Prohibition Smokehouse

Epic food, great service. As expected!

What a phenomenal night! We were blown away with the team at Prohibition Smokehouse.
We were warmly welcomed by the hosts as they settled us in, so impressed with their manners and attentiveness not just initially but throughout the night. We felt so comfortable and intrigued among the decor as every detail captivated us.
The food was prompt to the table and was melt in your mouth delicious. I can not begin to explain how amazing all the food was, ever bite was a delight as we indulged in an assortment of plates. From the crispy and tender butter milk chicken wings to tender brisket and shortribs. We were won over with the delicate and divine desserts. All must haves.
We will return for many more marvellous nights here.

Another perfect dining experience at Prohibition Smokehouse. Stunning food and awesome service.

Great experience! We were lucky enough to get a table here for our anniversary. The highlight was the pork belly, both myself and my partner agreed it was the best we have ever had! Loved the sharing platter idea and our server was outstanding. Made sure we knew how everything worked and was very attentive.

We had a great time. Ordered the crumbed cheese stuffed chillies for entree and then the flank steak and brisket, both of them melting in your mouth by the ways they were cooked. Highly recommended!

Amazing food!

My husband and I arrived right on time for our First Table at Prohibition Smoke House. We were greeted with ‘hello Martha welcome’ and led to our intimate table. My request to have the music turned down (my husband has a little hearing loss) was graciously accommodated by our professional and knowledgeable wait person. She answered all our menu questions and was attentive to refilling our water glasses and asking if we needed anything throughout the evening. Our food was exceptional!! To start we had the crab cakes. The delicate breading with the perfect hot spice made them melt in the mouth perfection! I had the chicken and loved every bite! My husband had the flank steak and commented on the texture and taste as excellent. Our sides of root vegetables and maple pear salad would be perfect as a meal themselves!! We topped dinner off with pecan pie and it tasted just like pecan pie from home (Michigan). Very very enjoyable evening and meal. We will be back

good service, good food and a busy place at a time where other places in Dunedin are very quiet

Cosy on cold night, great food,enjoyable meal.

Had a nice time, a couple of the dishes where outstanding, a couple were give or take - service was fine until it got very busy, also we ended up sitting in a very drafty spot by the air cond - prices are up there and sides for small for the price! , so lucky we had first table "half price bonus" thanks.

Had a great night out and will certainly return. The Flank steak was fantastic!

Great experience, will return!

My husband and I had awesome dinner few days ago. We had couple of starters, pork belly and 40 days aged steak. They were nice but especially the steak was just delicious. It was more than enough for two of us, no room for dessert. Few other things we would love to try on the menu. Well next time we are in town.

One of the best dining experiences Dunedin has to offer. Great service, great food and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

I cannot praise the Prohibition Smokehouse enough! We dined as a group of 4, ordering 2 large plates, 2 small plates and 4 sides which was ample food for all of us. The quality of the food was outstanding, highlights being the crispy chicken wings, short ribs that melted in the mouth and macaroni cheese that was the stuff of dreams. There was a little difficulty fitting all the food on the table but our exceptionally skillful waiter was able to condense our sides so we had enough room to eat comfortably. It is not hard to see why first table bookings for this restaurant are in such high demand - my only gripe is that we did not leave ourselves enough room for dessert.

Excellent service, food was yum, fantastic night, recommended to all.

Great food and atmosphere!

Fantastic night, excellent food great service. Will certainly be back again

Amazing food and service!! Had the most amazing time!

Another great meal & awesome service! Having the kids there was no problem with shared plates

Fantastic dining experience. Food fabulous and Morgan our server was great - knowledgeable bout the food and a general great conversation. Highly recommended. Only wish there was one in Wellington !

Very good! Staff were so nice and food so good especially roast chicken. Highly recommend!

Great food, friendly staff, relaxing ambiance. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Once again we had a fabulous meal!! The pork belly is to die for!! The portion sizes are huge so we couldn't manage desert, shame on us.. The service and food are a credit to you!! Thank you for a really enjoyable evening out

My husband and I booked with First Table for my Birthday dinner. The service was great and the food even better. We had the buttermilk chicken wings and brisket sliders for an entree. (I would definitely reccomend the sliders) and for our main I had the pork belly and my husband had the beef short rib. Both meals were really delicious and we left full and happy. Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. What more could you want

Wonderful food, drinks and service in a funky setting. We shared the mussel chowder as a starter, generous serving of very tasty chowder and lovely wedges of beautiful bread. We then shared the short rib with potato mash and macaroni cheese sides. Generous servings so we were beaten by the food and will only order one side next time. Lovely friendly staff and the open kitchen was great to watch. Will be back.

Food is amazing!! Can't fault anything. Best meat in town! Service is great and the ambience is very elegant and welcoming :)

Great location and love the decor. Food portions were large so the idea is to share, which we did. Delicious short ribs and pork belly. Can also highly recommend the pecan pie dessert and cheesecake. All in all a fantastic dining experience - loved watching the cocktail making and the chefs are on show too.

Great tasting food, lovely service and an awesome atmosphere. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, great deal on first table. One of the best restaurants in Dunedin. Great dining experience, worth it for the meat lovers, great portion sizes.

Great service and food!

Tasty cuisine, friendly service. Highly recommend.

It was a lovely dining experience.

Excellent service and the food was amazing! Our favourites were the pork belly and the ribs, beautifully cooked.

Delicious food, great service

Really nice food, great atmosphere/decor and service was good too. Would recommend :)

Prohibition Smokehouse is definitely unique in its own class. Food is quite different, interior design of the restaurant is different. It stands out among others. In a small town like Dunedin, it is quite surprising to find something different. If you are looking for different things for food and dining experience, this one is it.

Love the new place, very cosy and relaxed atmosphere.
Staff are brilliant, best service I've had in Dunedin.
Food is exceptional quality and tasty.

We went to Prohibition Smokehouse for a date night last night and it exceeded all of our expectations. The service was exceptional. She knew the menu really well and she was so helpful. The food was delicious!! This is one of our top restaurants. The new venue is very nice as well. We will be telling all our friends to visit this awesome place! Thank you for being on first table. Such a bargain!!!!

Never been here before, so good to see the new location. The food is a bit on the pricey side, but the pork belly in particular was excellent.

Good food, good location. Best cheesecake ever.

Great service, and the beef was amazing! highly recommended.

Dining here was such a good time. The food was delicious with plenty of options. Stunning new interior. The waitresses who served us were warm and friendly, and the bartender was especially skilled at whipping us up a few cocktails. Have already recommended to friends and I can’t wait to dine here again. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Had a wonderful dinner there. Love the food. We didn't get a chance to try desserts though. It was Friday night, so by that time we were neglected by the waitresses. Can't really blame them as there were only two waitresses (they should have put more people on a Friday night).

The food was delicious and I enjoyed it very much. The service was just as good, and very welcoming. I wish the table was a little bigger though. Otherwise a great experience!

Our first time at the relocated Prohibition Smoke House and what a fantastic experience. The service was excellent: the people courteous, genuinely happy and couldn't do enough for you - right from the reception person through to the chef. I am known to be critical but there was nothing we could fault with the food. The entree superb, the main just melted in your mouth and the dessert sublime. Will definitely be going back again.

Such pleasant staff and so friendly. The girls serving were so nice. The food was superb.

Can't fault the food or sevice....be warned having a starter, main and dessert will leave you very full! The salmon starter was devine, the brisket a winner and the lemon posset amazing! If you're after a quiet night avoid the weekend, as it get's loud and noisy early and table layout is very cramped. Thanks for a lovely meal x
