Hurricane's Grill & Bar: Bondi review by Tim Hughes

You want ribs?  Got it.  You want steak?  Got it.  You want other cooked stuff?  Sure but why are you asking? The only thing to order is the rib rack and steak combo.  Hurricane's cook the perfect rib rack and steak meat lovers experience that everything else on the menu is just there to fill out the pages.  In fact I recommend you just order like this.... say it in one go so you can skip the questions from the waiter. "Rib rack and steak. Pork. Medium rare. Baked. Sour. Monkey.":  These 10 words will give you all you need.  Let me translate

1. Rib rack and steak- half rack of ribs and medium rump steak combination

2. Pork - that is the rib type you want instead of lamb (religion permitting)

3. Medium rare - how you want the steak cooked

4. Baked - you want baked potato not chips as you are trying to be (cough cough) healthy

5. Sour - the sour cream topping you want on your (cough cough) healthy potatoes

6. Monkey - the relish and bbq sauce special they have called Monkey Gland sauce.

BUT - know this.  You will be treated like crap when you turn up.  Reservations are compulsory but irrelevant.  Book a table for 7,.30pm, turn up at 7pm, get seated between 8.30pm and 10pm.  Call ahead and say "can I come down now with wife and two kids".  They will say " of course you can".  But when you get there you will be told to take your 8 yr old and 4 yr old to the bar for a 30 min wait. The restaurant is so packed they don't care

Unmatchable food hit hard by a "you are lucky to get a table at all" mentality.
