Decker Barbecue

Need meat? Head to Decker Barbecue (behind Boomarang on Robertson Quay) with its casual counterside ordering, wooden tables and strung up coloured lights. Often the meat (like the USA-reared brisket) takes up to 16 hours to slow cook on the massive smoker behind the counter; once it’s sold out, it’s game over. Up for grabs: a hefty three meat (600gram) plate, with two sides, which will feed two easily, or go a la carte and pick and choose your own platter. Consider the sought-after Brisket, juicy Pulled Pork or the Spare Ribs along with sides like homemade Cornbread, trendy greens of Kale Salad, Fries or Brisket Beans. Wash it all down with craft beers like Little Creatures or Brewerkz on tap.
