• 5/5 from Struan Robertson, attended Jan 2026: The American BBQ class was fast paced, informative, and as 'hands-on' as can be for this type of class. Both teachers are excellent communicators who know their subject. The food was tasty (and heaps of it). I would recommend this class for anyone who needs to see the what this cuisine has to offer.
• 5/5 from Paul Brooks, attended Jan 2026: I really enjoyed this American BBQ class. The teacher was knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, making the techniques easy to understand.

• 5/5 from Rob Rowe, attended Nov 2025: Sensational class. Very knowledgeable staff who created a hands on experience. The food was awesome
• 5/5 from Glen Darling, attended Nov 2025: Well presented, and very tasty bbq.
• 5/5 from Emily Pleece, attended Nov 2025: The class was great. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The best part for me would’ve been the ribs and the pulled pork tacos. Very delicious and tender. This is a great class. Would highly recommend
• 5/5 from Paul Williams, attended Oct 2025: I really enjoyed this class. Charlie and Sarah were knowledgeable communicators. The recipes were easy to follow and their logic of different meat and BBQ techniques in Australia made great sense. I know a great deal more about this style of cooking and I’m looking forward to trying it out myself. The only issue I had with the course was that it wasn’t nearly concluded by the scheduled finish time. I had driven 3 1/2 hours to get to Melbourne and decided to head home that day, given the 2pm finish time. I missed tasting the last 3 dishes because I had to pick up my wife. Having said that, the lady at the front counter very kindly gave me some packaged brisket to take home and try. Having said all of that, I will be back
• 5/5 from Jake Makaling, attended Oct 2025: Learnt a lot about American smoky bbq and how to prepare the meats.
• 5/5 from Jason Cattach, attended Aug 2025: Very good in-depth lesson. Catered for everyone that didn't own a smoker yet to some people already tackling a brisket that needed extra advice. I had to stop myself asking questions as the teachers are a fountain of knowledge.

• 5/5 from Tamara Baker, attended Jul 2025: What a fantastic experience! I booked this as a surprise for my partners anniversary present and he loved it. I went to spend time together, yet I also loved it. The class was a great balance of watching and learning and then doing. We were able to give things a go and at the end we got to try everything we made (and we were full, great feed) Special thanks to our teachers Simeon and Sarah who were knowledgeable, funny, interesting and happy to chat and answer any questions. We felt very welcome and left with lots more knowledge and confidence in BBQing. We will absolutely be back for another class, cannot recommend enough

• 5/5 from Katy Nikroo, attended Oct 2024: If you’re looking to dive into the art of authentic American BBQ, this smoking BBQ cooking class is a fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, the instructors’ passion for slow-cooked perfection was palpable. They guided us through every step of the process, from selecting the best cuts of meat to mastering the art of using wood and charcoal for that perfect smoky flavor. The hands-on approach was great; we got to season, smoke, and grill our own meat under expert guidance. They explained the different regional styles of BBQ, which added a lot of context and depth to the techniques we were learning. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone looking to up their BBQ game, the class strikes a balance that caters to everyone. One of the best parts was the tasting at the end. After hours of smoking, the payoff was incredible—juicy, tender brisket, perfectly smoked ribs, and flavorful pulled pork. Each bite was a testament to the methods we had just learned. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the instructors were patient and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. By the end, I felt confident enough to try smoking meat on my own at home. Plus, we got to take home some of the recipes and tips, which was a nice touch. Overall, this class is a must for any BBQ enthusiast. It’s not just about cooking; it’s about understanding and appreciating the nuances of true American BBQ. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Jess Curl, attended Oct 2024: This was excellent! The teacher was great and so was the vibe and food and we learned a ton! Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Jared Johnson, attended Sep 2024: Fantastic class by the legends at the Que club! Thanks heaps! Guys, great recipes and great fun!
• 5/5 from Nikki Scambiatterra, attended Sep 2024: What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon- Simeone and Charlie were excellent Their knowledge, presentation, explanation was invaluable Food prepared and presented before our very eyes was delish and plentiful I would thoroughly recommend this BBQ course
• 4/5 from Jemma Leitch, attended Sep 2024: Really enjoyed this class and learnt a lot. Food was amazing and great you can have a beer whilst in the class. I would have liked the class to be a bit more hands on. I expected to be cooking myself and seasoning meat etc although I understand some of the food we couldn’t as it takes longer to cook. There is a few dishes we would have been able to cook ourselves and would have broken up the class a-bit from sitting and listening for a long period of time. Would highly recommend this class to people, just would have liked a bit more of a hands on experience.
• 5/5 from Brett Anthony Halls, attended Aug 2024: What a great night! Having recently purchased a smoker I received the class as gift from my wife and kids, ultimately it will benefit them. I ended up going to the class with my wife and 2 other couples, what a great night. Simeon the legendary teacher was not only very knowledgeable with his craft but also added some humour and stories along the way. The food was delicious, it was great to note the spices used for the different meats and then purchase them from the venue after the event. This was a great night overall, I picked up many tips and left with a full tummy.
• 5/5 from Elena Savva, attended Aug 2024: Great value for money and very knowledgeable teachers, food was amazing with plenty to go around
• 5/5 from Millie Nakatsuka, attended Jul 2024: This was a wonderful introduction to the art of BBQ. I'm definately going to his other classes.
• 5/5 from Paul Gray, attended Jul 2024: Simeon is awesome, a professional chef with a wealth of knowledge. A real treat for the novice and experienced. Exploring the different types of smokers and fuel. It's definitely a session to go to. The food was amazing and accompanied by the beer. Also able to sample various rubs and sauces.
• 5/5 from Dean Avery, attended Jul 2024: Great venue with personable, knowledgeable presenters providing plenty of tips and traps for great American BBQ. Food was delicious especially when washed down with a beer or two from the bar. We were encouraged to participate in food preparation and all our questions and queries were cheerfully answered. I attended with a mate but there were those that came on their own which made no difference as we all up for a good time as BBQ brings people together. I would attend again.
