MEET REVIEWS

The most amazing experience oh my god the meat was amazing. We got the 75$ meal deal we got a choice of every meat try everything that’s there you’ll surprise yourself it was the most mouthwatering experience ever. We came out stuffed. Deffo be back next time we’re in Newcastle. And for the workers they were all so lovely and were always offering new food and meats to try. Always say yes!! 10/10 experience. Only downfall was I got a pino and it didn’t come in a wine glass.

Wow!! Such an amazing experience. Food was wonderful. The staff and service friendly and attentive. The atmosphere and surroundings was spot on. It was an experience that delighted all the sensors. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing. Only fault I had was when we were asked multiple times if we wanted something we never got it and then was ignored until we gave up and left. Food was sensational though!

TEXAS BAR-B-Q GRILL REVIEWS

Service was the best I have experienced in this country. The Ribeye on the bone was grilled to perfection and everything else on that plate for that matter. Compliments to the chef . Price is very reasonable for the service you get . This is by far my favourite place to eat out. No need to say “I will be back”

Omg sooo goood!! Second time there and both have been amazing! This time we order the plater for 2 and OMG is huge! Hahahah every cut of meat was cook to perfection! So juicy and full of flavour! 1000% recommended!! Texas Bar-B-Q grill is one of our favorites now! Great service to, everyone very friendly and helpful

Absolutely loved our meal! It was far too much even for two larger people, but the food was tasty. The meat was cooked perfectly, the staff absolutely amazing and so friendly! We will definitely be back

DOUBLEDUCK SMOKEHOUSE REVIEWS

Update to this review: I was able to go back to try the ribs. Great! So glad I could get back! I should have taken a picture of the super friendly staff, but if you go to their facebook page, I noticed that they are all there. Thank you for the great experience. I will be back!! This place is a hidden gem! Found this place during a business trip to Newcastle. The owner and staff are friendly, and the food is great. Brisket, ribs, wraps, burgers, meat pies, etc. I tried a brisket burger, pulled pork sandwich, and a gravy and brisket meat pie. They were all great! I should also mention that it is reasonable too! Check this place out!

This is so great, finally , I found my dream Brisket come true at Double Duck in Hamilton South, next to the BP Service Station. Everything you can eat with Beef Briscket is there, Burgers, Pizza, Pies and Super great Fries and even Grazing Plates and more, full of flavour and Generous amount of food for your dollar , absolutely Double Duck

Great food, the BBQ sauce was particularly good and solid smoke flovours as well. Do recommend.
