Tailgates, Footy, and Fire: Your Ultimate Pre-Game HQ

Elevating the weekend footy ritual

Winter in Perth means footy season is in full swing, and weekend rituals are officially underway. Whether you are heading to the stadium with a group of mates or gathering the family, the food you choose dictates the energy of the day. Step away from the predictable meat platters Perth diners see everywhere else. Upgrade your weekend with authentic, wood-fired Texas barbecue from Blackiron in Inglewood.

The only pre-game stop you need

If you have tickets to the match, Blackiron Barbecue is the best and only pre-game stop you need. Footy fans are used to standard restaurant experiences before a game, which usually involves waiting long for a feed and rushing to pay the bill. At Blackiron, we follow the same methods used in Texas pitrooms. This means you are in control of your whole tray. When you walk up to our butcher’s block, you interact straight with the carving team. Instead of ordering preset platters, you move through a line where meats are sliced at the carving station and weighed to your preference before you select your sides.

Complete control over your tray

We are not telling people what they need to spend. You tell us, we will make that tray, and that tray is personalised to exactly what you want on it. Our meat is smoked overnight and held ready for service. That means you get your food immediately with zero kitchen delays. You get the quality of a premium, wood-fired meal with the fast-casual speed necessary to make sure you never miss the opening bounce.

Authentic meats sliced to order

Because we do not serve preset platters, you have complete control over your tray. Our Texas brisket is the benchmark of our entire menu. We trim each brisket by hand, leaving just enough fat cap to render down and keep the muscle tissues tender throughout the night. You can also grab a single house-made sausage link, which is ground from premium pork and beef trimmings and smoked until it delivers an audible snap. Alternatively, you can opt for a massive pile of pork ribs. Our ribs are smoked for several hours until the meat easily pulls away from the bone while retaining a distinct bite and a visible pink ring beneath the surface layer of the bark.

Taking the pit to the party

If you are hosting the footy at home, our barbecue is the ultimate takeaway solution. Because we calculate the final price purely by the weight of your selections on the scale, it is incredibly easy to scale your order for a crowd. Wrapped safely in clean paper, your brisket, chopped wagyu, and ribs will stay hot and juicy. You can take the authentic Texas experience straight to your own communal tables without being tied to the kitchen.

Kick off the weekend early

Want to sample the menu before the weekend game, or just need a proper feed to kick off the footy weekend early? Swing by for our Friday lunch. It is the exact same wood-fired, low and slow meat, portioned perfectly for a midday feed. Take your pick from brisket, pork ribs, chopped wagyu, or a sausage link, and build a tray that suits your appetite. Takeaway is available, making it easy to grab and go for your watch party.

Show up before we run out

Remember, our daily menu board functions as a live countdown clock. We open for service on Thursday and Friday evenings, and run an all-day session on Saturday from 11:00 am. Once it runs out, it runs out. Our founder, Jason Linto, spent a decade building the WA BBQ scene, and this restaurant is a tribute to that legendary friendship and connection to Texas. We recommend rolling up close to our opening times if you have your heart set on specific premium cuts. Join the Blackiron Club to keep up to date, and let us handle the fire for your next footy weekend.
