Dennistoun Bar-B-Que
Glasgow, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Dennistoun Bar-B-Que smokes its meat on Duke Street and serves it in buns, four days a week, from one small room in the east end. The board is deliberately short: brisket and pork buns, ribs, a chicken burger, cajun fries on the side. Nothing about it reaches for a theme — no roadhouse costume, no second site, no franchise ambitions. The owners even ask you to order directly rather than through delivery apps, on the grounds that the apps take thirty per cent of the restaurant's money and charge you a fee on top. That directness is the whole character of the place, and it is why Dennistoun treats it as neighbourhood property rather than a destination.
