About Frankie's Smokehouse

Frankie’s Smokehouse turns out hearty Texas-style barbecue in Woolloongabba, delivering tender brisket and smoked ribs straight from the pit. Gatherings here lean into massive sharing boards—including the hefty Death by Food Coma platter packed with 3kg of meat and classic sides like cornbread and sweet beans. Tables regularly start with an edible melting beef tallow candle for mopping with bread before pouring the rest over hot pork ribs. Between an outdoor patio that welcomes dogs with fresh water bowls and an allergy chart detailing gluten-free choices, the dining room keeps group feasts easy and relaxed.

  • Feast-Ready Platters: Pre-set sharing trays scale up to communal feasts featuring 3kg of smoked meat alongside classic sides.
  • Beef Tallow Candle: An edible melting beef tallow candle served warm for dipping fresh bread and drizzling over ribs.
  • Dog-Friendly Outdoor Pit: The heated outdoor pit area welcomes dogs with dedicated water bowls alongside full table service.
