PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAWhile you can choose from huge salads, burgers, grilled chicken and fish, it’s the prime rib steaks that keep Hog’s Breath Cafe packed day in day out. It is on these juicy, glazed animal chunks that its international reputation has been built. Try the hickory-smoked rib for a real Texan flavour, or go for the surf ‘n turf garlic prawn prime rib for a true Aussie classic. Those with an insatiable appetite for beef can upgrade their steak to a mega-cut, a truly imposing amount of flesh that is not for the faint stomached.
The eclectic interior is adorned with a fun mix of trinkets and memorabilia from around the globe, while multiple televisions throughout the dining area show music videos and live sports. Hoggies prides itself on entertaining its diners, so as well as an exceptionally well sated appetite, you and your crew can be sure of having a good time in the lively steakhouse. The saloon bar has a wide selection of beers and original cocktails to grease the party wheels. The Darwin outlet holds prime real estate on Darwin’s busy and bustling Mitchell Street – the centre of all things recreational in the heart of the city. Walking distance from the Darwin Entertainment Centre and the cinema complex, the late night kitchen means you can eat before or after a show. Take note to ensure all belt buckles have been well loosened before entering.
