Real feedback from Melbourne hosts who trusted YDU with their party.
The BBQ we’re known for
Brisket, pulled pork and a proper Southern spread.
Every YDU Classic starts with premium Australian Wagyu brisket and pulled pork, smoked low and slow over ironbark. Deep peppery bark, tender slices and pork that pulls apart. Add homemade sides and build a plate worth coming back to.
Pulled pork
Soft, juicy and smoked until it pulls apart.
Add your sides
Build the spread you want.
At a Southern BBQ table, the sides are part of the meal. Add creamy potato salad, crisp coleslaw and smoky baked beans to build a plate that feels complete.
Franklin Potato Salad
Creamy, peppery and bright with crisp pickles—the perfect partner for brisket.
Creamy Coleslaw
Fresh, crisp and tangy enough to cut through rich, slow-smoked meat.
Wicked Baked Beans
Sweet, smoky and loaded with porky goodness, with just a little heat.
Go beyond the classic
Make the BBQ the moment.
This is where the Southern smokehouse opens up. For milestone parties and serious BBQ crowds, add the cuts that make people stop, look and reach for another plate.
The showstopper
Giant beef ribs
Big bark, rich beef and a proper centrepiece for the table.
Ironbark-smoked chicken
Golden, juicy and deeply smoky.
Memphis dry rub ribs
Tennessee dry-rub tradition. Peppery bark. No sauce needed.
