Great American Restaurant In Bangkok, Thailand

Great American barbecue isnt easy in Bangkok but theres one place where you can count on it

and thats at Roadhouse Barbecue, located on the corner of Surawong and Rama IV Roads. This

three-story restaurant/bar is home to great American food including barbecue specialties like

barbecued ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, barbecued chicken and many more that represent true

American barbecue at its best. Theres also a large selection of American favorites from burgers

and steaks to soups and sandwiches.

But the real stars of the menu here are the barbecued specialties starting with ribs smoked with

mesquite wood imported from the U.S. and including chicken smoked with hickory wood, pork

for pulled pork sandwiches and even salmon smoked with apple wood. You can get a half or full

rack of ribs or a chicken and ribs combo dish, all of which are served with potatoes and cole slaw

made from an old North Carolina recipe.

And although the barbecue gets the most attention, they actually serve more burgers here than

anything else. You can get yours with three different kinds of cheese as well as toppings like grilled

onions, smoked bacon, sauteed mushrooms and grilled peppers. Another big favorite is the Buffalo

Wings which are on special every Monday night when you can get 20 wings for the price of 10 (170

baht).

As for more American food, the menu also contains sandwiches such as a Philly cheese steak, a

Texas-style beef brisket sandwich, a chipotle pulled pork sandwich, a three-cheese grilled

cheese and tomato, a BLT with apple-smoked bacon, a fish sandwich, a grilled sausage sandwich

with pepper and onions. Well, you get the idea. They cover a lot of bases here.

Theyre also very proud of their chili and they should be since it won an award in a stateside

competition a while back sanctioned by the Chili Appreciation Society International. In addition to

the chili pot here there are also a number of soup pots simmering all the time and theyre full of

roasted red Pepper and tomato soup, black bean soup and a real New England seafood chowder.

There are a lot of other menu items here including steaks, seafood, some pastas and even a great

grilled pork chop. Its not all about food here, though. First, theres Thailands largest selection of

draft beers which also happen to be the coldest in Bangkok according to a magazine poll last year.

Next, theres live entertainment almost every night downstairs after the dinner hour. On the second

floor is another dining room that can be used for private functions or parties. And finally, on the third

floor is Roadhouses version of a sports bar with plenty of TV screens and lots of games to play

including foosball, video golf and soccer and pool on an authentic Brunswick championship table.

So there are a lot of reasons to visit Roadhouse Barbecue and while the barbecue may be the

most publicized of the attractions here dont forget about everything else, especially the great

service and friendly atmosphere.
