Eating Utah

Reservations? Not applicable - Wallaby’s is kind of fast food. You order in a line and they bring the food to your table.

Overview: If you like Goodwood (or any barbecue restaurant), you will love this Australian version. The meat is slow-cooked and tender, the sides are delicious and the place is clean. The only drawback is that the menu can be kind of confusing for first-timers and the friendliness of the staff is hit and miss.

Total price for 2 (includes entrees and a drink): $20 for lunch

Comments: I’ve been here a few times and it’s just hit and miss. One time the owner waited on us and was very friendly (and even brought us some free desserts, which we thought was pretty cool). This last time, though, asking for a clarification the menu (which is kind of confusing for a first-timer) seemed to be a real inconvenience to the cashier.

Comments: It’s great for what it is - a casual barbecue restaurant. The place is well decorated with an Australian flair.

Best dish: Hands down the pulled-pork sandwich (I think it’s called a Sanger). I was nervous when I first saw it because it was a huge chunk of pork (it didn’t look like it had been pulled thoroughly), but it was slow cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. One of the other people in our party made the same comment about the pulled pork.

Other comments: Overall I would say it’s a great casual alternative to Goodwood. The meat is better and the sides are almost as good. If you like barbecue give it a shot - you won’t be disappointed.
