Red Gum BBQ: A Journey Through Southern Flavors at Red Hill

Signature Meats

The star of the show at Red Gum BBQ is undoubtedly the meat, smoked to perfection over 12–16 hours using native Australian hardwoods in traditional Texas-style offset smokers. Each cut is a testament to the art of slow cooking:

  • Beef Brisket: Tender and juicy, this melt-in-your-mouth brisket boasts a rich smoky flavor and a beautiful smoke ring.

  • Pulled Pork: Slow-cooked to perfection, the pulled pork is succulent and flavorful, often paired with a tangy Carolina-style finishing sauce.

  • Pork Ribs: These ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, glazed with a sweet and smoky sauce that enhances their natural flavors.

  • Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage: A house-made specialty, this sausage combines the heat of jalapeños with the creamy richness of cheddar, offering a spicy kick in every bite.

Southern Sides

Complementing the meats are a selection of classic Southern sides, each crafted to perfection:

  • Mac and Cheese: Creamy and comforting, this dish features pasta enveloped in a rich, cheesy sauce.

  • Cornbread: Sweet and moist, served warm with a dollop of honey butter for added indulgence.

  • Coleslaw: A crunchy, tangy salad that provides a refreshing contrast to the rich meats.

  • Fries: Golden and crispy, these skin-on fries are the perfect accompaniment to any main dish.

Signature Sauces

No BBQ experience is complete without a selection of sauces, and Red Gum BBQ offers three house-made varieties:

  • Red Gum Classic: A sweet and tangy Kansas City-style sauce made from tomatoes, apple cider, and molasses.

  • Red Gum Gold: A mustard-based sauce reminiscent of South Carolina's BBQ traditions.

  • Red Gum Fire: A vinegar-based sauce infused with cayenne peppers, delivering a spicy kick.

Desserts

To conclude your meal on a sweet note, indulge in the classic Southern dessert:

  • Banana Pudding: A creamy, comforting dessert layered with vanilla wafers and fresh banana slices, offering a delightful end to your BBQ feast.

Drinks
