The Smoke Haus - Cardiff

Great place for a meal, not really a family pub / restaurant, as I think small children would be boring waiting for food when it was busy, staff were great and very helpful, food was good, only disappointment was the dessert, ice cream Sundae, it's just ice cream in a Posh glass with Quirty cream on the top, the ice has not much taste and she could only have one or two fresh earth.

Great experience at the smoke haus! It's an American style restaurant with a great choice of food, from various type of burgers, to meat, ribs, sandwiches or other dishes! Plenty of choice for every taste! I personally chose the baby pork ribs (full rack) and they were delicious! The service was quick and staff friendly, so absolutely a good experience!

Update August 2022 Move to 5 stars. Music quieter, service EXCELLENT. Metal trays seem to be new and better quality. However seats still uncomfortable if not in a booth. Food Outstanding. Prices really excellent for portion. Wings Wednesday an absolute bargain. March 2022 Warm welcome. Clean tables. Spotless facilities. Lighting a bit too dim amd music too loud if you want to chat with a table if more than 4. Varied menu but not obviously well suited for vegetarians. Service ok. Excellent quality food. Drinks served quickly. Chairs really uncomfortable so not a place to sit long term. Food served on metal trays and trangia's, with no plates which made it feel cheap and difficult to eat. BBQ sauce excellent. Great portion sizes.

This is a great place, friendly staff, attentive and well maintained. Good food presentation, big portions. A compliment to the cook. Today as a family we enjoyed the food and the wonderful atmosphere. We definitely come back with friends. Thank you.

THE standard for which all bbq should be measured against. Having been to my fair share of bbq places in search of the best, this is hands down up there, but also my personal favourite. I entered and noticed the lack of smell of smoke, but I was so pleasantly surprised when I dove in. The telltale smoke ring was there, the smoke taste had penetrated the whole cut, it was the real deal. Warm not hot, another easy way to tell authenticity. I would come back just for this. Only downside was the chips were a little lacking for me personally, but the rest more than made up for it.
