Ash Kickers Briskets & Bourbon

Ekkamai’s new American barbecue specialist draws together smoking methods from across the US with one caveat: only wood is used, no gas or charcoal. The menu packs in succulent 16-hour smoked beef brisket (B880) and intensely tender beef short rib (B1,060) along with slow-cooked Hawaiian kalua pork (B450). Go the whole hog with the Ash Kicker Combo (B1,360), which overflows with brisket, pork belly, kuala pork, smoked wings, and spicy sausage.

30/7-8 Ekkamai Soi 12, 02-120-4088. Open Tue-Fri 5-11pm; Sat-Sun 11am-11pm

Billy’s Smokehouse

Raw concrete walls decorated in psychedelic artwork create the setting for a barbecue lover’s paradise. Here, giant platters (B2,900) of beef briskets, meaty California-style beef ribs, smoked Sloane’s sausage and awesome cornbread are served to chunky wooden tables that invite sharing. Smoked with hickory for upwards of 22 hours, the briskets are usually made using Aussie wagyu with a marble score of five (fatty but not extreme), resulting in flesh so tender and juicy it falls apart (B750/200g).

Love Me Tender Le Bistro

Situated inside TTN Avenue Community Mall, this French eatery makes liberal use of sous-vide techniques—a process where dishes are slow-cooked in an air-tight bag submerged in lightly hot water. The result is meat that's deliciously tender and evenly cooked. Highlights here include the flavorful 72-hours beef short ribs (B1,500/400g.) and the rack of lamb lathered in a demi-glace sauce (B580). Enjoy classic French dishes like escargot (B320), cassoulet (B520), bouillabaisse with rouille (B620), beef bourguignon (B480) and a lot more.

Meat & Bones

The Commons’ low ‘n’ slow barbecue offering is all about ribs—and pretty much only ribs—served up in a communal setting. There are two options: the standout eight-hour-roasted beef ribs (B480) and the six-hour-roasted pork ribs (B280), both of which are cooked in a smokehouse with their own recipe of rubs and barbecue sauce. Side dishes are made fresh daily including mashed potato, corn salad, and—our favorite—the cornbread (B60 for small and B80 for large).

Rib Room & Bar Steakhouse 

Shirking the dark wood that dominates your typical steakhouse, RR&B adopts more sophisticated minimalist decor, with an eye-catching red palette and floor-to-ceiling windows offering bird’s eye views of the city. Here, gourmet French cuisine flies out of the contemporary style kitchens with speed and grace. You can order via exclusive set menus or a la carte, and the ingredients lists are some of the best you’ll find—boasting the likes of Australian Dry Aged Rib Eye Beef, Matsusaka Beef A5 and freshly imported seafood. The restaurant’s wine cellar stocks a huge selection of outstanding wines—a perfect complement to the spectacular top-floor views.

Roadhouse Barbecue

Bangkok's original real-deal barbecue joint still pulls in a big crowd for its authentic, American-style wood-smoked ribs. Baby backs and pork shoulder get treated with imported mesquite, beef brisket with hickory, and salmon and sea bass with sweeter apple wood. We recommend the beef brisket dinner (B450)—a 12-hours Hickory smoked brisket served with potato, and the BBQ platter for two (B999) features ribs, chicken, Caesar salad, your choice of brisket or pulled pork, corn bread, onion rings, and baked beans.

Smokin Pug

Bangkok’s go-to for a true taste of America’s Deep South is packed out night after night with barbecue lovers getting stuck into the smoky, sticky, fall-off-the-bone baby-back pork ribs. All the meat’s prepared low ‘n’ slow in the courtyard’s giant smokers, resulting in tender perfection and intense flavors such as the baby-back ribs and beef brisket platter with homemade cornbread and slaw (B895/two portions), which hits all the right notes. Dessert is a must, even if your waistband is screaming out for you to stop. The bread pudding dessert (B225) is pure bliss with adults-only bourbon sauce.
