Me and 2 of my friends went to Hunter and barrel to celebrate a 23rd birthday. We thought we knew what we were getting into with our expectations due to it being a fancy restaurant. However our expectations were blown out of the water! The food, atmosphere and service was amazing. We decided to get an entree board which has the most flavourful duck sausage roll with such an amazing flaky pastry, the least stringy calamari I have ever tasted and whatever recipe they used for the seasoning needs to be kept in a vault! That was the entree and my gosh when we got to the mains it was even better! I got a wagyu rump steak and my friends got a behemoth t bone 1.1kg steak! Both steaks came with a divine glaze which coated your mouth with an extremely sweet flavour, just before biting into the deep, savoury and amazingly tender meat. I would say the only downside of the steaks is that we asked for the T-bone to be medium rare, and it was served rare. This was understandable though, as it’s a very large piece of meat and it’s hard to get the right temperature, especially on the grill. The sauces we had with the steaks with mushroom and a pepper sauce and I would definitely go for the pepper sauce again instead of the mushroom. However, both were good On our table, we had a amazingly nice waitress, who was very attentive, but slightly nervous. She said that she was new when she greeted us at our table which is extremely understandable and she did a great job Overall, I would say the price which we paid is very fair, and I will be back again. 9.5 out of 10 (Visited 11/8/23)

A fantastic experience being back at H&B again after a long while. We had the Fried Buttermilk Calamari which was tender and crispy; Prawn Tacos which were refreshing; and a 700gm T-bone Steak, that my wife and I shared - it was cooked to perfection and bursting with amazing flavours of the South African basting. Had the Chocolate S'More to finish off as dessert and it was delectable. My wife also had a Cosmo, which she said was one of the better ones she's had in a long while. The young lady, Chanel, who served us was lovely, sincere and regularly checking with us if we needed anything. And kudos to her for handling the senior ladies who sat down at the table next to us and asked her over a dozen questions about allergen concerns, which she responded to quite professionally with a positive demeanour, but they ended up leaving frustrated, as one of the ladies had concerns about an ingredient which, unfortunately for her, is basically used in almost every marinade. To those with allergy concerns, it'd be best to call before hand or at least check with the Maitre'd at the front door about it before sitting down at the table. Again, great menu choices, lovely staff and beautifully cooked food. An amazing way to have lunch on a Saturday Afternoon!

Recommend checking with the Maitre'd or call through before hand to make sure you can consume the foods on offer as I witnessed a table of women leaving as a very common ingredient derailed their dinning experience.

Service: The service was good. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Service was quick and accurate. Due to being our anniversary, they were kind enough to leave a Happy Anniversary sign on our table. Atmosphere: The place was cozy and well decorated with nice music. We sat upstairs and had a good view of the kitchen. Food: My husband and I were excited to go there for the first time to celebrate our anniversary but we left disappointed. The ribs were good but nothing special. You can get similar ribs in many pubs for a cheaper price. The beef skewer was our favorite dish of the night, however we asked for it to be cooked medium and it came well done. The display of the skewer was beautifully setup. Both dishes were accompanied by chips which were average. We also ordered a garlic butter which had very little garlic flavor and strong lemon flavor. We ordered the s'mores brownie for dessert. The brownie itself was nice and was accompanied by a very nice peanut ice cream and a little bit of dulce de leche. However, the marshmallow on top was overdone and burnt and it had an awful burnt taste.

Went here to use some of The Fork points. The staff were friendly although not necessarily helpful. Their non alcoholic drink I had was the best one I have had for a mocktail. It has lychee on top and I can’t exactly tell the flavour but it was super nice and distinct. Tried their grilled pork belly as we saw the grilled stuff came in amazing appearance (hung upside down above chips), beef tacos and grilled brussel sprouts. We had to say it was way too much foods for us. Staff said the grilled pork is just for 1 person portion but no way it is, it is way too much meat and chips for 1. We couldnt have not ordered the tacos if not because what the staff said. Anyway, all the foods cooked beautifully and sauces are amazing even the one on brussel sprouts. Can’t fault the food and flavour. What’s annoying though also we saw in our receipt that they charge $3 for the aioli sauce we asked. If it’s a fast food restaurant, that’s understandable. But for a rather expensive restaurant, that is just really petty. So overall great food, but be prepared to pay a lot.

We really enjoyed the food and service. Staff were friendly, attentive and sincere. The dining room had a cosy and classy feel leaving everyone cheerful and able to relax. The meals were delicious. Simple but well executed. Steaks were cooked perfectly, chips, chicken wings, calamari tacos too. Chicken was a little pink but cooked. Salads were sizable and good. House wine was alright. Debortolli Shiraz. We had a slight mixed up drink order. Only small- pineapple does look like orange juice. But that was minor. For me, the highlight was the delectable desserts. Baked cheesecake with chantilly cream and a blueberry compote. Devoured the cake, and the cream was crazy delicious. Light and creamy like a marshmallow- not too sweet. Sorbets were excellent too. With so little elements for each dish, there was no where to hide. So they really stood out by allowing each element to shine. I definitely would recommend this restaurant to anyone. A big thank you for making my dad's birthday a pleasant and memorable day!!

Ate there last night and had the full rack of pork baby back ribs which were really nice. They were cook to perfection, had a BBQ glaze and were also finished off on the grill which left a nice smoked flavour. My Wife had the lamb chop which she loved. It was cooked medium and was a decent size with and nice array of chargrilled veggies. Both meals were a great size leaving us full. Unfortunately we only booked 2 days ago so we were sat next to the door which is also next to the front of house desk, so if you want to go book early, it gets quite busy here! Nice place. Would recommend to all meat lovers

We went for dinner on Tuesday night and ordered Feast banquet for two and some extra dishes. The entree bread was delicious but chicken wings were quite salty. For main, we had mushroom stew which was considered very expensive for the size, ordered truffle potatoes, not worth the money, ordered beef brisket with 3 pieces only. Also the banquet had a plate with chicken, sausage , pork ribs and steak. I would recommend to go for the banquet. Waitress was very friendly and attentive, with a big smile on her face.

"We will be back!" This is my opening words. Service & Ambience [4.5] We made reservation as we want to ensure we get a table. Friendly staff throughout the service. Ambience is nice and cosy and we could see the kitchen staff in actions. Food [5] Yes delicious! We love the food here. Look at the pictures and we had enjoyed every food we ordered. The meats are juicy and grilled perfectly wellm. We missed the desert and perhaps some other great food, hence we will definitely be back.

I’ve always know this place as a fine dinning spot from Dubai & knowing it originates in Australia so had to check out the original spot! We’re tried various main dishes including - Beef Brisket - Burger - Chicken Strips - Hot Dogs - Skewers - Steak - Provolone melted cheese. Most of the dishes were so flavourful n cooked so well. Personally I haven’t enjoyed my steak much as it was burnt! Nothing I would’ve expected from a place like this!!! But other than that food was great n everyone enjoyed it!

The quality of service here is always impeccable Staff are so professional, well presented and friendly. This time I went for the Cheese Kransky main dish and it was yummy. I love that it comes with mustard on the side. The texture of the mash is creamy and smooth. All the flavours go very well together and it is so filling! I personally like when there is a hint of sweetness in my savoury meals and the beer braised beans brought that element. I enjoyed my beer as well.

My partner had the $87 Tbone however he said it was bit flavourless.. the duck fat potatoes were a no, bit on the dry side. we also had the calamari and the cheese bread and they are to die for!!! I would personally go back there anytime!

Visited this place for dinner. Service was great—the staff who attended to us was very accommodating. We had steak and baby back pork ribs which we both enjoyed. Salad was also fresh. Their cheesecake for dessert was lovely. Will definitely come back here again.

I liked our meal the reason that I added 4 star is, I asked the Stake to be in medium level but it was almost rare. The other meal was tasty. Also, the cocktail that we had was not very professional.

First timers, & wow such a vibe! The food was 10/10 asked for medium rare , got medium rare, very nicely executed. Oh and on another note, the side salad that you can choose from instead of chips.. you guys be doing the most! It’s not just

We had a mixed experience at Hunter & Barrel. Upon entering we were greeted by a staff member who didn't really care about us waiting there while she did nothing. Our waitress was really good for most of the evening until we got the bill.

I attended here for blokes Xmas dinner. You’ll probably end up spending $100 each. The good things - amazing venue, atmosphere and vibes. classy and casual. Service was great - nil issues there. Drinks list was great and good to see their

Dined for dinner. We shared the crispy prawn tacos for entree, I had the double lamb chop & hubby had an eye fillet steak for main & I also enjoyed a margarita cocktail. All the food was well presented & tasty but expensive. You pay top

The Wagyu was delicious, crispy chips, delicious sauce and an awesome s'more for dessert. However I would have definitely preferred heavier seasoning on the steak itself, cracked pepper and salt flakes can go a long way (as I wasn't

One of my favourite spots to take friends and clients for a nice lunch or dinner, delivering a great experience from the gorgeous venue, attentive and friendly staff and management and the variety of high quality dishes on offer.

Great restaurant to get your meat fix. Beef Ribs are a Must. The H&B Glaze is finger licking good. Staff were friendly & attentive & atmosphere is relaxed. Happy to have it as a local. Yum! More

Had a pre flight and Christmas meal here. Great attentive service with good food. Seemed to rush you through your courses but was still a great meal with drinks and wine on the way quickly.

Recently we visited the Hunter and Barrel for a business dinner. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and noted that it was some of the best food they've had!
