SmokePapa BBQ

This is Penang's take on Texas style BBQ and boy, was it D E L I C I O U S. We had combo A which consisted of pulled pork and ribs. The ribs was incredibly tender and just fell right off the bone. You don't even need a knife to cut through the meat - that was how soft it was. The sauce was a little sweet but not overpowering. The pulled pork was absolutely flavourful, rich and moist. We also had their weekend special, the pork knuckle. It was H U G E. Unlike German pork knuckle, it wasn't crispy but instead it was fatty and tender - which I think is suited to the local taste. Despite looking like it was roasted for a long while, the meat was surprisingly juicy. I would recommend this for probably 3-4 people. It was served with their own version of sauerkraut. Traditional sauerkraut is sour whereas this wasn't. The chef informed us that he wanted to create a taste that locals would enjoy. A worthy mention was their knockout mashed potato. It was smooth and oh-so creamy. Absolutely delicious pairing with all the meats. Had the knuckle been smaller, we would probably ordered more mashed potatoes!!! Also the prices were incredibly fair/affordable for the portion/quality. Again, note that the taste has been designed to cater to the local taste buds - so while it isn't authentic Texas taste, they've definitely used the method of BBQ-ing meat to perfection. Would definitely come again should I visit Penang.

I love this stall. Delicious brisket, ribs and pulled pork. Taste is spot on. Meat is tender and juicy, with just the right amount of smoke for me. Not only is the food good, but the young couple running it are nice and friendly too. Hats off to you Hong and Jen. Authentic Texas BBQ in Penang.

Bought for takeaway. They have the best beef brisket that I've ever had. Super juicy and tender. This was a weekend special. So call ahead to order! We were lucky and got the last portion. The pulled pork is also delicious, juicy and not dry like orders that I've tried. Definitely a place to come back to.

Purchased their smoked chicken set as takeaway meal, and worth RM15 per set. Purely pleased with the meal. Chicken tasted simply delightful, the smoke very well infused even to the bones and seasoned well. Above well, the whole set was wholesome, with delicious mash potato, tasty muffins and coleslaw salad. I don't eat beef or pork, but I believe if chicken tastes this good, am sure the others are good too.

One of the fine bbq in town. Every weekend got their special dish. Don’t miss out when you are in town . Remember to make a booking or else you be end up waiting for a long hour???

Super Great Disappointment. After reading the most recent review, and captivating advertising on their screen. The meat is SUPER DRY. I am a meat lover, and this is one that is really once is enough. I ordered the pork rib set RM25.

Good and great everything here. I had ribs and pulled pork this time. If you are a serious BBQ person then bring your favorite sauce with you ... or order-in or take home (or for a party) and provide your favorite sauce. On top of it all they had great rolls and mashed potatoes. Meet Hong and Jen the owners. Jen has a pizza and bakery place in the same Jetty Food Court. I had a good cinamon roll.

The best BBQ place in Penang & I dare say better than even places like Beard Brothers in KL. Got the triple meat set (pulled pork,ribs, chicken with ample sides) and at RM35, it is not just value for money but worth every bite because the meat is cooked to tender perfection and the flavourful sauce went really well with it. Definitely lives up to its slow and low motto, Smoke Papa’s is a must try for all meat lovers, I for one tasted some smoky nuttiness in the pulled pork which you can only get when you roast it with some quality woodfire. Mashed potatoes and homemade muffins deserved a mention as well.
