If you’re looking for incredible smoked meat 3B has to be right up there on your list.

This container-type resto, in the InBetween Corniche food area (opposite Nation Towers) has everything, even down to the recipes, made, designed, smoked, and cooked in-house - it’s small but mighty! With a lovely outdoor seating area, this is the perfect vibe to enjoy a chilled-out meal and enjoy the gorgeous winter weather.

We met the owner, chef extraordinaire, and recipe guru, Mo, who explained his love for smoked meat and his strive for absolute perfection, meaning he is always tweaking his recipes to make them better and better. Mo, we’d be pleased to go back and be your guinea pig any day! We were shown the smokeroom, where the magic happens, where each piece of short rib and brisket lovingly smoked to perfection for 12 hours. If you like your meat, this is a thing of beauty, the smell alone was making my mouth water!

Appetisers: We were told we would absolutely have to try the house favourite appetisers. Here the bloomin’ onion (AED37) is the star of the show, a whole onion, ‘bloomed’, coated in a light batter and deep fried. Oh my - I may never eat just a simple onion ring again. It may seem a little pricey, but it’s good to share and totally worth the price tag in my opinion. Next the jalapeño poppers (AED43) – these weren’t your ordinary deep-fried poppers; these were grilled whole jalapeños stuffed with a cheese and chicken filling and wrapped in beef bacon. Not overly spicy, these had a fabulous tang to them. Finally, the mac ‘n’ cheese balls (AED35), crunchy on the outside, gooey and cheesy on the inside. Dipped in the homemade creamy tomato sauce, these were heaven.

The Real Deal: First up we tried the burgers; the ‘O’ burger(AED49), with its by-hand caramelised onions was sweet and delightfully messy, but I am an old skool girl at heart and I favoured the smashed cheese burger (AED46). The smashed patties had a fabulous grilled crisp but still maintained their juiciness. The brisket burger (AED64) was a thing of beauty: you could really taste the smokiness and it was the overall winner for the self-confessed BB Burger Queen, Paige. And for the grand finale… the short rib bone-in. Now at AED139 this is the most expensive thing on their menu, but for good reason. Again, big enough to share, this bone-in wonder is huge. We forgot cutlery and dived in with our hands, a la caveman, and the meat just fell away from the bone, tender, smoky, and delicious, dipped in the honey bbq sauce.

Sides and more: Serving up a variety of chicken, fries (both loaded and not), hot dogs, and an Impossible vegan burger there is plenty for the non-beef eaters as well.

In my opinion, sharing is the name of the game at 3B - you’ll want to try lots of things - so grab some mates, order a mix, and dig in! 3B only does dine-in and takeaway to protect the quality of the food which I love. So, grab a table, enjoy the cooler weather and chow down on some perfectly smoked meat!
