Honest feeds,
heart of a
battler family.

Smash burgers, crispy chips, and the maple glazed pork belly that put us on the map. Cooked fresh from the truck — the old-fashioned way, with no fuss and plenty of flavour.

Our story

One bloke, one grill,
and a whole lotta love.

Porkies started with a second-hand trailer, a borrowed cast iron, and the stubborn Aussie belief that a burger should taste like someone actually gave a damn. No frills, no gimmicks — just honest tucker cooked by a bloke who's been up since four-thirty seasoning the grill.

We know every supplier by first name. We know regulars by their order. And if we're out of the maple glazed pork belly by two o'clock, we're sorry — it means the folks before you had very good taste.

Why Porkies?

Because fast food shouldn't feel fast — it should feel like a mate handing you something mighty good over the counter.

We make everything in small batches. Sauces from scratch. Chips hand-cut the night before. Buns baked a suburb over. The pork belly? Brined overnight, slow roasted, then finished on the flat-top with maple and a cheeky crack of pepper.

We think you can taste the difference. Most folks tell us we're right.
