That soon changed when I took a call from a ripping lad named Jarrod.Jarrod and his partner Lauren own and operate the The Bunker Smokehouse and Bar in Gympie. This place specializes in everything “American BBQ” so when Jarrod reached out and asked me to pop up and see him I didn’t need much convincing.
Situated on the corner of Reef and Channon Street in the heart of Gympie, the food in this place will blow your mind. Open Wednesday to Saturday this joint is a meat lovers paradise. Over 350KG of brisket is consumed here every week and last year alone over 10 tonne was smashed and consumed by hungry meat loving human’s.
What makes this place even more legendary is that every is
“Friday Day”. That’s right, every Friday you can pop in and grab a or four. Seriously “Brisket & Pulled Pork” tastes insane but throw it into a and its “EPIC”
Day”. That’s right, every Friday you can pop in and grab a or four. Seriously “Brisket & Pulled Pork” tastes insane but throw it into a and its “EPIC” Day, Friday Day only has a limited variety of ’s available, but I wasn’t complaining. I did try one of there new flavors the “Mexican ” that was outstanding, but the I was reviewing was the “Brisket & Pulled Pork” the smell and flavor oozing out of this was ridiculous and I couldn’t wait to get started.THE REVIEW 1. Value for Money – I would have no hesitation in paying $8 for this again. The size of this and the quality of the ingredients are superb. This was the weight of a shot put. This is meal and well worth every cent of the $8 price tag. 10/10

4. Pastry – Very good. This was heavy as a brick and held together very well. The inside of the did run out slightly, that’s only because it was a gravy based sauce. Overall very good. 9/10

46.5/50 Bloody beautiful !!! That’s how I’m going to describe this . The flavor was the absolute standout. The brisket and pulled pork was cooked to perfection and I wouldn’t expect anything less. Jarrod is the “Yoda” when cooking the “American BBQ” he’s the master. Yes the price point is up there, but this is meal and extremely filling and the $8 price point is great value. If you in the the Gymp on a Friday then “ Day Friday” is a must. Don’t forget they sell out quickly so get in early.
