Barbeque Kings

Food average… if you manage to get what you ordered :) chips were not cooked tho… and is it just me or anyone else get issed of when you get a can of cola and there’s no English writing on it… or get a multi pack can and pay a quid for it?.suckerd

Really well priced and very close to a number of clubs. The chicken pakora is really good and filling, however the curry (on chips) wasn’t particularly nice.

I’ve tried this place a couple of times and it’s so far off the mark that it isn’t even funny. The name is very misleading too. «Barbecue Kings»…okay, that sounds good to me, because I love barbecued food, so how do they get away with calling themselves Barbecue Kings when absolutely nothing is barbecued? Nothing is cooked over a flame at all. It’s all very fried and stodgy. The meat they use is cheap, nasty and under seasoned too.
The only saving grace is the cost which is very reasonable, portion size and the fact that they deliver.
If you’re hammered, staggering past and want a boatload of food for not a lot of money, give them a go, you’ll probably be too drunk to care about the stuff I mentioned above.
However, if you’re looking for good food that’s actually seasoned well and not over cooked, and actually does what it says on the tin, then give it a miss.

Ok, so I’m staggering home from a mates house after a few jars and I hit a takeaway for some grub (read review of Chapati 3) and it sucks… like really sucks… like it sucks more than henry the hoover.
In addition to this, i’m failing in my quest for a cab, so end up having to walk home from Partick to Kelvinbridge carrying a guitar that started out light, then realised halfway home that it was infact a planet and thus started to weigh so.
Grrrr is the word of the day, so it was with sheer joy that i spotted this old faithful and huff/​puffed my way in for a pizza to drown mt sorrows.
5 mins later later I’m heading home with a hot steaming meat feast in my hand (easy now people) and a happier head. Arrive home. Wolf into pizza and all is right with the world.
Thank you BBQ Kings. You do what you do well. Nowt fancy, but good. Oh so good!

Barbeque Kings has been on the go since I was at high school. My and my friends used to come in here for a daily dose of chips (seriously, why am I not fat by now)? I should’ve been healthier and packed a sandwich, but I couldn’t help myself.
Over the years BBQ Kings have changed their look on a few occasions, but their menu remains virtually unchanged. That’s because it ain’t broke, so they don’t have to fix it. They do seriously good kebabs, burgers, and a kick ass portion of chips and cheese.
More recently, they’ve introduced fancy booths for people to sit at, which is great if you fancy eating your lunch inside rather than on a wall (which I also used to do when I was at high school — I have no shame). They’ve also been endorsed by the Just-​Eat website, which I have had some pretty bad luck with in terms of ordering takeaways but it’s good to see Barbeque Kings flying the flag of takeaways with seriously good food to offer!
They’re open from early afternoon into the wee small hours of the morning, which proves to be eternally popular with people flooding out from the neighbouring pubs and Viper nightclub. At peak times it tends to be busy but don’t let that deter you. They are a thriving business and can shift a queue in a matter of minutes since they’re used to a constant stream of custom. If it is swamped, I would seriously recommend waiting around — their pakora and kebab can’t be beat!

I’ve always been a fan of Barbeque Kings; and it seems that they keep re-​inventing themselves each time I go in.
There are no longer any tables to sit at, but some little window seats are available while you wait for your food.
I always try to avoid the peak times when the Viper groups are getting out. Mainly because I just can’t be bothered with other drunks.
They’ve reinvented the kebab, by the way. No longer will they put it in a pitta bread, which will inevitably be soggy by the time you get home. No, now they put it in a wrap, and grill it.
O.M.G. It’s delicious.
The pizzas here are fantastic, and a selection to choose from. Definitely worth the wait. They don’t deliver, but if they did, I’d be all over it.

Not a bad wee takeaway.
It even has seats inside so it’s like a kind of chav’s idea of a restaurant, which has a certain charm about it I suppose.
We had a small chicken tikka pizza and some chips, which was nice. Just your usual take way style stuff really. They did have more choice than other take aways and offered ‘meal deals’ which was pretty good. They also have two massive tellies which usually show music channels so it’s somewhere to sit in out of the rain if you have to wait on the underground and you’re a bit peckish.

Definitely in the upper tier of kebab proprietors, Barbeque Kings has been keeping the drunks of the West End happy since the mid-​1990s.
However, this place doesn’t just cater for the Viper crowd. With a small seated area, it represents a decent, albeit not particularly healthy, spot for lunch. Although you should try and organise such visits after the designated lunch hours of nearby Hillhead High and Glasgow Academy, when it is particularly busy.

This is one of the best kebab shops on the walk out west. It is more expensive than the average, but is worth paying that bit extra– assuming that your taste-​buds are still in shape to appreciate the difference.
A friend of mine lives around the corner, and we did buy an immense amount of take away one night: that it still tasted good half an hour later, and that we managed to finish it all says all that I need to know. Most times, I am throwing chips in the gutter before I am full.
Certainly, their chips and meats are less greasy than most places, and the salad even looks fresh.

If you are on Great Western Road, or even if you aren’t, and you are looking for a take-​away, or even if you aren’t, and you crave more than just your typical take-​away scran, and are willing to pay a fraction more (no more than two pounds extra roughly) then you can do no better than Barbeque Kings. In fact, it is the best kebab I’ve tasted in Glasgow.
The building itself looks classy with its dark marble and when you enter the smell will hit you like a punch in the face (that’s a good thing). It doesn’t matter what kebab you get, and there are plenty to choose from, simply choose one and enjoy. Everything from the bread to the salad to the sauce to, last but far from least, the meat, is delicious and you will have to travel far and wide to get a better kebab. I have been many a time, although as a student I am usually forced to stick to standard Indian take-​aways where prices are slightly lower and satisfaction is in the gutter in comparison, and I have yet to be disappointed, even by their own high standards.
In short, a must.

I’m quite baffled that everyone else seems to be calling this place «a chippy». On many visits I’ve never once seen a Mars bar deep fried in here, and as far as I was aware it’s more of a kebab joint.
Anyway, for a donner or some chicken pakora it really can’t be beat, and as I’ve not given out a 5 star rating for a while, Barbeque Kings are getting my «crème de la crème» award. Just don’t order a curry from the menu, they don’t actually do them despite it clearly stating they do.

After Viper, when you’re feet are sore, and you’re gagging for a bit of grub BBQ kings is the place to go.
Yes there are other more veritable chippys and take aways nearby, but it’s RIGHT NEXT DOOR! Seriously! You can stumble out of Viper and into BBQ Kings. Brilliant. The food and banter are slightly questionable (my friend did find a chicken pakora amongst her vegetable pakora once and the guy behind the counter just said «what?! you don’t like chicken!?»…hmmm…), but food’s food, and when you gotta eat, you gotta eat. Especially after a few bevvys — no one will argue with that.

D I R T Y — This is a dirty, dirty chippy and I can’t stress enough how you should avoid it at all costs. Sadly, if you live in the area and find yourself walking home after a night out on Byers Road you may be tempted by the bright lights and greasy smell but be strong and say no. The next day you will think of my advice and smile as your heart continues to beat at it’s regular pace and your waste line remains the same.
I have been on a number of occasions, though only as my friends wanted chips, and I was shocked to see how the staff brandish their wilted peppers and tomatoes as if to say ”look at us, we know the vegetables are past it but we just don’t care anymore, look at the food we sell — why would we?”
Well you should Barbeque Kings, you should!
