The Best BBQ joint in QLD | Bluebird Kitchen and Smokehouse
There are BBQ restaurants, there are BBQ joints, and then there’s Bluebird Kitchen and Smokehouse. Inspired by American barbecue, Jim and Katie Osborn have brought authentic Texas BBQ to Warwick, Queensland. Armed with a love of food, a do it yourself attitude and plenty of brisket, pork ribs, sausage and chicken, this husband and wife barbeque foodie team have created what is, in my opinion, one of the best restaurants you’re ever going to find.
All of the food is done in traditional Texas style. All the smoked meat is done on site in an offset smoker, using nothing but the best woods available. Combining outdoor cooking with indoor dining, everything in this restaurant is simply delicious. Mentioned above, not only is the smoked meat incredible, but all of the side dishes are first rate as well. I can personally vouch for Bluebird - I’ve been there once, and I’ll get there again soon. Seriously, it’s some of the best BBQ I’ve ever eaten. You should do yourself a favour and eat at this restaurant: it’s first rate.
