The Bottom Line

Daddy’s Smoke House BBQ & Grill is a Majan smokehouse for people who want low-and-slow American BBQ rather than a standard burger meal. Beef brisket is the main draw: reviews describe it as smoky, juicy, tender and well-seasoned. The smoked lamb shank, ribs and pastrami also earn strong praise, while the Classic brisket melt and burgers give you easy sandwich-style choices.

Portions are often described as generous, and the menu suits sharing. One reviewer paid 65 AED per person for a table of five, although that is a customer-reported past bill rather than a current price. Sides are mixed: onion rings, mashed potatoes and some mac and cheese pairings were well received, but mac and cheese has also been called bland or oily.

Promotions have improved value for some diners, so it is worth checking what is running when you visit. The small dining room is usually described as cozy, clean and peaceful, with several reviews praising attentive service. Parking is the main practical drawback: street spaces can be difficult, and diners report walking five to ten minutes.

Reviews are not entirely consistent on brisket quality, with a few visits finding the meat dry, so eating it fresh from the kitchen may be wise.
