Smokin Griddle Cardiff

Proper American-style burgers cooked on a smoking griddle in Pontcanna. The kind of place that takes its beef seriously.

Head down Cowbridge Road East and you'll find yourself at a burger joint that actually knows what it's doing. Smokin Griddle isn't trying to be fancy—it's stripped back, focused, and does one thing brilliantly. The griddle work is meticulous; they're not rushing your burger out. You'll watch your patty get that proper char and crust while the whole place smells incredible. It's become exactly what Pontcanna needed: somewhere between proper gastropub and casual neighbourhood spot where you can grab an excellent burger without the pretension.
