Big Roddy's Rippin' Rib Shack

Best Known For

From pork button to marble-score grass-fed beef short rib, there's a half or full rack with your name on it. Pair it with any of their five housemade BBQ sauces!

Serving up secret recipe, prime cut ribs in the city’s hottest dining precinct, no visit to South Brisbane is complete without a stop at Big Roddy’s Rippin’ Rib Shack on Fish Lane. Only metres from its original market stall, this American-style diner rocks a rustic vibe of a curved bar, recycled timber, leather booth seating and a cartoon mural of the owner as guests devour finger-lickin’ good racks of ribs. Start with wings ‘n’ things to share like fried jalapeños stuffed with mac ‘n’ cheese, mozzarella and cheeseburger dipping sauce; before chowing down on a Ribwich burger of beef brisket, pork belly and shoulder, pulled meat, BBQ sauce, coleslaw and pickles on a toasted bun. Don’t go past a full plate of beef short ribs, with spicy BBQ sauce, garlic green beans and sweet potato fries.
