The food at Smoky Boys was fantastic, we love good BBQ and we were not disappointed. The ribs were utterly delicious and the burger was really good too. We dined there on a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was very quiet, which is understandable being midweek but it was a shame as they deserve to be packed out!
