Whenever I'm wanting ribs I usually think of Hurricane's. If you're hungry but can't really finish a full rack then it's better value to share a full rack with someone else — much cheaper than ordering just a half rack for yourself. I tend to prefer the Pork Ribs over the smaller and meatier tasting Lamb Ribs. I wish I could cook ribs at home that has meat so tender and falls off the bone. I also tried the rather expensive Prawns Villa Moura although it has four enormous Clarence River King Prawns — I don't think they can get much bigger than these babies. Comes with salad dressing and three sauces of which I prefer the peri-peri sauce. Salads are huge at Hurricane's and the Octopus Salad is no exception.
For dessert I had to try the Mars Bar Cheesecake just for the name. Seemed to have real slices of Mars Bar on top although I found the cheesecake a bit dense. I preferred the more classic Warm Sticky Date Pudding. In terms of drinks I noticed wines by the glass are pretty expensive, averaging between $11–$13 while beers are a bit more reasonable at about $7–8. Note there's a 10% surcharge on Sundays so visit on other days if your wanting to save a bit on your final bill. And don't forget you get complimentary brown bread and butter in case your thinking of ordering garlic or herb bread.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Ribs, Free brown bread
CONS: Very busy so book ahead, Expensive wine
MUST TRY: Pork Ribs, Prawns Villa Moura

Hurricanes is my favourite place to get ribs - but the prawns look fantastic too!
woweee, lookit the size of them prawns! Ribs look great too!
Amazing looking plate of ribs! Good to know they have the takeaway section too!
Their ribs have always looked incredible but I'm still yet to go; why? I like the look of the Mars Bar cheesecake too but it looks very sweet ....
hi trissa, ribs were the only things i would want there but now i'll be tempted to get the prawns too next time.
hi yaya, they were like mini lobsters hehe
hi 3 hungry tummies, i believe the take away is pretty popular. our wait for 45 mins for a table that day but it's nice not to have to do the washing up :-)
hi joey, could be a new years resolution for you to try the ribs :-)
I had dinner here just tonight. The fillet steak was great. Cooked just how I had asked. The Monkey Gland sauce wasn't very nice and the salads were tasteless and bland, although giant. The prawns you ordered looked amazing though.
hi madam wu, i don't think i've ever had the steak because i keep ordering the ribs :-)
