About Hi Fi By Terror Twilight

Hi Fi dishes out hefty, hot rolls and griddled toasties from a lively Smith Street walk-up hatch soundtracked by spinning vinyl. Regulars line the sidewalk for morning egg rolls stacked with folded omelette, melted cheese, and a crisp hash brown on a toasted brioche bun. At lunch, the counter shifts to rich tuna melts laced with salsa verde and dill pickle, alongside hot honey fried chicken and curly fries dusted in Old Bay. Perch under the outdoor pergola with a quick flat white or take it down the block.

  • Morning Egg Rolls: Folded omelette, cheese, and crunchy hash on toasted brioche served hot for morning recovery.
  • Vinyl & Street Hatch: Walk-up sidewalk ordering with outdoor pergola seating under the hum of an active turntable.
  • Hefty Lunch Rolls: Griddled tuna melts with salsa verde alongside hot honey fried chicken rolls and seasoned curly fries.

  • Hot Honey Fried Chicken Roll

    One bite in and the crispy fried chicken is evident with the dripping hot honey sauce which is delicious, not too sweet, more spicy.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on seating, queues, and arrival to make the most of your visit

  • Plan for Limited Sidewalk Seating

    The walk-up counter has no indoor dining room and limited outdoor tables, so plan on takeaway or grab a perch nearby when seating fills up.

  • Arrive Early for Specials and Shorter Queues

    Popular options like the brisket hot roll can sell out early, and midday counter queues can form quickly during peak rushes.

  • Check Metered Parking Options

    Street parking directly along Smith Street is mostly metered, so leave extra time to find a spot or consider walking.
