Texas Joe’s Slow Smoked Meats is an American barbecue restaurant spanning 8-9 Snowsfields near London Bridge. Its dark timber frontage, casual dining room and sister saloon evoke the roadside smokehouses and honky tonk bars of Texas. The menu is intentionally concise, allowing the smoker and carefully selected cuts of meat to remain at the centre of the experience.
Brisket, beef short rib, pork ribs, pork shoulder, mutton and chicken are cooked slowly over wood to build deep smoke, tender texture and a seasoned outer bark. The meat is presented simply with house pickles, slaw and sauce on the side rather than hidden beneath heavy additions. Guests can choose one cut or share several across the table to compare their different textures and richness.
Classic barbecue sides add comfort and contrast. Macaroni cheese, jalapeño cornbread, potato salad, brisket chilli and stuffed jalapeños sit beside wings and bone marrow. Tacos introduce another direction through smoked fillings, lively sauces and pickled vegetables, while a smoked celeriac option gives diners a substantial alternative to the meat focused plates.
The Flying W Saloon completes the Texas atmosphere with cocktails, craft beer on tap and a broad choice of Texan whiskey. Margaritas and mezcal based drinks work especially well with smoke and spice. Booking is useful for a busy service, and outdoor tables offer another way to settle in for barbecue, drinks and the easygoing hospitality that defines the restaurant.
