Overall great. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience was lovely.
Amazing burgers & sides. Best burgers in a long while. Wait staff were friendly but didn't check on us so missed out on 2nd round of drinks.
Unbelievable food and service. The videos on Facebook looked amazing and the food exceeded expectation. I had the pulled pork burger. Amazing!!! I Can't wait until next time. Question is what will I eat next , it all looks good.
Great service and awesome food. Since I discovered Third Wave Cafe two months ago, I've apready been there four times. Will definitely continue that. Highly recommended.
The best American BBQ I've been to, the ribs were to die for you their home made BBQ sauce is a must. Will go back.
Great taste! Little bit expensive tho. It's good to go there earlier with kids. Because They just have only one high chair. Wanted to drink more:p
The food and service was great. However, due to understaff or too many online orders, the waiting time for food was long. Overall, it was good.
the burgers are absolutely fantastic, great taste of flavor and texture. However the price are a little bit high for the drinks. Over all, its a great advanture
Great venue, great meal. A nice friendly atmosphere. One meal came out much slower than the others, but it was still delicious and the staff were very apologetic. Will definitely again.
Dry ribs, and bad customer service , not a great experience, glasses and couches were very dirty also , We will not be returning that's for sure
Presents well but is over spiced. Service wasn't great, nothing was explained and she seem annoyed to have be there. Overall it lackluster, they just know how to take a good picture and assembly food.
Great Food and very friendly service. Decor was casual and well laid out - Prahan location Meal was prompt arriving after ordering and staff very helpful for first time visitors Definitely will go back again
The sweet apple bourbon sauce is amazing and the smoked mac & cheese is the best in Melbourne! Oh and how do I forget the pork ribs... DELICIOUS!
Third wave is by far the best American BBQ going round. Do yourself a favour and get the mac n cheese! Oh and the pork ribs #heaven
tasty american style meats! chips are especially delicious, but the real show stopper is their maple bacin - its chewy and sweet and salty all at the same time.
Food was nice, we ordered the oink balls, pork ribs and the salmon, all cooked good and tasted nice. Big servings as well. Service was good
Nice cafe with good and attentive staff, food was also good too. It is not a big restaurant so book a table ahead of time.
Amazing food and service! We will definitely be back when we return to Melbourne and will be recommending to our friends visiting! Thanks for a great night.
Best ribs I've ever had. The Oh Mamma was awesome, even the bacon candy was good as a starter. Only downfall was the Jucy Lucy patty was almost red raw inside. But I'd definitely come back again
Food was delicious and very filling. Service was friendly and quick which always helps. Will definitely be coming back and will probably grab a bottle of their sauce
this is our second times dinned in third wave, for both we have a good time, Good food,good service, we will back again and recommend to our friends
good option just off chapel street. fine range of food. only complaint was that it was too hard to chose just one main from the epic menu.
Amazing food and service; the staff were very attentive and we're kind enough to allow us to make changes to meet our dietary requirements. Will definitely be coming back!
Food is incredible! Very friendly and quick service, definitely receive what you pay for! On the house sauces are so good we had to buy one!
Candy bacon, sangria, milkshakes (boozy and non), burgers. All thoroughly satisfying. Would recommend for anyone with an appetite and minimal regard for health. The service was good, minimal waiting time for food and beverages. Cheeseburger Royale was the selection of 5/6 people from our table, nobody was complaining, that burger is the bomb. Bacon candy is the greatest concept and tasted exactly as described in the menu. Recommend 2 serves for 6 people.
The pork ribs tasted really good, love the sauce! But the dinasour ribs are not so great. A lot of burnt bits. The restaurant ambience is great for hangingout
The Juicy Lucy burger was beautifully served and very tasty. The brisket was a little dry. Good and helpful service, really enjoyed. Will definitely come again.
Food was delicious! We shared a bunch of side dishes and a half rack of the pork ribs so we could try as much as possible. The bacon candy is amazing!!!
Great Food, loved the beef ribs! Duck fat roast potatoes were amazing as well! Staff seemed a little confused and all over the show but friendly! Will be back
I had lunch at the Third Wave and enjoyed it very much. But the Russian Salad portion was too big to finish. Second time I have been there and like the place a lot.
Great food and good coffee. Wide variety of food options, burgers and reuben sandwich are excellent. Dessert will expand your waistline so indulge if you dare.
Food, superb! If there's word more than superb i'll go with that. Things not good are they lack manpower and small place. Still, we will dine again.
It was my first visit to Third Wave. There is a wide ranging menu. The pork ribs were delicious and the service was wonderful. Very reasonably priced.
Great food and service. Luckily we were in time for the dinosaur ribs which were the best ribs we have ever eaten!! We will definitely go back.
Third wave is my go to place for ribs, they never fail to hit the spot and for me consistency is very important - quality of food is always consistent and service was good considering the staff member was on her own :) keep it up Third Wave!
Booked for 4, was seated and served very quickly! The food all came out together in about 10-15 minutes of waiting. It was a delicious meat feast. Ordered the smoky mac and cheese, bacon candy, ribs and salmon. It was all delicious.
Great place, great food and great service. Will definitely be going there again. Will be recommending it to friends and family. Go there and do yourself a favor.
We were seated and given menus.. there was 4 of us and only 3 menus were given. Anyway i let it side as it was not a big deal. It took 30 minutes for us to order and we had to get the waiters attention too. I observed the other tables and they had to do the same. Wierd youd think they want to take your order. Food arrived and burgers were average. Not sure what the hype is all about reading it on zomato. Could get a awesome burger from mr.scruff or 8bit for half the price. Also i requested for mayo, i had to ask for it 3 times!! before it arrived. Lastly i got a sangria which was 27$ oh lord. Way too expensive for 500 ml. That is usually a price for a jug. Definately would not come back. The place is situated in pahran there are so many better cafes to go to and to spend your money.
Food was great we all enjoyed it and will definitely be going back. Service was great! Ambiance wasn't great for dinner as it felt more like a cafe. I think they need to dime the lights? .
Food here is amazing and they are generous with the portion sizes also have to say the staff are really helpful and are really nice love this place
The food was, quite simply, superb. I enjoyed the beef rib and pulled pork oh mamma burger and my wife absolutely loved the pork ribs.
Excellent service and delicious food. Paleo options for me and conventional options for hubby. We will definitely go again when we head to Melbourne next.
The best American BBQ in Melbourne. The pork spare ribs were done to perfection and the peanut butter milkshake was just crazy good. Service was excellent too so can't really fault the place. Look forward to going back.
Quick service, good for meat lovers but the salads are generally lacklustre (ordered green salad and potato salad) and perhaps you'd be better off ordering something else (like chips)
Booking was cancelled an hour before I was due to attend as they lost their power and closed for the night. Rebooked with 25% discount offered. Looking forward to attending in 2 weeks time.
Fantastic staff, fantastic atmosphere, and fantastic food. As an American, this was the best American style BBQ I have had in Australia to date. We will be going back.
Food is great, large portion. The ribs were cooked well, although prefer to have it more tender. The restaurant environment was great. It wasn't too crowded, so we could have a good conversation with the dinner.
Great service and food. Most meals about $30, however the dinosaur ribs are $50. They are amazing served with their special in house sauce and very filling
Really enjoyed the Texas Fry Up from the Paleo menu for lunch, with Juicy marinated beef Diverse lunch menu. Comfortable corner seating. The cafe latte was excellent as well.
Great food and service. Very quick too! Nutella milkshake and candied bacon is to die for, and I have never had beef that tender before!
