About Nik's BBQ on The Lake

Generous platters of Greek char-grilled meats and hearty AB packs meet breezy lakeside views in Mawson Lakes. Set right opposite the water, Nik’s BBQ serves up serious charcoal-kissed comfort. Regulars lean toward the combo AB loaded with crispy chips and all the sauces, or shareable platters stacked with tender souvlaki alongside crisp Greek salad. Inside is relaxed and family-run, but the outdoor tables take full advantage of the open waterfront setting.

  • Lakeside dining: Open outdoor and indoor tables sit right opposite the water for casual waterfront meals.
  • Char-grilled Greek feasts: Generous combo ABs and sharing platters loaded with crispy chips and house sauces.
  • Steak challenge: A dedicated 2kg competitive steak challenge alongside hefty cuts for big appetites.

    Generous, shareable barbecue platters and fast service provide reassuring comfort, sending guests home thoroughly filled with ample leftovers.

    The serving sizes are generally quite large also, which is a bonus because I love having the left overs to take for lunch the next day.
