About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for craft beers
  • Great for happy hour
Fun , casual relaxed dining we don't take our selves too seriously but we take our food seriously.
Great local craft beer range, awesome full strength cocktails & a solid wine list.
We use all Aussie iron bark in our offset smoker, to cook the best wings, ribs and brisket around.
Lots of other menu options available, we think our burgers are pretty special as well.
Awesome views of the Bay.

    Bringing American BBQ & Bistro style dining to the Redcliffe Peninsula Founded by Wade Morris, Slow Smoke Bistro encompasses the passion that he has for good beer and great meat. Our meat is slow cooked for up to 12 hours using Australian ironbark and red gum, giving it a flavour and tenderness that is unique to us. There is something for everyone on the menu, even if you don’t like smoked meat.

    On arrival, was seated at a table that was made of chip board and flaking every where ,falling apart and wobbled terribly. We asked to move and moved ourselves. The staff were rude throughout our whole dining experience to every member of my table. Not one single staff we spoke with was pleasant, helpful or welcoming. The food was terrible. The brisket on the burgers purchased was chewy and dry. The coleslaw on the brisket plate tasted off and was inedible. Chips were all dried and shriveled. The jug of mojito ordered tasted like lemon cordial and had no alcohol in it, very clear after consumption by a single person. It was filled with mint that had been simply ripped up and chucked in like a handful of weeds floating in the top. One of our table members accidentally knocked a chip from their plate and a waitress raced over and scolded him and said “do not feed the pidgeons, they are a health hazard “. To which we responded to the telling off, that he absolutely had been doing no such thing. The carafe bottle of water placed on the table was filthy and grimy. As was the cutlery holder in the middle of the table. We were given bread knives to cut our meat up with. Requests for a steak knife went without action and eventually we had to get up and go and find one ourselves. The food was not cheap and definitely not value for money. And then to top off a less than impressive lunch visit. 3 out of the 4 from our table were ill within hours, all purchased the brisket. 2 out of the 3 regurgitated the meal up. Do not recommend this place at all!

    There are 4 shots in the mojito jug it’s made with pure lime juice and fresh mint. Also food borne illness takes 24 - 72 hrs to make you ill. So you may want to consider your movements in the previous 3 days. Especially as we have no other cases and never have.
