Southbank Original Barbecue Reviews
Stopped in for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious! Smoked wings were HUGE and perfectly cooked. Sauces are an excellent compliment to the smokey flavors. Service was fast & friendly!
Fabulous atmosphere and delicious food! If you haven't been to Southbank in a while, go give it another try.
The new ownership has completely changed the menu. The food is a complete 180 from the past. I’ve been there four times and had four different things. They’re definitely putting in the time to make it more than just an outdoor place in the summer.

Southbank Original Barbecue offers a unique dining experience, featuring barbecue and fried chicken dishes prepared to perfection. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, especially with the outdoor seating that overlooks the river, making it a perfect spot to enjoy nice weather. Customers appreciate the friendly staff, with many workers ensuring everyone is taken care of, contributing to a lively environment. Guests have praised the food, calling it "the bomb dot com" and a "staple" when visiting the area, while enjoying reasonable drink prices. The new look of the inside has also been positively received, with highlights like candied bacon skewers and fried cheesecake noted by recent visitors. The restaurant continues to be a popular choice for both locals and newcomers alike. The backyard vibe is great, and the scenery is great right off the river. The 50 layer lasagne family meal is delicious, and the holiday prepped meals are excellent in taste, price, and portion, feeding a family of 13 twice. Music and good times abound, and it's awesome that dogs can join the outdoor patio.
