Tiktok-famous ‘Food Review Club’ have given their say on where they hail the best BBQ food in the UK – and it’s quite close to home!
As part of a video series the Food Review Club are currently completing, BBQ food was next on their rating list with a popular Portadown eatery pinned against restaurants in Cheltenham and Ramsgate.
Holy Smokes BBQ Shack have been given the crown by the famous review club and placed as their official top BBQ restaurant.
The Food Review Club, who proclaim to be ‘The UK’s Number One Food Reviewer’, have over two million followers across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
They first visited the Portadown hotspot back in October 2023 with Matt, founder of the review club, rating the food as ‘faultless’ and even going as far as to say it could be the ‘number one BBQ shack in Europe’.
And almost two years on, the mouth-watering meats are clearly still on the reviewer’s mind as they win the top spot!
The video shows clips of his previous visits to the top three BBQ places and a brief summary of why he loved each one.
And speaking of Holy Smokes, Matt said: “South of Belfast in Northern Ireland, this place was on another level.
“I absolutely loved it, tear jerking, emotional food that you’ve got to try at some stage in your life.”
Delighted to be recognised as the top spot, on a Facebook post Holy Smokes said: “We’ve been rated #1! Absolutely buzzing to be named the Top Spot by the @FoodReviewClub.
“Massive love to everyone who’s supported us, shared the word, and kept coming back for more. We do it for the flavour, and you lot make it all worth it. Come see why we’re number 1 — you won’t leave hungry.”
