Decker Barbecue, Singapore - Singapore River/Riverside - Menu, Prices & Restaurant Reviews

Food was great, good beer selection and the place is cozy. Just a shame that the staff completely fails on Southern Hospitality. Less than 45 minutes at the place, beer still 3/4 full, I was asked to pay up and 5 minutes later told they...needed the table - that’s just plain rude. I was offered a seat at the bar, but sorry, I wasn’t even there for 1 hour and nobody told me they needed the table in 45 when I came. You can have hiccups in the kitchen and with service, but being rude to customers is a no go for me. Won’t be back.More

Roger, sorry for your poor experience at Decker a few nights ago. Obviously your experience was unacceptable. There was a miscommunication amongst the team, so that they thought you had been told the time we needed the table back. So when the time limit expired,...More

Sad dismissive customer service but pretty decent brisket.

It's a real pity that this place that serves up pretty decent Q is lacking tremendously in the customer service department. We dig casual and down-to-earth places but when the waiters display insolence, dismissive tones and when you feel like you're obviously a sideshow in...their preoccupation in socialising amongst themselves, you know that if you ever come back, it's simply for the food which hopefully stays consistently good. The ambiance doesn't save the day either. Wooden tables on a sidewalk, practical but charmless. On a lazy saturday, our table for 6 was sticky and as mentioned, waiters seemed happy to roam around the restaurant back and forth, chatting animatedly away but when you did grab their attention for anything, you got bored expressions and zombie postures. As said, a real pity. Spruce up the seating area and throw in some sunny dispositions.... it would do wonders to this restaurant's offerings. We wont know if it'll ever be done cos it's our first and last time here. However, if we ever hanker for their lovely brisket, we'll arrange for a home delivery.... and we hope that it'll be as good as we remembered it to be.More

Sorry that you had a bad experience with our hospitality (or lack there of). Obviously, we take our service seriously and want to create a fun, warm environment like you would have a traditional American BBQ joint. Clearly, we fell short on your visit. We...More

Banging food and bad service

The food was unreal. Best bbq food since being in Singapore and a good portion. Shame about the service. We had to wait 20 mins for our table that we booked in advance and our table we were sitting on was near the toilet, far...from ideal.More

Daisy, We are thrilled that you loved the BBQ, but sorry that you were upset with the service. The aim is to get every booking sat on time every night, but with a fully booked restaurant, there can sometimes be delays. We try to still...More

Great Meats and Service

... and the Sides are good, too! Friendly staff and fast to the table makes dining a breeze. The signature dish remains the pork ribs. One caution: if you book the second session, a few mains might have run out

The pork ribs are delicious! And we do run out of meat every night, since we can only smoke so much BBQ each day and we can't reuse it the next day. Only freshly smoked stuff each day at Decker!

Reasonable price, tasty barbeque meat

Tasty barbeque meat at reasonsable price. Location was not easy to find though. It is at the back behind Ten Sushi and Bar.

Thanks for stopping in and enjoying our legit American BBQ! We are a bit hidden since we are behind Boomerang, but we like to fly a little under the radar.

Been here before , but still great!

Came here a few years back and it was great , and it still is. Just before Covid regulations tightened again here in Singapore I went out with my Girl and brother for dinner. It was packed. The staff said we would have to wait...a bit , but offered us a beer on the house while we waited. Brilliant idea! Got our table , quick staff took our orders and off we went.Brought a bottle of bubbly and that was quickly popped on ice for us to enjoy. Small corkage fee. No dramas! Food was great as usual , fantastic meats and sides , crisp craft ales , happy times. Jose and his staff were awesome , so thanks Guys and Gals!More

Good food, customer experience could've been better

Food was great. Meat platter, sides and starters were great. Shoutout to the cornbread! Food came quickly, service was efficient and the atmosphere was lovely. The only part that marred the entire experience was when we were practically chased off as there were other patrons...who had made a reservation and were waiting for our table, specifically. Up until then, the entire affair had been very pleasant. We were pretty much told to wrap up in 5 minutes as they needed our table back. A 30 minute heads up would've been nice, or a comment at the start that the table had been booked for a next seating at a certain time. What left me puzzled was that it was hardly busy - there were 4 other perfectly empty, unused tables and unoccupied counter seats that they could've placed the patrons. But I guess two people can't sit at tables meant for four people?? https://www.tripadvisor.com.sg/ShowUserReviews-g294265-d9591221-r808103582-Decker_Barbecue-Singapore.html#More

BROUGHT ME STRAIGHT BACK TO TEXAS!

Since we are on lockdown I decided to order. It was a gamble between this restaurant and another famous smokehouse. First time ordering from them. The beef brisket was so tender and juicy so were the ribs. The max and cheese is so authentically American....The bbq sauce was perfect not too tangy not too sweet. I’ve tried a few upscale smokehouse and bbq restaurants but hands down the best bbq meat I ever had in Singapore. Would highly recommend this restaurant. So uniquely American not those gimmicky ones for sure. It reminds me of the time when I was living in Texas.More

Yummy Meats!

We had the Decker Feast for Two for our party of two, opting for the wagyu brisket, wagyu burnt ends and pork belly burnt ends as mains and mac and cheese, fries and guacamole as sides. As per our previous two visits, the food was...top-notch and we totally enjoyed our time there. The seating area at Decker is outdoor and limited and the restaurant almost always requires a reservation. Book early to avoid disappointment.More
