About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
Third Wave has established itself as arguably the best American BBQ restaurant in Melbourne. We serve the most amazingly flavoursome Slow Smoked meats and fish. From juicy, meaty Pork Ribs and Brisket to Smoked Salmon. There is an extensive range of sides including Glazed Mushrooms, Duck Fat Confit Potatoes and Smoked Mac and Cheese. The other specialty is Paleo and Russian (the owners are Russian so thought it would be appropriate to add a small selection of Russian Classics). During the day we serve great breakfast options and really good coffee.

    I was up front with the staff on our disappointing experience and they apologised and offered a discount. We were very excited for this date night but hopefully it was just the cook having an off day

    The service was wonderful the noise level was unbearable, the lighting was poor and the food was lovely but to expensive for a meal with added sides.

    Dinosaur Ribs was perfect occasion to satisfy the hungriest of appetite! It's the BBQ Meat Fix that suits a man! The food and ambience was great; the service tops it all! Thank you for making belated Father's day pretty special and memorable!

    I loved the food, but for those that aren't so ok with Spice, it was a bit much for them. Not a great venue for kids, as they weren't catered for menu wise.
