“ We checked this place out for the 1st time in a long time last Friday 01st Nov 24. And I'm so glad we did. Every dish we had was delicious and captured the true smoky flavours of proper American BBQ. We had the brisket (really tender and smoke fused) half rack of ribs (fall off the bone tender, just how I like them) honey and seasme chicken wings (lovely) fully loaded fries with pulled pork (awesome) and corn ribs (utterly delicious). I really like the vibe and music that was playing and service was quick without being overly fussy. Drinks selections was good too, although I just stuck with Beavertown Neck Oil the wife had a cocktail. I'm not sure if there was a dessert menu but we were all too full to ask. Suggestion if you are eating wings - provide a water clean up bowl perhaps, they are very sticky! Will definitely be coming back soon. Thanks again! ”

“ I have dined here a few times and have always enjoyed it. Booking may be advisable at busier times. I do like the burnt ends here are excellent and surprisingly as a meat lover I am going to give a shout out to the Corn ribs. I liked these so much that I have tried to replicate these at home. The pit beans were also excellent!! Attentive staff, good atmosphere, Nuckey done restaurant which encompasses the kitchen. Never had a problem parking. Prices are ok for BBQ food. I often try some kind of combos. ”

“ Very busy but didn’t stop the lady’s giving a service with a smile, they were so lovely and kind. The place had a great vibe and the food was just spot on, if you like Berle meat then I would check this place out. My recommendations would be the food boards and the milkshakes. The toilet reminded me of Yellowstone, had a cowboy vibe. ”

“ We had such an amazing time and great service, the foooooooood is sooooo gooood and the portions are great . Decent price as well... We would definitely be visiting again.. ”

“ Went here for my partner's birthday. Amazing food. We all had a main each and shared 4 sides. All of it was gorgeous. Couldn't fault it. The clucking lot was especially nice. ”

“ Had to drive round the block a couple of times before luckily finding parking in the high street, no idea what youre supposed to do if eating somewhere before 6.30pm as everywhere seems 1 hour permits, disabled or loading bays. Restaurant felt warm and inviting, about 80% capacity on a Sat night but couldn't see any food yet. 4 of us had the higher seating booked which could have comfortably fit another 2 more so we had enough elbow room. Cocktails from the swanky looking bar were on point, drank those Dark Smokey's all night. Ordered the 65 platter to share with a mate and requested brisket slices from the point (the fatty part) as sometimes slices from the flat part in BBQ places can be a bit dry. The owners daughter came up and advised that part is used for burnt ends (which are also part of the platter) and asked if I wanted more of those, but assured me that the brisket slices are juicy enough so convinced me to order as-is. And she wasn't wrong, food took about 45mins but well worth the wait. To my surprise we got a couple thick slices from the point anyway. Had a nice smoke ring and they were tender, juicy, just about held together on a fork and melted in your mouth! Right up there between Franklins and Terry Black's! IYKYK. The Burnt ends were ridiculous, tacky BBQ glossy, glazed, mahogany exterior that you could crush with your tongue against the roof of you mouth. The sausage was delicious too and had a nice snap to the bite, although following the previous 2 meats, needed to dunk in 1 of the 3 sauces provided for an extra flavour kick. Would have been nice to see a jalapeno cheddar option like they have all over Texas but I'm splitting hairs here. Pulled pork was as you'd expect, a little over shredded if I really had to pick holes in it but nicely presented in its own cast iron skillet with that BBQ sauce drizzled on top. Pickles and red cabbage cut through the richness and even the veggies cooked on the coals were bang on. St Louis Ribs had a great depth of flavour, clean bite off the bone and a moreish smokey aftertaste. Seasoned Fries perfectly crispy and overall a great experience. Best BBQ in Hertfordshire so far. ”

“ First time visiting Smokeshed, but very impressed. The food was amazing and the serving staff were great, polite and attentive. We will definitely be coming back for another meat fest ”

“ The atmosphere of the restaurant was so fun and the music was amazing. The staff were also very welcoming and polite and the food was really amazing especially for the price. Would definitely recommend coming here. ”
