On our recent stay in Launceston we chose to eat at Smokey Joes . There were so many choices of cafe / restaurants in Launceston but we wanted to experience something different, so when we read Smokey Joes Cafe was Creole cooking that made our minds up and it was the best decision we ever made!

I dined here on a Saturday evening with my Mum and Sister for my birthday. Mum has been many times, and my sister has been before, also. They rave about it, and I have always wanted to go. The rave reviews were spot on. We started with some drinks, the Mexican Tecata beer, and a couple of tequila sunrises. Very... More

I have and constantly do hear people rave about this place, so after feeling lackluster the first time I went back again within the month.

Were looking for a restaurant and stumbled on this on Trip Advisor - what a find!!! My husband finally got to try Gumbo - it was a delicious, as of course I sneaked a taste.

The meal was delicious, well presented and great atmosphere. Loved it, will be back definitely. The outdoor dining area was lovely as the night was humid. The lush trees enveloping the area made the area private and inviting. It was just beautiful.

Seriously-- a Southern American restaurant in Launceston? Could they do the great Creole meal justice? In one word "YES YES YES"! Fabulous service, terrific food (we have the beef brisket and the gumbo for mains, the fire fries for entree and managed to fit in half a blueberry cobbler in for dessert). All the food was perfectly cooked (gumbo was... More
