Review Bluebonnet Barbecue - Collingwood

Given that Bluebonnet is in our top 3 favourite restaurants, there was no hesitation in requesting Mabel be at our wedding. Several lockdowns and reschedules later, Chris was eager to meet with us and honour all previous plans. By the time the day arrived, it was like having a friend cater for us. Chris thrived with every challenge and bizarre aesthetic request we threw at them, from the steep dirt tracks and cold cast iron trays we provided, they went above and beyond and made it all work. Bluebonnet stood out as a feature of our event with a 'meat ceremony' presented in our Viking hall. And the food! It was glorious! Beef brisket, lamb and pork belly, as well as the smoked jackfruit absolutely blew our guests away. Our veg and vegan friends were catered for (though some were seduced by the meat.. and tried it..). The vegetarian options were also sought after by all. Everything was simply delicious! We aim to relive this experience for the rest of our lives!

Easily the best American smokehouse meal I've had in Australia. The brisket and sausage were just brilliant. Smokey, perfectly cooked and very nicely seasoned. The BBQ sauce that's in the glass bottles on the table goes very well. Run by a really nice crew as well. Can't go wrong. I will be back for sure!!

Excellent food. Great value (we got the set menu). Staff were very friendly - especially the one who chatted to us about the smoker out the back and about his kettle bbq. Would definitely come back!

Fast friendly service. Big venue, ample room for large gatherings. Menu is great and the quality of food is top notch. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Won't disappoint.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and outstanding service! Exceeded every expectation - can not wait to dine here again. We chose the ‘feed me’ option as it was I our first time here. I will order this again!

Hands down the best restaurant I've ever been too, Not only is the food unbelievable with lots of variety and the mouth melting flavours but the staff are the kindest, most thoughtful folk I have ever encountered! They helped me navigate the menu options and made me the best cocktail, exactly what I've been craving for so long! Huge shout out to Mikey the manager he really looked after me. I'll be coming back for more, couldn't give higher praise!

Couldn’t be more happy with the food and service! We came in for a birthday dinner and order the all you can eat option - my god I didn’t not expect the portions to be that HUGE! All the food was delicious, especially the beef brisket and pork belly. Was served by Ben and Mike - both super lovey and helpful. Will definitely be back :)

Overall a pleasant experience. We had the feed me platter for 4. The starters were disappointing apart from the brisket croqueta. The mains were very nice. Particularly the chicken that was really spot on and the ribs. The deserts were very nice also. It seems that the staff were in a low mood but that's understandable, covid is taking the enthusiasm from many of us. But overall a lovely meal. Good work guys.
