★★★★★ 5.0 Ian Robertson · Jan 2026

I am super particular about my BBQ, and even belong to a little bbq group, and this was top notch. By far, the ribs were the best. But brisket was amazing and chicken too. I don't like smoked turkey in general - but I likes THEIR smoked turkey. They were all super nice and seemed excited about their food - which showed in the quality of their food. 5/5 for sure - I highly recommend

We stopped here on the way to Melbourne because of the reviews. The man serving meats was very personable. I got the brisket sandwich with the fries. My husband got the pork platter. The fries in the pan were soggy and not warm. My husband got fresh ones and I asked if I could get some of those but the woman said I couldn’t. As it turned out those got cool and soggy fast anyway. None of the food was hot. As another poster said, the sides aren’t that great. The baked beans were good but very seasoned. I could only eat as much as seen in the photo. The brisket did indeed melt in my mouth, but that’s because there’s about a third fat in it. That did make it very tasty but I cut out the fat, which you can see in the picture. The pork was good but oily. They didn’t tell us that unlike every ot

Nice 😊 bbq place 🐮 🐷 🐔 in the old theatre 🎭 ……we had the brisket sandwiches with Mac-n-cheese 🧀 . It was a bit pricey 💵 but good and juicy. Staff was friendly and place was clean. I will come back again…..Enjoy the Day! 1 ❤️ ✌🏻 💨!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Big Daddy Travels · Sep 2025

The staff greeted me warmly, picked up right away that I was a first-timer, and walked me through the menu with some helpful suggestions. I went with the beef ribs, tallow fries, and potato salad for sides. The pitmaster sliced me the end cut of the rib, which had me pumped—I knew it was going to hit. And it did. Solid 8.7 on the Big Daddy scale. This is definitely a spot I’ll be talking about in the future.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rock Everwood · Nov 2025

Food was old school country barbecue and every single thing I had was outstanding! If I have to nitpick I can only come up with two negatives, 1.the Tallow fries while delicious were extremely salty they should really lay off the salt and let you do it yourself and secondly they don't sell beer 😭
