About Muddy Waters

Muddy Waters serves scratch-cooked daytime staples and rotating blackboard specials in Wangaratta. Patrons gravitate to the back courtyard—a sunny, open-air spot where dogs get their own puppuccinos while tables dig into bacon and egg pides with relish, homemade arancini, and towering breakfast stacks. The kitchen bakes everything on-site, pairing pulled pork rolls on fresh bread with sweet potato fries or a slice of warm lemon tart.

  • Scratch-Cooked Daily Specials: Daily blackboard menus feature house-cooked fare, from bacon and egg pides to arancini and homemade cakes.
  • Pet-Friendly Garden Courtyard: A leafy back courtyard offers open-air tables where dogs are welcomed with puppuccinos.
