About Smoke & Dough

Smoke & Dough is a barbecue restaurant on Paradise Street in Liverpool, in the Liverpool ONE terrace near John Lewis, with grills built into the tables. Meals start with focaccia and hummus before servers bring out grilled meats and skewers, and the grill can be upgraded to an unlimited option where staff keep bringing more food without being asked. Cocktails such as a passion fruit martini or blue lagoon accompany the meal, and sticky toffee pudding rounds it out. Kids eat free with the Bento Box meal, and birthdays are marked with a cake, sparklers, and singing from the staff. A bottomless brunch option runs with continuous drinks for parties, and a private dining room is available for groups. Table service applies throughout, with the option to ask servers for extra portions.

Customer Review Summary

The evening grill draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly citing the unlimited option, generous portions, and staff bringing extra meat without being asked. Birthday celebrations come up again and again, servers arranging sparklers, cakes, and sung surprises for anniversaries and birthdays alike. Close behind, several single out specific dishes: the sticky toffee pudding, the passion fruit martini, and a fresh, soft focaccia starter. The kids-eat-free bento box also gets called out as generously portioned, though one reviewer found the steaks a little fatty and another noted unseasoned beef patties from a takeaway box. One diner, however, describes a markedly different visit, reporting a fishy taste in the cabbage and meat and describing a dismissive staff response when raising it, calling the resolution poor. Most other accounts describe friendly, attentive service and swift food delivery, with several saying they'd return, one adding they hoped another location would open nearer home.

    “We came down from Nottingham with the family and had such a lovely experience. The atmosphere was really chilled and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. We were celebrating my little sister’s birthday, and the team went above and beyond to make it special. They surprised her with a birthday cake, then had her stand up while they sang to her with sparklers - such a lovely touch and a really memorable experience for her. 🎂✨ The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, and the managers were lovely too. A special mention to Mia and Carrie who was absolutely great and helped us with everything we needed. They were so kind and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back again. Thank you for making my sister’s birthday so special! ❤️”

    “I recommend paying a visit to this place, atmosphere really chill and location found in Liverpool one terrace at the very end of the terrace close to John Lewis. Miriam was amazing at explaining anything and giving recommendations aswell. We had Focaccia as our starter and it was a nice fresh and soft meal really nice. Then we had the evening grill offer for £20.99 and it was really good and filling. Really recommend There was not any waiting time all on right time.”

    “Lovely evening Grill mixer, with an option to eat as much as you like for an extra £8. Promotion ‘kids eat free’ Bento Box kids meal was amazing with the portion being extremely generous. Steaks were a little bit fatty. Would return again.”

    “Ordered from too-good-to-go. Basically got an entire box of assorted meat. Beef patties, chicken wings and sausages. Shame the beef patties weren’t seasoned. Wings were good though, coated with Peri peri sauce. Really liked the sausages. Very generous with the portion too.”
