“Sadly we did not enjoy the food here. The chicken was extremely overcooked, and fried to the point it was almost inedible... the fries and breadbun were ok, as was the service but the chicken was far too badly cooked, and the chicken looked nothing like the photo on their menu!”

“Came across this place by accident while I was out for a walk. Tried the brisket sliders - excellent. Then had the chicken tenders - perfect! Chicken shops should take a serious note. Then was tempted by their smoked cheesecake - amazing. Staff were super friendly, timing was ace, tables were spotless. I’m definitely going back there at some point.”

Check hours. Confirm closing time before a late visit; one customer found it closed at 11:15 pm despite hours saying 11:45 pm.
Ask for sauce. If ordering a large brisket portion, ask whether extra sauce is available; a 1 kg order came with too little sauce.
Share brisket. For a group, half a kilogram may cover three people when paired with sides, according to one diner.
Choose brisket. Brisket received stronger feedback than chicken across these reviews, so it is the safer first order.
Allow time. Avoid arriving when rushed: one customer reported a long wait and food arriving cold.
Try lemon mint. The fresh lemon mint juice was recommended as a refreshing pairing for the heavier brisket burger and fries.
Plan the visit
One visit involved a long wait, with some food arriving cold.
Chicken quality is inconsistent: one diner found it extremely overcooked and nearly inedible.
A review specifically criticised the brisket for containing too much fat.
At least one customer found the restaurant closed before the posted 11:45 pm closing time.
One diner considered the brisket overpriced and tasteless, and also disliked the drink's size relative to its price.
The Bottom Line
Mr. Brisket is a Palm Jumeirah restaurant built around smoked brisket, burgers and casual street-food-style meals. The strongest reason to visit is the brisket itself: diners have praised the brisket buns, brisket sliders and a “Brisket for one”, with one reviewer saying the meat was tender enough to eat with a spoon.
The classic beef slider and Bu jasim burger also receive enthusiastic mentions. There is more than dinner on the menu. Reviews mention breakfast meals, brisket fries, chicken tenders and a smoked cheesecake, while fresh buns and ingredients are another recurring plus.
The restaurant is described as dog-friendly, and one customer found parking easy at the mall location. A half-kilogram brisket portion was enough for three people when served with additional sides, although another diner paid Aed 150 including two drinks for a meal featuring “Brisket for one” and Sultan sliders. Consistency is the main caution.
Some visits delivered juicy, flavourful meat and attentive service, but others involved a long wait, cold food, fatty brisket or badly overcooked chicken. Check the closing time before a late visit, and consider asking for extra sauce with a large order. If it is your first meal here, brisket or a beef slider appears less risky than the chicken based on the mixed feedback.
