Took us a while to figure out where we were and how to get there. Actually not hard at all. We arrived and it was very crowded. Luckily we got a seat in the corner by a window close to the action(the kitchen where the pizzas were cooked). A few slices of focaccia were served with olive oil prior to our pizza and its was wonderful. Then the main event arrived and it was beautiful. And it tasted equally as great. The sausage pizza with arugula. It was awesome. Might want to make a reservation for this great place. Its is very popular. Highly recommend the sausage pizza.

For food we ordered: * Salscicca Pizza - this had sausages and arugula which was delicious and refreshing and came with 6 slices * Fried Calamari - this was absolutely DELICIOUS, super soft and tender - this is a must get here *Vanilla Pana Cotta - this came with poaches pear, hazelnuts & caramel sauce which was delicious Overall, great food and felt very fresh. Would definitely recommend to check this place out!

Great location because it's between the west end bars and restaurants and south bank parklands. Mains expect around 20$ but you're paying for good quality Vietnamese food.

The menu is wonderfully eclectic, and even if similar dishes are featured, the new twists are always exciting. The black garlic bread is the standout dish everyone should try. Another favourite of mine was the parsnip with chocolate & blood sauce on the previous menu, and recently I tried the Angus sirloin, which is simply divine! Tender, full of the most amazing flavour and cooked to perfection. Gauge doesn't take reservations, so it can be difficult for a larger group to get seats, but the staff is more than happy to work through accommodation issues as people arrive.

I got the chicken parm. Instead of giving me french fries, they threw a little extra salad on my plate, which I appreciated.

We sat out on the patio as it was a lovely evening.

This is the South Brisbane one, and it certainly was pretty crowded when I passed through.

Still, I really wasn't all that impressed, especially since there are much better ones around.

It's so new, that the "Billy Kart Provisions", a deli next door is still being finalised. Thought we'd go undercover & get a taste of the place for ourselves, expectations fairly high as we do love the Billy Kart Kitchen in Annerley. We liked the quirky yet trendy feature wall which displays deconstructed parts of a Billy-Kart. We were here for breakfast; a simple menu yet diverse in its offering from Spanner crab & scallop congee, to "liege waffles". A range of savoury as well as sweet "waffle & pancake" options with prices from $6 - $21.50 & additional "sides" $4.50 - $7. We decided on the savoury; Carne Asada, fried eggs, habanero salsa, chicharrones, & corn tortilla ($18.50). This dish is absolute tops! Ever so tender pulled pork, perfectly complimenting the crunchy textures of the tortilla & chicharrones. One of the best & unique versions of pulled pork we've had in terms of flavour & a big serving. However, this dish does have a spicy chilli kick, so if you're not that way inclined, it may be too early for your palate (as a breakfast dish) to handle. We also ordered the Buttermilk & Ricotta pancakes, with coconut caramel banana ($16). The pancakes themselves were light, fluffy & whilst ricotta isn't something you will necessarily taste, it adds a magical creaminess to each bite. The coconut caramel sauce though was excellent. Perfect consistency & just the right sweetness, so it didn't overpower the banana flavour as well, but add to it. Service was great, being only their second day & quieter in patronage, I suppose it was easy to get served. But the staff were always friendly, welcoming, & had great suggestions with what dishes to try. Coffee is by Campos Coffee, (& although it's not our fave), it was made well by the barista. Great work Billy Kart West End! Will be back!

Friendly, relatively fast service. Has high chairs. The food is not particularly baby/toddler friendly though. Beware, even thought they are open throughout the day, their kitchen closes for a bit just before lunch for the switch over between breakfast and lunch. So if you happen to turn up during that time, you can only order drinks.

There's water and some condiments that you can self serve. Overall, the soup was rich but a bit too salty for my taste.

It's such a beautiful space, from the 7.5m brass bar, custom glazed porcelain lights, back lit shelves, & a charcuterie cabinet at the end of the bar (which will form the basis for a very simple menu in the coming weeks). Maker's menu has a strong focus on Australian wines, beer, and spirits; with the sophisticated cocktail menu an adventurous interplay of flavours,like nothing you'll find anywhere else in Brisbane.Prepared with flair, artistry, & unique techniques, having a cocktail at Maker is a feast for the senses. Try the "Whisky Wax Coffee", a combination of Whisky, coffee, beeswax, pollen, macadmia ($22), and watch how it's prepared. Served in artisan glassware with sphere ice-cubes, & some of the famous black garlic bread from Gauge.We also tried the Starward (Australian) whisky as well as another cocktail not on the menu.It's one of the main benefits of being in such a small bar, that one can have meaningful conversations with the bartender, request a cocktail based on your particular flavours, adding to the overall bespoke experience. Maker has arrived, and it is a game changer.
