We were excited to see a Australian restaurant in Asia and headed there after a few drinks somewhere else ( we should have stayed there) It was terrible the owners hold court in the back of the restaurant and just order the staff around!! Terrible! Average food! Credit should be given to the staff and service, I wouldn't work for... More

We were looking for a restaurant that had great seafood, but also offered meat for my carnivorous dad. The concierge sent us along to the Aussie BBQ. Coming from WA we thought it might be a case of 'coals to Newcastle', but that was before we set eyes on those gorgeous prawns! In fact everything was first rate. Great service,... More

Really nice team of staff headed up by the owner Doreen who IS Australian. Located on the Waterfront Boardwalk in Kota Kinabalu. Went there late afternoon on my own and in the evening with my fiancee. Excellent friendly service. The owner even helped me by recommending a local food shop Tong Hing for some items I had been unable to... More

A common theme in my restaurant reviews is the need occaisionally to find something familiar for my kids when we are in more exotic locations, hence the trip to the Aussie Barbecue. Initially, it doesn't promise that much - the menu is a bit of a mess, ranging between cheap backpacker options and really quite expensive steaks, but with relatively... More

Furthermore, when I ate at Aussie BBQ I was shown the steak prior... More

Cooked to death on a BBQ plate and served with greasy crinkle cut chips, chunks of greasy fried onion and a pot of Oxo gravy! Even my husband, who is not... More
