hoosegow charcoal restaurant

first time here. we tried it because of the entertainment book offer. tasty food, large servings, smoky flavors with some spice. we had the beef brisket, lamb back strap, signaturechickendish and sa gulf prawns. chips were tasty and they allow byo

really good service and fantastic food! portions are quite large so be aware. the chillie mussels were really good but the mexican squid wasn’t my favorite. the chilliechickenand the lamb were equally good and the tres leche was good.

i have driven/walked past here so many times and thought it was time to give it a go. we walked in and the decor is just lovely. the key area i was impressed with was the attention to absorbing sound with decor sound pads on the ceiling and walls in addition to soft seat cushions. this could be improved further with sound absorbing material under the table. the staff we all fantastic. started with the most amazing garlic bread served in the most amazing way 10/10. i had the specialtychickenwith chips omg the flavours were out of this world and not a bone in sight 10/10. wine was 10/10 and there was something for everyone on the wine list. other orders were steak and the brisket for the table all are very generous served and were all fantastic 10/10. desserts were the affogato and chocolate tart another 10/10. table service was just stop on and not intrusive. everyone lined up at the door when people left to say thanks and wish you a good evening. so very impressed and will be back.

3.6 is way too low of a rating. the food was absolutely amazing. we got a couple of dishes to share and the top three dishes for all of us (albeit in different orders) were 1. signature chillichicken2. empanadas (came with the most beautiful tomato sauce i have ever had) and 3. middle eastern salad. when we were done it looked like the plates were licked clean. the price is a little pricey but we used the entertainment card and it was okay.

absolute joke! went for valentine's day they had a set menu for $120pp. for this price i expected amazing food and service. what we got was embarrassing they had 3 out of 4 dishes to share even though the menu stated the first dish was shared. we also had to wait nearly an hour between 2nd and 3rd course the waitresses seemed too busy standing behind the counter. if we are paying per person we should get our own dishes. they clearly did it to cut on portion size and to save money. food tasted ok nothing to rave about. entree was dry prawns, second was kingfish seviche i liked but so small, 3rd course was 1chickenthigh to share between 2 ppl likechickenis expensive and hard to come by, main we got about 1/3 a duck breast each amongst salad and desert was a scoop of ice cream with berries. i left still hungry, very disappointed and ripped off! won't be visiting ever again and recommend others to do the same

this restaurant surely did not disappoint - impeccable service, lovely decor and most importantly (in my opinion) delicious food.

we ordered the meat platter for two and i have to say their meat platter exceeded our expectations in terms of portion size and taste. their signaturechickenwas to die for! it was succulent, flavoursome, and had a great spicy kick to it. personally, i would return just to have achickendish on its own.

will be returning..once my wallet permits it!

went there on a sunday night, it was cold and windy outside but the restaurant attendant welcomed us well and made us felt warm :)
we were suggested to share one entree, maybe he wanted us to save room for the dessert, we had the confit garlic with bread on side, very yum and not sth i would spend time making at home, we enjoyed a lot.
they also have a range of good sa wines, some labels that r not seen in other places, such as tscharke, one of my favorite winery.
had the signature chillichickenand steak for main, chillichickenis spicy, but i'm an asian so i for sure enjoyed it hahah, my partner enjoyed the beef as well.
ordered a sorbet kind of dessert to share coz the main were really filling and also a shot of i forgot what the name liquor, interesting.
i asked they will be changing a winter menu soon, so for sure i will be back maybe with a group of friends to try it out :)

this was the location for a special occasion and the quailty of the food matched the day. the eye fillet steak was mouth watering and tender. it had a great pepper taste and went down a treat. the chillichickenwas cooked to perfection and a pleasure to devour. the starters were great a freshness and flavour. to finish the hazelnut ciger had something in it that reminded me a christmas. if you like your charcoal cooked food you need to try this place!

charcoal taste sensation. we will always remember this wedding anniversary having dined at hoosegow. we had very high expectations from reading reviews, and because the prices are a bit higher than we would normally pay. we were not disappointed with our expectations being exceeded in every way, and it was worth every cent we paid!

we shared the open field mushrooms main as an entree, which was a generous serving & super delicious, especially the balsamic reduction. have to get the recipe for that one! we also shared our mains of hoosegow signature chillichicken& ribeye with fat chips, & a side salad of roasted beetroot & rocket. all delicious and a food experience that we have been searching for over many years, especially because of our love of charcoaled food but lack of charcoal restaurants in adelaide.

the service was fantastic & we were made to feel very welcome by staff & the owner. it was like being welcomed into someone's home.

a fantastic food experience & highly recommended! can't wait to try the other dishes on the menu! welcome hoosegow to st. morris!!!

tasty chargrilling!. indoor and outdoor feel to this place, dark interior, metal and concrete theme front bar seems fun, dining area a bit more cavernous..

dishes we ordered:
eggplant rolls with salsa filling; prawns on spicy salsa; $99 shared meat plate (eye fillet steak, pork rib, chorizo sausage, chillichickenand lamb backstrap, plus roasted potatoes (duck fat); pear tarte tatin.

tasty food for sure. spicy salsa was the same for both eggplant and prawn dishes so flavour was similar but still enjoyed.
staff are very keen to ensure you are happy with everything. at first i thought the $99 shared meat dish was a bit steep, but when you break it down......i guess the value is achieved.
extra sides ordered of broccoli and another lettuce/beetroot - both good @ $12 per side

go the pear tart for dessert......very good.
good wine modern up to date list...tscharke touriga complemented the dishes (spicy tempranillo style)

yep, will return and that is a good thing :):):)

love the meat!. if you are a meat lover this is the place for you! loved everything about it. the fat chips rock! the house special is thechickena must try! highly recomend it.

mr t. to be honest a little bit disappointed. dined here on a friday night with some friends and found the service to be exceptional, although a little on the slow side particularly with drinks. were disappointed in the minimal variety of entrees available on the night in particular the lack of quail and the pumpkin bread that was just horrible. finally the mains arrived, 4 of the 6 ordered the rib eye steak and while they looked great were a little overcooked and lacked flavour. the final two ordered the meat platter which had some nice flavours but thechickenwas a little on the rare side. overall given we had spent close to $100 per head here for a meal we were all in agreeance that we were disappointed and probably wouldn't return.

awesome food!!. we had dinner here the other night and the food and service were excellent. entrees were delicious but small portions for the price you pay ($23 for 2 prawns??) but the mains were amazing. meat platter has eye fillet, chorizo, lamb backstrap, huge pork belly ribs that fall apart they are that tender and big portions of chillichickenall with duck fat potatoes. couldn't fault anything on the night definitely worth going if you havent yet.
