Happy 2024
Thank you to everyone who has supported me since I started Southern Grace Diner (Meat & 3) in 2019
Fast forward a few months after opening SGD & the world changed! Covid came with all the challenges we have all unfortunately become familiar with
My focus has always been a quality, freshly prepared product which is why I am only open 2 days per week, Fridays (brisket showcase) & Sundays (SGD meat &3)
Believe it or not, a full week of work goes into opening those days which is mainly due to the fact that everything is prepared by me from scratch, with the assistance of Morgan, of course
The new year brings a change to my social combining all the accounts under the Big Boy BBQ banner
Big Boy BBQ, the OG BBQ joint in Melbourne (which opened in 2011) is still going strong & continues to raise the bar & innovate BBQ & Southern food in Australia
I feel really proud & grateful to be able to share my love of the South with everyone who comes through the doors
I couldn’t have done it without the loyal following of a handful of amazing people who have supported me through some really tough times when I was ready to pull the pin. Your support means the world to me & motivates me to keep on going. Thank you all ❤️
Looking forward to 2024, my 13th year slinging BBQ & Soul food
Still smoking the good stuff (meat)

Back again on Friday with the brisket showcase & Sunday with our own style of meat (BBQ) & 3
Thank you for all your support & encouragement over the past year. Great to see so many regulars as well as new faces in the store

The Reuben is back this week
I cure this for a minimum of 36 days, come and taste the difference! Yes it can be done quicker, no, the flavour is not the same even if the colour is the same
Preorder and booking slots are filling up. Once they are full there will still be plenty of food for walk in customers to take away or dine in
