    I booked TBBQ, Fitzroy, VIC for my husband's 50th Birthday. He's a big fan of smoked meats and TBBQ did not disappoint! Each meal was delicious, meat was melt in your mouth and the smoky meat aroma as you walk in the store is enticing! The service we received was attentive and helpful. Vegetarians are catered for with smoked eggplant and fire-roasted potato mash. These meals were delicious too! We had finished our meals and went to pay, however the friendly staff member said to sit back down as the staff had prepared a special Birthday dessert for my husband. Dessert was brought out with a candle and we got to sing Happy Birthday. It was very thoughtful and kind of staff to do this. Would highly recommend this place for the food and service. Thank you for looking after us!
