Demazzi

Demazzi is always busy when we drive past, so today we decided we better check out why so many people are at this place. The pulled pork burger I had was yummy and the gay time freakshake so awesome. Will be back for the nutella burger ;)

The décor is very inviting, with nice lighting and cool design. Unfortunately our waitress seemed uninterested and dismissive, making it rather uncomfortable asking simple questions about the menu.
After more than an hour waiting for our food, she came back to tell us they had no chicken burgers left, so I settled with the ribs. The entrees came out an hour and twenty minutes after ordering and the mains about 10 minutes later. I wish I could say the food made up for the wait, the entrees were OK, but the ribs weren’t the greatest. «Smokey flavour» would be better described as «we found a cooked pig after a bush fire.» They came out pitch black and the taste of smoke was way too overpowering. The serving was also a bit small for what you pay.
The desert was delicious though, the lava cake was really moist and full of flavour. Being a bit soured by the experience so far, I almost said no to desert, but I’m glad I didn’t, because it was the best part of the meal.
They were kind enough to give me my meal, plus a few of our sides, for free without us saying anything to them, as an apology for the wait time and for not being able to accommodate my original order, so I assume what happened to us is somewhat out of the ordinary.
If you’re going to eat here, I would stick away from the ribs, but everything else we had was either acceptable or very nice.

I have now been to Demazzi Stone Grill over 3 times and they have secured a top 10 spot on my burger list!
They get better with every visit.
100% add Demazzi to your list, the travel to Essendon is well worth it.
