AMERICAN BBQ
IN SINGAPORE.
DONE LOW AND SLOW.
Meatsmith is an American BBQ smokehouse restaurant in the heart of Singapore's CBD, serving bold flavours and slow-smoked meats on Telok Ayer Street since 2014, three minutes from Telok Ayer MRT. Part of the Burnt Ends Hospitality Group, it is the quieter, everyday expression of the group's live-fire cooking.
At the heart of Meatsmith is a commitment to doing American barbecue properly. Meats are trimmed and seasoned by hand before being smoked low and slow over hickory wood in Southern Pride smokers, with selected cuts spending up to 14 hours over the fire. It is a discipline practised daily by Head Chef Eddie Goh and the kitchen team.
Hickory lends the meats a bold, bacon-like smokiness while its subtle sharpness balances richer cuts. The long cooking process allows fat to render gradually, collagen to break down naturally and smoke to settle deep into the meat, creating tender barbecue with a proper bark and unmistakable depth of flavour.
"Good American barbecue is built long before the doors open."
The menu celebrates American barbecue in all its forms. From the signature 14-hour Smoked Beef Brisket and Half Rack Pork Ribs to house-made Cheese & Jalapeño Sausage, Brisket Spring Rolls and generous sharing platters, every dish is designed to bring people together around the table.

One of the Best Burgers in Singapore — Ranked #50 in the World
American barbecue doesn't stop at the smoker.
Meatsmith is officially Singapore's top-ranked burger destination, ranked #50 on the World's 101 Best Burger Places 2026, making it the only Singapore-based entry in the global Top 50.
Every burger reflects the same low-and-slow philosophy that defines the smokehouse.
House-made potato buns are cold-fermented overnight for up to 24 hours before being baked fresh daily, creating a soft, fluffy texture that's sturdy enough to hold every juicy bite. Pickles, signature sauces and other accompaniments are all made in-house, while meats are never frozen, only chilled, preserving their natural flavour before cooking.
Whether it's the Meatsmith Wagyu Cheeseburger, the Double Cheeseburger built with smoked beef brisket patties, the Nashville Fried Chicken Sandwich or the Pulled Pork Sandwich, each burger is crafted around the same principles of balance, smoke and honest American barbecue.
More Than a Meal — Events, BBQ Catering & Delivery
The drinks programme is built to stand alongside the barbecue, with craft beers, bold wines, whiskey and bourbon-driven cocktails, alongside house-made non-alcoholic options that balance smoke, spice and richness.
Looking for something beyond the regular menu? Gather eight or more for the Fire Feast, celebrating the communal spirit of American barbecue, or explore the flavours of the American South through the Tasting Flight, where curated bites are paired with carefully selected pours. The restaurant seats up to 60 guests across indoor and outdoor areas, and can be booked for private events and group dining.
Keep an eye on Meatsmith's regular lineup of takeovers too, where chefs and personalities from across Burnt Ends Hospitality Group, alongside guest collaborators, step behind the pits to present their own interpretation of American barbecue.
Beyond the restaurant, Meatsmith Catering brings American BBQ catering to celebrations, social and corporate events across Singapore, while Meatsmith Xpress handles BBQ delivery across Singapore, bringing slow-smoked favourites straight to your doorstep.
Whether it's a weekday burger, a family feast or a barbecue spread shared with friends, Meatsmith is built on one simple belief:
Good American barbecue is worth taking the time to do right.
