Meatworks Co

Meatworks Co in South Melbourne is your go-to for good times over smoked, tender meat.

Born from a trip to Spain back in the ’90s, this spot blends global flavours, smoky cooking methods, and rotating daily specials. Rock up early, grab your table, and prepare to get a little messy… in the best, tastiest way possible.

The menu keeps things simple but never boring. It’s all about classic BBQ done right, starting with small plates. Think panko-crumbed prawns ready for dipping in sriracha mayo, crispy fried squid with smoky mayo, and potato buns filled with smoked meat and oozing with cheese.

For mains, it’s pure Texan. Four-hour smoked sausages are chargrilled to perfection, while the pulled pork shoulder is infused with apple cider vinegar, coated in sticky BBQ sauce, and smoked for a massive 24 hours. There are also BBQ pork ribs, drool-worthy wagyu brisket, wings, and whatever else they’ve been firing up in the smoker that week.

Big flavours, smoky goodness, and meat that melts in your mouth, Meatworks Co knows how to do BBQ right.
