Ranch style beans with brisket ends
Sweet and spicy.
★★★☆☆
Mac & cheese, Zesty coleslaw, Potato salad
★★☆☆☆
Southern style cornbread
Extremely crumbly with corn kernels and pieces of capsicum.
★★☆☆☆
(from L to R)
Smoked Angus beef sausages
These were tasty however the casings were tough and chewy, and once these sausages had cooled down, each bite left a pool of oil in our mouths.
★★☆☆☆
Pork, fennel and chilli sausages
Smoky, spicy, slightly dry.
★★☆☆☆
Pork belly
Marginally dry.
★★☆☆☆
Beef brisket
Salty, not particularly smoky.
★★☆☆☆
Pulled pork
Tender, lacked flavor.
★★☆☆☆
Lamb ribs
★★☆☆☆
Overall:
Casual atmosphere, average service, unexceptional food. I’d probably go elsewhere for American BBQ.
