About The Great Outback BBQ
The Great Outback BBQ is a casual Australian grill & seafood restaurant located by the river in Clarke Quay, blending smoky barbecue flavours with a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Expect hearty steaks, sharing platters and seafood grilled over wood fire — a favourite for groups and tourists as well as locals craving Western comfort food with a local twist.
The fit-out is warm and unfussy: timber tables, exposed brick and an open kitchen where chefs man a large charcoal grill. The typical crowd ranges from the CBD lunch crowd grabbing a quick steak sandwich to families and expat groups on weekend evenings; it’s also popular for after-work drinks thanks to a full bar pouring Australian wines and craft beers. The menu nods to Singapore tastes with localised sides and sauces (think salted egg prawns alongside a classic ribeye), so it sits comfortably in Singapore’s diverse dining scene rather than feeling like an import.
Locals treat The Great Outback BBQ as a spot for weekend makan with friends, laid-back date nights by the river, or larger group celebrations where sharing platters are passed around. It’s easy to reach from Clarke Quay MRT and nearby malls, making it a handy option whether you want a quick weekday lunch or a late-night supper after cocktails in the quay.
