Red Gum BBQ started from a passion to bring traditional Texas-style BBQ to Australia, blending smoky goodness with a casual, friendly vibe. From humble beginnings, the team has committed to mastering the art of slow-smoking using native Australian hardwoods, producing tender, juicy meats infused with deep, rich flavors. The rustic setting complements the genuine, down-to-earth experience that Red Gum BBQ proudly serves up every day.
When you step into Red Gum BBQ, the star attraction is undoubtedly the expertly smoked meats. The Beef Brisket is a must-try — it’s tender and smoky with a perfectly rendered fat cap that melts in your mouth. Fans of pork won’t want to miss the Pulled Pork, slow-cooked until juicy and falling apart, enhanced by a tangy, signature sauce. The Pork Ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, generously glazed with a smoky, sweet BBQ sauce that keeps you reaching for more.
For something with a bit of a spicy kick, the house-made Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage combines creamy cheddar with fiery jalapeños for a bold flavor punch. Alongside these main attractions, the sides bring the full Southern BBQ experience: creamy Mac and Cheese, moist and sweet Cornbread served warm, refreshing Coleslaw, and golden, crispy Skin-On Fries.
Red Gum BBQ also offers a trio of house-made sauces to customize your meal: the sweet and tangy Red Gum Classic, the mustard-based Red Gum Gold, and the fiery, vinegar-infused Red Gum Fire — each complementing the meats perfectly.
The atmosphere at Red Gum BBQ is casual and inviting, with a rustic charm that makes it feel like a genuine Southern smokehouse. The large, airy dining space welcomes families, friends, and BBQ enthusiasts alike, creating a relaxed setting where good food and good company come first. The staff’s warm hospitality adds to the experience, making every visit memorable.
