I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. I tried their Smoked ribs & brisket, Pulled brisket loaded fries, Chicken tenders, and Smash burger—and every bite was nothing short of phenomenal. The brisket was the standout for me—tender, juicy, and packed with rich smoky flavour, arguably the best I’ve had anywhere. The pulled brisket loaded fries was also impressive, with a deep, melt-in-your-mouth texture that left me wanting more. Their chicken tenders were gently crisp on the outside but incredibly tender inside, and the smash burger was an absolute delight—well-seasoned, juicy, and stacked with flavor. What sets Holy Smokes apart is not just the quality of the food but the passion behind it. The attention to detail in the 10-hour smoking process and the perfect balance of flavours made me hooked. If you're in Birmingham and love BBQ, you can't afford to miss this spot! Thank me later ;)
Fantastic food, very good value for money for the type of food you are eating. The portion sizes are very good as well for the meat. The new location 2-4 doors down from the old location is great. Service was really good. Defo recommend -ribwich -ribs -brisket fries -brisket slices Genuinely well worth going. Plus nice tea and desserts shops right next door or opposite. Only downfall is parking is a headache. So expect a 5 min walk at least. It’s Ladypool road so parking is terrible
Awesome experience, friendly staff, delicious food and nice atmosphere. We were first a bit concerned with regards to review pics where it seemed meat is undone but still wanted to go there. We raised this concern to one of the members of staff (Adnan) and he was so convincing that we couldn’t resist leaving our concerns behind and give it a try. Whilst eating, we said it over and again that we are glad we tried this. Such a delicious, mouth watering experience. The meat was so tender that you don’t even have to chew it. Awesome, no words to describe. We ordered burgers in addition to Short Ribs and Brisket slices because of fear that it might not go well, had we known the taste beforehand we would have ordered Brisket loaded fries instead… Sorry for the pictures, they are after almost gone everything to plates 🤭 it was so yummy that we forgot about taking pics. We went there from Peterborough and it was worth the travel and even more. Definitely recommend
Absolutely top notch smokehouse. The best I have ever been to (and I've been to a few including in US). The meat was all so juicy and melt in your mouth. Specially recommend the ribs, they were to die for. The brisket was amazing too. To my absolute surprise the chicken tenders were so soft and juicy. Only got them as they come with the platter but man was i surprised. Staff were very nice and customer service excellent. If you want authentic texan bbq then holy smokes is defo the spot. One of the rare times when the actual place outdone the hype. Defo worth a visit. 10/10 all round. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
