About Us

Since 2015, MeatworksCo has been redefining the art of barbecue in Melbourne — blending contemporary style with the timeless craft of slow cooking over flame. Every cut of meat is carefully smoked, roasted, or braised to perfection by a team of passionate pit masters and chefs who live and breathe flavour.

Our converted 1930s motor garage sets the scene — raw steel, warm timber, and a touch of industrial soul — the perfect backdrop for everything from long lunches to family gatherings, business dinners, and celebrations that stretch into the night.

Born From Fire, Built on Craft

We don’t chase trends; we chase flavour. The kind earned by patience, heat, and respect for the animal. Our journey didn’t start in a boardroom — it began around smokers, butcher blocks and long nights learning what real barbecue demands.

We work with people who care as deeply as we do — producers who raise with intention, butchers who still honour the old ways, and cooks who don’t flinch at a 4am fire-up. Every cut that reaches your plate has been coaxed, smoked, and nurtured with a simple philosophy: let the meat speak, let the smoke finish the sentence.

See the Smoke, Smell the Fire

At MeatworksCo, we don’t hide the magic — you can see straight into our kitchen as our pit masters work the flames. Our menu celebrates the craft of traditional smokehouse cooking, with a nod to the old-school butcher shop. From our 14-hour smoked Wagyu Beef Rib to signature pork ribs, brisket, and flame-grilled favourites, every dish tells a story of patience, fire, and flavour.

Our Story

Since 2015

What began as a small neighbourhood smokehouse has grown into one of Melbourne’s most loved BBQ destinations.

The Food

Every recipe at MeatworksCo is built on time, smoke, and tradition — perfected over the years by those who believe good food should be slow, simple, and shared.

Quality

We use only the finest produce, the best cuts, and our signature low-and-slow techniques to create meals that are honest, hearty, and unforgettable.

Behind every cut is a team that lives for the heat, the smoke, and the satisfaction of getting it just right.
