Golden State Menu
Our Menus
SoCal is all about fresh & modern Southern Californian ‘share-style’ street food, packed with Latin American spices alongside ‘low’n’slow’ smoked meats, house-made sauces and freshly indulgent sides.
The food and drinks are a reflection of what is commonly found along HWY 101. Our New Head Chef Kieth Dsouza alongside Applejack legend and Butler Head Chef Amber Doig have collaborated on a fresh new menu direction featuring NEW tacos, shares and mains! The creativity has produced a delicious mix of share foods comprising of fresh seafood, North American inspired flavours and Mexican dishes. The extensive wine list is comprehensive yet approachable and includes Australian and international selections.
