Smoke Collective Barbecue is a family-owned barbecue restaurant at 2A/30 Albert Street in Cambridge, in the town's industrial precinct. It began in 2017 as a home-built food trailer, selling at kerbside and at large events, and it opened its own restaurant later. Meat is smoked in American pellet smokers, with mesquite, hickory and apple wood flavours, and the menu is built on low and slow barbecue.
The dishes include hot-smoked peppered beef brisket, sweet spiced rubbed pork belly, a beef and cheese kransky sausage, fried chicken and cheesy dirty fries. Burgers come on brioche buns, tacos on flour tortillas, and there is a shared meat platter for groups. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday from 4pm until late. Guests can dine in, order takeaway or book a table, and the business also does private and large-group catering. Open Locally lists four other restaurants within a kilometre.
