Absolutely fantastic food and service. £36 for that huge plate of food was definitely worth it. Ate some and took the rest home, for a evening snack and reheat lunch the next day. As for the service charge moaners. If the service is good, then pay the damn 10% ya cheap skate or go to KFC and get there crap.
This place is the BEST, it's worth coming to Cambridge just to eat here. The food is amazing and the staff are really friendly and helpful. Loved it and could not fault it in anyway.
Tried the mushroom veggie burger and it was amazing
I quite liked their innovative call-the-waiter thing (installation). The service was unbelievably quick and very efficient. A must-try in Cambridge!
We came here for a works team day out, very conveniently located from the station. Food was incredible. The pancakes for breakfast were delicious and the pork ribs for lunch even better. My Mai Tai Sour also went down too easy. Service was friendly and quick. Really nice vibe. Have been to both restaurants now and will back again!!
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Warm welcome, high chair immediately sorted, fast and efficient service. Then there's the food, which was fantastic, perfectly cooked, amazing flavours.
I can'r wait to come back
Excellent service and great food. Quick to order and for food to arrive. Free kids during half term.

Have been visiting Smokework for around 3 years now, never disappointed. My favourite place to eat �
Great casual dining experience, food, beer, staff and of course the decor are part of it, love the orange cable lights !!
Highly recommended.
Great food. Good service. Loved the decor too. Good fun wearing our bibs. Really needed them with the ribs. Suggest you go beef.
Great second location for one of my favourite places for a spot of lunch. Rapid service, so it's perfect for lunch break treats! My favourite item on the menu is the corn.
As always fabulous food also speedy and polite service. Made to feel very welcome.

Great burgers and small spaces equals a cramped and noisy atmosphere. It's what it is and just fine. Next to us was a super loud table shouting and people with high pitched voices and that was quite annoying. Table service was great and very good suggestions. Sadly, the menu is quite standard and there's nothing I would die to return for. The other issue is parking....just forget it.
The food was good but I wasn't blown away by it and I've had better smoked meat before. Service was good, but the lighting was very bright - I would recommend turning it down slightly for a better atmosphere
Great atmosphere and incredible food! Best wings we have ever had! Got the Korean BBQ and Buffalo n Blue wings done crispy and wow, so good- the flavours were great and crispy wings were perfectly done! We also had a full rack of baby back ribs that were great. The cocktails were fab too!
I have come here a couple of times. I've tried the drinks, the food and the darts.
This place has a unique industrial aesthetic I love. Including some really cool light pathways that light up when you press a button to call.the waiter.
The food was fairly unremarkable for a vegetarian, but serviceable. Probably a better choice for meat-eaters.
The drinks were weird to a European like me, for example a coke with vanilla ice cream in it, but surprisingly nice!
Finally, me and the group I went with had great fun with the dart games. There were plenty of game modes to play, it detected the score automatically pretty reliably, and it was overall a great time.
The staff were so helpful. I am someone with dietary problems and they knew their menu inside and out. The food was just amazing. The real ale I'm told was great but wow the cocktails were lush. Our after dinner darts was so much fun we even had some coaching from one of the staff. An excellent place
Isn't anything like this in my area so it was a treat. Really tasty food, came out quickly, beer was good. Prices were fine I think in respect to the area, wasn't expecting the service charge tacked on the end but I probably missed that off the menu, if not you should fix that.
Parking is not their fault but was a pain, I got lucky though.
Amazing!
Went there for a quick lunch with my partner and honestly couldn't be more pleased.
The milkshakes were so tasty, usually other shops make them super milky and add little to no chocolate flavour, this one however, not only great in size, but very much worth more than you pay!
Lovely service and great atmosphere, really enjoyed the light system to get attention of waitress.
Looking forward to going again for the darts and other activities they have there when Im next in town :).

monster ribs - 7/10
classic dog - 10/10
spicy nachos - 8/10
chicken burger - 8/10
the monster ribs were alright, but the pulled pork was truly incredible. both the spicy nachos and classic dog had a generous helping and they really shined. especially the dog.
the barbecue sauce they have on the side is also 10/10.
The coleslaw is great but the potato salad is meh.
The food was very good and the drinks menu is very exhaustive so you'll have no issue finding something you like! The chips were good but could've done with a bit of salt. Also I have to say the style and theme of this place is really unique, it has a very cool vibe. I enjoyed my burger but would probably try a sandwich if I return
Great service, food and atmosphere! The ribs, wings, skinny fries, corn on the cob, all really delicious! My son had the pancakes, and they looked amazing! Servers were quick and friendly, but most importantly, food was spot on! Great place to go for food and a pint!
American themed bar/restaurant.
Service was very quick.
Come in to this place particularly to have pancakes for breakfast. Food was delicious, fresh, nicely presented. Chef prepared eggs as per my request and liking.
Would come back here to have some more food but to try it out their meats. 🙂
Had a mostly great experience! Guy who sat us was very nice. I liked the light system to call for a Waiter. The food was mostly delicious. I got half ra k of ribs which were amazing but the potato salad that came with it was completely tasteless. My husband ordered a burger and said it was good but did taste burnt but the fries were amazing. At the end we asked for more water to which the Waiter (different from the guy who sat us) came and grabbed our empty bottle after awhile of seeing him served several other tables we asked him again for water and also the check,to-go box, and napkins. He brought the check, to-go box,, and napkins but still no water. Overall was a good experience just missed the mark on those few things.
Lovely lunch here the other day! The staff working were really lovely and friendly and had good recommendations
The food was so delicious I had a blue cheese burger and my partner ordered a hot dog both well well prepared and presented and absolutely delicious
There is a great range of drinks on offer with reasonable prices, if we come back we'll have to try the darts outt!
All the staff are fantastic! Quick and engaging. Brilliant atmosphere and they will never let you run out of drinks for too long. Food is lovely, no complaints from us. Would like an option to tip when paying by card. Will definitely visit again when we’re in Cambridge! Thanks so much l.
Loved the chilli nachos, we ask for the sharing plat for 2. chicken wings and sauces were great, the ribs and pork pieces were dried but tasty, the wasn’t any brisket although we were told there was for the sharing plate for 2. The milkshake was delicious. In overall the flavours were good and really enjoyed it
The service was amazing, really makes comftorable eating there and wanting to come back again. The food was great as well! Really is the best bbq in cambridge. I can't find ribs like these ones anywhere else! And the atmosphere really fits the food, rock and roll hell yeah!
really good food, fresh and well put together... service was meh, but I think that's just a cultural thing.
Great food, great beer, great atmosphere. Would highly recommend and the staff are so helpful.
