If i could rate this place a 50/5 i would. Superb meet variety and ticks all the boxes. Not flashy, but perfect for a steak. Simple salad to accompany beautifully cooked steak on the charcoal.

Had an amazing meal at @glenelgbbqinn in Adelaide. If you’re craving perfectly grilled steaks and classic BBQ dishes, this is the place to go. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff is super friendly—feels like home! The steaks are tender, juicy, and packed with char grilled flavour, and the sides are the perfect complement. Ideal for a casual night out or a big family gathering. It's definitely a must-try if you’re in Glenelg! Low-key garlic bread is elite

Glenegl BBQ Inn – A Hidden Gem Worth the Calories We checked out Glengl BBQ Inn on a local friend’s recommendation — and what a find! This unassuming steakhouse absolutely delivers. We ordered the T-bone and Porterhouse steaks, both generously portioned and served with a house salad, house bread, and a side of crispy chips. Surprise standout? The bread — it’s served cold, but somehow still incredibly fluffy. Totally unexpected! Chips were perfectly crunchy, and the steaks? Great quality, juicy, and value for money. The vibe is very casual — think local, laid-back, no-fuss — but that’s part of the charm. Chill atmosphere, good service. Honestly, we don’t even want to share this place… it’s already busy enough . But if you’re after a hearty, affordable steak and a no-frills good time, this is a spot you’ll want to keep in your back pocket.

We went there on a recommendation from my Mum who used to eat there when they were in Adelaide many years ago. Was definitely worth a visit! The staff are delightful! The meal was lovely, steak cooked just as we like it and those little Chevapchichi were a delicious addition! And I can't forget the bread...omg! Soft and fluffy! All in all, an enjoyable experience, thank you!

Honestly, one of the best steaks we’ve had.. ever! I ordered medium and was not disappointed. Partner ordered medium-well and loved the charcoal taste but it was still tender in the middle! If you want a melt in your mouth steak with amazing service, delicious wine and a decent price tag.. look no further! We will be back! Thank you

Food was very good if a little pricey. Steaks/meat barbecued over coals were tasty and well cooked. Waiters were attentive and helpful. Not a big restaurant, only open on weeknights. Best to book to avoid disappointment.

Glenelg BBQ Inn is our go-to spot for birthdays, and for good reason! The complimentary bread and butter were a delightful start, with this that bread set the tone for a great meal. The meats were perfectly cooked to the way you asked them to be, the spices were just amazinv! A blast full of flavors. there were salad as sides as well too! Some of the kids had a burger and their feedback was really good. They do have a small space for a steak inn but just manage a booking so you can secure a set, it gets pretty busy sometimes, it’s a popular for a reason.
