Smokey's BBQ - South Buona Vista

Smoked, slow roasted and slathered in homemade BBQ sauce, the premium meat dishes served up by Smokey’s BBQ amount to some of the best all-American food in Singapore. Burgers, buffalo wings, and craft beers are the order of the day at the South Buona Vista branch, just off of South Buona Vista Road. This diner boasts of its 20-hour slow-roasting technique, but thankfully the service is speedy – you’re never left hanging, despite this American diner’s popularity. Still, it’s never a bad idea to book ahead.

Happy Hour from 11.30am to 7pm and 10pm to close.

At the Smokey’s BBQ South Buona Vista outlet, the kitchen team – just like at the other branches – imports a secret blend of seasonings, mesquite and hickory wood chips direct from the US for use in its custom smokers, tenderly infusing a selection of prime meats that are themselves imported air-chilled and never frozen: baby back pork ribs, St Louis spare ribs, prime beef brisket, Angus beef, chicken legs, Dutch veal ribs, and southern fried smoked fish. And the sixteen-coaches-long train of ride American cuisine doesn’t end there. Singapore’s Smokey’s BBQ has a selection of burgers that will challenge all but the loudest mouths: from the Smokey’s Classic Burger to Grandpa Joe’s Backyard Burger and all the way down the freeway to the Monster Burger, whose name says it all.

With an executive chef also imported fresh from the US (air-conditioned, not frozen), all of Smokey BBQ’s branches – there are two in Singapore – are certified authentic. The decor at Smokey’s BBQ South Buona Vista branch, in the eatery enclave off South Buona Vista Road, is all A-grade Americana to match its American cuisine, with indoor and outdoor seating. The happy hours are long – 3pm-7pm, which means you can enjoy the range of US craft beers, or an alcohol-free, real-fruit, Mexican Jarritos soda, at your leisure. Smokey’s BBQ is all about slow food, long afternoons, and speedy service. Stop by the restaurant on South Buono Vista Road for a superlative American meal in the heart of Singapore’s Buono Vista.
