Bluestone American BBQ features a Latin American spin on authentic low and slow traditions from the US BBQ belt. Chef Alvaro Malel draws inspiration from his Uruguayan heritage, and his passion for cuisines from both American continents to reimagine smoked classics like Yearling Beef Short Rib with chimichurri, and Pit-Braised Pulled Lamb with salsa criolla and arepas.His talent for bringing together the best of North and South American food traditions has been a drawcard for diners across Melbourne since the restaurant opened seven years ago. He credits the success of Bluestone to his Uruguayan culture and heritage, which is all about “food, family and fire…BBQ is a feature of all my best memories. There’s no better way to celebrate milestones, or to just kick back and have fun with the people you love. Bluestone has always been about creating that experience for other people.”

The Braybrook Hotel is situated on Ballarat Rd in Braybrook and has recently undergone an extensive renovation, engaging all sections of the hotel creating a fresh and modern look, while also retaining a link to its rich history from the mid 1800’s. Only 20 minutes from the Melbourne CBD the Braybrook Hotel has plenty of off street parking and offers a range of award winning facilities. The first Braybrook Hotel is thought to have been erected around 1854, possibly in response to the demand from travellers to the gold fields. However, the earliest rate record found for this building was in 1863-4 when Charles Niven Young was the licensee and John Lang was the owner. These days the hotel is home to our ‘world famous’ all you can eat buffet with brand new Kids Play Area, multiple function rooms for all of your private and corporate needs, a state of the art TAB, modern gaming facilities, Sports Bar and extensive drive-thru Bottleshop that is open 7 days per week until late.

We come back here every year for my partner's birthday, and it continues to offer a superb feast. Just - you don't want to be sitting by the front door in winter - it's a big sliding door and whenever people come in or out, it lets in a big draft, and half the time it gets left open. We found ourselves as the defacto door closers! They could improve that and it'd be brilliant. That's really the only issue with the place - it's noisy AF, but you expect that here. The crispy pork belly, just ... wow!

Overall the pizza and pasta and the specials were delicious, however service could be more tentative. We had to ask for water refills many times, and had to ask twice to say we are ready to order.

Would like some ventilation where all the cooking happens, there is a lot of the smell you are breathing in. Other than that everything was excellent, and we had a great night.
