Fantastic experience if you love meat and love ro eat a lot of it! Went here in a group of four, and ordered the smoke family platter. It arrived pretty soon, with coleslaw and chips. It had everything! Beef ribs, lamb ribs, briskets, sausages and chicken wings. Everything was great and comfortably enough for 5 or 6 people. Staff were polite and they prepared the food very quickly. I absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves barbeque and meat.

This is a really nice place to eat out. The place is a small place so if you come at a busy time and want to eat you will have to wait. The food is really nice, really enjoyed the garlic wings. The staff at this establishment were nice and friendly. The food got served really quickly.

This place is always busy which is a good indication of the quality of the food. The meat is perfectly BBQued. Meat was tender and full of flavour. Ended up returning a week later food was that good and I live over an hour away on the motorway

Food here is excellent. Good range of BBQ food, very well seasoned, cooked well overnight, moist and tender. I have had platters here. My favourite food to order here is the Beef short rib which is really really good. Reasonable pricing. Either eating in a small seating area inside or on the pavement by the kitchen. Staff will clean after every customer, food is excellent but I have listed atmosphere as 3 star due to the location. Parking is problematic. There is none, I can find parking down the end of residential roads.

Everything about this place is amazing by London standards! Please remember you're not in Texas. But the quality of the meats were brilliant, best smoke house in London by far! Very small seating area maybe 15 people tops so please be prepared to wait if there is a group! But I will certainly visit again!

I’d heard great things about Just Meat Smoke & BBQ, so we decided to give it a try—and it definitely didn’t disappoint! From the moment we walked up to the shack, the incredible smoky aroma set the tone. The staff were welcoming and genuinely seemed happy to be serving us. We went for brisket burgers all around, with chips and mac & cheese bites on the side. The burger was absolutely delicious—perfectly smoked, tender, and exactly what you’d hope for. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu!
