The Wall
of Wins.

Every plaque on this wall was earned the slow way — a full night of red gum smoke at a time. Voted by the people who eat here, judged by the people who know.

Readers’ Choice
Award 2026

The Australian Good Food Guide has spent fifty years asking diners where they actually eat. For 2026 they named TBBQ a Readers’ Choice winner — no judging panel, no entry fee, just the people who queue on Brunswick Street.

Same brisket, same red gum, same 10-hour nights. Someone just wrote it down.

The real judging
happens at the table

Awards are nice. A tray of brisket, ribs and burnt ends in front of you is nicer. Come cast your vote.
