Surly's American Tavern

Tasty food with good vegetarian options as well. I really enjoyed the Alabama Burger with sweet potato patty and the hubby loved his meaty burger. Generous serving of fries on the side. Nachos with guacamole were the only average item: Nachos were crisp but guac too little :) Service was great, with every staff member very friendly and helpful. We’re definitely going back here.

Great bar with a good atmosphere. Food is delicious with generous serves. Lots of different beers and cocktails to choose from. Friendly happy staff. Definitely be back

Really chill vibes and super cool staff. The food was rather excellent and our friend group pigged out a little bit on all the barbecue. Trivia was a lot of fun, host had awesome energy but we bombed out with the answers lol. Other teams seemed to do fine so maybe it’s just us.

One of the good American taverns I have come across in Sydney. Great and affordable food and drinks, good ambience, and friendly staff to look after you. For those big eaters - Go for the bbq platter straightaway. You won't be disappointed 😉

Happened to find this place while walking around the neighborhood with my partner. Had chicken, routine, a timtam milkshake, and some apple bites. Food definitely hit the spot and the overall energy of the place was really chill :)

Great food, great drinks, great vibes — Surly’s American Tavern never disappoints!

Went there on a Monday. Won't recommend to go right when they're open. We ordered a burger and bbq box. Burger was decent, my partner was happy about it. But the bbq box is not worth for $35 when i get there. Mac n cheese are your typical mac n cheese in a grocery box, felt like not homemade. The mustard bbq sauce with it, taste more like a vinaigrette, very sour. The brisket that i was waiting for and wanted to try was so dry. No juiciness on it. I knew it was not fresh and was a leftover from a day before. The corn was good though as well as the coleslaw. Coleslaw was fresh atleast on that box. And I like the cornbread. Didn't want to complain about it since it was my partners birthday and didn't wanna ruin the night. The drinks were nicely presented and taste good. The servers were nice as well. Food, i don't know. Would love to have a good juicy brisket and not dry tasteless leftover. I am a chef as well, been to america and I was excited to try because I miss a good brisket taste like from america, my partner was excited as well as his American. But I'm glad he had a good burger he was happy about. I was just disappointed on mine.

We couldn't wait to visit Surlys after months of salivating when scrolling through their socials. I was dubious, as not all live up to the hype. Thankfully, it was nothing but true love at first bight. The family and I devoured the bbq platter for four. The meats were full of flavour, perfectly seasoned, smoked and juicy. Perfect portions (no skimping here) which went down a treat. We couldn't fault anything on our platter. 10/10. Corn bread, creamy corn and tater tots were sensational. The only area for improvement was the Mac & cheese. Wasn’t to our liking as it lacked the cheese creaminess we desired. The BB burger was next level in every aspect. Couldn’t fault it. Yes I had a burger and the platter. What? Nothing to see here! Can’t wait to go back for more Surlys goodness. What an epic feed, something dreams are made of. I haven't stopped thinking and talking about it since. Thanks for making my birthday dinner epic. 9.5/10 overall for food, service, atmosphere and price.
