The Little Hunter

Love this place! If you like meat then this is the place for you. We have been here three times now and had exceptional service and meals every time. I am completely addicted to the ribs, but have had an amazing steak too! The meat is tender and well cooked. Meals are very large, so come hungry.
The chairs are super comfy and make for a great décor. If you are lucky enough you might even score a booth!

Interesting location just off Hindley St. Very high ceilings and pleasant outback style beer garden. Stone walls are impressive. Comfortable bench seats. Décor quite mixed styles actually.
Ordered a James Squire porter — reliably good and tasty once it warmed up.

The reviews here on Unilocal are quite varied, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when we were invited here for dinner! The Little Hunter is tucked away on Victoria Street, which is between Hindley Street and North Terrace. From the start, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the fitout is lovely (very high ceilings, with a warehouse feel).
Just one problem … TV screens! Seriously, I would have given this place 5 stars if it wasn’t for those bloody TV screens. We were unfortunate enough to have a screen above our table, with nearby bogans yelling at the football. Charming.
Saying that, the meal was lovely — I ordered ribs, which were literally falling off the bone. Their wine and ale selection is outstanding.
Although I had a great night here, I don’t think I would come back — sports on TV are fine for daggy pubs, but not for a restaurant where the meals are an average of $ 29 for a main.

I just visited The Little Hunter for a work dinner in a group of 7 and couldn’t believe my boss had such good taste ;) from the location to the façade, the name and the PERFECT interior, I just LOVED it!!! The sky high stone walls are immensely impressive and the furnishings are on point. They have the combination of old and new just right and the impact of the atmosphere is … energising. It felt lively but composed and if you are after a more casual feel, a little beer garden by the food truck (their kitchen) will be your corner.
Now to the food… Brilliant! If I was a chip connoisseur I was judge the chips, best in Adelaide! The steak was lovely and a Pepperjack Shiraz was the perfect pairing :)

An excellent chicken parmigiana with great chips but my companions had the Wagyu and Coorong Angus Scotch Fillet Steaks which were ordered medium rare but came out rare. The Wagyu left a pool of blood on the plate and the Scotch Fillet was unevenly cooked so varied between blue & medium. The meals looked great so it was a pity. The place has the atmosphere of a pub so was a bit noisy and the footy was showing on screens around us. Far from the worst steaks but could be better with more care in cooking since the word ‘steak’ is in its name. I’d have no problem stopping by for another parmi though :)

Quite decent lunch.
Good burger. Nice atmosphere.

Loving the relaxed weekday lunch atmosphere in the sunny beer garden, but I reckon that this place would get seriously mad for after work drinks and nights.
Its hard to figure out what the owners are aiming for… an ‘outback’ style or Texan steakhouse, perhaps an neuvo arty restaurant with the Warhol frames on the walls.
Don’t try to figure it out, just enjoy the steak, beers and semi-​humourous blackboard comments.

Great steak and good wine and beer all at great prices — excellent value for the top quality. No table service.

I met up here with a friend who had noticed it walking past one day. As of last night (24÷04÷14) they’d only been open a month and so hadn’t done much advertising yet. This place is down Victoria Street out the back of the Woolshed (on Hindley St) and I think at one stage was actually the beer garden. I got there about 5:30 and had a chance to talk to Abbey behind the bar who filled me in on the setup. Anyway, to the restaurant itself…
It’s decorated in the Americana/​Hogs Breath style of wood and galvanised iron, with a mixture of lounges, high stool tables and more conventional restaurant style seating. It’s not silver service — you order your meals and drinks at the bar, but the food is really, really good and servings are quite large for a reasonable price. There is a good selection of beers on tap and from my brief glance looked like a reasonable wine list.
I ordered the ribs and was served two large chargrilled beef ribs with a generous serve of vegetables and mash. The meat was tender, moist and very flavoursome, the chargrilling was crunchy but not burned and, unlike some other places, they didn’t go overboard with a chiminchurry coating or anything like that — the meat was good enough on its own.
My friend ordered a 350gm Scotch Fillet with chips and vegetables, and it was cooked perfectly according to his request (med-​rare).
We were in there early so the place wasn’t packed, and we received enough attention from the staff while still being able to talk without being constantly interrupted.
Summary: It’s new, the food and ambience is good, the location is handy and the prices are reasonable. Give it a try while you can still get in.
