Absolutely the best chicken you will ever eat! I've eaten chicken all over the world and this is by far the best I've ever eaten. I wish God gave me an extra thumb so o could give this place THREE thumbs up!� ��
I luv going to Jamaica, I luv the people but mostly, I luv the food. And this place serves the best Caribbean food I've tasted back home!
Took my 16 year old son here last week after a recommendation from a friend and I am so glad ! The food was amazing, friendly staff and top class ! We will be visiting lots more in the future. PS the rice and peas are to die for !!!!
I've eaten a lot of jerk chicken and bow chicken in the Caribbean and the southern US, this meal was the best I've had in the middle of England.
Hour round trip..... double burger, chips, rice and wings! Worth the time and will be back, best chicken outside of London! Nandos who??
Friendly staff. Great food. Great prices. And the sweet BBQ sauce is so delicious that you'll keep dipping your finger into the sauce.
Would recommend it, great food friendly staff, definitely be back �
Food was delicious, staff very friendly, good atmosphere. Definitely recommend it
First ever visit to Canterbury and tried this place based on TripAdvisor reviews. So glad we did as the food was fantastic! Chicken was so tasty, chips were perfectly cooked and corn on the cob had a great BBQ taste. Such nice service too.
Absolutely fantastic food, the sauce is to die for with an amazing friendly service and staff
We went last year. The food was brilliant. Any of my friends who go to Canterbury, I always recommend Smokey's. I have never had anyone tell me they were dissapointed!
The best grilled chicken in the country is served at Saint Smokeys, along with amazing bbq sauce and the yummiest Caribbean rice I've ever had! Well done to the Saint Smokeys team, keep it up!
this was our second visit and it certainly didn't disappoint- the chicken was succulent and the sauce made our tastebuds tingle
Some of the best chicken I've ever had. I love me some wings and this place does them properly! The chips are excellent and the hot sauce is Next Level. I can't remember the last time I felt as full and happy as I did at lunch time today.
I'm so psyched that there's a chicken specialist in town.
I went for a half chicken and it was lovely. Jubbly went with heart wasn’t that spicy for me so I had to add the extra hot sauce or pepper sauce
In Canterbury and needed a convenient place to eat, not far from the car, time was against us🤣. We'll we know Canterbury We'll but this was a new place to hit, and glad we did. Recommended by our nephew as a cracking place to eat. So all three of us grab a chicken burger, chicken salad and chicken & rice. Not disappointed at all. However when we eat there again I would either have the rice or salad next time. Just feel for me a better choice. All cooked to order, funky place for us olds and great staff.
2 consecutive dinners from St.Smokeys and safe to say, they smoked it. First night I ordered a chicken curry and rice. The rice was soft and the chicken curry was flavorful without overdoing any notes. The next night I ordered a spicy grilled chicken. The spices bot the hot and sweet merged into an extraordinary tango delivering an amazing experience for my taste buds. The best part is that the staff there are really cool and go out of their way to ensure you are getting what you want. I rate this 2 thumbs up.
The food is so tasty, there’s a great lunchtime deal and the staff are friendly. The seating isn’t great and it takes a while for the food to be cooked, but the quality and taste of the food more than makes up for this l. All three sauces are amazing.. Call ahead if you’re in a hurry though.
I ordered a whole chicken with rice and peas with sweet BBQ source to share (the waiter do bring up two sets of cutleries even I did not mentioned it is meant to be shared when ordering, good observation from the restaurant). The food is good and we like the rice and peas. A very pleasant service and we can see they have a lot of customers that proofs we made the right choice to pick good food. We do recommend!
Great place, food was amazing. Sweet BBQ sauce is fab.
The only negative I can mention is that the chicken curry had bones in it as I swallowed one.
Staff were amazing an very clean.
Would recommend 👌
This place is unbelievable. It is the best chicken I have tasted in my life. I regularly drive 1hr 15 from Essex to Canterbury (roughly 50 odd miles) and £35 petrol just to get it. Run by legends as well.
I am a long time customer, cannot even count how many times I have eaten here over the years, and the food is consistently excellent each and every time! I have never had a bad meal here and part of the reason we keep coming back is that we know we can always expect fantastic food and great service. The staff are always so polite and happy, the owner is particularly lovely! The place is always clean and I love that they use cardboard/recyclable containers/cutlery. I am also gluten free so I generally stick to the same order (breast fillet with rice and salad) and have never had an issue with it. Needless to say I would recommend to anyone!
Probably the best chicken I’ve had in my life! That sauce was just brilliant, the staff was really practical once its a really small place and they have people eating in and also do take away. The prices vary between 5-12 pounds and the portions are enough to fill in a really hungry person! They’ll also let you choose between rice/chips and salad/corn as sides for your chicken and let me tell you that the corn was the best I’ve had in a long time, beats nandos in a blink.
Loved it.. friendly staff ...great atmosphere.. amazing food, great choice and great price
Travelled from Norfolk to try the BBQ food, and it did not disappoint. Amazing BBQ Chicken with great freshly made sauces. The rice & peas took me straight back to Jamaica. This is a must stop when near Canterbury
Stopped in here as the lunchtime special caught our eye, the food is so delicious and you get plenty along with a drink, even a choice of BBQ sauces that the chicken is cooked in. We'll definitely be going back to order off the main menu next time. The staff are super friendly too and the atmosphere really relaxed. Give it a try if you enjoy fresh, proper food served with love. (There's also a loo here and outside seating, allow about 15-20 to have your food served, as its all fresh)
What a place this is.. purely stumbled across it while just walking around Canterbury.. what a result.. lovely food.. great service.. will definitely recommend and will be visiting again... Great job guys and girls...
Ordered smokey bbq chicken and rice & peas. Chicken was lacking flavour for Caribbean. Normally my taste buds are singing. Chicken very bland was very surprising actually. It taste okay ish it wasn't bad but certainly wasn't popping with flavour. Visited 31st May. The rice & peas was decent had nice taste. The smokey bbq sauce I didn't really rate it. Reminded me of Chinese sweet and sour sauce. Overall probably wouldn't be back in a hurry.
It's not terrible or bad or anything but the Chicken was a real let down!
Took nearly half hour to come our the door aswel..
Was recommended here by a friend. What a great find. Such amazing flavours!! The only thing I would say is that the seating (outdoor only) is limited otherwise its takeaway eating.
My second time at Saint, I can't say enough how good this chicken is. It reminds me of chicken bbqed in half a drum back home in Trinidad. Staff were lovely as well. Also they serve food in recyclable packaging.
I've eaten in hundreds of restaurants in dozens of countries, including many with Michelin stars. So when I say the food in here is incredible, it's on that basis. By far the best chicken & rice and peas I've ever tasted.
I love this place , the food is amazing ,I love my wings and this place got the best about , there sauce is so good I brought a bottle to take home , service was 10/10 and all round good vibes
