If u love ribs you'll love Bluesmoke. They serve the best smoked pork ribs that you'll ever have. Another must try are the buffalo wings with the blue cheese dipping sauce. Make sure to book early for a sat night as they are always busy. More

One of our favourite locals. The pork belly, the ribs and the pulled pork are all to die for. More

Went there for dinner last week and it was quite nice. The food is very american, lots of ribs, buffalo wings, steak, etc. We ordered the wings in 2 versions the buffalo wings traditional and the honey soy, both tasty. They serve corn bread and a honey flavour butter complimentary. For the main we shared to mixed platters, one with... More

I visited the restaurant with my American husband and some friends. The buffalo wings were about the best thing on the menu as the Texas beef ribs were dried out with very little meat on them and the pork belly was sliced so thin it might have been bacon. All that aside, what shocked me the most was after taking... More

I have never tasted ribs as good as these. You have to make a reservation as it always seems to be booked out. More

Felt like I was eating for Australia. So much great food on the menu and so little time to try it all. I took 9 friends/colleagues and they were all impressed. Staff were pleasant and offered good table service. Wine List was extensive. Very easy to overeat. We'll be back. More

The restaurant... More

You'll get better ribs at Ribbetts at a much better price if you are prepared to put up with their crappy service. Staff have their noses up their proverbial butts as well. More
