Atmosphere, ambiance and service was impeccable! All staff were attentive, friendly, and jolly! Plenty of times I was asked if I’m enjoying the food or if I needed anything more, so rest assured if you plan on eating here, and you really should give it a go; you’ll be well looked after by the well trained and impressionable staff.
Chefs really outdid themselves on the Angus beef ribs, the wagyu brisket, and the all-so-delectable-delicious-mouthwatering Charcoal grilled crispy pork pastrami (the flavour, tenderness, and juiciness is mind blowing) one of the best meat I’ve ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth (And I do mean meat meat, no pun intended). The brisket and Angus Beef Ribs are by far one of the best I’ve had in Melbourne, tender as it can be and just slices through so easily with a fork. Meats are perfectly seasoned and flavourful and made me appreciate each bite I took.
I’m been to multiple American BBQ places, so far there’s only been one that rivals this restaurant. Definitely one of the best I’m had in Melbourne.
Had one of the cocktails which was ‘Just Peachy’, the drink is good and balanced with all the flavours complimenting each other, no individual ingredient was overpowering. Enjoyed that one a lot.
Wanted to emphasis on how friendly the staff was, it definitely made my experience dining in much more comfortable and enjoyable; as the food is already amazing, the staff lift it up above from amazing to phenomenal! Made the experience memorable!
A big thanks to Joey the bartender who was very accomodating and going beyond what is expected to make my experience more enjoyable! And to other staff who unfortunately I wasn’t able to receive their names due to the rush that began shortly I was finished, they were very accomodating and made it clear they cared for their customers!
Will definitely be here again and spread the word of this place! Looking forward to coming back.

If you’re looking for a spot that takes “low and slow” to a whole new level, Meatworks Co. is it. We recently celebrated our anniversary here, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special.
The atmosphere manages to be both industrial-chic and incredibly intimate—perfect for a milestone dinner. Here’s why it’s currently at the top of our list:
The Food: Absolutely divine. The meats were tender enough to fall apart if you even looked at them funny, packed with deep, smoky flavors that only come from true craftsmanship.
The Service: The staff was attentive without being overbearing. They genuinely cared about making our anniversary feel like a celebration, offering great recommendations and keeping the pace of the meal perfect.
The Cocktails: Often an afterthought at BBQ joints, the drinks here were extraordinary. Balanced, creative, and the perfect companion to the rich, savory dishes.
The Verdict: Whether it’s a special occasion or just a Tuesday craving, Meatworks Co. delivers an elite dining experience.
For the people out there who still think places like Third Wave are the gold standard, you really need to come here to finally understand what a real meat house looks like!

The tables for 2 were small and felt cramped but the ambience and service made up for it. I loved the steak frites. Serving was huge and the steak was tender and done to my liking (medium rare) except for a small portion that was too rare for my taste. The roasted potatoes were crunchy and dusted with shredded cheese He ordered 1 kg of the ribs which also gets a thumbs up! Side was a crunchy cabbage salad that refreshed the palate in between meaty bites. Overall, a satisfactory night and will definitely be back!

Absolutely beyond words. Huge shout-out to Joey and Kelly for their outstanding service — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish.
The food was amazing, and the atmosphere matched it perfectly. Great music, generous space between tables, and beautifully timed service. My partner and I ordered the platter for two with a side salad, perfect portions and everything arrived right on time.
Highly recommend the “A Pink Surprise” cocktail. It was easy to drink, with raspberry and cherry notes and a lovely fizzy rosé finish.
Thank you to both the front and back teams for making our experience so memorable, not just through flavour, but through your kindness and service. It truly meant a lot.
Definitely keep coming back!
P.S. my Asian folks, don’t skip the Nam-Jim sauce. You never regret!

I first found this place just hanging out with my friends. I actually don’t eat meat that often, but somehow I’ve already been here 3 times!
The BBQ beef ribs are insanely juicy and super soft. Cooked perfectly. The BBQ sauce coats the meat so well. Honestly, this is the best BBQ ribs I’ve ever had.
The sausage has a crispy skin on the outside and is juicy and tender inside. Really good, I loved it.
Disco fries are a must. Fries with cheese sauce, and I’ve never seen any place give this much cheese before. The sauce covers every fry and tastes so savory. I always order this when I come. The portion is perfect too.
Mocktails (Golden Bloom and Tropical Oasis) were both really nice. Golden Bloom tastes smooth and light. I love the coconut syrup, it stands out and blends really well. Tropical Oasis is full of tropical fruit flavors and feels very fresh.
The potato bun is so soft and fluffy. I always order an extra one to eat with the meat.
Overall, I really enjoy the food here. Everything tastes amazing. After coming with friends, I brought my partner and he loved it too. The staff is nice and friendly, and the vibe is great. I’ll definitely keep coming back again and again.

Choose this place for the reviews. Beautiful and well staged restaurant. We were seated and given menus immediately, our drink order was taken and received promptly. Cocktail and mocktail menu was great and our drinks were delicious and refreshing. We ordered a platters so we could taste a range of meats, plus some sides to share. The wait wasn’t long at all and all the dishes were hot on arrival. The wagyu brisket was probably the best of all the meats, with the pork ribs a close second. The chicken drumsticks n pulled pork were dry and barely eaten. The range of sausages were ok. The coleslaw was delicious, as well as the potato bread rolls. The chips were nicely made but the lemon pepper seasoning was random and kinda clashed with the smoked meat flavours. The macaroni cheesy was hot and had a generous cheese sauce but not really any flavour, more just texture and the look. Overall, the atmosphere and service was great but the food itself, for the price, was a pass.

The BBQ meats were cooked perfectly, flavorful, tender, and satisfying. The drinks were great, the food overall was delicious and the service was truly wonderful. A top spot in Melbourne for a solid BBQ feast.

Smashing experience,
Service was top notch, from getting seated to the end.
We had the brisket, sauasage, wings and disco fries and smoked peanut mascarpone.
The brisket was cooked perfect soft tender and full of flavour
The gravy for chips was thick and rich,
The suaaages where cripsy and juicy
The wings added a refreshing finish to the meal.
The dessert helped everything down.
The drinks we had was the bricklane pint, house made brisket smoked JD. My god never have i had ever seen JD elevated to such a high level.

Been meaning to drop in for a good feed of American BBQ and it was awesome.
We got the platter for 2 + mac n cheese + steamed veggies + potato chunks.
– Brisket, soft, melts in ya mouth.
– Pork ribs, soft, tasty and great bbq sauce (not too sweet )
– Pulled pork, I’m usually not a fan because I’ve had too many dry ones. This has been the best so far.
– Links or sausages, wholly crap they’re smack ya mama good!
– Pork belly, omg crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It tasted like fried chicken, BONUS
– Chicken, we didn’t get to it we were too full.
Mac n cheese, loved it
Potato chunks, loved it so crispy.
Steamed vegetables, well it’s steamed veggies and wifee was happy.
Service was exceptional the guys were awesome.
Atmosphere, blues playing in the background great indoor setting .
I’ve been to American bbq places in LA and Vegas and this was as good if not better than the best one we went too. We’ll be hitting Texas within the year so that’ll be interesting.
If I could give you a higher rating I would.
We’ll be back
Thank you
