The best BBQ in Brisbane’s inner-north riverside area of New Farm, Newstead and Teneriffe can be found at the Bluegrass Barbecue New Farm Smokehouse! Founded on July 4th, 2006, we’ve been serving up Brisbane’s best Barbecue for over 14 years.
We’ve had a couple of name changes along the way, from BlueSmoke BBQ to The Smoke BBQ and now Bluegrass BBQ at The Smoke, but our passion for creating mouth watering food has never waivered. Our team have decades of experience and are using recipes honed over 4 generations to bring you the Authentic barbecue of the South. Our New Farm Smokehouse is partnered with restuarants in Albion and Eatons Hill currently, and we have plans for more spots around Brisbane soon.

Meat every way you love it
At the New Farm Smokehouse
Cooking meat low and slow, over indirect heat from charcoal and timbers such as Hickory and Pecan are at the heart of our Barbecue obsession. Our BBQ experts have honed their skills over decades tending the BBQ pits, and they love firing up our Southern Pride smoker, imported directly from Kentucky USA, and filling it with premium Aussie meat cuts. With a focus on preparing meat in an American style, our modern-day hillbillies offer the best BBQ in Brisbane!
The residents of the New Farm area have access to our fun and friendly dine-in restaurants and we supply delivery and takeaway for pickup as well. When you have a hankering for some American style BBQ in Brisbane, the Bluegrass Barbecue New Farm Smokehouse will provide what you need!
