About Hunter & Barrel Ringwood

Moody timber lodge styling sets the tone at this Eastland steakhouse, built for communal meat platters and milestone family celebrations. Tables crowd with flame-grilled cuts, skewered meats, and slow-braised ribs glazed in smoky marinade. Groups gather over multi-course boards and massive tomahawk cuts carved to share alongside marrow, charred vegetables, and bowls of spiced chips. Daytime brings steady traffic for fixed-price lunches, while evening celebrations lean into shared desserts like cast-iron chocolate s’mores and sweet tasting boards.

  • Communal meat feasts: Generous spreads feature skewered meats, braised ribs, and large-format tomahawk steaks portioned for group dining.
  • Rustic lodge setting: Dark timber paneling and low lighting deliver a relaxed, hunter's lodge feel inside Eastland.
  • Value set lunch: Daytime menus bundle multi-course steak, skewer, or seafood options with an included drink.
