Story

Third Wave has become a religious experience on the Melbourne restaurant scene. Since opening in 2010, we have cemented a reputation as a great neighborhood cafe with a loyal breakfast and lunch crowd. People come from far and wide to enjoy our exceptional coffees and vast breakfast & lunch menu. Then by night, we transform into a bustling BBQ joint, inspired by the classic American smoke houses of the deep south. Today we are proud to be recognised as one of the best American BBQ experiences you'll have outside of the US.

How it began
Inga is the passionate owner of Third Wave Cafe, a lady with a fierce drive for delivering a quality product, which spills into every area of the business, from grass fed locally sourced meat to perfectly textured milk in your coffee from 5 Senses beans. Its been Inga’s dream to own and operate a café. So after nagging her husband for about a decade, the dream finally came true.

We like to think we have mastered the art of slow smoking, especially using our custom built smoker, named Brutus. Our American BBQ meats are melt-in-your mouth, fall-off-the-bone delicious. The house made BBQ sauces are so good that some customers want to drink them.

Uniquely, you can have our amazing menu delivered to your home. We deliver up to 10km from Port Melbourne, 7 days a week. Order online on our website or call 96762399. Our delivery service extends to a full catering service where the whole menu can be ordered for your private functions delivered to most areas of Melbourne.

My family are big meat eaters so really looked forward to this. Was not expecting the size of the serves. They were huge. The loaded sweet potato fries could have served 2-3 people. And the birthday meal deal was fantastic. Again, great serves for this. And the food tasted magnificent. Will definitely be back and highly recommend to anyone who likes slow cook/BBQ meats.
Sadly I did not have the chance to try the Minecraft burger, waitress said that it was only a promotional item on the menu and they stop serving it. The serving of the food we ordered was too much for 2 persons even though they said that it was good for 2 persons. For the taste, I did not like the taste that much. Staff service was great, they were very helpful although the food serving time could be improved more.
I honestly wanted to love this place, but after trying it for the first time after knowing it existed years ago left me very disappointed.nnFirstly, the service is great, no complaints there.nnThe food - we got the BBQ platter for one, along with a side of corn bread and Mac and cheese. It all looked delicious, and I was so excited to try it. I’m a huge fan of smoked brisket, so for me this was the main attraction. Until we dug in however, I’ve honestly never we been more disappointed I’ve had better backyard beef brisket. It was dry and under seasoned. The short rib was OK but not the best. The corn bread was very dry. The Mac and cheese was OK but had better. The brioche seemed like a plate filler and tasted store bought come off a bit stale.nnSurprisingly, the pulled pork was actually one of the best ones I’ve had. Most places never get this one right. So thumbs up to that. Also, the chips were great. But it’s disappointing when you keep going back for the chips when you’re supposed to have an amazing meal all around it.nnIt was also strange to see the platter served with horseradish sauce. I wouldn’t think would be the first choice normally BBQ would be the default.nnAll in all, unfortunately I cannot recommend the smoked BBQ aspect, especially the price. For reference, a similar meat tray is approx $40-60 elsewhere, and much better quality. This was $81 which is astronomical for what you get. I would maybe consider trying the burgers or the ribs, but I’m left skeptical.
Third Wave BBQ in Albert Park is a true paradise for BBQ lovers! Their extensive range of BBQ options is simply unmatched, with flavors that are perfectly smoked and seasoned to perfection. I was blown away by the generous hospitality, especially the free special meal they gifted me for my birthday—it made my day even more memorable. If you're after top-notch BBQ and a welcoming vibe, this spot is a must-visit
I visited this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The BBQ food was delicious, with authentic flavors and very generous portions—perfect for anyone who loves hearty meals. Plus, since it was my birthday, my meal was free, which was a nice touch.nnThe atmosphere is great for both family outings and gatherings with friends, as the place is cozy and group-friendly. The only downside was that I didn’t get a dessert, probably because it was a busy Saturday afternoon, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience, but they could be a bit more attentive.
