What Rachel likes about Charlie Staples Original Famous Bar-b-que:
I LOVE this place! Everyone was so nice there, and I felt like I walked into a family barbecue instead of a barbecue restaurant. Everyone who worked there was super nice and it made for a great atmosphere overall. The cashier helped me decide on which kind of sauce to get, and her recommendation was exactly what I wanted! The food was as great as the people working there! View all feedback.

Australia has always been famous for multicultural food bit like America :)! But if a place like this opened up 10 years ago people would be confused..

Every time I get to town, I eat here. Prices have risen as everywhere, but the online menu is not exactly the prices.
