5/5 all round

I’ve been here many times and never been disappointed. Extra praise to these guys because I’ve noticed that their prices have stayed the same and they’re giving MORE food in the plate.

I came here with my family of 6 for my birthday and it was a fantastic experience. We ordered so much food and there wasn’t one person who wasn’t satisfied with their meal. The meat is tender and full of flavour, the mash is unreal (I don’t even like mash but I wiped my plate clean), the slaw and pickles were a nice addition. My favourite thing was definitely the dry aged cheeseburger - probably the best burger I’ve ever had. The staff were attentive and helpful and I couldn’t have asked for better food to eat while celebrating with my family. This place deserves all the 5 stars.

We went on a Friday night and it was either 9pm booking or 6pm. We went at 6 and the place wasnt so busy just yet. Service was super quick and friendly.

Ordered a shot with pickle juice chaser, was just interesting how it taste and it was.. interesting, didnt regret trying tho lol The peach or lychee cocktail is more like my drink but very strong..

Food we ordered - Fried cauliflower, meat doughnut, loaded fries, lamb ribs and pork belly. My favourite is definitely the pork belly, so tender and the potato mash, wow! Other dishes are all amazing as well! Also tried both dessert and they were beautiful! Definitely worth the drive there!

Had a Valentine dinner here. I definitely enjoyed the fried cauliflower and give that a full score . They have a good selection of drinks. Steak portion is great and the pickles and mash potatoes are lovely . No question on quality of food and staff. Why did I give 4?
You expect more from this price range, although most fancy restaurants don’t ask anymore about how well you want the steak, I still care about this so they should ask. Next is not having any mustard or Dijon sauce or in general anything other than the default plate menu. Finally , the rump steak was salty. Will I come again ? I think I will :).

I love this place. So much good food and drinks selection. Although I would like to see a larger vegetarian option. There's a couple which are nice. The sides are to die for!! And the staff are heaps friendly. Would definitely go back. Also pretty good for groups and right next to the team stop. Perfect!

Dexter is a very famous restaurant in Melbourne serving American BBQ style food. We went on a weekday for lunch during our most recent visit. 

The one thing you must try at Dexter are their Hot Meat Donuts! This is what they’re known for. It’s an innovative take on a donut - a light fluffy dough filled with smoked brisket, and rolled in sugar and paprika. A delightful balance of sweet and savoury! I love that the filling is real brisket, and not just ground up meat, which adds nice texture and flavour. Delicious!

The Korean Fried Cauliflower is also one of my favourite dishes here. Super crispy and addictive, especially paired with the sesame sauce.

Of all the meats, the highlights was the Caramel Short Rib - fall off the bone tender and juicy, and super flavourful. 

If you’re a meat-lover, Dexter is definitely a place you’ll want to visit.

Visited Dexter over the weekend and was not disappointed! Been here once before and the food and service were on point. We ordered the Hot Meat Donuts (of course), Korean Fried Cauliflower (so delicious!) and the Wagyu steak which was super tender and full of flavour.

Food came out extra quick this time around and was also welcomed with a little glass of champagne as this was a special night for us! Thank you to the amazing staff! We'll be back.

The only disappointing thing is the lighting for the photos of these absolutely phenomenal dishes.
The steak was cooked perfectly, mash was smooth and creamy, the leaks were slightly on the salty side but were a welcome addition.
The hot meat donuts were unique, surprisingly had a sugared batter like a donut still however the pairing of sweet and savory actually worked well.
Favourite dish was definitely the beef tartare, would recommend!

WOW! Tastiest food I've had in a long time. Everything was executed on point from our drinks (beer and barrel aged negroni), our food (caramel short ribs, aged cheeseburger and fries) to the friendliest service from the team. The little touches that just delivered such tasty food is remarkable... for example the slightly charred bread and the jus with the mash.... AMAZING! Will be back!

Meats, buns and booze. A dynamic trio. I absolutely love the meat plates from Dexter. They're flavourful and melt in your mouth worthy. I especially love their bone marrow mash - I only wish there's more of it on the main plate. Will have to order a side of mash next time! I always gravitate towards the brisket because it just hits all the right spots. The short ribs was sooooo drool worthy. Very fatty and melt in your mouth. Steaks are cooked to perfection (medium rare).

Been wanting to come here for a long time and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The lamb rib portion size was larger than expected for an entree and the meat was soft and off the bone. We ordered a main meat dish each which was too much and took most of our pork belly home. Will definitely come again.

Had the donut meat balls. They are super delicious and highly recommended. Had the sorbet with jelly, which I wasn't very impressed with. The jelly texture is a bit too solid for my liking. The broccolini and the 30 day dry aged rib eye is alright, not my thing as well. The Hot smoked lamb rib chimichuri was amazing. The waitress allows us to order half the dish. The drink was great too. Orange spits

Amazing service and food this place has to offer. Loved the sweet and sour cauliflower with miso ranch. There was a nice crisp on the glaze and the flavours were great. The meat plates - we tried the caramel short rib and o'connors striploin steak where the meats were so tender. The dish was quite filling and paired well with the sides the dish came with. I'd recommend trying their hot meat donuts - crispy with a sweet yet spicy taste.

Fantastic all round experience with great food and service. A really consistent establishment that is still one of the big restaurants to dine in the north side. Meat donuts are a must but everything we had was delicious.

Punchy, bright, complex food flavours. Simply delicious. Great food, friendly attentive service, pleasant ambience. The lamb ribs with chimichurri sauce really kicked things off with a bang. Crusty, tender and moist. I really like the use of coriander seeds in the pork belly dish. Biting into a seed gives a little explosion of flavour, so so good! Do not let them take away your dish until you've mopped the sauce up with your bread! 😀 The lettuce salad, omg, super fresh with a dill dressing.

One of the wonderful places to have range selection of meat, if you are really into grilled meat or steak. Tried both the beef loin, beef ribs, pork belly, and they were both beyond our expectations, at least mine. Don’t forget to get the meat doughnut to “prepare” yourself for the mains!

Really great ambience and even better food! We were rolling out of the restaurant by the time we finished. I think the quality of the food was worth the price and they had some desserts which were delicious as well 😋
