Smokestack BBQ & Grill Patong: Wood-Fired Dining By The Coast

Patong Beach may be famous for its vibrant beachside grills, but the dining scene just got a sizzling upgrade. Nestled within the stylish Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, Patong Beach Resort, the newly unveiled Smokestack BBQ & Grill is redefining the art of barbecue with wood-fired perfection, world-class ingredients, and the bold spirit of open-flame cooking — all set against breathtaking seafront views.

A Smokehouse With Style

Forget casual buffet-style barbecues. Smokestack BBQ & Grill is a refined yet relaxed destination that blends the soul of an American smokehouse with the easygoing charm of the Andaman coast. With elements of wood, flame, and smoke coming together in a multi-sensory environment, this is where elevated grilling meets tropical indulgence.

Meet the Pit Master: Chef Christopher Tuthill

At the heart of Smokestack’s open-flame magic is Chef Christopher Tuthill, an American barbecue authority and graduate of the California Culinary Academy. With experience spanning San Francisco and Hong Kong, Chef Christopher brings both passion and precision to his craft. Specialising in butchering, curing, smoking, and grilling, he cooks low and slow over wood-fired grills, infusing every dish with deep, smoky richness and signature flair.

Signature Dishes That Turn Up the Heat

Whether you drop by for a relaxed lunch or indulge in a dramatic dinner under the stars, Smokestack’s menus promise unforgettable moments. The daytime offerings include gourmet burgers, sandwiches, salads, and snacks, while dinner turns into a bold display of fire-kissed brilliance.

Highlights from the evening menu include:

• Slow-Cooked Beef Short Rib – cooked overnight and finished with fruit tree smoke for unbeatable tenderness
• Smoky Grain-Fed Beef Brisket – house-rubbed, smoked to perfection, and melts in your mouth
• Wagyu Beef Tomahawk – a 1.4kg showstopper of Australian prime beef, grilled over open flame and finished in a charcoal oven

Not just for meat lovers, the menu also showcases premium seafood, including:

• 500g Canadian Lobster – basted in garlic butter and grilled to juicy perfection
• Charred Local Seafood Platter – sustainable prawns, cuttlefish, scallops, and rock lobster served with garlic aioli

Vegetarians are not forgotten. Dishes like Grilled Romanesco & Portobello Mushroom with paprika and garlic deliver bold flavours without the meat. And of course, sides like Mac N’ Cheese and Smokestack Slaw offer comfort with every bite.

Crafted Drinks for Every Occasion

Whether you are gathering with friends or enjoying a sophisticated dinner, Smokestack’s drink list is designed to match every mood. The bar serves up local craft beers, imported ales, classic spirits, boozy iced teas, and inventive cocktails like:

• Bacon Old Fashioned
• Texas Bloody Mary
• Tennessee Buck

Prefer wine? The extensive cellar includes global labels handpicked to pair beautifully with grilled meats and seafood.

Limited-Time Pizza Collaboration: BBQ Meets Italian Soul

From 9–30 April 2025, Chef Christopher’s culinary creativity blazes beyond the Smokestack kitchen as he teams up with Chef Marco of Goodfellas for a one-of-a-kind collaboration. This limited-edition menu fuses the smoky boldness of American BBQ with the rustic charm of Italian pizza artistry.

Expect boundary-pushing creations like:

• Fried Pies – stuffed with short rib ragu
• Detroit-Style Slices – topped with nduja cream and smoked chicken

It all leads up to a one-night-only kitchen takeover on 30 April 2025 at Goodfellas — an event sure to delight BBQ and pizza lovers alike.
