Delicious food, amazing staff, actual life savers
If you’re looking for American style BBQ then the Oxford Tavern will be your place! The meat is tender and moist, slow cooked to perfection! Ranging from pork belly, beef brisket and chicken wings, it’s absolutely flavoursome! The best part is that the pub provides board games so your friends will be entertained for hours! Good ol’ American BBQ at a reasonable price at the Oxford!
Black betty servers authentic American BBQ which is slow roasted unlike any sort of Aussie style BBQ. You generally get slow roasted beef ribs/briskets or pulled pork. They server in thick slices, packing in a good bite of meat without the meat being too tough to chew on. Cost works by per 100grams. We got 100g of both the beef ribs and pork belly. Orders come with a side of slaw, we were also given some burnt sides (great for drinking) and corn bread as well!
The pork belly we had was amazing. Super tender and soft in the inside with a smoked and crispy surrounding giving it great texture. Short ribs was alright, more towards the salty crispy side, great for a beer.
They open on Fridays and weekends only, so make sure you've checked their open times on their website. Beef brisket was not served on the Friday I went, I asked and apparently its saved for Saturday and Sunday. There are not too many American style BBQ's in Sydney to choose from, Black betty is great for those who are sick of the usual ribs you get from hurricanes and want to try meat cooked differently.
Pros : Good authentic American BBQ. Great to cure that crave after seeing videos or photos on FB about franklin's from the US (Usually requires 4 hours wait!)
Con : Food was towards the salty side.
Must get : Pork belly
