Bareknuckle BBQ

Absolutely chuffed that not only has Southern style BBQ made it to NZ but that it’s as good as the barbeque I’ve had in both Texas and Memphis.
Bareknuckle BBQ does it all — ribs, brisket, hot wings, pulled pork. Why’s it so good? Well, firstly because they’ve shipped home the mother of all BBQs from Texas, a massive, 16ft smoker but, perhaps more importantly the owner, Jimmy knows how to use it. The meat has an incredible smoky flavour but is still deliciously tender, which is hardly surprising considering Jimmy drove around Texas learning off the famous pitmasters before opening up shop in NZ.
Currently you can sink your teeth into Bareknuckle at their pop-​up at No.1 Queen St but I’m crossing my fingers and toes that they’ll have a permanent location soon. Until then, keep up with their menu and locations on their Facebook page.
