    Food was great, excellent that $3 tacos are back. The Taco shells were a bit dry and chewy and I'm really sad that you have now introduced the fee for sauces. Even if you could just include 1 sauce with the meat trays at least as well as the sides that would be great! But overall fabulous as usual.

    Food was amazing - service was good with the exception the person managing the bookings / tables - there was an issue around a change made to our booking, it was not handled well at all at the time. While it was worked out it definitely took away from the experience and the exception food and good service. Highly recommend the delicious food - everything we had was SO good. Nice options for the beers and taste pallets

    Up in Smoke have transitioned to contactless ordering which was handy, and the food and drinks were, as always, delicious. Great dinner out.

    Ordering has changed, very efficient once we got used to it😊 Meat was a little dry this time, the brisket. Ribs could have been cooked a bit longer
