About Meatsmith Telok Ayer

Meatsmith Telok Ayer brings low-and-slow wood-smoked Texas barbecue and smash burgers straight to Singapore’s CBD. The kitchen turns out 14-hour smoked Brandt USDA brisket with an intense bark, alongside pork belly burnt ends and double-patty Wagyu cheeseburgers charred on the edges. regulars pair those heavy cuts with warm, fluffy cornbread topped with house-whipped smoked butter—or stack smoked brisket directly over a burger patty. The rustic dining room hums with loud steakhouse energy and friendly floor staff, washing down hefty meat platters with cold cocktails or a barrel-aged Negroni.

  • Wagyu Cheeseburgers & Brisket Burgers: Built with double smashed patties, melted cheese, burger sauce, and house pickles, with options to layer smoked brisket.
  • Wood-Fired Smokehouse Barbecue: Pitmasters slow-smoke Brandt USDA brisket for 14 hours alongside tender pork ribs and pork belly burnt ends.
  • Cornbread with Smoked Butter: Warm, fluffy cornbread paired with house-whipped smoked butter remains a standout order across tables.

Why Dine at Meatsmith Telok Ayer

Authentic low-and-slow wood smoking, inventive burger builds, and welcoming hospitality in Telok Ayer.

  • 14-Hour Wood-Smoked Texas Barbecue

    Meatsmith slow-smokes USDA brisket for up to 14 hours over real wood to achieve deep smoke infusion and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.

    The brisket was lovely and made from good quality Brandt USDA smoked 14 hours.

  • Signature Pit-Smoked Brisket Burgers

    Rather than standard burger toppings, their signature build layers whole slices of slow-smoked barbecue brisket directly atop juicy grilled beef patties.

    The brisket would have been great on its own, but it added smokey flavor to the burger that I haven't tasted in any other burger place.

  • Generous Communal Sharing Platters

    Communal feast sets and expansive platters bring groups and families together around generous spreads of ribs, brisket, and classic sides.

    6 of us went for dinner. The sharing platter and a side of ribs was just right. A delicious mix of beef, pork and chicken.

  • Warm Cornbread with House-Smoked Butter

    Warm, soft cornbread comes paired with house-whipped smoked butter that infuses pit-smoke depth into sweet Southern comfort.

    It's warm, fluffy, and the smoked butter takes it to a whole other level of deliciousness.

  • Beef Brisket

    The brisket was, without question, the finest we’ve ever eaten. Perfectly smoked, incredibly tender, with a depth of flavor that only comes from true craftsmanship and patience.

  • Brisket Burger

    Had the brisket burger which pairs a slice of brisket on top of a burger. The brisket would have been great on its own, but it added smokey flavor to the burger that I haven't tasted in any other burger place.

  • Pork Ribs

    We also had half rack pork ribs, and it was very drop off the bone tender. Pretty solid flavour.
