A Place You Have To Try!

[powderpuff]

if he can deliver to jomtien I"ll order now

h\Head over to Bob's Bar B Q in Soi LK Metro. Onion rings to die for. Pulled pork Sandwich 2 thumbs up.

[powderpuff]

Sandwich King is very handy to the new Immigration office.

Best burger in BKK - no question. Tater tots, Root Beer - Heaven. Awesome ribs too.

[bonobo]

As a BBQ snob, I love Mark's place.  This is real BBQ.  I would go there even if it were in Texas.

I have taken a number of Thais there and brought the ribs to some Thai-dominated parties, and they were hits with them as well.

The MetroBurger is pretty good, but the BBQ pork sandwich is superior, in my opinion.  

Love the Tater Tots, too!  

[Ulysses G.]

Which is "Marks place"? 

[jfchandler]

Mark is the owner of BBQ Sandwich King in Nonthaburi...as mentioned above.

[BBQSandwichKing]

How about free drinks or a discount for all us little TV members who take the trip out to your place =D

Place is already cheap!! I'll be back out there this week!!

And... why not taxi fares, as well !?!

ok, i'll tell ya what i'll do. i'll give anyone, who comes here for lunch after doing visa stuff (m-f), a free mini chicken quesadilla. it's one of our best sellers and half the size of our normal one. great appetizer. just tell my staff or me that you just came from the chaeng wattana visa center and it's on the grill and on your honor. done deal. - mark

[RudieTheFoodie]

Hey Mark.

Tried your food tonight and it is "The Mutts Nuts"!

keep going my friend - because you're the first real "American Joint" I've come across here and not too expensive!

Good luck - and keep going!

Hi Mark:  Wish I had one of your BBQ sands right now, so good. I made some crock pot chili last night and woke up hungry. Still trying to make a decent one, and I think this one is closer. Will have some today then freeze the rest for later. Please move closer....please.

hello to all the thai visa forum folks.

i'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to bbq sandwich king: www.bbqsandwichking.co.th you'll be able to find out most things by simply visiting our web site. Yes, we are asponsor, so there's a banner add to click on as well, in case you missed it.

we are about a 100-baht taxi ride down from the new immigration center, which is on chaeng wattana road, so why don't you turn your visa stuff into a culinary joyride!

we've been open for about 2.5 years now, with basically nothing but excellent feedback on everything we offer. if you do an internet search for us, you'll find quite a few links to various web sites; farang- and thai-oriented.

anyhoo, the ultimate test is in the taste buds of our valued customers, and we hope that you'll come on in and treat yourself to a truly mouth-watering experience and be your own judge.

there will eventually be a bbq sandwich king in central bangkok, but the political turmoil has delayed our entry there.

in the meantime, thank you very much for reading this and we look forward to serving you in the very near future.

best regards,

mark j grygiel

owner/operator

p.s. we are also, to the best of my knowledge, the only place in thailand where you can get an authentic, chicago-style, all-beef hotdog on a poppy seed bun. they're extremely unique and extremely delicious. I'm a hybrid american; my roots are in the north and the south!

Nice job Mark already ordered and you must get the hotdogs too please. :jap:

[bkkjames]

Just had a look on the Chefxp menu and have a question. Where's the beef?

[jfchandler]

Metro Burger hamburger not on the ChefsXpress menu... Gotta go to the original shop in Nonthaburi for that...at least for now...

[RudieTheFoodie]

Hi Mark.

I agree with BKKJames - where's the beef!

Tonight we had ribs. Absolutely delicious. But as much as my missus thought they were great - she hates anything sweet (I.e BBQ sauce). Could you guys put the sauce on the side??

[RudieTheFoodie]

In fact, what about a slow smoke roasted sliced kobe beef steak and gorgonzola burger?

Would that be "American Fusion" food 555

Keep up the good work

[bkkjames]

Ok ordered it today through chefsxp who I must say had the order delivered warm in one hour even during todays storm

Overall I give it a 7 out of 10.

Good points, food quality was fine. Quantity ok.

Points to improve IMO...

A bit expensive.

Buns on our chicken and pull pork burger are the same u get at the supermarket and don't travel well (soggy from the hot meat)

Sauces while good are exactly the same for the burgers and ribs we ordered-would appreciate a lil variety or at least a spicy option for the ribs.

Anything else available besides frozen tator tots???

I appear to be missing an extra side of coleslaw in my order?

Couldn't check the bill as it was soaked from the rain.

Total price incl 60 baht delivery- 869.00

Conclusion: would likely wait to try it at the restaurant to avail larger menu (metro burger) and to avoid the loss of quality due to travelling across the city.

[lemel]

Is this the place way out in Nonthaburi?

i hate hearing about great places that are almost impossible to get to without a great deal of effort.

I can recommend a great little restaurant at Scott base in the Antarctic but its one hel-l of a trip.

Thats a kiwi restaurant, I prefer Rothera on Adelaide Island, great british grub and cosy decor!!!

[lazygourmet]

We went there yesterday for a late lunch, superb ribs -hickory wood smoked-, quessiladas and an awesome -blue cheese- salad (nice dressing sauce)

Washed down by beers for me and delightful margarita for the missus.

Plus a take-away burger... and the ribs leftover for the dogs!

As well, a very nice warming welcome from Mark...

Does anybody know where this new location on Sukhumvit is? Thanks.

[onethailand]

Does anybody know where this new location on Sukhumvit is? Thanks.

I don't think that's a retail location - only a kitchen for the purposes of providing delivery services.

[bkkjames]

Just a follow up on the pricing thing I mentioned earlier, found the confirmation of my order in my email...

ORDER

------------------------------------------------------

1 x Signature BBQ Chicken Breast Sandwich with Tater Tots (2201) = 180.83

1 x Carolina Pork Rib Sandwich with Tater Tots (2203) = 277.13

1 x Pork Spare Ribs: 6 bones, Tater Tots & Cole Slaw (2207) = 319.93

1 x Cole Slaw: Small (85 gr.) (2214) = 32.10

------------------------------------------------------

DELIVERY FEE: 60.00

TOTAL (incl.vat): 869.99

I was right when I mentioned missing one cole slaw. BTW, 277 baht for the pulled pork burger is really a bit much IMO. 

[CNF55]

Thanks. Will use ChefsXP - Nonthaburi is just way too far to go for a burger - no matter how good.

[onethailand]

I've learned to check my order before paying now. Not that I don't trust ChefsXP - just that I think the restaurants sometimes don't pay attention. But I also think that the delivery boy should double check all orders before delivering them... in fact here's a good idea - if anything is missing or wrong, the delivery fee should be waived... c'mon K. Sorot, here's your chance

As for the rib burger - you ordered the ribs, make your own burger. Must admit I thought about the burger too but the ribs made more sense.

Well the coleslaw is only 35 baht, if I had to guess it is still in the bottom of the delivery bag (hot bag). The other coleslaw I did receive was in a separate small plastic container in it's own tiny plastic bag - hence my reply. Anyways I am not about to start tearing apart the bags of food / containers in my lobby to check that I got everything I ordered.

The ribs were fine and worth the money, the pulled (chopped?) pork burger, while tasty (the relish is nice) would not be enough to fill one average sized person. I wonder how many JFC can eat? Anyways at 9 USD, I won't order that again.

I also think the ribs are excellent. As i've said before, personally I'd like the BBQ sauce on the side, but each to their own

I thought that the "Carolina Pork Rib Sandwich" was a little expensive too (compared to the signature pork and chicken sandwiches), but then realised that the meat is shaved off from their ribs, and i'm guessing that those are pretty expensive to source. Even here, I guess they are prime.

Does anyone know how they make these ribs (Thai Gerd!) because I'd like to try and make them myself?

dear tv forum folks,

due to strong, consistent demand, our popular metro burger (chicken version also), baby drumsticks and home-made chili are now on the chefsxp.com menu and available for delivery to your home and/or office anywhere in the bangkok area.

many say our metro burger is the best in bangkok, but i think you should be the judge.

enjoy.

thank you very much.

we certainly do appreciate your business.

kind regards,

mark
