Gorilla Smokers — Restaurant in Sydney

Finally dropping a review after a dozen visits I can confirm the food quality is consistent and always amazing.

Brisket and Beef ribs always a winner ( ribs always sell out so Pre-order to secure) The house made sauces are all amazing with the meats … winner is the green sauce for me. Price point is amazing when you actually compare it with other places serving same style bbq. Quantity serving size of food is perfect Finally the chef and young crew of staff always consistent and pumping away in getting your food timely.

Now if you made it this far … I have to say I feel sad when I saw people going out of their way to give 1 star reviews and saying food isn’t good etc…. I saw those reviews and got pretty mad as it’s the minority reflection of the majority of reviews … sometimes if you have nothing good to say best keep it to yourself… So I have to say a few things …

Please don’t come here trying to award a Michelin star or provide a review as Gordon Ramsay picking on every single side component “more acid… less this .. missing this and that…” rather just come and enjoy the food and ambience for what it is … a guy’s passion for his bbq smoked ribs and brisket that gave them the courage to set up a business to feed the family.

When you come with a humble mindset the food always taste better in life.

I highly recommend the loaded mac and cheese brisket fries as you get a warm spread of flavours from the sauces to the juicy fatty protein with the soft comfy mac n cheese on a bed of fries. ( no going back to ordinary HSP after this)

Saw a few reviews on Google saying food needs salt and mac n cheese was the worst not sure what that’s about …. My wife and I love their mac n cheese as it has a beautiful soft and mild flavour rather than a too rich of cheese whack in the face. The tacos are fire and their wings are juicy and light. Also the orders always taste better when you eat it there. Final thoughts to address another reviewers comments on wait times….Yes there may be a wait at times and that’s because you have to remember they get tonne of Uber orders as well.

Sometimes I wait 15mins sometimes I’ve waiting 35mins that’s life … I wouldn’t judge a business just because you want maccas wait times… And no I am not affiliated or paid reviewer just a local customer trying to support a small local business. So if you are not sure give these guys are go and you’ll enjoy a nice warm comfort meal with no regrets.

Peace out and...

Pretty good meat. Romy who reminded me of Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes definitely knows how to do good smoked beef alright and can be crowned Romy Ace of Smoke Beef! Ok. The food truck is pretty unassuming, its parked up behind Bankstown homemaker on Hoskins St. Drive too fast and you can miss their signage on the gate. There's parking on the street and seating. They open at 6pm but I was there early 5.55 and they were ready to go. Trying it for the first time we went all out, the brisket box and added 2 beef ribs! I highly recommend you get/add the beef with ribs with your brisket box. We had a total meat fest and meat sweats after.. It's all beef in different ways - shredded brisket, which I picked on and added in my mini brioche bun along with the coleslaw to make pulled beef slider. The marinade on this baby was uh-mazing. It was so good with the charred meat/marinade. Yum! Then there was the beef brisket slices which just melted in my mouth I had with the Mac&cheese. The beef ribs, well, hello mamma! it was delicious!! It was so soft and ahhh, just heaven. If you love meat I definitely recommend get The box if your first time, also came with beef sausages which was good too and the fried chicken Maryland. I had these for lunch the next day. I like the chips they were nice actually and the coleslaw which wasn't runny, or too sweet or tangy. The green sauce or the black sheep should be bottled and sold. I was seriously licking the small pot. It was that good. The only thing I suggest would be to char/bbq the corn or fry. I ate fried corn, that was at Grain in the Four Season 'Chili Lime Corn Ribs with coriander chipotle mayo' it was out of this world!!!! I definitely with no hesitation recommend Gorilla Smokers if you are craving good beef ribs or brisket. Get the brisket box it's great value that comes with all the sides. Remember to add the beef ribs with it. It's enough to feed the whole clan (4-6 people/kids). I give 5 stars because not only was it super good but it's great value. Hubby gives it 3 thumbs up and...

Terrible Experience. Was looking forward to some tasty meats and they did not deliver. We ordered the gorilla box, beef rib, loaded fries and 10 wings.

Gorilla box. The beef brisket was tender but very tasteless almost like regular roast beef, no taste of any smoke and the seasoning was very bland. The box has the worst chicken I have ever tasted from any restaurant or food truck. The chicken was not even smoked at all and had no seasoning or colour to the skin. It tasted as if it was boiled then put in the oven for 5 minutes. I expected very tasty chicken with a nice smoke and flavoured skin. The sausage was equally as disappointing as the chicken. No smoke or flavour at all and taste like a sausage they cooked up from Woolies.

Beef rib was very tender and looked very tasty. This was alright but nothing amazing, taste bland like the brisket.

The chicken wings we ordered were exactly the same as the chicken in the gorilla box. I ordered thinking I would get a proper piece of chicken in the gorilla box but I did not. So my comments for the previous chicken go for the wings also. Worst I have tasted in all of Sydney

The loaded Mac and cheese fries were by far the tastiest thing we ordered and is the only item I would actually recommend from their whole menu.

Very disappointing and ridiculous for the price we paid. I don't understand how the reviews...
