Smokeys Brighton

I booked this blindly the day before we visited, as a group of friends were going to be visiting the I360 and wanted a restaurant close by. Smokey’s didn’t disappoint however we did have to laugh when my friend ordered a plain burger with lettuce, nothing else, and out came a burger bun with a huge amount of lettuce and no burger! Will definitely be back.

We visited Smokey’s on a horrible, wet, blustery Sunday evening so, not surprisingly, it was very quiet.
Staff were welcoming and friendly. Food arrived very quickly, good portion sizes - the beef brisket was absolutely amazing, we weren’t keen on the pulled pork but only because it had a very strong flavour - tomato/bbq and couldn’t taste the pork.
Would definitely go back and recommend to anyone wanting a good hearty meal.., the brisket is a must have!

Food portions are huge - kind of bar like but the restaurant is very quite.

Particular girl, extremely rude. Given wrong food, sent it back and they took half the food off my plate and tried to give me a smaller portion! Asked for the bill and the lady laughed and ignored me. Won’t be returning

5 star will be back 100% staff where very helpful food was a great value. kids were welcome

They were very welcoming even though we were a little late for reservation. Got "lost" after Uber dropped off. Not realizing we were almost next to it and they were downstairs. It was dark out and windy and rainy and cold

We were a table of two and were practically seated on top of a stag do (we couldn't move our chairs without touching) which meant conversation was pretty much a no-go. Food was OK but one chicken wing was cooked perfectly and the rest were underdone so they obviously weren't all cooked at the same time which was disappointing.

Another fantastic evening at Smokeys, the staff are friendly and efficient, without being overbearing. Leading to a generally friendly, vibrant environment.
The food is freshly prepared and never disappoints. The portions are very large, wear loose clothing!

Great food great service excellent waiting staff

Fantastic food and lots of it.... service really fast and friendly....love this place.

Amazing food and service. Best burger I've had in years.

Booked for 18:15 and due to traffic was going to end up late. Phoned the restaurant and they very kindly moved the reservation to 18:30. When we got there they didn't berate us for being late or tried to rush us. They were fantastic and attentive without being overbearing. Give those workers a raise!

Excellent service as usual. Food was great as usual. Good value for money. A little too noisy on this visit

Our host was lovely she gave good advice on the menu and ensured all good was too a good quality. Very friendly and advised where to go for the rest of the evening.

Smokey’s provided the perfect place for a pre concert meal in a good atmosphere.nthe staff were willing to please and efficient. Our waiter made us an excellent Irish coffee even though he only had ordinary and not squirts cream! “Good!” We said. We shall return. Oh food was delicious and portions were not stingy!

Daughters 15th birthday - she loves smokeys!! Everything great as always!! Thank you

Booked a table for me and my 12 year old Daughter prior to attending the Brighton Center for WWE wrestling show. Service was quick and attentive. I was aware due to previous reviews that the portions were large so I ordered chicken and ribs with fries and slaw, which is one dish, for us both to share. The food arrived within 10 mins and was hot, plentiful and delicious. 10/10 in my opinion.

Good meal, restaurant was pretty quiet, this led to bad ambience with poor lighting and music. Food was decent though.

We were staying at the Hotel above 'Smokey's' and decided to give the restaurant a 'go' for Dinner.... (& Breakfast)....
The Service was Awesome.. the staff were friendly and welcoming.... The food was great. Served up quickly and piping hot...
What a great place to eat out...!!! I'm soooo coming again..

My first visit to Smokey’s and I was not disappointed, I starved myself all day as I read on reviews that portions were large, this was true and I couldn’t move after 3 courses.
Great beer and wine selection and served in the correct beer glass.
The only gripe I had was service was a tad slow given it wasn’t very busy .
But don’t let that put you off as it’s a great place for good food and good portions!

Nice place worth a visit. Casual dining experience

The food is great and lots of it. Make sure youre hungry. The staff are brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble. Very friendly and attentive. Well done to all at Smokeys

Good food, massive portions, friendly staff, and relaxed atmosphere

second visit in a few weeks, just fantastic. Loved the place and the food. Will be back soon. Food was 10 out of 10 and same with the service. Thank you

Wonderful friendly service, clean, good atmosphere even on the Sunday night when we dined, lovely location on the seafront for a stroll after eating, huge portions and accomodating to out requests due to fussy eaters, good value for money, go hungry !

Great place, friendly staff. Service a bit slow but food plentiful and delicious. Their special thing is breakfasts. Their full English spoils you for any other.

OK nice and clean.... not busy so thought I would get quick turn around no unfortunately not . 7 off us eating it all came out in dribs and drabs ... would try it again though

Very well looked after by our waitress, warm but professional. Food plentiful and good value for money

Food and staff were great.

Only issue was we had a table at 9.30pm and The staff were cleaning all the table around us so I guess they could leave when we finished but we just had the smell of wood polish that was so strong. Also it wasn't so romantic having that.

I don't think they should do that until we have finished eating. It made us feel rushed and bad that they were impatient.

Food was great tho and staff were very friendly. Defo go back

Food was authentic to the theme and portions were generous. Sadly, it took over 30 minutes for the starters to come and then another 45 minutes from clearing to producing the mains - despite the fact that we had booked and were only a table of 4. Such a shame. Otherwise would have been a good experience.

Excellent meal. First time we had been there. Would recommend it.

Quite a nice evening. Staff seemed to have forgotten us at first but were quite good after that. Waitress particularly helpful with advice on what to order for our (quite fussy) kids. Unfortunately they forgot the coleslaw with my brisket and I didn't realise till afterwards!
Room was pretty cold with all the doors open.
Bill was steep but probably the going rate for Brighton. Four of us ate for about £100 with tip - only one starter, no desserts, two rounds of drinks.

Excellent as usual, fantastic staff and food, the Mac and cheese is wonderful, husband enjoyed the brisket and rib combo, I had smoked chicken fjahitas, we had to have a side order of Mac and cheese, highly recommend, you will not be disappointed
5 ⭐️

The portions are huge so forgo the starters. Nice atmosphere outside in the summer watching the world go by.

Have eaten here on a number of occasions. The staff are always friendly. The food is always cooked well, and the portion size is on the large side. Good value for money. Can be noisy. We will be going back, and would recommend this restaurant.

The service and ambiance was great! The staff there were attentive and friendly. The portions are very generous. But the food itself left a lot to be desired. The items from the “Smoker” lacked any trace of smoke flavour. Unfortunately, the food is what let the place down.

ordered steak medium but was literally still alive on my plate.
mac & cheese wasn't macaroni was pasta.
Calamari starter was so chewy it might as well be chewing gum.

Food absolutely delicious, fast service. Beware of portion sizes - my dad has only ever not been able to finish a meal once in his life before Smokeys.. but he was beaten by his mammoth portion of mac n cheese!
Server also swapped a garlic bread for plain very easily.
All in all, a brill place to eat whenever you're in Brighton.

Fantastic, tasty food. Waitress gave us some recommendations as this was our first trip to Smokey’s. the sharing platters are great value and a huge amount of food. Friendly staff lovely seafront position. What more can you ask? We will be going back soon.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!! This my 5th time coming to smokeys since I found it a couple of months ago, and can I just say it is absolutely amazing, I live 2 hours away, deffo worth the drive. Huge portions definitely worth the money, and love lovely staff!!!
