The Best BBQ Pork Ribs in Sydney : Hurricane's Grill VS Ribs & Burger

BBQ Pork Ribs at Hurricane's Grill - $59

BBQ Pork Ribs - who doesn't love it?? Grilled delicious pork ribs mixed with tasty BBQ sauce, it's a paradise for a "carnivore". This meat dish is our family favorite food, and we always looking for that wherever we travel, including in Sydney. There are some popular restaurants in Sydney that well known for their pork ribs. I've tried most of them, but there are 2 restaurants that I think they have the best pork ribs - Hurricane's Grill and Ribs & Burgers. At this post, I'll make a comparison between those restaurant, and I gonna tell you which one is the best, in my opinion.

Dinner at Hurricane's Grill - Top Ryde, Sydney

Hurricane's Grill
Everybody knows Hurricane's Grill. They have many restaurants not just in Sydney, but also at other countries. There are several branches in Sydney, but the most popular one is at Darling Harbour. I've dinner twice at Hurricane's Grill, first at the Darling Harbour, and the second at Top Ryde. They have the same menu, and same taste as well. I was having dinner at Top Ryde branch only because it was full at Darling Harbour.

I decided to have a dinner at Hurricane's Grill after got a recommendation from my mom in law. She had a dinner there before and she said that the meat was really tender and also come in huge size.  First impression, yesssss. It looks appetizing from the size and its glazzy sauce. But how about the taste?

The meat was not as tender as people talking about. The BBQ sauce was really tasty. However I only could taste it at the outside part. The inside part, it was really bland. The good things from this plate was the sweet potato chips as a side dish. It's the best sweet potato chips ever...

Pork Knuckle - $40

I might be dissapointed with the pork ribs, but I liked the other dish that I ordered - Pork Knuckle. I liked pork knuckle especially when it cooked this way. Crispy at the outside, but very juicy and tender at the inside. It served with gravy sauce and apple puree which makes it perfect..

Pork Baby Back at Ribs & Burger $39,9

Ribs & Burgers
This restaurant also have some branches in Sydney. But I was having dinner at Ribs & Burgers - Neutral Bay. First time I saw this place, I didn't know that they also popular. I just randomly looking for a restaurant around the apartment (where we stayed) for a family dinner. Knowing they serve pork ribs BBQ, I decided to give them a try.

The pork ribs size was much smaller than the one at Hurricane's Grill, and it served with not so fancy plate. Because of its presentation, I had doubts about the taste. Well, when people say "Don't judge a book by its cover", I think it's a perfect words for this dish. The meat was really really tender, and not just that. It has a very rich flavors, until I could taste the sauce at the inside part of the meat.

Super soft and delicious "Garlic Bread" at Hurricane's Grill

Which one is the best? Hurricane's Grill or Ribs & Burgers?
For the taste of bbq pork ribs, I'd said that Ribs & Burgers is the best one. I've been eating pork ribs everywhere, but this one was very tender delicious. However, for other dishes including the side dish (sweet potato fries), Hurricane's Grill is better. And another plus point for Hurricane's Grill, it has a great location - at Darling Harbour - where you can have a dinner and watch fireworks show every Saturday night.
