The Gem - Melbourne

The Gem is one of the best spots in Collingwood! The meat was smoked beautifully and was also really tender. The sides were also delicious, particularly the cauliflower. Will be back soon!

I have tried a few things here BUT the Black Angus beef Brisket, beer battered pickles and slaw combination is what I recommend and will order every time I go back. absolutely delicious and consistent quality.

This place is great!! Its our favourite for American bbq. Great atmosphere and great drinks menu! Good value for money too. Friday nights are heaps of fun as they have live bands

American comfort food located within a cozy pub, you wouldn’t know this place existed without research and word of mouth recommendations. Service was fantastic all staff members were really friendly and knowledgeable about their menu and drinks. Their southern fried chicken is a must try, so juicy on the inside and batter was well flavoured and crumbed without that oily mess. Great to go with a group of friends so you can order extras to share.

Delicious smoked meat accompanied by a pumpkin salad. We had the brisket pork belly, which was reasonably priced. Good selection of beers too. We came on a Sunday for lunch sat outside. Some music would have been nice along with happier staff to put this review up to five stars. But all in all, would return again.
