Smoky Sue's Barbecue Maroubra

I regret not taking pics of our meal to post right next to the ones advertised on their Facebook or menu. We were very excited to taste the juicy brisket advertised online, instead received a thin and very dryed flavorless meat, the serving are so small for everything including very inexpensive items such as chips, pickles and slaw, our 2 servings of slaw were 3/4 full or less and loosely packed. Receiving a large platter with 40% of space empty and thin slices of meat spread out was visually disappointing. from 5 meats we sampled the pull pork was nice and the sausages were ok.

Interesting concept of combining sous vide with smoking. End results are abit mixed when compared to traditional smoke only.

some of the brisket was hard, but most was juicy and the pig bell was melted in mouth amazing some of the best I ever had. the amount could have been a bit small for $40 (and only basic sides like salat are included in the plate), but we share the $40 plate between two people no problem. I'm writing them, although I wanted to make push buttons on the credit card machine to see if I wanted to type. it's bad enough to harass customers for tips, but they push buttons when a contactless payment is just a huge middle finger.

We came here last night and it was clear they were struggling. Even though we had reservations we still had to wait because the owner guy in the kitchen could not work out that the people seated at our table needed to be advised that it was time to move on. Also had to go to the counter looking for our drinks. Food was ok but overpriced
