Mr Crackles

Had the chicken katsu roll and it was absolutely delicious...I was full but I still got a pork roll after to try it. Place is definitely on that epic food time and can't wait to go back.

The wife and I were rolling home last night after watching We Are the Millers, (terrible...) and I was starving, so as we rolled down Oxford St, I saw Mr Crackles and yelled at the wife to pull over! I've been wanting to eat here for a while, mainly just because the name is so awesome, but also because I love pork and pork rinds!!! So, as the wife swung across multiple lanes of traffic and swerved into the bus lane, I ran into the shop, ordered a classic since I didn't even have time to read the menu, and then bounced around nervously looking into the street and back at the counter waiting for my sandwich to hit the counter! In less than a minute, that bad boy was out and I was back in the car! Amazing speed which is critical with a shop like this, that serves lots of drunks, and passersby. Now, on to that sandwich! Jebus Christo it was good! The pork, succulent, slightly salty, with a perfect flavor. Then just as you're loosing it over that, you hit a piece of crackling...words cannot describe the level of lust I was dealing with at this point, and I hadn't even hit the sauce and the fresh, crispy veggies layered at the bottom of the perfectly crusty soft bread of the roll!!! This seriously is the best sandwich I've had in Sydney, and probably the best one I've had anywhere in a long time, just nonsensically good!!! I'll be back on the regular, and can't wait to try the Mexican special they've got going this month!!! At $10, it was worth a whole lot more to me!

After a gentle few drinks around town, I ended up having a Manwich from Mr Crackles and it was truly a thing of beauty. Succulent pork in a bun with a touch of salad and the odd piece of crackling to give it a much needed crunch. Can't wait to in the area again for a second round. Simple food done very well.

The Crackles Classic pork roll is fantastic. The pork is so tender and flavorsome that each bite is a spectacle. Although I missed out on the bucket of crackling, the roll is topped with small pieces of crackling to add that surprise burst of salty pork fat flavor. The bread crust is crispy whilst the crumb portion soft and elasticy. Complementing the strong scent of the roast pork, the bread still provides a subtle and pleasing aroma of freshly baked bread.
