Really enjoyed my first visit here. Came for breakfast with my Mum. Sat near a window with the sun streaming in. The donuts did not at all disappoint, so good that I had two! (The Dark Chocolate & Boysenberry is DIVINE). Also highly recommend the breakfast brisket tacos! Amazing food, warm and welcoming atmosphere, well organised and managed, and plenty of ethical practices going on e.g. recycling plastic syringes, using local products in the food and making everything fresh on site each day. Thanks for an awesome breakfast. ☕🍩 I can't wait to go back for a 2cnd visit!

This is a hidden gem. This venue has been a cafe for many years, but with this new ownership (owner is the chef) it is amazing. I have been before to enjoy their delicious coffee and donuts, but this visit was for an evening meal and food was to die for, the service friendly and personal. I will definitely be going back at every opportunity.

Full marks! The best burger in town, by a country mile. I really enjoyed it. The service was beautiful, and the banter acceptable. The decor is not the only unusual feature of this place. So if you want something classy and a little different- this is the one.

Love this place! Called in twice on way to and from Golden Bay. Loved the cheeseburger donut and the cheesecake ones. Had 6 and have a pimple to prove it lol

I almost didn’t come here. My husband felt like bbq and it looked like this places specialty was doughnuts. I’m glad we did, the beef brisket alone was worth it. We got the brunch platter and added jalapeño firecrackers. Chicken wings were underwhelming which is sad since I love buffalo wings. They were dry and not much flavour but all the rest was good. Beef brisket is a must.

Tasty bbq, the pork and brisket was tender and juicy. Tried a burger (could have had a thicker piece of chicken) and a doughnut another time too which was good (bit sweet for me).I would say it was pretty bloody pricey and I've eaten at a lot of bbq joints. This is right up there. Certainly wouldn't be able to bring the family here too often

We were recommended this place through an BBQ FB page and it lived up to its reviews. Cosy place with very friendly and helpful staff. Our waitress knew exactly how to talk and interact with our kids and provided great service. Our food was amazing and promptly served. You can tell they care about what they do. Also a delicious range of donuts 🍩 😋 would highly recommend

We kept driving past saying we have to go there for ribs and we finally made it.. We swapped out the corn bread, I got broccoli and dad got the cauliflower. Dad kept stealing my broccoli and wished that he’d got it because it was deliciously charred and cooked to perfection, I nearly liked it more than the ribs.. nearly. The ribs were fall off the bone with a bbq sauce yum! The coleslaw was pretty good too. The place has a cosy atmosphere with the fire going right beside an old truck which you can sit in front of. I also couldn’t take my eyes off the donuts in the cabinet and I managed to get the last salted caramel pretzel one, it was amazing. So glad we finally made it.

I come here every time I'm in the area to see family. Every time, the food is excellent, with generous portions. Yesterday I had the pastrami stack with curly fries, with tuna ceviche. Outstanding.

We showed up at the Smoking Barrel on a very busy night, however we were not disappointed. The service was top notch. Even though we didn’t have a reservation the staff still fit us in a very full restaurant. We ordered the platter so we could try a little bit of everything. The pulled pork was the best I’ve ever had. The ribs, wings, and brisket were fantastic as well. We would definitely go back! Stop reading this and go there for yourself.

Popped in for some donuts but they were all sold out! We'll have to up our game and get there early tomorrow. Honestly they're that good!! The Smoking Barrel is a fantastic spot on Motueka's main street, with a great menu and delicious coffee. It's always a good vibe, and when we're passing through Mot, we make sure we stop in.
