Some corny aussie stuff in the bar, they give you aussie stubby holders. I went there mainly the see the AFL. Was happy with the food, good prawns, avoid the deep fried stuff, a bit overdone. Good chef and presentation of the seafood, but I'd avoid the 'aussie' stuff. No BBQ, or grill, all done on hotplates, and flamed to... More

Upon arriving in KK we decided to try the Aussie BBQ restaurant on our first night. Its in a great location on the waterfront next to Shamrocks Irish Bar. The western menu was extensive and the food Ok but nothing to write home about. The service was good with the waitress ordering me a draft beer from the adjoinging Irish... More

As we drove into town, I saw the Aussie BBQ and exclaimed I would not be going there in Malaysia!! Well, we walked down to the waterfront and we were inexplicably drawn in there, and we are so glad we gave it a chance. The steaks are imported from Australia, and as we live in Bali, this was a real... More

We were excited to see a Australian restaurant in Asia and headed there after a few drinks somewhere else ( we should have stayed there) It was terrible the owners hold court in the back of the restaurant and just order the staff around!! Terrible! Average food! Credit should be given to the staff and service, I wouldn't work for... More

We were looking for a restaurant that had great seafood, but also offered meat for my carnivorous dad. The concierge sent us along to the Aussie BBQ. Coming from WA we thought it might be a case of 'coals to Newcastle', but that was before we set eyes on those gorgeous prawns! In fact everything was first rate. Great service,... More

Really nice team of staff headed up by the owner Doreen who IS Australian. Located on the Waterfront Boardwalk in Kota Kinabalu. Went there late afternoon on my own and in the evening with my fiancee. Excellent friendly service.
