Explore Third Wave BBQ
Melbourne and Perth's American BBQ smokehouse. Six restaurants, one menu.
American BBQ, smoked low and slow
Third Wave BBQ is an Australian American-BBQ smokehouse. Beef brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, pulled pork, lamb shoulder, chicken and wings are smoked low and slow and served with sides, or piled into burgers, loaded fries and share platters like the BBQ Platter of Doom. Gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan dishes are marked on the menu, there is a kids menu, and the menu is the same at every venue with new monthly specials.

All-you-can-eat BBQ Tuesdays
Every Tuesday from 5:30pm is All You Can Eat BBQ: BBQ Base Camp ($69), Carnivore Mode ($93) or BBQ Royalty ($119) a head. The whole table orders it, more meat comes out until you say stop, and a $59 bottomless drinks package is available at most venues.
The original BBQ Thor's Hammer
Third Wave BBQ created the BBQ Thor's Hammer and coined the name: a whole beef shin, marinated for 24 hours, rubbed in spices and smoked for over 12 hours until it falls apart, served standing over smoky bacon Mac & Cheese with bear claws to shred it. It weighs over 3 kg, feeds four to five, and is on the menu at every venue, first come first served while it lasts each service.
Functions, BBQ catering and delivery Australia-wide
Every venue hosts birthdays, work dinners and Christmas parties, with set menus priced per head so groups can book without fuss. For events away from the restaurant, Third Wave caters slow-smoked American BBQ and burgers across Melbourne, delivered hot and ready to serve, including corporate and office catering, and its sister brands cover souvlaki (Skordo), Mexican (Cuate), kebabs (Meat Pit), toasties (Chubs Toasties) and bowls (Munch Bowl). At home, order delivery from your nearest venue, or have slow-smoked meat packs shipped across Australia in cold-sealed packaging. Digital gift vouchers are available online, and Third Wave franchises in Australia and the United States.
