About Smokey Trotters Kitchen
Smokey Trotters Kitchen is a Buckfast-themed hamburger restaurant at 233 London Rd in Glasgow, with Buckfast bottles, street art and colourful decor on the walls.

Other plates include macaroni cheese, Scheme poutine and the Lower East Side toastie, and the menu carries vegetarian and vegan options.

Customer Review Summary
Burgers anchor the praise, led by the Chicken Dippin, dunked in curry sauce with crispy onion, and a black pudding burger one diner can't recommend enough. Close behind are the Macaroni Cheese, called super cheesy, the buckfast bbq wings, a Lower East Side toastie, scheme poutine, and Baja Style Tacos with fish in fried batter and hot mayo. Reviewers describe food cooked fresh to order, a wide menu with vegetarian and vegan options, and staff who are friendly in review after review. Several enjoy the colourful, unique decor, including the buckfast bottles. The complaints are specific. One diner found some dishes too salty and the seating compact. The same reviewer didn't realise the place is BYOB with a charge for bringing drinks, so they couldn't buy a beer with the meal. Another notes a wait when it's busy. One first-time group ordered so much that they left with three takeaway tubs.

Wonderful variety on the menu. Great value. Great staff who are friendly and helpful. Outdoor seated are and indoor. Dog friendly. There can be a wait if they busy but worth it.
