphere, prices aren't bad either. Good place to catch a game on the tele!
Great food at reasonable prices. A few things on the menu were unavailable, but what we had was good quality and simple. Would definitely go back again.
Great food and friendly staff. Superb smoked beef rib! Always a winner! No AC but there is an occasional gentle breeze that blows through the establishment. Very popular so make sure you book a table!
Great food, great beer, great place. The closest thing to good American fare one can get in Singapore.
was my second visit, the beef ribs were excellent, the blu cheese dip for the buffalo wings are a must try also. Staff was helpful n friendly. Will definitely go again.
Big portions. Quality cuts. Al in all pretty decent stuff.
Great food, reasonable prices. Our kids loved the place and are asking us to bring them back already. Staff appeared short-handed at times, but always tried their best to please. We will be back!
Food had excellent flavor and fast service. Was disappointed as some items were not available, and it was not the end of the night, but early.
Fantastic American food , pork ribs and sports bar concept
I have had a meal at Smokey's 2 previous times over a year ago, and each time was great food & service . With my family being from the US my wife requested Smokey's for mothers day in which our party of 7 included my wife, son age 13, son age 19 & his girl friend, daughter & her husband, and my self. Our reservation was @ 7pm in which we were seated fairly quickly, and order was taken fairly quickly as well. Shortly after ordering the waiter came to our table to explain that the fryer was down so they would be give us salads instead of French fries. (No problem) Then 15 minutes goes by and our party sees waiters delivering plates full of fries to tables around us some of which arrived well after our party did. So I asked the waiter if our table could get some fries as well. Waiter said he would try. Then 25-30 minutes goes by and I ask the waiter for a update on the food and he said he would check. He returned with fries and said the remainder of our food would be out in 20 minutes. At 8:45 our food finally arrived after see people served that were seated way after our party had ordered. Now the food was good but then to top off the night my sons girl friend had a piece of metal (like a staple from the packaging) in her burger. Luckily she did not bite on it to hard. We notified the waiter and she gave him the piece of metal. To end the story they tried to charge me extra for the plates of fries that were suppose to come with the meals, and then after some debate they removed the fries from the bill then offered a 10% discount ( which barely covers the cost of the meal with metal in it) on our almost $300 bill for the incontinence of waiting for 1 hour 45 minutes for our food to show up, and having metal in it.
really great ribs and beef brisket, would go again. It is a little expensive but most definitely worth it on occasion. The beers are great too if you are into craft beer.
nice setting, cosy atmosphere. food is not bad as well. waiter processed my bill and left to serve other customers without returning my card. In the end I stood up from my table to try to look for the same waiter, but to no avail. Another very observant waiter saw that I needed assistance and attended to my request immediately. Thank you for your service!
It's normally one o our favourite places here in Singapore. But last week we went back with some friends and were very disappointed. The ribs were dry and the brisket was so chewy. The brisket could probably have done a few more hours in the smoker. There must have been something wrong in the kitchen.
Food was good but service could be better. Waited long for soft drink refill and utensils.
When staff remember your name when you show up six months later, place is special! Food is amazing, best bbq in town, wings not to be missed!
Pretty nice place. Love the food. Staff was pretty attentive. Beer a bit ex.
Great Food and service. Amazing flavor in the meat and is very soft and succulent
Friendly staff and cozy settings in restaurant. Prices are reasonable but the beer is little on pricey range. Prok ribs with the BBQ are good.
We really enjoy Smokey's BBQ - authentic and delicious American BBQ and a really good beer selection. Great place we will definitely be going back.
Experience was ok, our waiter was a bit inexperienced and plenty of misunderstandings occurred. Nachos was great, ribs only ok. Overall visit was no extra in term of service or food quality.
Food was good. Reservation absolutely necessary on weekends and friday evenings. Staff could have been a little more alert.
Helpful staff. Family friendly. Happy hour prices not clearly stated though and rib quality has dropped since the last time we went. Overall, still a pleasant experience
Great food. A bit pricey, so more of a special place rather than a regular go to restaurant. A service is decent, and the gent who served us knew his stuff and saved us from ordering too much!
Nice and quiet place. Good BBQ. Highly recommend it! Ribs were excellent
One of the top bbq places in Singapore! Besides awesome steak and ribs, the beer is very good too!
Generally a great burger place with nice staff and burger paddies that really taste smokey. On our last visit the manager in charge was a bit moody and didn't pay attention as usually. But that's forgiven as usually the service is very good.
Good food to satisfy your tummy. Baby back ribs was so tender, it easily fall off the ribs.
We regularly come here for BBQ and it is always superb. The food is fantastic and the staff are friendly.
The service is fast. The food is nice. I like the baby back rib and their serving is big. The blue cheese burger is a good recommendation.
We ordered Baby-back ribs and beef brisket. Food was served fast and taste good, friendly staff and nice family place but the toilet was a bit dirty.
Really chill vibes in the heart of the Katong area with a nice homely feel and great American food
