"Have eaten at this institution a few times. As an American studying abroad, it is comforting to be able to grab some really solid American BBQ even here in Cambridge. The works platter is a great way to get a bunch of options to share. The sandwiches and hot dogs are also quite tasty. For me the chicken wings were the absolute star of the show. They're crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and well-seasoned; the selection of great sauces to pair them with also helps. Some nearby institutions that have absolutely garbage wings (cough cough Honest Burger) could learn a thing or two from Smokeworks. I'm also a fan of the slaw and milkshakes here. There's really so many awesome options here which make it a great place to keep going back to. Also a fan of the technology they have going to get the waiters' attention. The service was friendly everytime I've gone. This is no doubt one of my favorite restaurants in all of Cambridge!"

"Slingers is basically the same as the flight clubs that have been around for a few years. You pay to play for an hour on the darts and you can buy drinks and food. The food offering was slightly worse than last time we were here a year or so ago. Its mainly burgers and a few bits. Used to have great sides and sharing plates but these have sadly gone. The beer is also a bit of an acquired taste with no brands you'd probably know. It wasn't terrible but also not the best. The darts is fun but big warning if you are a group over 6 book separately. They will always try and put your whole group on one board. We ended up with 12 on one board paying the same per head as those next to us with only 4 players. As a result you only got a few throws each and felt expensive for the little time you had each. Overall a fun thing to do but probably won't come back very often as it's massively expensive for what it is."
