Sunday BBQ at Benny’s: Phuket’s Premier Weekend Feast

When the Sunday BBQ season rolls around at Benny’s Cocktails & Grill, something magical happens: the air fills with the smoky aroma of slow-cooked meats, the sound of live blues and jazz, and the clang of glasses raised in celebration. Located between Phuket’s iconic Surin and Bangtao beaches, Benny’s Sunday BBQ has become the go-to destination for food lovers craving an unforgettable weekend experience.

Origins of Sunday BBQ at Benny’s

Founded in 2015 by Benedikt De Bellis, Benny’s was conceived from his passion for European hospitality and American bar culture. Inspired by London’s golden age American bars, the mantra “come as a stranger, leave as a friend” guides every night. Sunday BBQ nights edge this ethos further—welcoming the local community, travelers, and families to share in a communal feast.

Live music, charcoal aromas, and a friendly staff that feels like an extended this is Benny’s signature Sunday touch.

The Menu: Starters, BBQ Classics & Sides

A great Sunday BBQ dinner starts before the centerpiece arrives. At Benny’s, start with top-quality appetizers:

• Burnt Ends N’ Fries: Tender diced BBQ beef tossed in house sauce, served over Parmesan-lined fries.

• Pulled Pork Tacos: Slow-cooked pork, tomato salsa, and sour cream in soft tortillas.

Then dive into the main event:

• BBQ Beef Brisket : Twelve hours of smoke and love, served with two side dishes.

• Beer & Bourbon Braised Brisket: After smoking, brisket is braised with honey and bourbon—best paired with mash potatoes and baby carrots.

• BBQ Pork Ribs: Slow-smoked ribs drenched in Benny’s BBQ sauce, with coleslaw included.

Your choice of two sides accompanies all mains, offering a delicious balance of textures and flavors.
