Bogart's Smokehouse Taipei (美式木柴烤肉屋)
It is a restaurant that specializes in Texas barbecue. The owner is an American. He will confirm with you whether the number of people is present before arranging to queue up to order food. Photography is not allowed except for the food on your own table⛔️, and it is also prohibited to bring outside food⛔️ inside. The queue lines are carefully planned. During the queue process, a Taiwanese clerk will introduce the menu to you. There are also many foreigners coming to dine, which shows that the taste should be very authentic.
environment 🏠
There are a lot of seats in the store, and the table turnover rate is quite fast. When we queued, we didn't wait too long. There was a refrigerator next to us when ordering, and there were drinks in it for reference. We got mineral water for 20 yuan.
Dining 🍽️
Half set meal/800 yuan + spicy sausage/260 yuan:
There is a half portion of pork ribs and you can choose a 4-ounce portion of meat, which can also be paired with two side dishes, including baked baked beans/macaroni and cheese/cabbage salad/potato salad/homemade pickled cucumbers, which we chose Braised beef brisket with sauce, choose macaroni and cheese and potato salad as side dishes. After ordering, the waiter will guide you to your seat and then introduce the four sauces on the table.
- Voodoo: It's like a sweet chili sauce with a little sweetness, but with a lot more spice. I like this sauce the best.
- Mom's original flavor: a thick barbecue sauce with a bit of sweet and sour fruity flavor, which should be the most suitable for everyone's taste.
- Carolina Sweet: A bit like yellow mustard, but with a little sweetness that goes well with pork.
-Mississippi mud vinegar: The store clerk said it is vinegar mixed with various spices. Shake it before use so that the spices will sink to the bottom.
I think each of the four sauces has its own fans, and they all go well with meat, so you can try them all.
The pork ribs are grilled very delicious, with a crispy outer shell but soft and tender meat on the inside, with a little smoked pink smoke ring, which can be easily separated from the bones and meat. When paired with the above-mentioned sauce, it really tastes like meat. Good news for class lovers.
I think the beef brisket grilled in sauce is a bit more woody. I don’t know if it’s because of the parts. Most of the meat is blackened by dry wood. It doesn’t taste the same as the beef brisket I’ve eaten before. Plus, it’s grilled in sauce. The taste was very strong, and it didn't come with a burger. I felt tired after eating it, which was a bit disappointing.
Spicy sausage has a completely different texture from Taiwanese sausage. The filling of the sausage is mainly lean meat, with almost no fat. It tastes very solid, with a light smoky aroma in the entrance. It is also spicy and tasty, which is not bad.
Generally speaking, it is a restaurant with a strong taste. If you usually eat lighter food, you may want to consider it, or choose a meal with a burger to avoid getting too tired after eating.
