The only bad thing about this place is they are not open for dinner.
It’s great to have this place on main stress Lilydale (Yarra valley) instead of the Fitzroy hipster places up the road

Run by friendly and lovely people, the smokery is a good place for lunch, with much better than average sandwiches and more.

Big drive east and had not eaten.
Smokery offered a satisfying brunch and good coffee.
Eating outside on a lovely morning. Attentive, friendly service.
Enjoyed the naughty brisket burger. Chips a bit whirly weird
but otherwise the meal overall was very good.
