Has anyone been there yet? I'm curious to see what the Australian slant on BBQ is.
As far as West Side BBQ, I've found Cecil's and Baby Blue's to be pretty good, but I'm sure there is better to be found!

It's ok. Everything is drenched in their sweet fruity sauce and it lacks the smoky depth of flavor that one might expect to find in good Q.

From your description it doesn't sound ok, to me it sounds like a waste of valuble stomach real estate! Again, in my book, Q has to be smokey, not overcooked and served with a spicey (not sweet) sauce!

Wow. I thought the chopped beef sandwich at NY BBQ is the single worst BBQ I've eaten in recent memory. It was so bad I asked for my money back, and got it because of the 30 minute wait I endured to get this disappointing sandwich.
Beef was overcooked to the point of being like shredded dishtowel. Well, that's not a fair comparison. At least a wrung-out dishtowel will reabsorb moisture.
Worst of all is that these sorry shreds of meat sat in a warming pan with oversweet BBQ sauce until the sauce congealed into a texture that resembled clotted blood. Really sweet, artificially smoke flavored blood clot. Absolutely inedible.

That stinks! I have only been once and had an experience entirely different from yours. The meats, especially the sample slice of Brisket that they cut off of a large piece was dripping with juice and also smokey, flavorful and tender. What's up with this place?
