Restaurant Tips: BBQ Hut, Patong Beach
BBQ Hut in Patong certainly gets a fair number of regulars who know that this is the place for Tex Mex, this is the place for a great burger, this is the place for tacos, burritos and nachos. They apparently do good Margaritas too (only 99 Baht), though I prefer a cold beer myself. I've been half a dozen times for lunch, always had great food and enjoy trying the different burgers they have - the Mexican Cowboy Burger, Jalapeno Burger, Chili Cheese Burger, Monster Burger and many more. There are also all day breakfasts, Hot Dogs (I recommend a Chili Cheese Dog), ribs, steaks.. you may get the impression this is not a place for vegetarians! I do eat Thai food 90% of the time, but now and then my western stomach cries out and BBQ Hut is one of the cures.
Location - it moved again in 2012, now to be found on Rat-U-Thid road, north of Sawatdirak road, on the west side of the road before you get to Had Patong Road. I'll do a drive by sometime and take a new photo. Or you can get a map on their website. The prices are quite reasonable for this kind of food, around 150 - 180 Baht for the burgers served with chips and salad or 130 Baht for "The Hungry Man" breakfast.
Updated June 2010 - BBQ Hut was first on the blog nearly 4 years ago - I realised I had no photos so went for lunch today. Great burger, cold beer, make that 2. Viva Mexico! Viva Zapata! Looks like the prices are about the same as 4 years ago. Good. Photos on this page from June 2010.
Wouldn't be Mexico without Tequila. I have spent about 5 months in Mexico in my younger days, and did used to like tequila. These days my stomach is happy with a beer. But this line up of bottles reminds me of Mexican bars.
There are pictures around the restaurant - above you have Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa who were revolutionary heroes in the early 20th century. Mexico has a rich history and loves it's heroes. There is also a big movie poster of the Three Amigos - not sure Chevy Chase is a Mexican hero though.... :)

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for your website. Just arrived in Phuket and your blog was very useful and entertaining too.
Jaime, what is that guy at the veg festival doing and why all the blood?
Great pics ;-)
Hi Jamie,
We are coming to Phuket next week....and wondering if there's any budget but authentic Thai eating place around Patong?
We will be staying at Deevana Resort.
Sure you can find cheap local food in Patong, but don't expect to find it on the beach. Get on the back roads - towards the north end of Ratuthid road, or head up Sai Nam Yen road where there are noodle stalls every evening. You do have to get away from the main hotel zone to find local food. For decent priced Thai food near the beach, a place called Sabai Sabai is still good - not "local" price, but pretty darn cheap - up Soi Post Office, or along Soi Kebsup you have a place called Song Pee Nong. OR try at the Banzaan Fresh Market behind Jungceylon. Hope that helps!
