Yeah we’re simple kinda men 😉 2 burgers for your Thursday night bite. When you think of a burger do you consider pulled pork as the filling?
This is our Piggy Stardust - 12-hour Pulled Pork, slaw, onions, pickles & Louisiana hot sauce. 🐷
That burger up top is our Tom Brady - Smashed Beef patty, crispy bacon, cheese, onion, pickles, mustard BBQ & creamy aioli. Oh and we added 12-hr Pulled Pork to that one too just to make sure we leave this meal stuffed.

What people say
American restaurants are known for their hearty portions, bold flavors, and laid-back atmosphere. Surly's American Tavern in Campbell Street, Sydney, is no exception. This barbecue restaurant opened its doors in 2015 and has been serving up authentic Nashville-style soul food ever since.
One of the highlights of Surly's is their Ole Hickory smoker, which was flown in straight from Missouri. This commercial fire-box smoker infuses the meats with a smoky flavor that is hard to resist. The menu features classic BBQ dishes like ribs, beef brisket, chicken thigh, and pulled pork - all smoked in-house over wood.
But it's not just about the food at Surly's - they also have an impressive selection of local boutique beers and cocktails. The Old Fashioned and Bloody Caesars are popular choices, but don't miss out on trying one of their house creations.
Upstairs at Surly's is Smokey's Cabin - a cozy space with shuffleboards and free arcade games against a backdrop of dark interior, wood paneling, and charismatic brown sofas. It's the perfect place to dance off all that BBQ and crunchy hot wings while enjoying live music on most nights of the week.
Overall, Surly's American Tavern offers an authentic taste of Nashville right in the heart of Sydney. With delicious food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere, it's no wonder why this dive bar has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
