Well... well... well... there's a place in Rosedale that has no pretense... it's simply a delight. We stopped for lunch and were delighted with the experience. There are interesting things in the café to look at while you wait , not that you wait for very long. AND they have games, so you can play games while you eat or wait... or just have coffee. Not just for children, adults can also enjoy these games. The menu is basic... with a good selection of pizzas. We ordered a chicken pizza and then asked for a pizza I had seen on their Facebook page, but was not on the menu. The chicken pizza was really tasty... the Nutella Marshmallow pizza was incredibly sweet AND packed a punch with sweetness....
From the moment you walk through the open double doors you are welcomed as the front staff offer their best smile. Their woodfired pizza is simply the best in the region. If you're wondering about the freshness of their ingredients, wonder no more. Stay at the venue whilst waiting for your pizza and you will see Chef Kyle go to their in house garden and freshly pick your ingredients for your delight. The available Nutella donuts and Churros also finish the course amazingly!
We visited for lunch today and had a great experience. The coffee was delicious and the staff were very welcoming. We tried the chicken burger with wedges, which was absolutely delicious but so filling that I could only eat half! The owner took the time to explain the smoking and cooking process, making it the only original smokehouse in the area for miles. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope it continues to thrive. Thank you to the staff for a great meal!
We love getting take away pizza or eat in from this place. They make lovely pizzas with tasty fresh ingredients. Also very helpful that they'll do traditional flavours that aren't on the menu and are always happy to change things to suit you. Great pizza, not a long wait for the pizza and the cafe is an nice cozy place to eat or pass the time whilst you wait. Service is warm, friendly and approachable.

Fantastic afternoon at smokehouse 81 with Courtney singing. Resturant full and atmosphere sensational. Roo skewers melted in your mouth, scotch fillet steak cooked to perfection and brisket burger was a flavour explosion. Caught up with people havent seen for years unexpected. Happy polite bubbly waitresses . Well done Brad and Brian.
Delicious food (brisket burger was amazing), generous portion sizes, lovely relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and good tunes. Now we are in a food coma, and it was worth it. Way better than most places in Traralgon, we will definitely be telling our friends about this little gem. Thanks team, we’ll be back!
The restaurant offers delicious food, a pleasant atmosphere, and efficient service. The pizzas are considered the best in the area. I would definitely recommend this place and am happy to support a much-needed addition to the town. Two thumbs up!
Had an amazing meal with my coworkers today. I highly recommend the ribs and antipasto plate. Thanks for the fantastic experience.

Only open in the evenings throughout winter. Had a wonderful steak with a delicious fresh salad. They are licenced.
