Smokestak

"Namely, Smokestak does the best Southern-style barbecue in London. Everything about this restaurant is set up to give you the impression that they take their meat REALLY SERIOUSLY." Full review

"A temple to manliness and meat (all concrete walls, steel paneling, and rough-planked tables and banquettes), David Carter’s barbecue joint is a great place for groups to bond over epic plates of ribs." Full review

"The menu, born in the charcoal grill and wood-burning smoker, includes some Smokestak favourites (USDA brisket bun with pickled red chilli, thick cut pork ribs with pickled cucumber)." Full review

"Smokestak is one of the beneficiaries of this change in London’s dining culture, and one of its out-and-out stars. Meat may be everywhere, but few places – indoors or out – do it as well as Smokestak." Full review

"A star of the street-food scene at Dalston and elsewhere. It sells brisket and spare ribs, and pulled pork sandwiches too. But the star turn is beef rib, the most expensive item on the menu" Full review

"A buzzing barbecue restaurant with an open kitchen and an industrial feel. Highlights include the brisket and ribs...the charming staff are happy to guide you." Full review
