red gum bbq

okay if you’re in the area. when we visited at lunch time the place was packed so we had to make a booking and come back as nobody would answer the phone. a bit pricey and nothing to exciting the meats were all cold and the pulled pork was dry. $110 for two adults and two kids.

to start with the interior of this place is amazing. simple rustic feel oozes relaxed vibes. we ordered the pulled pork, beef rib, chilli loaded fries and corn bread. they were all a real hit. the beef rib close to the bone was breathtaking, the outer of it was crusted in a mildly chilli seasoning. you really taste the smoked flavour in the meats. will go again and recommend our choices.

this place was recommended to me earlier this year. i have been here 4 or 5 times since then. it is a good place to go if you are looking for bbq and don’t want to break out your own webber.
can be noisy and there will always be plenty of kids kicking around to keep other diners amused.
depending on what is popular or selling well on the day will determine if your choice is available. the sausage has been sold out the last few times i have been there. good place to head to on a saturday night if you are planning on sitting round and chilling with a few frothy’s
long benches and mingling with carnivores alike make for an interesting time. don’t order the spicy buffalo wings if you have had surgery on your tongue and stitches inserted. this was the highlight of my last visit. the person in question could have been mistaken for having a heart attack....

everything about this place was 10/10! from the decor to the service to the food! even the kids area was great. not sure if it as planned to be like this but it was great that it was an area that kids could play in without running around screaming. food was quick, fresh and well-priced. will definitely be back!

exceptionally good american bbq. was seriously impressed by the food and fitout. being food snobs from melbourne, we give the peninsula a hard time, but this place really does it right ! other peninsula venues should look at this and take a few tips. people complaining about prices below are massively out of touch, they've probably never ventured past frankston maccas.
the meat fell off the bone, the corn bread was the best i've ever eaten. the servings were generous, and the bustling night time ambiance was great.
yes your sitting in a repurposed factory, yes the heating could be tweaked a little bit, yes there is a kids play corner (better that than them running around), but seriously, overall this place is pretty damn good, and as a former peninsula resident it makes me smile to see places like red gum that have put in the effort and really stepped it up a notch. definitely would return.

loved this family friendly food shed. loved the little kids corner as it kept the little ones busy while the adults ate. unfortunately the peninsula prices are always way to much for what your getting. i had cheaper bbq in the city and i'm sure there rent is more than a old shed. that being said the food was super tasty. loved the rib tips! service was also very friendly. should of been a 5 but lost one for being far too expensive.

this restaurant is an absolute rip off! we went there on sunday. there was 9 of us - 4 adults and 5 children. we spend $200 on food only! - which consisted of five very small pieces meats, all on 1 dinner plate, a small handful of spinach leaves which is called a "salad", 3 small bowls of shoestring chips ($8 each - absolute rip off) mac and cheese which tasted like it came out of a packet. we all left feeling hungry and went down the road to johnny ripe to fill our tummies! there are so many more places down the mornington peninsula that are much better value for money.

our group of seven for sunday lunch all agreed it was a disappointing experience. the only thing that saved this place from being terrible was the food. they really do the american bbq well. not sure what was worse the overall noise made worse from screaming kids as their play area is next to the tables and they were let to run around other guests tables screaming for the entire time we were there or that we nearly froze to death. inadequate heating and too much noise doesn't make for a very enjoyable afternoon. beer out of a jar might be trendy but was not a hit with the guys either. banana cream pie was delicious.

loved this place. very chilled out decor, huge shed but decked out in a trendy way. really american bbq - as in meat is cooked in a smoker. massive hits were the pickle (yep!), broccoli salad and mac n cheese. highlight was the chicken. can't believe it was sooooo succulent, it was absolutely amazing. chicken is normally boring but not this! brisket was good, but a bit dry for me, chilli beans were good and so was the cornbread. beer paddle and wine were good too! loved this place but it's no bookings and you would drive right past it as its next door to a petrol station. so different to everything else in red hill, you gotta try this place!

pleasant venue with friendly and helpful staff. i loved the rustic feel to the place. the food was very tasty. i'd definitely be returning until i've tried everything on the menu.

best bloody meat sweat that i've ever got!
pork ribs are sensational!
quick service! friendly staff! and basically all you want from a texan style saturday bbq!
you guys rock!
