Curated: Phat Boyz Smokehouse and Kitchen’s American BBQ deliciousness

Located in the Ipswich region at Walloon, a 13-minute drive from Ipswich’s central business district, PhatBoyz boasts that their low and slow BBQ is sure to hit the spot for those hankering for a meaty meal. The restaurant has a rustic yet industrial feel with brick walls, a giant, open outdoor area, and a massive smoker right in the dining area.

The smokehouse is the ideal spot for pretty much all occasions. Catching up with friends could be the ideal excuse to get through their selection of craft beers, and loiter (and savour) in the sweet and salty smells and tastes of Phatboyz’s delicious cuisine. Their outdoor area is perfect for that relaxing lunch date or morning brunch with the family, whilst catching some sun.

To guarantee your spot, you’ll want to make a booking at this popular establishment. And whilst it may seem like it’s bustling, their service is friendly and proficient in taking care of guests no matter the rush around them. Every server makes their table feel like family, and they provide the ideal, casual dining experience their guests come in for.

Phatboyz is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they have something on their menu for everyone. For kids, they offer a menu that includes house-made nuggets and mini meat platters for the little carnivores.

They even offer vegetarian options like their BBQ vegetable salad and Mexican street corn, matching the restaurant’s all-are-welcome vibes and convivial atmosphere. The restaurant has a relaxed yet upscale vibe that connects top-quality food and service with the laid-back environment that goes with American BBQ.

But you’re here for the BBQ, which means people looking for classic BBQ should seriously consider indulging in the Carnivore Tray and the Phatboyz Tasting Box, both of which are piled with brisket, pulled pork, wings, and a brioche milk bun to sop up the savoury sauces left on the plate.

But for the more adventurous eaters that want to step out of the traditional BBQ box, they have a Peanut Butter and Jelly Fried Chicken plate served with peanut satay sauce and bacon jam sauce that has mouths watering all over Brisbane and Ipswich. They also serve an Aussie Lamb dish with tzatziki sauce that combines Australian meat and American BBQ with a dash of Greek flavour.

Not daring enough for you? You’ll want to tackle Phatboyz’s burger challenge that is a 1kg ground beef pattie, 1kg pulled pork, cheese, bacon, egg, salad, BBQ sauce, mustard, and a side of french fries. If the diner can finish the entire burger in 30 minutes or under, Phatboyz will cover the meal.

Make no mistake, the noise and hype about Phatboyz Smokehouse and Kitchen is real, which is why it’s one of standout establishments to add to your foodie bucket list when you’re in Brisbane.
