Smokehouse 138

Went here with family for Sunday tea. Didn't book just turned up. Got seats no problem. Dining area is small so phoning first is probably a good idea. Has licenced bar with beer and spirit. Parking is on street. Menu is great and child portions are available. Food is very good and well priced. Staff are really helpful. Enjoyed the food and experience so will be back soon.

A lovely little restaurant with very welcoming staff, just what the area needs. The food was great, will definitely be visiting again.

Highly recommended. Best burger place around here

My fiance and I had a fantastic meal here. We tried the platter which had a little of each meat on. The food was delicious and the portions very generous. We ended up taking home more than we are on the night. The combination of high quality and volume is very rare. They also offer a buy one get one free offer on cocktails which my fiancee enjoyed immensely. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere and decor we're interesting. Definitely a hidden gem.

Me and my girlfriend went for my birthday and we had some of the best food at a restaurant we've ever had. The service was amazing, and the atmosphere was brilliant. We ordered the platter with some sides and struggled to finish it. You get amazing quality food, and massive portions. We are definitely coming back soon!

This is a great little place, we went on New Years Eve, I had the Dirty Burger ( two homemade burgers covered in chilli con carne) and my partner had the porker ( two homemade burgers covered with pulled pork) both served with fries and coleslaw. Yum. Washed down with a gin and tonic for me and a beer for my partner. Can't fault it.

The atmosphere and attention to detail with the food and service was outstanding. Visited with the family for a meal out and was recommended the smoke house even though we are located in Salford we still decided to go pay a visit best thing we ever did it had a warm family friendly feeling and the food was fantastic we definitely recommend paying a visit.

It is very rare I leave a review, especially a positive one but I was so impressed with this place I felt I had to. If you want to save yourself a read of my essay below... If you love meat, get yourself to this place ASAP! Don't question it, just go!

A party of 16 of us came here for a birthday meal.

The Venue
This small but stylish restaurant is split over two levels, the lower being a bar area and the upper being a seating area. It is nicely decorated with a rock bar atmosphere. It was very clean and tidy and all tables are nicely laid out with a decent spacing between each. With 16 of us being together on one large table it did feel a little bit snug for those of us with broader shoulders and bigger guts but not to the point it was an issue. The staircase is quite steep so be mindful if you take any elderly people.

The Staff
Upon entry we were greeted by the owner who was friendly and inviting, he immediately made us feel welcome and quickly got us some drinks. We were boring and just had a fruit cider, I was driving so only had the one but would have loved to try some of their cocktails, the barman/mixologist was hard at work whipping up some very nice looking cocktails. All of the staff where very friendly, polite and professional. They all made us feel really welcome and couldn't do enough to help us. If felt like a personal service which is a rarity these days, especially around here. You can tell the team have a passion for great food and drink

The Food
Its hard to put into words how good this food is. I had the brisket and its was cooked to perfection! It melted in the mouth, was so tender I could have done with a spoon vs a fork, it came with a beautiful bourbon sauce, the brisket didn't really need this because it was so flavoursome but when combined... wow. I also sampled other dishes around the table and was impressed with everything. The sticky chicken was great, the bacon burger was brilliant. The potion sizes were good, especially my brisket and even the homemade coleslaw went down a treat. Consensus around the table was everything was beautiful.

To Sum up
I will be highly recommending this place to anyone and everyone that will listen. This little gem of a restaurant and if like me you are a bit of a carnivore get yourself down to this place ASAP! They do take away as well and we will be all over this on pay day.

If the team read this. You should be very proud of yourselves and I just want to say thank you again for making my girlfriends birthday meal so great! We loved it and will most certainly back (if you couldn't have guessed from the above)

Thanks again
Jon
