Comments of Old Faithful - Bar & BBQ
D. A.
Delicious smoked beef and a great variety of drinks. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommended
C. M.
Nana meats and sauces, Deep fried pickles on the menu, extensive drinks menu... What more could you want...?
The chicken is to die for, so is the brisket..
Loaded chips come highly recommended too.
The service here is great, very laid back, you can also get just about anything from the menu to go...
Its my new go to for american BBQ.
H. F.
Very nice bbq. We always go for a mixed platter to enjoy a bit of everything. Try to get in early as its walk in only. But if you dont finish it all (possible but not optional) you can take it away. Mega bonus.
W. A.
First time here and sat at the bar.Bar service was amazing.ordered a pint of stout and later a Hornet IPA both excellent but abit pricy at $16 each!!!!Crazy won't be back for this rip off!!!
Might possibly be the most expensive pint I've ever bought!
The meal of Beef Brisket and lamb ribs were amazing but the corn bread was really yukky compared to what I've had elsewhere,dry stale tasteless and the expensive coleslaw was very yukky way too much vinegar inedible keep away from those 2 items on the menu.
Overall a nice place to have a beer and meat with amazing service.
A. C.
The food was delicious - the Brussels sprouts were an absolute stand out!
I loved the concept of the bucket of bacon.
The whiskeys were delicious & the choice was mind blowing.
The venue was nice - cushions on the bench seats would be a great idea.
A. L.
Awesome inner city bar/restaurant! Enjoyed the poppers with a few drinks. Friendly service, highly recommend!
A. M.
All the Burgers are amazing !! They come with fries!! And are incredibly tasty.!! Lookout for their specials which are good !! The fried chicken could be improved though !! Very classy place somehow always has Good Music on
J. R.
They don't do reservations but we didn't have to wait to be seated. Very efficient. We had a platter, grilled Brussels sprouts, jalepeno poppers and loaded fries. The meats were fantastic and tender. The Brussels sprouts were so tasty. The loaded chips and poppers came with Lime Cream. I didn't like the taste of the lime cream, it ruined the poppers so just ate them with no dipping sauce. Overall nicely designed place with a relaxed atmosphere. Lots of craft beers on tap, I had a sour which went well with the meats.
P.
I have eaten here a few times and will come back again. A little disappointing you can't reserve a table, but they turn them around pretty quick. Food was good, good amounts and quality. Service was excellent...I gave 4 stars as we sat in an alley way I guess you describe it, it is undercover, you are on a slope, so always leaning, in a very narrow lane way type area, and you get a view of all plumbing pipes that are exposed... felt damp and pretty ordinary...if you are happy to sit an an after thought area all well and good, the main part of restaurant is much nicer, try to get in there...

We’ve been looking for good American style bbq places & they’ve got our attention quickly so went in to try on a Saturday lunch hour.
We’ve tried their Smokey philly & Unfaithful Reuben.
Decent brisket sandwiches with good price & portion size if you visit during lunch hours (probably could cut down a bit on the bread thickness for the Reuben in our opinion).
They’ve got good range of beers on tap as well but all of them are a bit on the pricey side that’s the only downside for us.
However, would definitely be back to try their bbq platter next time.
C. S.
Good food and impressive range of brisket, pork belly, pilled bork, lamb ribs and wings. Noisy and busy dining space and quite hot as the aircon doesn't seem to make much difference but the BBQ smell is delicious and the food was generous portions
P. K.
Relaxed atmosphere, delicious food and drinks. Any place that can make brussels sprouts taste good must have a magician in the kitchen 😂. We had the lamb ribs and chicken wings too. Ribs were mostly fat with only the tiniest strips of meat on it, so not my taste but the wings were fantastic; the batter had a slight crunch to it and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The ranch dipping sauce was a great compliment to the dish too
P. W.
Delicious lamb ribs and wings and very helpful staff. Great beer selection but a little pricey for a pint. Very nice lunch experience
L. B. P.
Situated on king's st on one of the best streets in Perth is what I thought would be a eating experience. Wasn't I in for a surprise. The service is good and the staff helpful but the food is lacking in quantity and quality. The brisket was dry and ribs small. The barbecue chicken wings was the only highlight though my wife was happy with her chicken burger. The beer pricing is ridiculous. I personally will never set foot into this establishment again . I actually had to get a snack later in the night . If you want to pay a lot for very little then this place is for you .Otherwise give it a wide berth.
S. P.
Went there with a Texan friend who knows his BBQs he said one of the best he has been to in Oz. Tasted pretty bloody good to me too. Great selection of beers wines and cocktails
D. M.
Good atmosphere (apart from the beer menu TV’s), decent service, awesome pulled pork (it didn’t even need the sauce), clean tasting pickled coleslaw was really good. A big fail was the brisket though… tough, fat not rendered through, chewy in parts… disappointing!
Y.
Great for groups, specials every day.
Would recommend the Club Sandwich to be shared between two people, it's enormous! Pulled pork was tasty, wings were tasty, a bit over-fried and dry, but in a good way.
Would not recommend the potato salad, it came in a decent sized serving but was not at all tasty.
N. W.
Been here a few times over the years. When we first came a few years ago, this place was amazing but throughout, it has slowly dropped its customer service and flavour/quality in food. Hopefully they can bounce back again!
B. L.
I have walked past here many times but finally went in and it's worth it. Great selection of beers, and cocktails. The staff were all very friendly and organised. The mixologist was consistent and the quality was top notch. Lots of great BBQ coming out of the kitchen. Definitely worth a visit if you want some nice bbq and drinks
b.
This was recommended by my husband who had a work do here recently.
The relaxed ambiance is great for catching up with friends or even for a date. The music wasn't too overpowering which meant we didn't have to yell to have a conversation.
The service was prompt, the wait person who attended to our table was friendly and made sure our meal was ok.
The food was delicious. The beef brisket melted in the mouth and full of flavor.
The lamb ribs with chimichuri fell off the bones and very tasty. The jalapeno wings also hit the mark.
The coleslaw stood out from the other ones I've had in the other BBQ places - with a hint of dill and the soury taste of pickles helped cut through the sickening feeling of having too much meat.
They also have a wide selection of beer and spirits.
Very reasonably priced which made it even tastier. 😊
Overall a very pleasant experience.
P. D.
Really great service which was friendly attentive and efficient. Great selection of beers. Food was really good as well. New favorite eatery.
F. C.
Our first visit here. What were we thinking, not coming sooner. Great range of beers. And the food! Ribs were awesome and I had it from a good source that the double cheeseburger was "the best she has ever had".
S. D.
Tasty BBQ meat. Gin cocktails. Great atmosphere. You can't book, so get there early.
A.
Great value American BBQ in central Perth. Located in a beautiful histrocial building, the bar is flooded with atmosphere and chatter that makes it a real great venue to attend.
The beer selection is phenomenal, offering a wide variety of craft beers, IPA and some amazing stouts. The food is just pure meat, with meat and more smoked meat. It's a great BBQ feast to be shared with others.
The staff were wonderful, friendly & organised, couldn't fault the at all. For being the middle of the city it was pretty good value, no shocks here on the bill.
P. L.
The pork ribs were simply the best - the charred and smoky flavour was so good, and the sauce was perfect. Also had the beef ribs and brisket with some Mac and cheese, but I'd say the pork ribs were my highlight!
S. R.
I only go because of the Buffalo wings however I was very disappointed this time as the Louisiana "hot" wings I picked up for takeaway turned out to be just plain old deep wing's,no spice at all, hopefully I just got the wrong order. I love my hot wings and good wings are hard to get in Perth so I'll give them another go.
B. B.
Food was good but slightly misleading portions. All star says feeds 4 to 6. We had a table of 4 and was touch and go.Only had 3 pieces of bread, wouldve thought at least to fit the minimum 4 & one slice of brisket to be shared was quite slim.
K. H.
The best food I have had this year , six times six different meals , this time , lamb ribs with rubbed broccolini lathered in garlic , 10/10 give it a go kids you won't be disappointed , beers ain't bad either . Il be back 😋
M. A.
The chiefs do a fantastic job in bringing out the best brisket and burnt ends. So juicy and delicious. We also had a incredibly tasty serve of brussel sprouts and rosted roasted broccoli. A fantastic team, chiefs and staff
C. F.
Great experience, needed 2 All Star platters to feed this crew but was worth it. The beer menu is equally great.
O.
This place is the bomb. Their meat is always cooked to perfection and the variety is amazing. The brisket and pulled pork was so good I could eat it everyday. Service was impeccable, lovely staff. First outing back since quarantine, definitely a 10/10
A. M. (.
After visiting The Comedy Lounge, we wanted to get some food and drinks for the team. We went to Old Faithful and had some fantastic food and drinks! Great venue with amazingly delicious food!
B. S.
Despite how busy it was on a Saturday night, we got a table quickly. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was great. The best thing we ordered was the maple bacon potatoes. I could have just eaten them and been satisfied. Keen to try some of the other menu items next time.
A. K.
Went to the Old Faithful for some food and drinks after work and had the juiciest cheeseburger I’ve ever had. The cheese game was strong and the whisky was really good. Awesome service too.
I. C.
Great setting, huge range of beers n whiskeys, very generous portions of beef in Reuben sandwich and Philly cheesesteak makes it good value. Observant, efficient table service - nice for a change! 12.15pm was a nice time to arrive.
However, we found the meat tasted the same in both - cooked to a beautiful doneness but lacking the smoked and spiced pastrami flavour we expect in a Reuben, and the cheesesteak was not what we expected with the name. (Try East Village for a more authentic Reuben comparison, although that's more pricey).
Their fries - so tasty - even though I usually don't like skinny fries, but I would eat these any day thanks to their seasoning!
We have to come back and try the huge range of other things, but just on those two items, it was ok. Ribs and wings, cheeseburger up next!
P.S. Weekends free 3 hr parking 2 mins walk away in His Majesty's CPP
M. F.
Tried the all star plate to try and taste everything, and I will be back. The pork was beautiful and the ribs were perfect. The range of whiskeys is unbelievable, anyone that likes good bourbon will be right at home here.
I. D.
It's much better now you are able to book for two people.
Food is well priced and consistently delicious. Can recommend the beef short rib, link, Brussel sprouts and any of the salads. Love the idea of sharing.
Excellent independent beer options.
Friendly staff.
What more could one hungry and thirsty soul want?
p. r.
Had to get a quick meal and went to try old faithful for the first time! Katie was an awesome foh staff full of energy, good vibes and was very informative! She helped us throughout our whole meal and had an eye to detail! The foood was soooooo bomb! Lamb ribs and iverson + mac and cheese were so filling for our yummy stomachs! We left happy and cant wait to come back! Great service and great food! Such a great chill spot for good times!
M. M.
The service was amazing!, tasty food and good prices(well I didn't pay anything it was my birthday 😂) I liked the atmosphere
C. P.
Pulled pork burger was just delicious! Seriously good range of craft beers on tap too 👍🏼
M. S.
This place is awesome. We got the platter which was a selection of brisket, smoked ham, buffalo wings and chilli sausage with a side of beans, slaw and mac n' cheese. Washed down with an accompanying whisky named Boulevardier of Broken Dreams it was amazing and full of flavour. The beer and whiskey selection is #Neklevel and hard to beat. Good family sized tables too. Highly recommended.
A. W.
Food was incredible and service was pretty fantastic too. Will definitely be going back and taking friends with us.
R. T.
The meat was delish! Unfortunately I'm not big on all meals being served on a single tray which requires us to seperate ourselves to plate. Also the menu could use a bit more detail as first timers wouldn't know what was in some of the meals without asking
B. G.
This place us cery small but I tell u what the customer service was great lovely people and the food was to die for I would recommend this place we tried the unusual alcoholic they weren't too goid and I loved the atmosphere
H. P.
Food was amazing. Highly recommend.
Great range of beers & cocktails.
If you love craft beers and smoked meats. It’s a win
A. B.
Came for lunch, beers were a bit expensive and food only came 40mins. We were told there was a long wait, however food came to the table next to ours who came later than we did. Order served also was missing one of the items we had asked for. Staff rectified the situation but it kinda was a bad experience. Hopefully service improves
T. B.
Good Texas style BBQ in Perth. Food was good, but a little pricey. Service was a little slow. I was alone, and ended up forgotten about. My server checked in on me once, and then I had to ask another server for a drink refill. At the end of my meal I waited for the check and finally went up to the bar to pay. Overall food is good, service was nothing great but then again this was only one experience. If I'm ever back in Perth I'll give them another go.
S. R.
Food is amazing, prices are very reasonable, drinks are delicious, atmosphere is amazing. Heading here is a must.
N. J.
The food and booze was decent as always but the service was terrible. We waited ages to get served and they forgot our drinks multiple times.
D. C.
Food and service was excellent! The lamb ribs were a standout dish, while the pork ribs were delightfully smokey and tender. Corn bread was tasty, and the jalapenos were very hot! Special mention for the service which was friendly and very quick.
J.
Tried the hot dog on my most recent visit and must say it was really really good. It came with a smoked cheese kransky sausage fully loaded with cheese bacon and pulled pork on a pretzel bun. Highly recommended if you're craving hot dogs as it stands out from what most places are offering.
B. H.
Came to try Tusk, Feral Brewing's limited release beer. Had a really tasty lunch to go with it! Service was quick and friendly despite being quite busy on a Friday for lunch. Great variety of beer, both packaged and on tap, and lots of other drinks too.
T.
We got there late one night and the food definitely needed to be improved. Ribs had no meat, brisket was dry but the fried chicken wings were good. Nivw selection of beer n booze.
M. C. H.
I was feeling very homesick on the 4th of July...being an American living in Perth. Then I heard Old Faithful Bar and BBQ was having a little nod of appreciation to the Americans with some specials on food and drinks. Walked in to see red white and blue streamers and balloons. And to top it off, my food arrived with a lot sparkler! Thanks guys. Took a little sting off the day and the meal was Great!
K. B.
Great atmosphere and drinks. No bookings so get there early! Look at menu before you go, if you enjoy that type of food you will love it, if not just go for drinks
C. V.
Always tasty food, nice staff and a good selection of beers.
P. C. (.
Outstanding atmosphere. Very friendly bar staff and the food is to die for. Great range of craft beers. I recommend the sours and dark ales on draft or the sours in cans. My go to place in Perth.
D. M.
get experience great food, we got the set menu $45 between 6 of us. more than enough food. other than having our seat arrangement more around to fit others on our table it was great
J. E.
Upgrading my review from my first experience, where we were turned away for not having a reservation despite the place being empty.
Second experience we booked and got a table for two on a high table which is great for a snack and a drink, but not what you want when eating a big dinner. They may wish to rethink their seating plan as the majority of tables sit 8-10 and were all empty when we came. Management could fit in plenty more tables of 4 instead, which may be a more ideal table format.
The overall atmosphere is good but the music doesn’t bode well with the theme at all. Cheesy retro music in a sophisticated restaurant, is like cheese and chalk. Hate, hate, hate.
The drink selection is wonderful and fits into the theme of a bbq bar perfectly. Plenty of the latest big name craft beers on menu such as rocky ridge, feral, beer farm, cheeky monkey etc.
Getting to the food - We tried an array of bbq meats including the BBQ chicken, Black Angus skirt, beef cheek, pulled pork and beef brisket. Our sides consisted of Fried Jalapeños and Fried smokey potatoes with blue cheese, maple bacon and coriander.
All of the meats were cooked to perfection, with subtle smokey flavours throughout. The highlight by far was the BBQ chicken which was smokey, succulent and topped with a brilliant accompanying sauce.
The sides were lacking. There was a lot of deep fried jalapeños, far too many for 2 people. They were really watery and the flavour was boring. The fried potatoes were worse, missing most of their key ingredients - the potatoes were not smokey, there was no blue cheese and flat leaf parsley, in lieu of coriander. Whilst the potatoes were nice on their own, it was disappointing to think what might have been.
With a few tweaks, I believe this restaurant is capable of big things... but perhaps not yet.
R. B.
Share platter enormous.
Food was to die for.
Even let us bring a birthday cake, supplying plates and candles.
Excellent value
M. C.
From the moment you set foot inside and smell the smoky goodness you know you're in for a good feed.
Absolutely brilliant lunch and a great beer menu. Being a bit of a beer head I'd like a bigger menu, but hey, I'm there for the meat!!
G. B.
Great service recovery. Had been wanting to go here for quite a while as it had a great reputation for awesome ribs. We were less than impressed with our initial order - rack of pork ribs. Dry, chewy and sinew-y. I was already writing the review in my head. When the wait staff asked how it was we politely said it wasn't great and we were disappointed, and gave the reasons. She returned with a new rack and they were FANTASTIC! So maybe we got a bad batch. I appreciated the way they took the feedback and then took steps to rectify to make sure we were satisfied. That is pretty rare in Perth these days. Good on you Old Faithful. We'll be back.
T. K.
Amazing food, seriously nothing compares , fantastic service by the staff , friendly and welcoming , thanks so much.
N. D.
Really good American barbeque and great beer. There's not much else to describe this place. I highly recommend.
A. S.
We had so much fun at our boys’ lunch here. Old Faithful has an extensive and interesting craft beer list sourced both locally and around the world. Their “All you can BBQ” option on their menu is an absolute must to get to experience everything they offer. If you are a BBQ fan, this is the place to go in Perth. Thank you Old Faithful !
T. R.
American barbecue and American whisky. Good range of both, coupled with some good beer choices and live feeds to untapped checking on the digital menu screens.
I really like this place, I finally got to try the 10yo Widow Jane bourbon without needing to commit to buying a bottle. Now I *will* buy a bottle.
Great bar, I'll be back next time I'm in Perth
D. J.
Brisket was a let down tonight but other than that they delivered some of the best bbq in perth..especially the short rib and pulled pork (hands down the best I've had) The cheesecake was superb to.
D. A. T.
Wonderful atmosphere, exceptional food and service. Phenomenal I look forward to coming back. Love your use of acidic elements to cut through normally fatty stodgy food. Thank you so much.
A. M.
The food is impeccable, accompanied with a huge range of drinks. Staff are super friendly too.
L. G. L.
Amazing place. Recommended by a friend who comes to Perth a bit. Came here after a massive work day and what a joint!! We had the wings which were so great. The brisket was delish and the beef cheek was so flavoursome and rich. The beers were amazing and the cocktails were Yummo. I will definitely be recommending Old Faithful to anyone heading west. Love finding a gem like this on work trips. Keep up the great work fellas.
E. D.
The MVP platter gave a nice variety of the offerings here - Southern fried chicken, beef brisket, smoky lamb ribs and pulled pork were great but honestly the mac & cheese is even more of a stand out. Good beer prices during happy hour and a relaxed vibe. Would like to come back to try the burnt ends with lime sauce.
H. A.
I must have been a carnivore in a past life because I love meat! This place is just the place for that. After my recent trip across USA I didn't have high expectations for a BBQ place here in Perth, never the less it was a decent meal. I think it could have been heated up a little more and the Brisket was not quite there yet, needed to be done "low and slow"-er as some of the fat hadn't rendered. Menu could be a bit clearer as it's kinda hard to guage how much your ordering, maybe more pre-selected options, that way you won't surprise us with hefty bill.
C. L.
Delicious food, great staff, decent vegetarian options. Love the changing selection of craft beer!
A. F.
Absolutely stuffed. Nicest staff in town. Excellent service. Ordered heaps of small plates and loved every single one. Very hard to pick a favorite. This is a must try!!!
E. Y.
Always a great experience at Old Faithful! Delicious food and good sized portions!
A. K.
Well worth the wait. We shared an MVP platter and extra sides between 2 people and left very full and very happy. Great drinks selection. Would love to come back.
G. D.
Great BBQ, on point beer selection (sometimes lacks variety with too many IPAs and Pale Ales) and can be hard to get in as it's so busy!
M. S.
My burger was great. The other food options looked great too...
J. C.
From start to finish this was a great dining experience. We were greeted outside by a friendly gentleman and promptly seated. There were heaps of staff everywhere which made ordering food and drinks easy and quick. We order a platter for 2 for my wife and I, and our 7 year olds eyes lit up when he saw a bucket of bacon on the menu. All meals and drinks are well priced. Highly recommend going here, as a chef myself believe me when I say, this is how a well oiled hospitality machine works. Oustanding experience. Thank you to all the staff.
T. Y.
Yummy BBQ and beers 🍺 Note to establishment, if customer orders a smallish quantity (Eg. 4 items) use a smaller tray 😁😆
K. M.
Incredible food, great atmosphere, quick service.
Always a delight dining at Old Faithful. The food is incredible as always and the changing tap selection always provides great tasting opportunities for new and exciting beers.
Management appears to have recently changed, and as such the menu has been trimmed down and refreshed. Some welcome new editions such as a bucket of bacon went down a treat, but missing favourites like the beans and 90c wings will be dearly missed.
Pour out one star for our missing homies - RIP the beans. Nonetheless, what remains will still blow you away.
R. D. R.
We had the meat plate and loved it!! Pulled pork was a little dry but the rest was perfect
J. W.
Prices of craft beers arnt true prices $32 a pint $15 on advertising, nice drop but who wants to walk in and double your price! False advertising if you ask me. Bad form, however nice drop but definitely wont be back!
G. W.
Not exactly to my taste, very smokey and very earthy, but a sure fire hit for those who love very high quality meat with that intense smokey flavour. Mac and cheese is a bit of a miss though.
K. C.
Had an Unfaithful Reuben Sandwich and fries and a side of cornbread. Very tasty. I'm quite a fan of Reuben Sandwiches, so I really enjoyed their take on it using Brisket.
J. D.
Really chill place and the service was excellent. The staff were very helpful and they looked after us well.
K. P.
Good food and plenty choise of beer
M. O.
Food is fantastic, love the decor, very relaxed atmosphere.
R. S.
Good food and service. Great place to have a few drinks, something to eat and catchup with friends
M. W.
Nice atmosphere. Good food. Some snacks are a bit too greasy. Nice drinks. Great location.
E. W.
Omg everything we had here was absolutely divine! Cannot get over how delicious the brussel sprouts were
S. R.
Absolutely lovely slow cooked meats! Meat is to die for and just wants you wanting more and more.
Their tap beers are a lovely match for the meat that have on offer.
They also have daily specials (see photo provided) and other items on the menu.
Their hot sauce certainly lives up to its name and isn’t for the faint hearted, that’s for sure!
Learnt that the hard way...
B. R.
Service was great food was amazing, came fast like police in white neighbourhoods
A. B.
Great food, cocktails and beers!
My wife and I walked in without a booking on a busy Friday night, no dramas they had a high top table near the window.
Service was great, all smiles and super helpful.
I’ve been here a few times now and it doesn’t disappoint!
Highly recommend this joint for bbq goodness and great atmosphere.
Keep up the good work team!
F. E.
Good ol American style bbq ribs and brisket with a pint of beer. Brilliant!
H. •.
Nice and cozy place with awesome American imported drinks. But ribs are not definitely the best; way salty and kind of dry. 6 out of 10 for me.
L. R.
I've never been here before but I will definitely be back. The food was amazing, service was wonderful. We were well looked after by Madison, she always had a smile and was checking up on us to make sure we were all okay. The atmosphere and vibe was great, everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves. My group and i will definitely be back soon.
J. W.
Good BBQ for Perth, but still has plenty of room for improvement. Brisket was overcooked, not tender enough and lacking taste. I asked the chef how long they smoke it for and he replied 14 hours. Definitely too long in my experience. Lamb ribs were disappointing. Too much fat, would be better off selling cutlets. Pulled pork was amazing however, with the perfect amount of sauce drizzled on top. Burnt ends were a great add on to our platter, tender, with a delicious gravy. The short rib too was done well. Maybe slightly overcooked but still kept its flavour.
Overall a decent meal but I think if the chef's had the opportunity to experience authentic Texan bbq, they'd pick up a thing or two and go from good to great.
p. w.
For the most part it was good, if you're looking for a good BBQ feed and a very good selection of drinks to help wash it down it's a good place to go.
Fremantle Old Faithful was the first place I went and it was amazing, this wasn't quite as good sorry.
J. F.
Staff can be a little pretentious at times, some even forgetting that they are paid to be there perhaps. Food is always great and the beer selection on tap is worth the price of admission alone.
MEAT!!
S. D.
Epic food, great flavours, loud atmosphere
B. R.
Went there last night, service was excellent and pretty much all the food was super tasty. We more or less created our own platter which is always exciting. Brisket and the short rib were to die for, but the pork ribs were way off. Could taste the dirty smoke. Like it was over smoked, or the ribs were put in the smoker before anything had burned off properly.
Also the beers are crazy expensive, no options for the people that enjoy just a regular beer.
In saying that this is the 2nd time I've been here and if I'm in the city and hungry it'd probably still be one of my first choices to dine. The staff all seemed super happy to be at work, including the chefs. Anyone who works in hospitality knows that's rare lol.
m. m.
Meat meat and more meat, tasty offerings. Nice boutique ale options to compliment the food.
H. P.
Really great food and the staff are excellent. I've been here a few times and love the meat selections. Had a burger most recently which was a little oily for my taste but it was still delicious.
h. l.
Highly recommend this bar! Food, drink and service are all top notch. Must try the beef ribs, potato, sprouts and cauliflower!
R. W.
Love the vibes and the cocktails. Must come back for their food, looks hearty and delicious!
B. C.
Hands down the best cheeseburger I've ever eaten.
Great selection of craft beers and ciders
Friendly staff and excellent service.
Very cool location.
If you like beers and burgers in a great place, look no further.
S. L.
Fantastic beer selection and food. Warm and cosy feel. A great place to meet up with friends or just to take the kids.
T. B.
An amazing selection of craft beers on tap & some delicious food to go along with it.
It can be a little pricey but it is obvious that the quality of the food and service is reflected in that price.
The only downside is that it can get quite loud in the venue and some of the smaller tables are pretty cramped, especially when trying to order several dishes
K. D.
The food was outstanding, staff so attentive and explained the menu with out being asked. Halopeno poppers, burgers, ribs cooked to perfection and a nice selection of boutique and traditional beers and share platters. Ambience in abundance..bloody well done!
C. L.
Drawn in by mouthwatering smells & wasn't let down! Will definitely be going back!
D. P.
Down to earth venue in a historic King St building with awesome food and friendly staff. Good selection of craft beers on tap and rare whiskeys behind the bar.
The amount of work that goes into preparing the house smoked meats and hearty menu reflects great value for money.
I’ll keep going back as long as they keep doing what they doing!
Favourite dishes: lamb ribs, beef short-rib and the fried brussel sprouts. All winners.
K. M.
Great service great food great selection of booze the hottest jalapeno poppers every
S. S.
Good food, good prices, good service. Let down by overly loud music which seemed a poor match for patronage type.
e. L.
Like the place, nice to chill with mates. The food is good. Price wise it is not that bad. Would like to go back here. Love a good customer service.
c.
The best chips, so crunchy, so delicious., and also the sandwiches. Really nice place.
R. H.
Yum! Food is so good. Flavourful. Loved the lemon pepper chicken and the sprouts. Good atmosphere and food. Can get busy though we always get a table.
D. C.
Had an amazing night here with mates! Friendly and attentive staff, the food was absolutely delicious and we were taken care of by the most amazing manager, Maddie, who made the night even better by her conscious efforts to take care of us! Would definitely recommend to family and friends! Will be back!
R. J. C.
Really nice place, their platters are the best and always gratefully surprised by their beer quality!
L. M.
Friendly hostess staff, attentive manager - Maddi ensured the frantic evening ran smoothly and efficiently, fun atmosphere, and generously portioned fabulous tasting food.
Enjoyable dining experience with friends.
Will definitely be coming back.
E. d. J.
Very nice bar and very friendly staff, good deals with happy hour. I would not recommend the Very Hot Chicken Wings, even if you like spicy food. My mouth was on fire for at least 30 minutes, ha. Overall an awesome place and good vibes!
M. C.
Really nice food and service, but the acoustics are a little awkward when it's busy. Their description of which foods are gluten free (or their staff's training regarding such, as staff advice & the menu contradict each other), could use a little work. All in all it's a great place to visit. The meats are always beautifully cooked and there is a good variety to choose from.
D. L.
Good beer selection, quality eats!!
D. W.
The platter for 1 was easily enough for 2 guys to eat and feel full afterwards.
H. C.
Stop reading reviews! If you love your meats, then grab your mates (or your SO) and enjoy their platters!
M. V.
Great food and service. Portions are huge. Beer tastes really really good, they have 16 on tap. Will return. Definitely try this place, very nice.
J. C.
Fantastic food with deliciously tender and juicy meats and inventive ways to lift vegetables into the spotlight. An awesome selection of beers catering to today's broad range of tastes. All this served together in a European style beer hall for a rowdy communal atmosphere. I recommend at least four friends and ordering food as a group as ordering individually can get a little pricey.
B. H. G.
Have only been once and enjoyed it. Came here with a group of friends so we were able to try a few things. I thought the majority of food was pretty good but the beef short rib was the star in my opinion. The fried lamb was a bit tough as i believe it was fried a tad too long but still tasty.
The beer list was very impressive too, not your usual mainstream beers. I'd recommend coming here just for the beer but then if you are there may as well get some foods to eats with your beer.
G. A.
Amazing bbq food.
Highly recommend
J. R.
Amazing experience here! Best meat in Perth, the food just melts in your mouth and the drinks available are very nice too! Definitely can recommend to a couple looking for a night out for a simple BBQ classic and a good drink 👌🏻
M. H.
Great venue, great service and sensational beers & food! Will definitely come back here!
M. S.
Great food and I found the staff very personable even during the peak hour on a weeknight I showed up. Loss of one star because the beef brisket was served cold, and was quite dry. I feel that a bbq restaurant should pride itself on it's brisket as a staple of the menu, so that was a bit of a fail. Otherwise the food and ambiance was great and I would return.
S. L. P.
Lovely food, very noisy. Needs some thing to absorb the sound so I didn't have to shout at the person next to me. My favorites of the $49 menu were the Brussels sprouts and the potatoes! The meats were great, and there was heaps of food.
C. V. W.
Meat meat. More than you can eat. Huge variety of craft beer. Loved the venue. Service was a bit slow.
M. J.
Amazing ribs and steak not to mention all of the extras including barbecue chicken wings which were also to die for. Highly recommended and also a great range of beer and wine.
A. W.
Do you think that you might feel like a little slow cooked smoked meat for dinner tonight ? Well I did and so glad that I decided to take a short stroll to king St, Perth where you will find delicious American BBQ and icy cold ale. A tasty Gin concoction to start with while deciding, Beef Short Rib - the Delicate Smokey bbq flavour, with the meat just clinging to the bone was perfect, a side of house rub dusted shoestring fries completed my meal, let’s not forget a pint of Sly Fox pale ale to wash it all down with. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, great service and ambience are a bonus. A must visit on your list when your in the city. 👍🏼
J. L.
Great size meals and amazing drinks!
M. B.
Great BBQ, beers on tap and whiskeys. What else could you want?
K. Y.
Good drinks.. chill spot.. great service!
B. S.
12/10 ! Food is phenomenal, awesome selection. Great beers always on tap and a fun cocktail selection. Amazing service! Madi the Manager is always so lovely!
J. C.
Great food, fast and friendly service. Go for the meat platter if you're hungry!
G. K.
Absolutely love the food here. Good serving sizes and value for money. Staff are efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. This is one of our regular stops when we're in the city. A lot of the dishes can be spicy, if that's not your thing, the staff are great with offering alternatives or turning down the spiciness on a particular order. Can't speak highly enough of Old Faithful.
M. S.
Nice old style bar in Kings St...really good burgers n chips are good too
T. M.
Great American style BBQ and a good rotating range of beers. It can get a bit busy but usually worth the wait. Food is best shared, it all comes out on a tray and you just pick at what you want.
The staff are really nice making the whole place one of my favourite in the CBD.
A. M.
Used to live in Texas. One thing I really miss is the BBQ. I head to Old Faithfull from time to time to satisfy that craving! It serves up some great food and cold beer. Can be a little loud when busy.
T. j.
Great range of local beers! Good food and friendly staff..
K. M.
The platter was really good. I was dubious about the brussel sprouts but hot diggity I was converted. The selection of meats was very good, maybe could have been a slightly bigger portion for two guys but overall very good. Will have again.
P. O.
A fantastic place in the heart of Perth City. I have been coming here for years and it never dissapointed. Choice of some seriously good craft beer and a decent range of some of the best meats & hearty food in town so you never leave hungry. The pork belly here is next level!! Highly recommend for either a cheeky drink or getting the crew together for a great feed. 👍
P.
The food is tasty and served in generous sizes, also the service is amazing. Also I recently found a discrepancy in my bill after leaving and contacted Old Faithful to look into it. They looked into the issue and resolved it satisfactorily. I will keep coming back for more on my Friday work lunch breaks :)
A. B.
Arrived at Old Faithful at 11pm. Kitchen was closed but the waitress allowed us to make an order. The food - blue cheese bacon maple potatoes and fries were great. Will come again!
B. L.
Hands down best Brussels sprouts I’ve had. Incredibly friendly, helpful bar staff. Great food, awesome range of beers. Can’t go there often enough.
D. M.
What a place! Amazing food. I highly recommend going in a group and getting the BBQ feast, try it all! There is also a very comprehensive bar with a great selection of spirits and beers. Do yourself a favor and book now.
D.
Great service. Tender amazing meats! Can't ask for more. Book in advance!
M. D.
Great food! Mixed service. Some of the people working were really nice. Some of them seemed to actively dislike having to deal with people.
But the food was sooo good. The drinks were amazing and well priced. Will definitely be back.
T. D.
Super friendly staff. Very welcoming. Seating and bar are not the most comfortable but atmosphere and food make up for that. We had pork belly, brisket, broccoli salad and a coleslaw salad which was really really yummy. Mac and cheese and the loaded fries were good for our vegetarian friends
I. R.
Great food and atmosphere. One of the few places that I leave feeling satisfied and well fed. Prices are decent and good quality drinks. Going back regularly.
G. T.
It's a nice American style BBQ. Smokey briskets and other awesome tasting meats. The place is open again (post COVID19 lockdown and people are out again. Great location and friendly staff. Worth giving it a try.
r. b.
So close to 5/5 we'll call it 5 stars.
Last time I was here I said I would come back for the brussel sprouts alone. If you haven't tried them, you are missing out!
Wed and Thurs are 10 buck negroni nights. I really enjoyed negroni night. It would have been beer night, but the best way to enjoy the all in platter is with as much stomach space as possible. There's more served than one could eat.
Service was good, staff were pleasant. Great night. Come in early - people were waiting before we left.
C. D.
Was walking past and couldn't resist dropping in for a drink.
Great selection of scotch to suit all price ranges.
Didn't have a meal on this visit but looking at the menu I be back to choose off the extensive BBQ options available that can be finished off with some modern interpretations of traditional desserts.
Give it a go!
m. g.
Second visit in a fortnight. Both times food was divine and the craft beers on tap were exceptional. Friendly staff who add a touch of class and professional demeanour in their attention to each customer. Great atmosphere whether you visit on a cold winters night on the weekend or midweek. Try the kimchi beef burger, it will blow your mind.
P. W.
Awesome staff and great atmosphere. The food is outstanding and this place is a meat lovers paradise. The selection of drinks could keep you going for a month or more. A great place to hang out with a friend. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
S. S.
Chose the Old Faithful due to all the 5 star reviews I saw. Chose not to book a table as the website states "We strongly encourage walk-ins". I strongly encourage booking a table if you wish to receive good service. Food was great, and delicious. Lovely girl behind the bar with dimple piercings definitely kept us feeling welcome. The rest, not so much.
V. V.
I really wanted to like this place a lot but while the meats should've been the star dishes they weren't.
We got the burnt ends, brisket, chicken wings, lamb ribs and a few side dishes.
The brisket I found was a bit bland and just slabs of meat. They didn't really melt in your mouth or fall apart like brisket it meant to.
The lamb ribs weren't bad though! They were juicy and fatty but the outside coating was a tiny bit dry.
Our group just found that the meats were pretty average. That being said we really liked the side dishes! I would definately reccomend the brussel sprouts and cauliflower.
The service was very good. We had a lovely waiter that tried her best to accommodate any requests we had.
F. M.
One of the best bbq place i've been so far, the sharing plate included ribs, pork belly, chicken and a nice beef cut, very tender and tasty.
Our waiter was on point as well.
K. W.
Heard about this place, had a wonderful night at this place for a chill and hangout. Order their famous pork ribs BBQ platter serve with Wagyu beef so tender and juicy, simply awesome and delicious. They hard also grilled chicken chop with serving of authentic house sauce and fresh bacons simply great with sautéed vegetables and green peas and of course tasty nachos and cheesy corns to die for. An awesome place to have.
P. D.
Wow I devoured the most delicious lamb cutlets ever. What surprised me was the fat had such a brilliant flavor and texture. And the chicken was really good too. My wife wants me to be a vegan but after tasting that lamb I have my doubts!
P. C.
Great food, wonderfully priced, lovely staff and great drink options
T. K.
I had a Reuben sandwich. It was the best sandwich ever.
G. D.
Great beer!
Expensive prices (very!) for beer.
"Interesting" (British) customer service.
The manager couldn't decide if we were paying or if it was part of the group tab.
Admittedly the beers are "craft" and some are quite unique, but they are way over their price point given the Perhaps beer market. If you think the Belgian Beer Cafe is a bit pricey, then guess again, or visit Old Faithful. Sorry!
M.
Food was ok but overpriced,$60 pp for a plate of BBQ ,come on!
We had a group of 7 and paid $430 for 3 share plates.wouldnt be in rush to go back.
J. S.
Only the 2nd time I have been to an American bbq restaurant in Perth and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Nice vibe to the well presented premises, washroom facilities clean and above all the food was fantastic. Wait staff friendly and attentive. Definitely will return.
H. H. C.
Good value for money. Great food and the beer is so cold and chill too good
R. R.
One of the best BBQ restaurants in Perth. Beef brisket is off the chain amazing! Take the advice of the staff to get your portions right. Great drinks selection too!
D. L.
Food was fantastic, beverages reasonable price. While service was prompt and staff friendly, when in a large group they need to consider how much you can fit on one table. We was a party of 12 all with drinks, the amount of food put on the table left no room for plates and drinks so we was eating off our laps and drinks on the benches.
O. B.
This is an odd place. It has friendly staff, a massive Whiskey and Scotch selection and a large variety of other forms of alcoholic intoxication. To give you a sense of proportion, there were if I recall correctly six or so pages of alcohol and one page of food, didn't spot any soft drinks.
Service was prompt though delivery from the kitchen was not quite that fast. Food was worth waiting for and offered lots of interesting variety, Fried Brussels Sprouts, Collared Greens, Smoked Cauliflower were all very interesting flavours.
The menu is extremely meat heavy, so expect to get a week's worth of protein in one sitting. Lots of flavour, generous serve, all lovely.
The noise levels were high, poor sound dampening and lots of hip surface to help echo each voice around the place.
Seating was metal framed wooden benches. Not conducive to comfort. Our table of eight required some interesting contortion for those at the end to sit and reach the table.
Meals were ordered separately - as in, we each ordered our meal, rather than an all in BBQ - and arrived on two trays, a meat tray and a veggie tray. All the meat just on a tray. Veggies were in cardboard boxes. It was interesting to attempt to find the bits we ordered. Would have been good to know this going in. I never did get more than a single bite of what I think was the chicken I ordered.
Bookings were interesting as well. I phoned to book a table a week out, was insistently quizzed for a first and last name and finally completed the call. A few days later I needed to add two to the table, phoned again and left a message on voicemail. No confirmation. I sent a follow-up SMS the next day, still no confirmation. Got there early on the day in case there were any issues, but all seemed to have gotten to the right person. Confirmation would have been appreciated.
Overall it was an interesting experience. Will need to consider how best to order next time.
R. G.
Slow cooked meats combined with an impressive tap list = happiness!
I had brisket, chicken wings, fried potatoes and fried jalapenos, all very good.
On the beer side of things, the focus seemed to be Australian independent breweries, 14-16 taps from memory. Enough to keep seasoned beer drinkers busy ;)
L. J.
Literally the best feed you can get in Perth. Amazing tap selection and insane food.
A. M.
Used to live in Texas. One thing I really miss is the BBQ. I head to Old Faithfull from time to time to satisfy that craving! It serves up some great food and cold beer. Can be a little loud when busy.
R. J.
Loved it, everything was tasty and the service was great.
M. J.
Amazing ribs and steak not to mention all of the extras including barbecue chicken wings which were also to die for. Highly recommended and also a great range of beer and wine.
B. R.
Went there last night, service was excellent and pretty much all the food was super tasty. We more or less created our own platter which is always exciting. Brisket and the short rib were to die for, but the pork ribs were way off. Could …
D. K.
Great meat, great drink options, great service, what more can I say it was great
R. M.
Amazing food
J. H.
Amazing range of drinks, great vibe and the food is absolute barbeque perfection.
R. B.
Food here is unbelievable. Beer selection is spot on and great variety
B. r.
Great food, quick service, great selection of drinks what more can you ask for.
T. K.
Friendly staff and great lively atmosphere - the foid is not quite up to scratch though. The $45 a head share platter is quantity and not necessarily quality. Way to much food guys. Hot link was great - ribs were the worst i have had - chewy and certainly not fall of the bone. This should not happen at a bbq place. The other meats were good and flavoursome but if the ribs make up more than half the meal its disappointing.
The sides were okay but it really needs something to cut through the heaviness of the meal, most of it is more meat and heavy - even the coleslaw. Great concept but you need to balance the food better
S. C.
Didn't think the ribs were that tender but I appreciated the fact they were not over loaded with sticky sauces. The beef cheek was very nice. Great whiskey selection and good service
A. K.
Very interesting (different) selection of nice beers here. I learned that the first time I went in. What I was totally ignorant of, until my last visit, was the superb food. The rack of ribs was delicious, as you might expect, but the accompanying salads and veg (fried brussel sprouts I think) were beyond amazing.
T. E. C. H.
This place is awesome. Good beers, food is packed with flavour, their homemade BBQ sauce is to die for and best of all, it's really good value.
HUGE thumbs up.
I'm going again tonight and I am literally drooling at the thought. Gotta love that smoked meat!
P. L.
Great burgers and many great options for beers 🍺
D. L. G.
Amazing food, beer and friendly, smiling staff. Great music in the background, Soundgarden, Iggy and the Stooges, Queens of the Stone Age. Just for that you should get 6 stars
R. H.
This is one of the best American BBQ's I have ever been to. Delicious ribs, wings, sides and the cheese kransky (while peppered with chilli) is absolutely amazing. We went as a group and got the $45 per head deal. Astounding value! The range of drinks here is also brilliant, though prices are similar to what you'd pay in any nearby venue that generally means they're inflated and expensive for drinks.
I will be going here again and soon!
D. D. C.
Next level BBQ. Best ribs in Perth in a friendly environment. Succulent meat - even the Burnt Ends are juicy - all served with a modern approach and matching sides. Good range of craft beers and wines including imported reds by the glass. Bring a cushion.
A. K. (.
Have a hankering for American style barbecue set in a friendly pub atmosphere? Old Faithful Bar & BBQ will more than satisfy your carnivore cravings. A menu that includes slow cooked brisket, pork and lamb ribs, brisket burnt ends it has all of the greats you expect. I had the half rack of pork ribs, juicy, tangy bbq coated smoky ribs accompanied by roasted smoky cauliflower and deep fried brusselssprouts. The meat wad delicious but the surprise hit for me was the vegetable sides. both had the right balance of sweet, savoury smokiness with the nutty almonds balancing out the dishes. I also had a great blood orange margherita that wad a perfect accompaniment. Great bbq. friendly staff and a big beer selection too. highly recommended if youre in Perth CBD
C. G.
My husband and I were greeted by a friendly waitress and had us sit wherever we wanted even without a booking. Took our orders shortly after but came back three separate times to tell us that the beer, the steak sandwich and the ribs we ordered were all unavailable! The third time she came back, I honestly thought they were joking or something. She also suggested we order the pork sandwich in place of the steak as it's very similar! In what world are they similar, seriously? I wish they were more upfront about which items in the menu were unavailable, especially if people only have an hour for lunch. I mean they took the time to explain the specials, so not sure why that's such a hard thing to do.
N. G.
Had a great time at Old Faithful with friends recently. Atmosphere was amazing as well as the service. Highly recommend the burgers! Will be back very soon!
P. D.
Best Ribs I've had in Perth! Loaded chips, beef cheeks!!!! AWESOME! Heaps of food for the $45 share option (bit of everything). Great service and very reasonable menu prices and great drink options.
z. m.
Foods were awesome.
We ordered a platter for 1 (which was a lot for me),
Beef steaks: awesome
And most amasing one: chicken wings ♡
J. B. (.
Best American bbq style food in Perth! Always greeted by great customer service.. Not to mention their range of beers & spirits! 10/10
V. S.
Lamb ribs and loaded fries were fantastic. Beef brisket was a little dry for my liking. Overall was a great meal and pleasant environment
r. l.
Ordered the "for 2 plater" and pork ribs, it was great only thing is beef brisket was a bit dry and not juicy, same for chicken wings.
H. U.
The brisket and the ribs were a bit dry. Wish it was as good as it looked. Had high expectations I guess. Maybe it was just my unlucky day.
L. S.
Fab service from Dave, he was extremely knowledgeable on everything and specifically the whiskey! The beef short rib and hot link wsere spot on! We'll be back!
I. D. E. H. a. B.
Best ribs. Perfect date spot as well
B. W.
Still one of the best BBQ joints in town, extra points for the amazing beer selection.
G. M.
Good food, nice setting, good drinks... Although the menu basically has nothing for anyone who isn't keen on splurging on a really high fat meal. Its either all the way or go hungry, nothing in between, which is a bit of a shame if you just want something light for a change.
C. N.
Went to Old Faithful Bar and BBQ last night and have to say has been the best american BBQ I’ve had so far in Perth! The meats thatbwebchose were great (but the Pig Belly was my favourite!) and the sides we had were yum! The Mac and cheese was probably the best I’ve had in Perth and the fried potato’s with blue cheese was delicious too. Will definitely be back
F. R.
Went with friends. Service ok. Food quite nice. Meat was probably a bit dry. Crunchy potatoes and coleslaw were fabulous. Hipster hangout so for an old duck like me the benches were too hard. Didn't serve coffee. I found this ludicrous. I was the only non alco drinker so thought maybe the milkshake would be great. $15.00 for a standard vanilla malt milkshake! Ripped off!
B. M.
Ordered an assortment of meats and sides to share and wasn't disappointed. Only one meat not to my taste and all the plates were empty and stomachs full at the end.
A good evening out with great company.
G. J.
Great food and service. Excellent craft beers. Best brussel sprouts EVER. Seriously even if you don't like Brussel sprouts... 😆
I. F.
We had great service, food was awesome, the ribs and brisket were bang on and a good menu, great flavours, huge range of beers, whiskeys etc Would highly recommend
J. Z.
We have come here 3 times now and omg its soooooo good. We had the spice garden cocktail and our meal we had chicken wings, jalapeño popper, loaded fries and I highly recommend the Brussel sprouts I seriously don’t know what they do to them but man they tasted so good 😊.
Staff are friendly, you must try this place can’t wait to go back 👌
A. C.
Hipster Heaven... unlike their web page description of "relaxed and friendly service" we experienced slow service at bar and table. probably due to over booking/under staffing, and manager on the night had no clue. Whilst most of the food was OK waitress was too busy/stressed to explain menu items clearly so we ended up with a couple of dishes we probably wouldnt have ordered had we known they were fundamentally different to our expectation - eg the Pig Belly is definitely NOT like "Pork Belly".
S. O.
Fantastic food. Best BBQ I've had in Perth. Heaps of sides to choose from.
P. D.
The team were under the pump tonight. Fryers broken, staff away....
they proved themselves that they are more than the sum of their parts
Great service, great food, good Ol’ Southern hospitality.
We will be back again and again ...
Thank you For pulling out the stops and making us feel special
Dr Phil
N. D.
Great place for a bite to eat (if your a meat lover). Also have a great range of beers both on tap and canned. Also, they now take bookings, which was my only issue with the place!
C. C.
Love love love the food here! Excellent drinks menu, my partner loves the rotation of craft beer on tap. Amazing staff, always leave here happy customers 🙂
K. J.
Such good food and atmosphere in this place! The ribs are the main thing and best food on the menu, but defiantely try the chicken. Been here a few times for the arbitrary boys lunch on a friday. The bar is pretty expensive though so I wouldn't stay for the drinks.
E. C.
So delicious mmm
B. J.
Fpod excellent as always. The smell walking down king st is superb.
Love the beer selection also cause you always need a beer with bulk protein!!!
C. R.
Didn't have our first two choices of beer available, then got our order wrong anyway but by this stage we'd given up and just wanted a drink! Didn't explain the share concept so we over ordered and wasted food. Food itself was ok.
L. L.
Very yummy BBQ chicken and delicious deep fried jalapeños ( very 🌶 🌶). You pick the meats seperate and purchase the sides you want. Decent drink selection. They book out quickly so you find yourself sitting in the converted alley/laneway if you just walk in. I would definitely go back 👍🏽 (was too hungry to take pics haha)
L. J.
Great night out. Beers were tasty and the shared plate was delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.
H. W.
If you like American style BBQ meet you will love Old Faithful. The smell of cooking marinated meet hits you as you enter the door.
The staff are friendly and happy and there is a small selection of Feral beers on tap.
J. H.
The best BBQ joint in Perth at the moment. Unique drink choices and the menu is catered for this willing to try new ways of cooked meat. Recommend small groups or just dates of two people.
D. H.
Usually great. Usually great beer and bbq. But very unfriendly front of house today. Unusual. But the rest of the team good as gold as usual.
J. B.
Not bad. Pork and chicken need work. Beef and lamb were very good.
G. S.
Brisket was cold, no smaller tables for smaller groups/couples. had already run out of items at 7pm on a Saturday night. wasn't terrible. door staff were not welcoming more like bouncers, not inviting when you have already booked and feel like you're not going to be let in completely sober with your wife.
D. B.
They would have got 5 stars if they'd had the apple pie and icecream (one of only two desserts on their menu) actually available. Otherwise, great friendly engaging staff and wholesome on trend cuisine and drinks.
M. G.
Enjoyed the atmosphere here, we selected this Restaurant as a family "gift pick ".
A relatively small restaurant for it popularity, BBQ pork ribs were the target menu selection, everyone in the family voted them best ever.
They are human a small hiccup with the order but quickly and simply remedied, i count that as positive nit necessarily a negative.
Thanks goes to ' Old Faithfull ' ☆☆☆☆☆
m. J.
Friendly service , good food at decent prices , would go again

Nice environment... Another hidden gem of places to chill with your friends after work.
Z. R.
Great service , The food was perfect 👌
J. E.
Really good food and friendly and helpful staff. As an American I can say it's reasonably close to the real thing. Unless you're willing to fly to a different hemisphere, I wasn't able to find better BBQ.
J. A. T.
American BBQ, only managed to try the beef brisket and wings as was there alone. Service was a little slow
H. L.
Great food and great beer. The slow smoking process they use on their meats really does take their bbq offerings to another level. Love it!!!
s. k.
We love dinning here the food is scrumptious. Finger licking good I would recommend it any day you are in town and looking to have american style barbecue . I personally go there for the ribs.
B. S.
Lamb ribs with chimichurri. Wow! Spectacular! The tart and fresh house pickles, and a local but light IPA made a perfect pairing. Don’t miss!
N. A.
Very nice food and service.
A. J.
the service, staff and food were all amazing. the food was cheep and good quality. the staff were friendly and always checking if everything was ok or if you needed something else along with being really friendly and welcoming.

Awesome place, great rotating selection of local craft beers, awesome and wholesome food, and the staff are bubbly and happy to help at any convenience!

Great vibes! And humongous servings of food. A must try are the potato side dish, absolutely delightful
C. B.
Was nice to find another new pub in Fremantle. Food was good. Bar staff very pleasant
L. T. T. T. G.
Delicious food. Yummy bread and butter pud.
D. B.
Hands down the best feed in town, had multiple work do's there, best mouth watering meat and fantastic beers, can't recommend enough.
M. G.
it took us 4 goes to find a drink which they have not sold out on. BUT. the food was delicious reasonably priced and the atmosphere is awesome. definitely try this place.
M. G.
Awesome 1kg meat platter. Will be here again soon
A. v. S.
Very patient staff while we ummed and ahhed over all the delicious meats on the menu, and very helpful when we needed a bit more direction on how much we'd need for our group of four. And the food itself was spot on; meat coma without a meat sweat, thankfully
T. S.
Good BBQ and selection of beers
M. Y.
Happy with drinks but not happy with food's quality. Chicken was so salty and chips were so dark and no crunchy
C. A.
Two words. Meat coma! We got the platter between 2 and it could have fed 3 if not 4. All of it was fantastic with a good selection of drinks too. Well worth a visit
P. G.
Excellent slow cooked meats with a good smokey flavour
Went here with the Mrs excellent food and a beautiful bar.
I highly recommend the sweet potato and feta salad.
I will be coming back here again

Amazing atmosphere which great music. Huge portion sizes and very tasty food.

Felt like we were being rushed out the door because they had more bookings after us. Food was quality though. Corn bread with jalapeno butter was delicious
R. T.
Great range of beers, good food with meat and vegetables options , sides are amazing, including the best brussle sprouts ever. Great atmosphere. Can be busy at times, around busy periods, fridays and weekends.

Atmosphere and tunes were great for a Wednesday lunch time. Food was really really good and some great specials! Staff were fantastic and friendly. A must visit/revisit
C. H.
Stellar barbecue with generous portions on the lunch menu. This gave me a taste of home coming from The South in the U.S. Plus a good selection of top shelf whiskeys to warm your belly!
A. T.
Hipster heaven. Food is ok... Service is ok.. drinks are ok. I found some of the meat a little dry. Fortunately I had a great beer to help me masticate. Certainly not the worst place to go for a quick bit. Can be very busy at lunch times
J. F.
Menu has gone down hill over the last few years. Still good. But used to be better
D. S.
F*coming amazing food
Great venue for big group
All in BBQ was incredible, was worried we need to get one for every person which would have been too much but they let us just order 10 servings for 15 people and it was perfect
Props to the team!!
L. J.
Literally the best feed you can get in Perth. Amazing tap selection and insane food.
A. B.
A great place for drinks and food. Lovely staff. Highly recommended
A. R.
Its fine. Old fashioned heavy flavours....burger and chips type stuff but done well. At lunch sorta feels like youd have a beer with it (cant while working) but doubt i would go for dinner. Friendly vibe.
J. H.
Amazing range of drinks, great vibe and the food is absolute barbeque perfection.
D. L.
Always great BBQ, Beers and fabulous service
G. T.
Great value food. Especially the meat platter which easily feeds 3-4 people. The stuffed chillies are great but set your mouth on fire.
B. L.
Food was great as always but jeesus it was sooooo slow today. 45min wait for only a few small dishes. And it was only a Wednesday!
S. R.
Yummy blue cheese wedges and brussel sprouts. Meat selection was pretty ordinary in terms of being dry. Wasnt very busy. Go here for drinks...find sonewhere else to eat.
J. B.
Great BBQ bar. Awesome meats. Best Brussel sprouts I have ever had and a great craft beer tap list.
P. H. T. N.
If you like meat and bbq, this place is for you! Good flavours, and their pickles are amazing. Love the coleslaw, Brussels sprout with kimchi and the pickled cucumbers.
H.
It is hard to find good american food, even though its not like the authentic american food, but it's damn close, and WE LOVED IT!!! The service was great and the prices are very acceptable. All in all it was a great night.
J. M.
Great atmopshere of an old time brasserie / tavern. Their wing special is definitely worth checking out and the BBQ Wing sauce is heavenly
R. B.
Food here is unbelievable. Beer selection is spot on and great variety
J. B.
Just a brilliant bar and BBQ. Food is solid, service great and drinks lists top notch. Always a treat
D. P.
Absolutely lovely as always. Food and service incredible. Josh and Juliet undoubtedly some of the best hospo crew in Australia
H. N.
Possibily the best dining experience I have had. The atmosphere, food, staff and company combine to form a perfect storm of flavor and good vibes. Should definitely book ahead.
J. B.
Boys night out sorted! Mouth watering selection of meats, accompanied by tasty bread and onions. We polished the platter with zero effort 👍
M. M.
Nice little bar, great staff told us about some other cool little places we might like
I. H.
Service was OK, we got the All in BBQ. It tasted good, but some of the food was cold when we got and the other people at our table had a major mix up with their order.
C. A.
Really nice place, great food. The drinks are priced very reasonable. Only problem was that the f**king hot sauce wasn't hot enough!
S. G.
Service was great the food was good value and well presented 5 stars to the staff just place to go for good feed and a few drinks
T. E.
All I was craving was some tasty ribs and wings and thats exactly what I got. Good beer, delicious spicy wings and sticky ribs. Oh and did I mention the 75cent Wednesday wing special!
D. K.
Great meat, great drink options, great service, what more can I say it was great
D. G.
Very nice and friendly atmosphere, a bit loud but the kind that makes everyone feel welcomed and beef ribs so good they make you blame the waiter for letting you get the pork as well instead of getting more beef ribs.
R. D. B.
This place is amazing. Good quality BBQ and good cocktails. The blue cheese potatoes were a highlight. We'll be back for sure.
S. Y.
As someone who grew up with the Southern US foods I wasn't big on it but it's ok and others seem to love it. It's packed and not a comfortable place unless you're looking for loud and crowded.
M. S.
Smoked meat platter was amazing, pulled pork as good as it gets.
N. P.
Amazing customer service and amazing food! Can't wait to go back :)
E. g.
Great food, good selection of beers but a little pricey
H. F.
If good meat is your thing and chicken is your favourite vegetable, this is the place to go. Well cooked, tasty and spicy if you want.
S. H.
Great service!! Food was mouthwatering
G. H.
Pretty basic. good service, good food, good beer.
F. I.
This was my 3rd visit to Old Faithful, and it never disappoints. Great drinks menu, tasty bbq and amazing sides. The bbq beans are always a highlight!
M. Y.
Cozy atmosphere, many different beers to choose from, local and abroad craft beer. Has a good variety of food to enjoy as well
J. R.
Great place for some BBQ meat. Beer selection is awesome. Service was very good
N. R.
Delicious food, awesome service, great atmosphere - all in a wonderful part of the City. Highly recommended.
R. P.
Great atmosphere, the brisket is amazing! Love the range of authentic smoked meats and great sides go go with it. Will be coming back for sure ☺👍
C. E.
Their brisket is arguably the best in Perth, great service, great beers...what more could you want?
R. J.
10 minute wait for table service (with only 8 people at the venue) and a 30 minute wait for 10 chicken wings... Staff eating behind the bar and staff being served food before customers.... 75c wings on a Wednesday though so can't complain more than that. A few standards should be lifted though, for a King St venue....
S. D.
Good selection of drinks, including beer and spirits and really nice food. Try the loaded fries; they're pretty damn good!
J. L.
Holy Smokes!! A F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C "watering hole" to relax, chill, and enjoy some real Southern Style Bar-B-Q. Ohh! And the beers too! Fantastic Staffon the floor, behind the bar (especialy) & the great guys in the kithen who make it all happen, yet make seem so easy!
S. P.
Best brisket Reuben in town, and more bourbons than you could get through in a fair few sittings
B. D.
Meat tray served - always delicious for lunch or dinner. Be aware that food is generally served in a style that suits sharing over individual orders.
A. L.
Great food.. Nice atmosphere as wel. Really good value too. and a good break from all the Burger places in Perth!
A. B.
Food was delicious and the bar staff were particularly helpful. Shout out to the guy who sent away the creepy old men hanging around. 5 stars!
T. M.
Great vibes and dear lord good food. Good selection of beers too highly recommend if you can book a table!
D. B. (.
The atmosphere is good and so is the beer but the food, more specifically the potatoes are probably very bad for you but they taste absolutely fantastic
S. W.
Loaded fries are the best
Q. F.
Great BBQ, awesome staff and service.

Wings are the best.

M. J.
Great bbq food and beers paired with amazing service. And reasonably priced, I will be back next time I am in Perth
S. A.
I would have to say that they went out if their way to accommodate for our party of six. I have not had better service in Perth then at Old Faithful and the food speaks for itself consistently excellent
G. D.
Great food (if you like meat) and great tap list for beer. Loved it
R. N.
Very affordable food, could have had a little more flavour and been cooked a bit longer. Soggy chicken wings are not desirable.
S. G.
Great bar, good atmosphere and friendly staff
B. J.
Yummm the food here is delicious and the staff are always attentive. Good beers on tap too!
R. B.
Food and service is great, especially is you like your bbq style food. Range of beers and spirits is impressive.
C. M.
'Out of this world' is an understatement, the service, the food, the range of drinks. My new favourite in Perth.
R. M.
Can't fault this place. I've been here twice and the food has been out of this world. Just as much as the service was. New fav place to go
A. W.
Amazing food, cocktails, beer and great service! Couldn't recommend it highly enough!!
Z. R.
Great quality American style meat house and good serving sizes. Shared tables, good beer selection and great service

Great vibe
S. M.
Absolutely love this place! The all in BBQ is damn good value for money and you get to try so much from the menu!
C. T.
This place has a great vibe. The beverage list is diverse and the food is fantastic. This is all topped off with friendly and helpful staff.
J. M.
