Let’s turn up the heat! Black Smoke brengt serious BBQ naar het hart van Antwerpen en biedt een bar, een BBQ-restaurant én een rooftop bar waar alles draait om één ding: ambacht. Black Smoke mixt American BBQ traditions met lokale invloeden voor een rock-your-socks-off BBQ-ervaring. Onze pitmasters temmen de vurige vlammen in hun hell’s kitchen waar yankee-style ‘low & slow’ BBQ-gerechten op houtgestookte smokers en ‘hot & fast’ grill classics op de unieke Argentijnse parrilla grill bereid worden. Belgium’s Best Bartenders switchen in de Black Smoke Bar zonder schroom tussen het shaken van award-winning cocktails en het tappen van ultra-locally-crafted beers direct uit de kelders.

Overall though it was too pricey
From the moment you walk in, you’re immersed in a stunning setting with a warm, stylish atmosphere. The smoky aroma that fills the space is incredible — it instantly whets your appetite and sets the tone for what’s to come.
We chose the discovery menu, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. The food is divine, a true celebration of smoked meats and bold, balanced tastes.
The cocktails are equally impressive — creative, flavorful, and crafted with care. The table service was top-notch: attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly.
To top it all off, the prices are very reasonable considering the outstanding quality of the food and the overall experience.
In short: an absolute must-visit in Antwerp for food lovers. We were blown away from start to finish!
Can you imagine, after having a reservation 2 months in advance, hiring a babysitter for our first night out in over a year, and before we had finished our dessert were asked to leave so another couple could have our table… at 9:30pm.
Thanks for the warm beer, but I can’t recommend this business model.
Atmosphere and interior design is great, service is super slow. We ordered the combo that costs 80 euros per person, did it worth it? No. I’d recommend you to directly order meat, I can’t say they’re very good with appetizers. Pastrami was extremely good! Their cocktail selection is very bad, not diverse at all. They can be more creative with all the sauces they have.
The food was mediocre and doesn’t hold up to the American barbecue description.
The atmosphere is pleasant and the music perfectly matched. Seating was okay for my partner, however the wood chair on my end had me shifting uncomfortably after 10 minutes.
Servers were friendly, although not very attentive. We waited several times to be helped with drinks, and I would like to add that they were not that busy.
Once, when trying to get service from the person that had helped us twice before, we got a quick (slightly annoyed) reply that the server was busy and would get someone else to help us. Leaving us confused as to who was actually serving us..
The food. Undoubtedly the biggest dissapointment of the evening. The pulled beef on the starters and mains were very dry. The beef brisket, although soft and tasty, was immensely salty, leaving us wishing our drinks weren’t empty. The Charolais sirloin steak contained a lot of tendons leaving me with the unfortunate situation of having to remove the meat from my mouth, as my teeth had lost the battle.
The sides were delicious, but we had hoped for the barbecue meat to be the star of the show.
The positive highlight of the evening was the spectacular cocktails that were delicious.
It is unlikely we will return to Black Smoke and can therefore not recommend it.
