About Ironbark Fish Chips & Burgers (Formally Ironbark Tavern)

A welcoming country stop along Conness Street, serving serious pub dinners that easily outshine typical road-trip fare. Travellers pull off the highway for fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs, crisp chicken schnitzel, and rib-eye surf-and-turf loaded with calamari and prawns in garlic sauce. Discerning road trippers appreciate the tiered sizing—letting you order lighter portions or substantial mains depending on appetite—while others dial ahead to catch authentic rotating Thai curry nights. Dogs are welcome indoors, where comfortable dining pairs with hearty plates and attentive hosts.

  • Tiered Portion Sizing: Mains like BBQ ribs come in light or regular portions, tailoring dinner to individual appetites.
  • Rotating Pub and Thai Menu: The kitchen balances traditional Australian pub dishes with an authentic Thai dinner rotation.
  • Dog-Friendly Indoor Seating: Four-legged companions are permitted inside while patrons unwind from regional road trips.
