The story
Nestled in Prague’s Holešovice district, Big Smokers has quickly earned a devoted following for no-frills, top-tier barbecue. The space is spacious and casual, built around counter seating and a menu that sticks to the classics. Creator Francesco Zini didn’t mince words, calling it “Il miglior BBQ di Praga”—the best BBQ in Prague—and while he noted the bill came to €43 for two, he made clear it was money well spent.
The brisket, Zini said, is “melt-in-your-mouth.” He also praised the perfect sausage (salsiccia), the pancia, and the Lime Slow, alongside sides like potato salad and beans with little meat pieces. If you’re looking for authentic, no-frills American barbecue in the Czech capital, Big Smokers delivers exactly what it promises.
