Love this place. Brilliant wings, a great assortment of American classics on the menu and tremendously great staff.
I’ve meant to try this place for yonks. It’s fun. It has an American theme with American craft beers on tap, which are tasty. For a nightcap, it was perfect.
The Surly Burger : 😍 Amazing
The Kenny Powers : 😍 Amazing
The delicious, juice-dripping Surly Burger is a must have if you’re here. A classic that just tastes soo beautiful especially if you’re hungry. They don’t call it crack sauce for nothing. The Kenny Powers Sandwich also didn’t disappoint with its soft, juicy pulled pork. What more can you want ?
Amazing experience here visiting from Byron Bay- loved it- super welcoming and fun. AL the host was a total legend! Wings- basketball & fireball! So so good.
Like any good BBQ place, the meat is sold by weight. And of course, the first thing I want is 200g of Sliced Brisket ($16, 100g). Sliced slightly thinner than I had expected, the meat was nevertheless smoky, buttery, and everything you want in a mouthful of BBQ brisket. Slather it up with your choice of sauce (they have several on offer), and away you go.
Good time bar with a great atmosphere (including free arcade games and live music when we visited) and tasty food. The mac n cheese balls were very arancini-esque with a delicious crispy coating, and paired well with a sweet cider. The burgers looked amazing too.
The menu here is really extensive of all the murican goodies you can possibly dream of. Only wished there was fried chicken! But they did have a southern fried chicken burger which scratched that itch for me. I heard great things about the Mac n cheese, so I had to order it when I came. The Mac n cheese was a great balance of creamy and cheesy! The place also has great vibes. My partner and I came here on a Friday to get us hyped for our end of year USA trip, we left satisfied, belly full and super hyped.
I think we all agree that we can’t say no to a good burger!
Well, this place is one of best burger joint that serving American style burger and smoked house.
“Handsome Mike” for example...hands down one of the best burger around.
Chopped beef brisket ( you can buy as its own, and comes with sides), and Mac & Cheese combo... boom! A winning combo to me.
Buffalo wings also pretty good.
The next time I come to this place, I will get 500g of their sliced brisket (because that's probably how much I can afford on my salary). I will lightly salt it at the table. And then I'm going to embarrass myself.
I might also get a poutine just to fill the void that is my stomach just a little more.
The brisket is fantastic. The rest of the things on the super platter are succulent but can't quite compare. But the brisket. *slobber*
Their brisket is the kind of thing that makes me wish I was a professional food blogger that got invited to American BBQ to try brisket for free.
(sorry I didn't take any photos of the meat platter I ordered. Was too hungry. Been trying this thing called intermittent fasting!)
Great vibe and even better staff!
Surly's has your usual selection of American BBQ classic hits and plenty of local and international beer to wash it down with.
Of the dishes we had the BBQ chicken thighs were the highlight. Highly recommended!
Came here for the bottomless BBQ. The food was awesome! Beef brisket was tender, chicken was full of flavour. For $85 it is great value including all you can drinks package. Staff were really helpful and attentive, always checking if we had enough food and drinks.
Great spot to go with a group of friends. They have great value share platters available and also an all you can eat smoked briskets on certain days.
Service is good and lots of variety of food.
American BBQ at Surly's didn't disappoint. Fun and lively tavern styled decor, fairly priced menu and great staff. Grabbed a brisket box on the Tuesday special and wings in Louisiana sauce. Accommodates for couples, small and large groups alike. Will return to try their vegan menu!
I'm always looking for new places that serve poutine. We arrived before their official opening time on a Saturday and were immediately greeted by a friendly and lovely waitress. We sat outside, so yes, it's dog 🐕 friendly ❤ . We were overwhelmed with all the wonderful choices, and once again, the waitress was very helpful with suggestions and ideas on what to order. The poutine was okay, but the BBQ platter was banging, and the mac and cheese balls were yummmmy. I will definitely go back again and again.
I'd consider this a hidden gem, but fantastic bbq tasting meat! Loving the American Bar vibes! The platter just gives you a great selection of meats. And the (freshly baked) pecan cookies are a great finisher.
Tried the weekly special of 2x $200 BBQ platters. There were 8 of us, though was more than enough for for a 9th person. The portions were generous with special mention to the smoked tender chicken, both burgers, and of the sides the mash n gravy, coleslaw and super sweet corn cobs. Recommend gathering 4-5 ppl for the weekly.special platter.
As a Canadian, I went to Surly's today to check out the poutine... turns out Sunday is Caesar day! 15$ classic caesar's +8$ for all the fixings. Came with 2 chicken wings, bbq pork and a chunk of delicious sausage! I rate the poutine quite highly, real cheese curds and the gravy was spot on! Will definitely be back for the BBQ plate when I have more room in my belly 🤤 the staff are also all really lovely and chatty people, from the host James and the awesome bartender Naomi! I recommend sitting at the bar so you can talk to Naomi, she's great. 10/10 will absolutely be back.
Fantastic American tavern with to die for wings and melt in your mouth brisket, bbq and burgers. American husband was skeptical but rates it 5 stars. Trivia and free arcade games upstairs kept us entertained after dinner. Top notch service especially Tyson who was super friendly and made us feel super welcome. Can’t wait to come back again and again especially for the bottomless bbq! Super fun Tuesday night.
Definitely recommending to friends and so worth a visit!
