Old Kent Smoke Shack in Thanet

Excellent service, welcoming, attentive and friendly. Brisket Mac and cheese was excellent because they paid attention to the Mac and kept it saucy. The brisket was soo tender and delicious. Chicken wings were cooked to perfection and were crispy and succulent. Pulled pork was MOIST and well flavoured. The underrated bit are the pickles on the side which are particularly well executed. The only thing stopping this being a 5 is the dressing on the little salad and the spring greens. On the little salad I think a mustard dressing is the right way to go, but given its so small don't do wholegrain and do french mustard so the dressing is thinner and coats the leaves. On the greens don't use the spice mix dusting because it is already on your meat so go in a different direction to give another flavour to the meal. Beer was delicious too! Would recommend overall!

Unreal experience here! Such good food in great portion sizes. An accommodating waiter who was also the chef for the evening. Could not have asked for anything better. A genuine 10/10 place to go.

Fantastic 10/10. Tender juicy and delicious! We’ll priced and fantastic staff that know the product! Will be back! Absolutely worth every penny! Book a table now!

This place is simply amazing. It’s unashamedly all about meat and smoked meat at that. I eat a lot of meat daily and smoke my own and I can honestly say this chap knows what he’s doing. I was impressed with the fact that the whole focus is on the quality of the food. No chips or coleslaw (they served Tater Tots and sweet potato chips). The wine options are limited and they have craft beers on offer. I never take leftovers home but these were simply too good to leave. This is certainly going to be a regular for me.

It was Chicken and Ribs night so that was the only main course available but it was excellent.Unless you eat like a horse you won't need a starter. My wife had a go bag for her uneaten chicken.The price even included a beer and the service was very friendly

Writing this as my partner and i relax at home after a great night at Street Kings, Wow! What a GEM!I do not write reviews, ever. But tonight, a review is needed.I must admit when we arrived my table wasn’t quite ready and my partner looked at me with the “here we go eyes”…with hindsight, of course the table wasn’t ready….who on earth wants to leave heaven!If you’re looking for great BBQ then you honestly don’t need to look anywhere else. Food is delicious and seasoned well! portion sizes are great, atmosphere is just good vibes! The owners (Husband and Wife) were so friendly, welcoming and genuinely cared about our experience.One of our many random and spontaneous restaurant visits has finally paid huge dividends! Already looking forward to our next visit.Thank you Street Kings!

Thought we’d try this restaurant out as friends had recommended it. We received a warm welcome from the minute we walked in and the service was spot on! Our waiter Oliver was helpful and professional and the food was amazing! We have never had chicken and ribs that tasted so good! Be prepared for big portions so make sure you don’t eat for at least a week before going! We look forward to returning very soon!

Amazing BBQ, literally all the meat was tasty and melted in the mouth like butter. The sauces were delicious and even the selection of beers were well thought out and really good. Tater tots and the most amazing Mac n cheese. We found it totally by surprise, now just need to convince them to open in Oxford! The server Jordon was attentive and helpful.

The food here was amazing we got chicken wings to start and the other starter with pickled red onion and baby carrots, can't remember it's name 🤦‍♀️the bread was nothing like we've has because it was like dough but it was really good. My partner said it was like eating a cloud haha. We shared the King, which came with a bit of everything. Taste was amazing. We loved the sauce on the wings. My partner tried the whitstable larger, said it was nice. Wasn't sure on the after taste but what does he know from drinking Stella 😜 definitely recommend!! We will be returning 😊

We love Street Kings! Quality, mouthwatering smoked meats (the brisket is our fave) and delicious sides (mac n cheese is a winner with the whole family, especially the kids). Love the soul soundtrack when we visited which added to the whole experience. Even better than the BBQ we had in the States. Highly recommend.
