5 stars for the lamb ribs! Everything else average
What a feed! This is the ultimate bbq experience. Very Southern American vibe, even our waitress was American.
Portions were huge, we got the mixed plate of meats which I highlely recommend. The mac and cheese is the best in Aus and the sweet potato corn break is to die for!
Great atmosphere, worth going for a fun dinner out.
Guess what, found the crispiest fried chicken tenders in a bbq smoked house of all places. Yes thats right! Perfectly crumbed chicken marinated in buttermilk then deep fried was anything but delicious!
As for the bbq meats, my mate and I had the chef selection which made up of chicken, beef brisket, pulled pork and sausages. Our favourite was the chicken and sausage. Brisket and pulled pork was a tad dry for our liking. Perhaps by the time we chow down the brisket and pork the meat might have got a little cold. In saying so, it was still enjoyable and definitely a plate that overfed us.
One more thing these guys serves some mean cocktails We had hurricane which was surprisingly went really well with the meat considering that we change it up a little bit from the usual ales or beers to wash the meal down. Definitely worth it.
Best grill meat I’ve had in Melbourne
I absolutely loved lunch today! We celebrated a colleagues birthday and were quick to be stead in a dining room with lots of character! The salad I had was absolutely divine and was exactly as described as “the kitchen sink”! It was full of flavour and the chipotle dressing with the crunch of tortillas was just phenomenal
The dish was the Kitchen Sink Salad with Blackened Market Fish (mixed leaves and iceberg lettuce, red capsicum, cucumber, cherry tomato, cheddar, white onion, toasted pepitas, crispy corn tortilla chips & chipotle ranch)
I visited Le Bon Ton with friends who raved about their fried chicken, amongst other items... well, they were right to!
The chicken, brisket and just about everything else we tried were fantastic. Left both full and happy.
Nice southern American style chicken - mouthwatering flavours. Love the pub feel to it too. Good service. Nice place for a casual weekend dinner with friends.

Having just come back from America, Le Bon Tom has plenty to live up to. They only do a 2 hour sitting but on Friday it was busy without being overly so.
First impressions was the beer list; they had two rotating taps one is supposed to be Stone and the other another American beer. On this occasion both were from Stone; having just been to the brewery I was not complaining. They had the Tropic of Thunder Lager and Tangerine Express IPA; had them both over there, had them both here!
The food was nice; I really enjoyed the quesadillas and the lamb ribs is an absolute signature item. Their servings are quite big so it would have been good to have enough appetite to eat more! The mac and cheese was good without being spectacular; it was a little dry rather than super creamy.
We are lucky to have some really good American BBQ restaurants close together; and the prices are comparable to the US (after tax and tip over there) Compared with the Gem, Le Bon Ton has American craft beer which really completes the experience. This is definitely on the come back again list (although not too frequently - don't want to turn into a fat American).
Loved the atmosphere, very busy on a Saturday night! We needed to book a table and couldn’t get one until after 8pm.
Staff were attentive and super polite.
Meals came out quickly.
We ordered the loaded fries, sweet potato corn bread, pork belly and brisket sandwich. Everything was delicious and has a little kick to it! Loved the sweet potato corn bread that was complimented well with the honey butter 🤤 I wouldn’t get the brisket sandwich again but it was still delicious and the loaded fries perfect.
For dessert I had the peanut butter pie with vanilla ice cream and it was phenomenal!
Will definitely be going back again 🙂
Don’t be fooled by the name sounding French - this place is an amazing Deep South slow cooked bbq meat venue!
We considered the set menu but luckily the waitress warned us we’d have to be REALLY hungry! Instead, we didn’t quite get through a meat platter (The smokers lot) and two sides. The meat was divine, the beetroot salad is a must and the chips- well, it wouldn’t have been complete without some!
Great surrounds, great food, great service... a treat to be enjoyed on a special occasion... overall we spent just over $100 for dinner and three drinks... so not bad value either!
Amazing food. Burnt ends and Mac and cheese are my favourites. We tried almost everything from their menu over time and we never left unsatisfied. Friendly staff and atmosphere.
We come to Le Bon Ton quite often because of their amazing food and relaxed vibe. We are obsessed with their brisket, but on our latest visit we decided to try their sandwiches. They were as amazing as their BBQ meats. Would highly recommend to try it. Thanks
Excellent service! Amazing food! The beef brisket is tender and juicy. The fries are crispy and delicious. And the summer grain salad is simply magical!
Been to a few American Style bbq places but this one takes the cake!
Ordered the Platter, lamb ribs (to die for highly recommend) chips and potato salad was definitely enough for 2!
Got 2 cheeky cocktails aswell
Each dish was amazing, staff were friendly and service was quick.
We did go for lunch at 2

📍Le Bon Ton, Collingwood
@lebontonmelb my first American-style BBQ in Melbourne!
I am not too familiar with American BBQ but after reading all the reviews, I was excited to try this place out. Between the 4 of us, we ordered Beef Brisket, Crispy Lamb Ribs, Housemade Sausages, Chili Cheese Fries, Grilled Brussels Sprout.
Overall, decent value for the quality of the meat. All the meat came out tender and juicy. But I gatta say, my personal favourite was Lamb Ribs - easily, the best one out of all in terms of portion size and quality. They were super juicy and tasty particularly with their wonderful crispy skin. Would 100% get multiple servings of those next time instead.
