Smokin Hot 'n Saucy

Been driving past here for a while now and finally decided to stop in whilst we were checking out the nearby op shops. We couldn't believe how quiet it was during lunch, as the alluring smoke and smell tempted us from a good 200m away. Once here we found that the place consisted of a shipping container and two trailers where the magic happened, all decorated in a rusted out tin-vintage style with the surrounding brickwork beautifully spraypainted in Texan BBQ imagery. Within 5 minutes of ordering, my partner had her small mac & cheese with a side of expertly cooked beef brisket that melted in her mouth. I was treated to the Carnivore Burger with the very same brisket, along with some juicy pork, and a layer of spicy sausage on the bottom. Although I didn't get a beer, we saw advertisements for these and got the feeling it would be a blast to hit up on a Friday or Saturday night. An absolute gem in Newcastle and well worth a visit from anyone out Islington/Hamilton way or strolling down Beaumont Street.

Great food, but a bit on the expensive side. Luckily for us, what we wanted was on special. We had the Mini Lot Platter which is normally $65, but was on special for $50. Included three sauces, but they weren't labelled so unsure what they were. ( having said that, we didn't need much as the flavour of the meat was tasty enough without any sauce). Plenty of paper towel and hand sanitiser on each table.

Dish sizes are on par for the money you pay. Couldn't fault the flavors in the brisket, pork, or sausage! If I had to give a fault it would be for the Mac n cheese, but only because I prefer them baked. Service was polished, these folks have been doing this together for a while and it shows. Definitely worth a stop here folks. Would love to know if it's BYO, because only a cider or a rum and coke would make this experience any better :)

Amazing food if you can get it delivered . Terrible delivery service youll wait 2 hours then to be told your order is cancelled . Happened twice in a month . Such ashame as the food is excellent best in newy ! . But if you order online dont be surprised if your food doesn't arrive . Sort it out folks .

Hmmm... I so wanted to be impressed. At $90.00 per kilo for meat I guess my expectations were as high as the price. However...with a great deal of it being fat, I was left feeling hungry. The chips were overcooked and I was unable to eat most of them. Sadly not a good experience but a great concept and the staff were nice. No more Brisket for me.
