Good Barbecue in Naka-meguro [Closed]

The aptly named "Good Barbecue" is an American style craft smoke barbecue restaurant located in Naka-meguro. The trendy location in the newly renovated Naka-meguro station surroundings houses the newly opened barbecue joint. Naka-meguro has done a lot in developing the area and nearby are several shopping and entertainment options. The atmosphere within Good Barbecue is open, friendly and includes indoor and outdoor patio seating areas. The interior design is meant to imitate a Brooklyn style culture with street style imagery as well as wood and brick.

The specialties here are the barbecue plates that are smoked hours upon hours and sliced fresh upon ordering. Choose a combo barbecue plate and share several varieties of meats with a group of friends or order individually by the meat. Choices include pork belly, spare ribs, baby back ribs, beef brisket, roast beef, and homemade bacon. There are four sauces that pair perfectly here with the meats so be sure to try out each and find your favorite. I would first recommend trying the meat without sauce or perhaps with a bit of salt so you can fully enjoy the smoky flavor on its own. Sides are 390￥ and include a traditional American mix of macaroni and cheese, corn bread, coleslaw, baked beans, garlic butter rice, potato salad and more. A typical dinner with meat, sides and drink will cost upwards of 3,000￥ per person. You could also opt for a burger set for around 1000￥. Burgers varieties include barbecue, cheese, bacon, pork, roast beef and are all served with fries.

You may not want to pass on dessert as well. Look out for multiple varieties of pancakes with fruit, berry and chocolate toppings, Mississippi mud pie, cheese cake, lime tart, and of course American cherry pie.

With an excellent mix of craft beers, wines and cocktails there are plenty of options for pairing. There are multiple varieties of craft and seasonal beers on draft and sold by the bottle. Original cocktails are beautifully presented and include martinis, manhattans, mojitos, bloody marys and much more.

If you are coming with a group, party plans are available. Though not always necessary it may be best to reserve in advance through the website reservation form, especially if visiting on a weekend evening.
