Holy Smokes BBQ Bangkok

Post by Trongpai »

I was excited to see an new "American" BBQ restaurant with a billed "Memphis Style" offering. I am a big fan of Memphis BBQ especially a joint in Memphis called Memphis City BBQ.

Holy Smokes is on Suriwong not far from PP2 and is part of the up market Meridien Hotel, now a Marriott. It's open air front and comfortable seating. Several craft beers on tap.

The best think I can say about Holy Smokes is excellent service and a nice atmosphere. I am very familiar with southern American and Memphis BBQ and authentically speaking this was nether. I would classify it as more of an Asian fusion. Not bad, if a little pricey, and not what I expected from a review of Trip Advisor and their web page.

My usual American BBQ joint is The Smokin Pug. That's authentic. My dinner partner liked Holy Smokes more than the Pug, I did not.

Sounds to me like a good reason to try both.
