My partner and I decided to give this establishment a try, as we often drive past it, and we had an…read moreEntertainment Book voucher for 25% off. We called ahead to book a table, though when we arrived we realised that it was more of a fast food establishment than a restaurant. The waitress was very friendly, she provided us with the menus and explained how we needed to go up to the counter to place the order. She recommended that we try the Pit Master Pack, since we had not eaten there before. This goes for $59.95, and the two cans of soft drink ended up costing a good $7. The Pit Master Pack consisted of ribs, quite a few buffalo wings, hand pulled pork, coleslaw and fries. It is a good serving for two people. I am not the biggest chicken wing fan, though enjoyed them, apart from there being a bit too much sauce. We chose the cheese covered fries, though they weren't that great, we probably should have gone with the plain fries. The food was nice, though far from mind blowing, which made the pricing hard to justify. We left a bit unsatisfied in terms of how full we were, and how much everything cost, even with the voucher. I personally wouldn't visit here again, it is not for me. I would only recommend this establishment to someone who was really into buffalo wings and ribs.

I must admit my first impression of this American-themed eatery were spoiled by bill-shock. When…read morethe girl told me how much our hot dog, Po'-boy and fries was I literally swore out loud! Seriously, the food here is not cheap. BUT - it is bloody good. When our order arrived my eyes drank in the beauty of my pulled beef roll, while hubby rubbed his hands with glee over his chilli hot dog and loaded fries. And the first bite made the pain of the cost fade away- amazing. Well worth it! In fact despite being hungry I I couldn't eat the whole thing as the servings are generous. When this joint first opened there were lines out the door and long waits, but we were one of only three diners at lunchtime today. The cute checked tablecloths and mustard with ketchup on the tables adds to the US of A atmosphere, the only downside to the location on a nice day is being serenaded by the traffic on the main road. Two thumbs up for the food. My wallet is still hurting but at least I'm so full I won't want dinner tonight.

Being new to Brisneyland, I am being taken around by my local friends quite often and after…read morewatching the game, we headed to Brooklyn Standard for a night cap. I have 100%, totally and completely fallen in love with this bar. First off, I love the little entrance down a side street, it's hidden, but live music is bursting out of the doors. You walk down the stairs and are greeted by an underground haven of music, dark spirits, beer and beautiful wooden furnishings. Other reasons why this bar is amazing: 1. Live music. Could you fit more people on that stage and have them play better music? Not sure you could. 2. The bar. It makes me happy and I want to drink all of their booze. Their back bar is beautiful. So full and so well laid out. 3. Tinnies and apple mimosas for $6 on week nights from 5pm 4. Their bathrooms are fleek AF. Black. Mirrors. Beautiful. Yes. 5. Jack Daniels. All of the Jack Daniels. 6. The bar staf are super great. Fun, laid back but hard working. 7. Clientele. They're all for the fun and totally chilled out. People were dancing, everyone was happy. It was grea. Go there. Enjoy. You're welcome.

If you didn't know this place was here, I doubt you would find it. And that's part of the appeal…read more Walk into the very unassuming doorway under the simply lit "BAR" sign, wander down the dimly lit stairway, and all of a sudden, you're in a whole different country. Brooklyn Standard is a very cozy underground bar, themed (as per the name) in a very American way. Having just come back from a 3 week holiday in America, this place just totally appealed to us in just the right way :) It has a very casual feel to the place, and you can easily sit at the bar, or hideaway in a booth. They've got a good selection of beers including our personal favourite American Beer - Blue Moon. Some on tap, some in bottles. They've also got a very interesting selection of cocktails, one that even includes root beer, which is absolutely delicious! To make things even better, they have live music every night from about 7.30pm, and serve free pretzels. Beers are about $8.50, cocktails range from $14-$16. Note though, and this has also been mentioned in other reviews - those pretzels are the only food that you will find here. This is purely a drinks and cocktails bar. Still, I rate this 5 out of 5, and will definitely be back.

I love giving great reviews of spots I've been to, but sadly Roasties is only getting three stars…read moretoday. When we looked at the menu for Roasties or mouths were watering as everything sounded amazing. Ribs -chicken - rolls - flavour fries - American sweets and drinks, it all seemed amazing, despite the low-high varying prices, but sadly as most things seem, it was too good to be true. My company and myself ordered the pulled pork, country styled chicken, and the Philly cheese steak roll and New York flavour fries. The first downfall, the meal sizes were rather small, they did not seem plentiful at all as if there was an attempt for the meals to be sophisticated in a restaurant people would go to for greasy delicious food. Sadly the arrangement didn't work. On a positive note the fries came is large portions and we're definitely the standout. The New York fries came covered in Cheese-wiz, sour cream, bacon and shallots, it was amazing and they were delicious. Besides them getting cold rather quickly, they were amazing and I would gladly order them take-away in the future. Sides that came with meals were not tasteful at the slightest unless you had peculiar tastes, and again were in extremely small portions. I feel harsh leaving such comments on a place with such high potential but I can only be honest. Roasties is an American BBQ restaurant with amazing potential and a great looking menu. If portion sizes can be adjusted, prices can suit food quality, and food can be hotter, then Roasties can definitely be an amazing restaurant.

What an awesome gem of a place this is... After watching American BBQ cook off shows on Foxtel…read moreduring the long lonely nights of being a dad, I was happy to come across a genuine American style BBQ Restaurant close to home. So i grabbed the wife and three boys to go out and see what all the fuss was about... This is a very friendly venue with just a couple of tables indoors (seems like all the cooking equipment is rightly afforded pride of place). Apparently they have the best old school chocolate milkshakes in world according to my three boys, plus an amazing selection of american "soda pop". The american burgers are phenomenal (our favorite was the pulled pork), american style BBQ ribs do not get better than this! Bring your napkins and make sure you wear loose fitting pants! We are planning a second and third trip in order to eat our way around the menu.

What I loved: - I ordered the buffalo BBQ wings and they were AMAZING. The sauce was great and the quantity justified the price. I would recommend anyone to give this a go. - staff were welcoming and flexible. We arrived 30 minutes before closing time and they welcomed us and did everything they could to ensure we were sorted before the kitchen closed. That to me speaks volumes of the personality of the place. Well done. - they got Dr.Pepper soft drink! This is like golds dust. It is hard to find and I was so happy this places served it.

That brisket burger the tray filled up with sauce n its still through the meat n coleslaw . The bun squishes soggy . Epic fail. Nice meat shame its soaked in rich sauce . The tomato sauce on the cheese burger n hot dog is too rich for me too n who likes wedges of pickle that thick if at all . Idk i think they should try there food more often . They might like really rich sauce n to consume about 8 tablespoons of salt when they eat a burger who knows ...

I saw a photo of Greaser online of its creepy back area, a concrete and fluroescent light dungeon…read morecovered in menacing graffiti, and made plans with friends to go there immediately. Greaser's shtick is, well, a 50s American greaser bar. Think of the kind of place James Dean and the Fonz would have a beverage. It also serves greasy (hehe) American food like fried chicken, burgers, fries and hot dogs. Greaser's front bar area is not a creepy dungeon at all, and quite elegant and cosy under the dim lighting. Between all of us, my group of friends ordered everything off the menu. I ordered the fried chicken. The coating was KFC-like but with interesting spices in it - I think it may have been dukkah. Unlike KFC, I didn't feel sadness and regrets afterwards - it was really delicious. Our meals came with onion-y "red eye" gravy and smoked chipotle mayonnaise, which I quickly became addicted to and mopped up with chips. There's a few interesting beers on tap but I had the special that night - whisky with freshly-made apple juice, straight from the juicer. PLUS the bar played some fun rockabilly and 80s tunes that got us chair-dancing over our burgers. Greaser is pretty cool. I hope they hold events and gigs in the future because it's a rad little space.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Hands down the best bar in Brisbane I've been to in years…read more Greaser is bang on trend in the way that only a place opened once a trend has settled down can be. Serves generally American food and drinks? Check. Craft beer? Check. Much edgier barstaff than you are? Check? Down an alley? Check. Johnny Cash on the stereo? Check and check. I wanted to go because I wanted to try it but with some recent rock bottom experiences with other bars in this vein I kept expectations set to low. There is nothing particularly original about Greasers. American food stopped being a revelation a while ago, and frankly is starting to grate a little. Bloody Marys and Picklebacks are having a real moment right now so people are slinging them at you anywhere you go. And craft beer? You can now actually get it with breakfast some places. The fact that these are everywhere does not in any way diminish their appeal. I like burgers, I love bloody marys, and I enjoy brine more than is entirely reasonable. And these offerings are made all the more appealing by Greaser. The space itself is lovely with ample couch seating and booths, elegantly low lighting that isn't seedy and the mid-century music that is curated rather than cloying. Special mention must be made of the staff. During our visit they were uniformly incredibly polite, attentive and very very pleasant to deal with. Knowledgeable about the drinks behind them and able to mix an excellent cocktail. These are the sort of staff we should see more of and who should be clutched like rare diamonds by bar owners. Special shout to the woman with the tattoos and undercut. She mixed what is easily the best bloody mary I've had in Brisbane. Served on bourbon with plenty of hot sauce, this was living and this was living well. Greaser also has a top flight tequila selection which is really great to see. It's wonderful that more places are experimenting with tequila and incorporating it into more than shots, which is a really barbaric way to treat a drink of such complexity. One of our group hailed from Mexico City so this was a blessed relief. My ex is Mexican and nothing says 'Australians are completely clueless about soft racism' than taking someone's national drink and letting bogans punch it until they fall over Here the reposada is served in appropriate glassware and all is good. The troubles with on-trend establishments are just like the troubles of any other establishment, poor staff, wrong price point, sub-par offerings etc. The problem is when a venue is also tricked up there can be a gloss over it that keeps people coming back for no particularly great reason other than to be seen to enjoy themselves. Greaser suffers for none of this. This is a bar that is serious about being a bar. All venues need an edge. But as more and more venues in Brisbane slide from creative to kitsch it is deeply refreshing to see a venue like Greaser that maintains an interesting point but does it with a laser like focus on great service, great décor, great drinks and great food. It's a real credit to the group behind this venture. I'll be back. A lot.
