Co-owner Gary Stewart and Chef Colin Stevens bring traditional slow-cooked, wood-smoked, American-style BBQ to the fore at this threestory eatery on Soi Ekkamai 12.
Mouthwatering beef brisket and fall-off-the bone beef and pork ribs are the specialties here, but you’d also find lots to love with the pulled pork, pork belly, and hot links. The meats are smoked in custom-made, wood-fueled vertical smokers for hours on an end, 16 in the case of their signature beef brisket (B880). When the meat is cooked as good as these, seasoned only with salt and pepper, you barely need any sauce, although sides are more than welcome. Try their AK Chicken (organic whole baby chicken with signature brine, B750) if you aren't a fan of those red meat menus. Most of the meat dishes come in platters that include jalapeño corn bread, creamy slaw and a choice of sides. You can order more sides (B120/each) from a selection that includes smoked beans, potato salad, macaroni salad, and more. Roasted Shrooms (B300), a dish of fire-roasted seasonal mushrooms with herbs and salt, is also a perfect addition to the platters.
There are also breakfast items for you to choose from, including the Big Kahuna (B390), a sinful treat that includes homemade sausage, bacon, egg, baked beans, and jalapeño corn bread, as well as sandwiches, quesadillas and salads. Vegan dishes are also available. Traditionally, a meal of wood-smoked beef brisket won’t be complete without some bourbon.
Ash Kickers boasts one of the most comprehensive bourbon collections in Bangkok, offering more than 30 different kinds. The bar also provides a good selection of cocktails, wine and beers, including their own Smoked Maibok (B260), a craft beer made with smoked barley.
