SmokePapa BBQ in Penang

"4.5 stars to be exact. The meat there is awesome and the sides are really awesome. Staff is friendly and helpful. I’ll let the photos do the explaining. Meats were juicy and tender. Smoked to almost perfection. A little overdone if you asked me. But still good never the less. Worth going if you’re craving meats."

"Super yummy bbq meets. Very tender, slow grilled and yummy flavours. We came for the special lunch bowls to have a try. Good portions, super value for the money, friendly service and I topped up with a fantastic home made sugar free chocolate mousse, that was to die for. Fantastic, highly recommended. When we come back to Penang we will get back here first thing."

"First time here and it's unique but taste wise it's ok. Spent RN200++ for 3 pax. Parking is a problem. We spent RM12 on parking at a parking compound for one hour and a few minutes. Is it worth it? It could be for some but I don't feel it is. Give it a try yourself. Maybe you'll like it maybe you won't. The taste is definitely different than other Western foods. I personally give it 3 stars after trying it out. That's just me Better book though. I did. I came I ate I left"

"Tried the Babi Moo and Mushroom Soup. The Angus beef brisket was cooked until very soft and tender. Pork ribs were not bad too, flavorful and enjoyable. However, the drinks were served very late, only arriving when we had almost finished our meal, which affected the dining experience. The place is always full house during holidays, so it’s better to make a reservation in advance."

"late Jan 2026 Came across on search on map and the good reviews gave a push for it. As noted, and was not disappointed, we all enjoyed a lot. Sorry about being a noisy group. The pink guava kombucha (own made) was delicious. Thanks for the recommendation. The BBQ meat lamb, pork ribs and beef were all soft and tasty. The sides (mashed potatoes, casserole and mini pasta) were delicious too. Freshly served French fries was delicious also. Thank you for your hospitality. Will visit again. Were told that for CNY they'll be opened but will close for renovation after the CNY celebration..... Do check dates before going. Parking can be hard to find .... A few private paid parking nearby."

"Came here for dinner and loved it. The food was overall delicious, especially the BBQ pork ribs—tender, juicy, and flavorful. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Definitely recommend checking this place out."

"One of the Best BBQ/Smokehouse Meals I’ve Had I had an amazing experience here. The food was honestly so good, and everything on the table tasted like it was made with real care. I ordered smoked beef, ribs, coleslaw, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, fries, and a garlic loaf — and every single thing was delicious. The meats were the highlight. The smoked beef was tender and flavourful, and the ribs were perfectly cooked, soft, and coated with a tasty glaze. The sides were just as impressive. The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy, the mac & cheese was creamy, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and easily some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The fries were crispy, and the garlic loaf was warm, soft, and so fragrant that it could honestly be a dish on its own. Overall, the whole meal was satisfying, well-balanced, and worth every bite. Just one question: Are all the sauces made from scratch?"

"Ordered the 200g smoked lamb rib, jalapeno cheddar sausage, coleslaw and Mac n cheese. The lamb rib was tender and fell off the bone, so much so that I didn’t have to use my knife to cut it. Overall the dinner was just enough for two people, which was great for us. All the sauces were flavourful as well. The coleslaw was a bit more on the sweet side and I hope they can rectify that. But overall a great meal."
