Full Throttle BBQ & Cafe
(Beresfield NSW)
OCT 2024
Glenreagh bakery was an epic even though the “Gladiator” wasn’t there, but it was time to move on and head to my next review. Next place on the list was the legendary Full Throttle BBQ at Beresfield.
This place was the vision of a champion fella named Mick, who opened the custom garage first in 2018 and the cafe soon after that. Mick was in the mining industry for many years and was semi retired, but his boredness and love for BBQ lead to the creation of this incredible place. Full Throttle is now considered the holy grail of smoked brisket/bbq and this place has won many awards including first place at Meatstock in Sydney. They are arguably the best BBQ team in the business. They also manufacture and distribute Manhorne BBQ Smokers, offer bbq and smoking masterclasses, meat supply plus an epic cafe that now dishes up 🥧’s.
This place is massive!!!
Out the back is a fully operational baking factory dedicated to making 🥧’s and a HUGE custom garage that renovates and restores, custom and antique cars.
The cars getting worked on and restored here are next level and totally blew me away. Mick and his team are not bakers and when the 🥧’s where introduced it took this place to a whole new level. After meeting the team and getting the factory and garage tour, it was time to head over to the cafe and get started.
Legend has it that Mick was the first bloke in 🇦🇺 to make and sell Brisket 🥧’s to the general public. These days this particular flavoured 🥧 is seen almost everywhere
and has become incredibly popular. At Full Throttle there is over 9 varieties of brisket 🥧’s on the menu and holy smokes they looked fantastic. In the end I went with the “brisket, gravy, jalapeño, and cheese” and as soon as I saw it I knew I made the right choice.
🥧 THE REVIEW 🥧
1. Value for Money – Yes $8.50 is great value for any 🥧 that contains slow cooked wagyu brisket and this one was no different. This 🥧 in particular wasn’t huge I’d say around 220g to 230g. Overall very affordable value and the score would have been higher if the 🥧 was slightly bigger and weighed in heavier. 8.5/10
2. Meat/Fill Ratio – About 95% full of big meat chunks. Only a couple of small air pockets, but overall you would be very happy with the fill in this 🥧. 9.5/10
3. Flavour – From the first bite I was hooked. The flavour was absolutely perfect in every way. The BBQ wagyu brisket was magnificent and cooked perfectly. The dark gravy sauce was sensational, and the cheese and jalapeño was the perfect blend. The flavour got better and better with every bite, and I didn’t want it to end. Great job guys !!!! 10/10
4. Pastry – The color of the 🥧 caught my attention straight away, it was golden and stood out like dog’s you know what’s !!! . The shape, stability and shrinkage were also spot on. The bakes and bake thicknesses were absolutely perfect and it was the best pastry I’ve tasted for quite some time. In my opinion the pastry of this 🥧 was first class. 10/10
5. Serving Temperature – Perfect temp. 10/10
Overall Rating
🥧🥧 48/50 🥧🥧
This was an exceptional product and near perfect. I can now fully understand the hype around this place. The slow cooked wagyu brisket was so good and tasted fantastic, the cheese and jalapeño combination worked a treat. The pastry was also perfect in every way and tasted a treat. The $8.50 price tag was more than affordable but this was a smallish 🥧 compared to others I’ve reviewed. I know this is a massive statement but this is the best brisket 🥧 I’ve ever had and for a place that’s not a bakery what an outstanding effort they have done. Great stuff lads loved it !!!
This is one place you wanna add to your 🥧 list. The products are off the charts, there is heaps of parking and trust me you won’t be disappointed.
A big thanks to the entire team for having me in and showing me around. This place is one impressive operation and I’m so glad I popped in. What Mick and his team have created is nothing short of astonishing. The custom garage, the baking factory, the cafe and shop are super impressive, but the food served here is all next level. I cannot wait to catch up with Mick soon and hear more about this 🥧 journey Well done guys and 100% I will be back again.
