Roast Republic has a great upbeat vibe & delicious food!! Every one of the staff that we met were incredibly happy & fun, this made the place so nice to be in. We ordered a big platter to share with an array of meats & sauces, it was hard to finish because it was huge, but hard to stop eating because it was so good!! The desert menu looked so tasty, but we couldn’t fit it in, so we’ll be back to try the pecan & apple pie.

We had the Texan BBQ. Prawns bang on, as were the wings, pork belly and sausages. Steak was a big letdown. Poor quality and small for 3. Throw bit more on of the belly too. One slither a bit tight. If the steak was on point there would have been epic. Just some advice. Whenever I've ordered platters it's the chips and salads that are in abundance, wrong items to be plentiful.
