Smokeworks

Amazing local small business that deserves your time to visit, great staff amazing food and some locally brewed beers

Good food and atmosphere. Beers could easily be better

I have a specific complaint about the toilets which ruined my whole experience. When entering the toilets, the gender distinguished entrances were not made obvious. When going in to the women’s, I opened the already open door, and found a man going for a wee with his pants pulled down. Without stating the obvious, I think it’s pretty appalling that women cannot have a safe space separate from drunken men to go to the loo in peace. I also felt incredibly uncomfortable and awkward after this and it ruined the rest of ,y dining experience. I cannot say I would recommend this place to families, as allowing your children to go to the toilet alone would be an unsafe option. I still feel uncomfortable.

Really nice and cozy place! The food was tasty and the service very friendly and fast!

Went out for lunch, the nice girl working at the bar, let us taste the beer and was very kind overall. I had the chicken burger, which was amazing, and the mac and cheese on the side, I would recommend this place

I had a great experience on my first visit to Cambridge. Smokeworks on Free school lane was definitely a highlight and I really really enjoyed my St Louis belly rib. Lots of intense flavours, soft tender meat and the slaw was the perfect accompaniment due to its crunch and freshness. Our sides were the Mac ‘n cheese and the Cajun spiced onion rings, both were probably the best I’ve ever had. My partner ordered the baby back ribs but this was the only item which unfortunately wasn’t on par with everything else. The ribs were tender but didn’t have much flavour. I also got the apple crumble handshake which was so good I had to grab one to go. You’re missing a trick by not offering a strawberry cheesecake version! Staff were brilliant from start to finish and if you’re reading this then know that I appreciate you. Wheelchair accessibility: Staff had a ramp that allowed a gentleman in a wheelchair to access and egress the restaurant.

Amazing food, tasty ribs very well cooked Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended
