@zahraakxo: 📍@eat_smacks, Cardiff 🍔 @smacks_cardiff I’d been really excited for the opening of Smacks in Cardiff so when I was invited down to give them a go, I had to say yes with how many good things I’d heard about their other branches. Unfortunately it just didn’t live up to the hype for me. The chicken burger was really good, I’d recommend adding cheese though! The tenders and bites were fried way too quick, so the batter was coming off so I didn’t enjoy these. The desserts were delicious but can you go really go wrong with a Mr Whippy? The restaurant was a little messy, with a lot of dirty tables and food on the floor too. The staff were really nice in all honesty and they were insanely busy so you do have to cut them some slack. Overall, it was a decent spot but in my eyes, at the moment, it doesn’t stand out to me in comparison to some of the other spots we have in Cardiff. With a little bit of work, I can see them doing well in their location but I do think the food and cleanliness needs a little work.

being local to Cardiff there are a lot better places to eat. I found Smacks very bland and overpriced.

I went waited 50 mins for the food, they gave my burger to someone else so had to make it again, they left all the other food in the side while they made the new burger. When the burger was done the rest of the food was freezing so had to take that back, opened the burger and it was the wrong burger. I demanded a refunded at that point. Awful service x

Wasn’t impressed with my visit either. The burgers were tiny, service was too slow and some of the customers there seemed unhappy, too. Smacks need to up their game if they want to survive!

All the branding is a copy of the Archie’s brand in Manchester.

I needed this review ! 🙏🏽 It was so quiet when I first walked past it was giving bad vibes. Might give it a go when I’m not in a rush for food, so much fried chicken competition in city centre 👀

it was a complete waste of money and I was shocked 😲 how much I paid for a load of shit soaked in grease 😒 I felt gutted after all the hype about how rated it was i wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is considering going there... on the plus side we went to Grangetown to eat Caribbean food paid the same amount of money and had the best 👌 food we'd ate in a while, Mutton rice and peas with a alcoholic drink each £34 and even took half home and had another meal 😆 🤣
