Validate parking. If you drive, validate your parking before leaving; one reviewer specifically flagged this step.
Check availability. Ask what is currently available before ordering, especially if you have your eye on the burger or a mixed sausage trio.
Confirm policies. For ticketed events, confirm the minimum spend, inclusions and upgrade terms before paying.
Choose seating. For sports events, choose a seat near a speaker and ask about cooling if the weather is hot.
Bring your dog. The beach area allows pets, so a dog can join you; reviews mention water and a towel being available.
Try brisket. The slow-cooked mesquite brisket is a strong first order, served with crispy baby potatoes in one review.

One diner found the restaurant extremely hot and said poor ventilation affected the meal.
Some event guests felt the minimum-spend and ticket-upgrade rules were unclear or applied unexpectedly at payment.
A guest was told the burger was available, then found it sold out; the sausage trio was also incomplete.
During a match, sound was too low in some areas, requiring one guest to move chairs twice.
Beach chairs reportedly sank into the sand and were difficult to move.
The Bottom Line
Logs and Embers is a Palm Jumeirah American smokehouse where the main draw is slow-cooked barbecue in a beach setting. The reviews consistently highlight brisket, ribs, short rib and lamb shoulder, while the Sunday roast—especially the lamb with crisp potatoes, vegetables and beans—gets its own strong following. Sharing platters are a practical way to try several meats at once.
The setting is flexible: choose indoor seating with screens for sports, the terrace, or a beach table overlooking the sea. Dogs are allowed on the beach area, and one guest appreciated the water bowl and towel provided for a pet. Birthday and anniversary visits have also included decorated tables and a complimentary cake.
Service is usually described as warm, attentive and helpful with menu explanations and recommendations. Parking is convenient according to one diner, but remember to validate it. Outdoor comfort is less consistent: reviews mention heat, ventilation problems and chairs sinking into the sand.
During major sporting events, sound can also be uneven, so ask for a suitable seat. Prices are described variously as fair, affordable or somewhat expensive, with generous portions helping offset the latter view. If booking a ticketed event, clarify minimum-spend and upgrade rules before paying; some guests found the policy confusing.
