Smoke House BBQ
AdventureMan and I miss two kinds of cuisine living in Kuwait – American BBQ and Vietnamese. When I read on Mark’s blog 248 about the Smoke House, I couldn’t wait to grab Adventure Man and give it a try.
It’s the best American BBQ in Kuwait.
OK, the restaurant itself is small, and not that easy to find, but it is immaculately clean, and there is all the parking in the world. That matters to me.
The service was quick and professional. We already knew about the pie, because we saw it in the display case when we came in, and knew we needed to save room.
We like BBQ, but for us, it is also all about the sides. I adore baked beans, and the baked beans at the Smoke House are very very good. I love potato salad and I love cole slaw, and they had both, and they were both very good. I adore the genuine, very dill pickles that come with the meals.
AdventureMan had the cajun fish and I had the half chicken. They were delicious. We were already stuffed when they brought our order of sweet potato pie. Oh yummmm. The crust is like a sugar cookie, and the filling is perfect. We couldn’t eat it all. It was huge.
I am not critical. I enjoyed all the sauces too much – so many varieties, including the vinegar-y sauce I learned to love in Kansas City and the sweet and hot sauce I love from the Carolinas. I want to go back. I want to try the mashed potatoes and gravy, and the steamed vegetables and the Pecan Pie. I am not a French Fry girl, but these were crispy and very tasty, and I found myself eating even while telling myself “No! No! No!”
I adore ribs, and I hear their ribs are very good. I am just so thrilled that they exist, that someone thought American BBQ would work here in Kuwait. It sure works for me! π
Here is a direct link to the Smoke House Menu.
Here is a map of how to get there, from their website:
It doesn’t have to be magnificent to get my vote – it just has to be good enough, authentic enough American BBQ to fill my need. The Smoke House is a great find.
So now that just leaves Vietnamese . . . anyone?

No pics! how dare you!!
We will be trying that soon, hope the ribs are small and good.
Most excellent! A co-worker was ranting (in the good sense) about the place but her verbal directions were seriously lacking. Can’t wait to try it out!
LOL, Purg, the place is very small and if I had taken out my camera, everyone would point and say “oh look! She must be a blogger!” Besides, since it is very small, I wanted there to be some food left the next time I go; if I put in photos and everyone knows how delicious it is, it will be crowded. If YOU are there, there might not be any mashed potatoes and gravy left π¦ I haven’t tried the ribs, but I hear they are good. Friends also swear by the chicken wings, and tell me to order them by the large amount, not the individual portion.
Ken – We do love our BBQ, don’t we? π I also love local grilled food, and the irony is when we are sitting back in Seattle, we will look at each other and wish we had kebabs and shish taouk.
No pictures π¦
ohhh! The smoked house wings sound YUMMY!
Mark did ;p
Sorry, Ansam. Hey, love the new look, the gravatar!
Ansam, I think everything was yummy!
Mark liked the food, too, Purg!
*drools* I’ll make plans to go there asap! π
We’ll see you there, Mac! π
