Fire Kitchen + Bar

Fire Kitchen + Bar is a garden-style American barbecue restaurant and smokehouse tucked away in a side street of Kangaroo Point.

From humble beginnings as a food truck, thanks to its popularity with the punters, Fire Kitchen + Bar has a permanent home in a covered alfresco space underneath The Docks on Goodwin.

Diners can take a seat in the leafy fairy-lit courtyard and indulge in a delicious smokin' hot menu starting with snacks like chicken wings (with BBQ, ranch or chilli sauce), mac'n'cheese (according to customers, they're the 'best ever'), mini cheese kranskis and dirty or loaded fries. 

Next there are gourmet hot dogs (bratwurst or spicy jalapeno & cheese sausage) and a choice of burgers - smash (smashed Angus beef patty), vegan or vegetarian, or low 'n' slow (Cajun spiced chicken, 9-hour smoked pulled pork, 12-hour smoked beef brisket) or monster (combo of smoked sausage, pulled pork & smoked brisket).

Large plates (also to share) include Low 'n' Slow BBQ Plates (9-hour smoked pulled pork, 12-hour smoked beef brisket, 6-hour smoked pork ribs or 12-hour smoked beef ribs) with slaw, pickles, bread roll, BBQ sauce & chips), or upgrade to a Low 'n' Slow Feasting Tray or Meat Feast with combos of the above.

Otherwise dishes from the Charcoal Grill include lamb cutlets with couscous and garlic aioli, rib fillet or sirloin with garden salad, chips & gravy, blackened salmon with creamy mash and garden salad, grilled squid with garlic, chilli & parsley, and cauliflower steak with chickpeas, red onion, mixed leaves, olive oil and lemon dressing.

There are also a couple of decadent desserts to choose from - chocolate brownie, torched marshmallow & burnt caramel or crème brûlée. 

Meanwhile, children have a choice of GF chicken nuggets and chips or special kids hotdog (German frankfurter and tomato sauce on brioche rolls). 

From the drinks menu, there's two local Brisbane craft beers on tap and a selection of canned local craft beers, a concise wine list of Australian drops, along with spirits (whisky, rum, tequila, vodka and gin). There's also soft drinks, ginger beer, still and sparkling water and juice.
