Jesus Christ! I LOVE THIS PLACE! Big fan of pork rolls. This is just a dream come true! This place has the gourmet version of the famous Vietnamese Banh Mi (Pork Roll). They do also sell other stuff, the food I got was really amazing and mouth watering! It isn't expensive either, I really enjoyed my food and would visit whenever I get the chance too, I would consider this place more like a fast food as you grab your food and go. I do recommend this to those who do not care about 'fat', 'unhealthy' and 'calories'. You will not regret going here! read more

This place is so under rated, smooth kickback vibe until there's an explosion of flavor with ANYTHING you order. You can't beat it for a quick sandwich. Get the Sweet Pork roll, trust me you won't regret it read more

Mr Crackles - Sweet Pork roll - Fast Food Near Me - Darlinghurst, NSW

Only place to go if you're like and love a little crackle! Really nice food and friendly staff! Be warned though it is a busy place but that's to be expected as with any good food outlet! read more

So I finally got to try Mr. Crackles after hearing all of the hype and for me it didn't stack up. I got the classic roll and the pork on it was incredible. Succulent chunks of pork with amazingly crispy crackling - some of the best I've had. The salad and bread were also pretty good. But the problem I had is that the thing was so hard to eat. I either got a piece of bread and salad or a piece of pork. Rarely both at the same time as if I tried to get pork and bread, I'd have the biggest mouth full of food in history. It sort of reminded me of one of those burgers you see where you need a knife and fork to eat it. Not good. That said, if you've got a mouth the size of the Kiama blowhole, you'll love this sandwich. For those with standard sized mouths, you might frustrated with it and instead be left simply enjoying chunks of pork on their own (which isn't the worst thing in the world) read more

This place has massive and extremely delicious sandwiches. Each one is about a foot long, filled with various meat options (pork, chicken, lamb - and there is a vego option). The rolls cost $13.50, and sides are extra. You can also buy pork and lamb by the kilo. The sandwiches really fill you up, but you won't want to stop eating because they're so tasty. You can find this place on the main drag of Oxford Street, making it a popular weekend night option for people going out in the area. It is not a bad option for food before hitting up any of the Darlinghurst/Surry Hills nightlife, or even as a late-night snack (a massive snack) after going out. My only complaints are that there aren't many options (5 or so), seating is minimal and the wait to order can be long on a weekend night (15+ minutes), but then the sandwiches are made fairly quickly. None of that was enough to dissuade me to go back. The delicious sandwiches won me over! read more

We are visiting Sydney for the week and was recommended this place by a few friends, others had said it's not as good as it use to be. We wanted to give it ago. We arrived on Sunday evening about 9pm. The staff were terrible. He barked "what do ya want". My partner was after chicken but they were out. There were a lot of overseas people at Mr Crackles. God know what they though of the staff at this place. The food was good but bloody expensive for a bread roll. $12 read more

One of the best crispy pork in Sydney for sure. A little on the expensive side though. I had large salad with crispy pork for $17. Only 1/5 of the container was filled with pork. So that's not value for money. Especially for lunch. Will I come back? Maybe but not in a near medium term read more

Ok, to be fair I've never had Mr. Crackles sober, but I doubt that my opinion would change with my blood alcohol content. This place is always packed late night and there's a good reason why- instead of a nasty piece of pizza or an overrated kebab you can have a delicious and fresh roll from this place. I've been loyal to the chicken katsu roll and I swear it's prevented me from several hangovers. The wasabi mayo is excellent and the chicken isn't super heavy on the breading either. Get a cup of crackling while you're at it as well. If you're not familiar crackling is basically a crispy chewy porky goodness explosion in your mouth, especially when you combine it with one of their dipping sauces. So good!!!!! read more

OMG this place is the BOMB.COM!!! The roasted pork melts in your mouth while the skin is extra crispy and gives it delicious texture. I know my arteries did not thank me for all the fat I consumed, but OH WELL. We has the pork sandwich which had yummy delicious morsels of roasted pork and contrasting tangy coleslaw which offset the fat so well in a crispy baguette. I SO SO wish Mr. Crackles would come to America to let everyone taste your amazing skills! Definitely the best roasted pork I have EVER had! On another note the side of crackles was on the hard and chewy side so I wouldn't recommend it. Service was excellent! Husband accidently dropped the crackles and the front counter gave him a new one no charge! Love this place! read more

Delicious! The buffalo wings are spicy and tasty, and they are actually wings. The blue cheese sauce is a worthy accompaniment at a mere $1. The classic pork roll is generous and filling, and the crackling is suitably crunchy. A couple of suggestions for improvement... 1. While the tall benches are handy to stand at, they need commensurately high stools to sit on. 2. As the food is so decancantly sticky, those KFC-style wet wipes would be well received. read more

Bread is fluffy & doughy with just the right amount of crunch in the edges. Not so crunchy that it hurts your mouth. So. Good. Got the pork belly sandwich & - wow. Presentation was excellent, meat was just the right amount of juicey & soft. Sandwiches are hearty & will leave you full for hours. The smell lingers. It's great. read more

Hands down, best drunk feed in Sydney (excellent any time of the day, really). I can only really eat a couple of bites of the plain cracking, but the classic sandwich, the onion rings and the fries are freaking delicious. read more

Tried the crackling cup and lamb sandwich. The crackling is not for the faint of heart, but it's sooooo good. What a guilty pleasure. Mr. Crackles this wonderful synergy with the Bitter Phew, which is a nearby pub. Not sure if they do this with the other pubs nearby, but if you are at the pub you can order Mr. Crackles from the bar staff and pay there, and then Mr. Crackles will deliver the food to the pub and then it magically appears in front of you. It's fantastic. I would eat here again for sure, but only rarely so as not to have a heart attack. read more

If you want to get your sodium and cholesterol overload, this is definitely the spot! I'm not sure if it was only my "crackles" (AUD$5) but they were super salty. But the pork crackles lived up to it's name, I felt my teeth would become crackles afterwards. Couldn't finish it, had a few bites, but I hope a few birds came across the leftovers and enjoyed them. Would be great if it wasn't overly salty, but I will return to try the Hot dogs instead. read more

Best Pork I have ever put in my mouth, period. Thank you Sydney and Mr. Crackles! read more

Great char siu pork belly -- tender, sweet and well-portioned. For $13.50, this is definitely a solid sandwich similar to traditional Vietnamese banh mi. The roll was paired with carrots, lettuce and an Asian version of mayonnaise. I stopped by late at night and, after some debating, was quickly sold by the cashier on trying char siu ("better than the sweet pork in my opinion"). Not entirely the best I've had, since I am a local to NYC Chinatown, but still worth a visit! Seating here is sparse and lines form quickly so I'd recommend walking a block away down Oxford Street to Taylor Square. read more

Mr Crackles - Char siu pork belly roll - Fast Food Near Me - Darlinghurst, NSW

It's probably not going to blow your mindhole unless you're incredibly unsober, but it is great food. Excellent chilli cheese fries - though it'd be better if the cheese was melted on top, but no biggie, and really good selection of meat-filled deliciousness. Don't go in thinking you'll be sitting down to a tasty 'wich though - the 'wich is tasty but the seating is minimal. There's a narrow bench with 4 stools which is good for hunching over and cramming tasty meat rolls down your throat, but it's not a sit down and eat at your leisure place. Would be a great concept for a franchise too (ie I want one near my house! ) read more

Got into Sydney late night and managed to dodge a partyers and drunkards to get here. We shared an order of tater tots (which were disappointingly soggy) and the the sweet BBQ sandwich with onion rings, heaping amts of pork, some shredded cabbage which was tasty but on the tad salty side. I can definitely see how this would taste amazing as a late night snack on a night out but not really something I would want for dinner. No seating and if you stand around for too long you'll be subjected to pan-handling. read more

Yum. I can't describe this in many more words. Just yum. I went here a while ago and it was all so delicious and amazing. I highly recommend this. Prices are good, quality is high and food is superb. Seriously! Go here! read more

OMG! OMG!!!!!! Spring break. Rain. Too tired to cook....soooooo.... With the exception of the hot dogs (Australian hot dogs are not even a distant relative to the Chicago dog. Sorry.) the food is fab-u-lus! And they deliver!! Woo hoo!!!! We had hot dogs (no comment), lamb, chicken and pork belly. Chips (that's Aussie speak for French fries), 2 kinds of sweet potatoes and also white potatoes. My grandchildren loved the dogs. And there was a sandwich too but not sure what it was nor did I get a chance to try it - it was grabbed up too fast for me to get a taste! The pork belly, lamb and chicken were not just delicious but everything arrived HOT! Definitely will be having this again!!! Soon!!!! read more

If you want to eat some awesomely dirty, fatty, junk food, you gotta get Mr. Crackles. Go for the Bogan and thank me when you're done. It's the pork cracklin with chips, gravy, and cheese on a soft bun. The Sweet Pork was really good too. So get drunk and head over. read more

When I found out that this place makes roast pork crackling rolls, a trip was definitely in order. The Classic Pork Roll is a white roll stuffed with Vietnamese salad, mayo and chunks of freshly roasted pork belly... so good! The pork was succulent and tender with crispy crackling. We also had the paprika chilli fries, but unfortunately couldn't taste a lot of spice. I had medium chilli on my roll and it wasn't that hot to me, so I think they're just conservative with the heat. There's very limited seating inside, so it's best to pick a nice day and head to a nearby park. read more

Filthy pork in a good way. My partner really enjoyed this style of food, I'm a bit more squeamish about eating pig skin. read more

Mr. Crackles is one of the best sandwich shops in Sydney. When it first opened two years ago, it wow'd me, and now on my return trip to Sydney it wow's me again. Great food, that is original and yet comforting. This is everything that a good sandwich should be. (and is wasted on so many drunk people on Oxford St.) read more

The food looks great but sadly does not live up to expectations. The roast pork is okay at best -- it felt under seasoned. The crackling box was also pretty dry and flavorless. Again it looked much better than it tasted. While I realize I am comparing this to roast pork sandwiches from Portugal and Cuba, it was just a disappointment all around. Go abroad and see how a roast pork sandwich is supposed to taste! It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive but pack that thing with flavor. Sadly this is not it. read more

Only got to try the classic roll and some of the rosemary salted fries on my first visit last night - to our vast regret one of the ovens was broken which meant they couldn't serve the stand-alone crackling. Nonetheless, had some on the roll and it. was. amazing. So delicious and rich. The rolls are are a bit different to other banh mi I've had in that the salad part was dressed in a creamy dressing - so it was kind of akin to pork roll with Vietnamese coleslaw. Not being someone with a huge appetite (although they certainly cater to them), I probably could have skipped the regular roll and got a small. I will definitely be back, though I'm glad for the sake of my waistline that it's not closer to work! read more

Waited 2 years since i first hear of this place till i finally went. The classic pork sandwich is everything its pictured to be...GOOD. got a side of tattor tots little to salty. Great little classic hole in the wall feel for some great street food read more

Located on busy Oxford Street is a food stand where awesome rolls are concocted to fulfill your sandwich fix. Comparable to the Vietnamese banh mi or to the USA's southern style po' boy sandwiches, Mr. Crackles serves pork, chicken, and lamb on their popular rolls. Their slow cooked pork with a crispy skin is the most popular, but the other meats are also delicious. I've had the chance to try three different rolls and they were all great in my book. My favorite is the Crackles classic which comes with chunks of the slow cooked pork with the tasty crispy skin on a hard roll. The combination of the pork and Vietnamese salad is so simple but so good. The chicken katsu with wasabi mayo comes in second as my other fav, the way they get the skin cooked is just perfect, it gives the sandwich the right kind of crunch! The last sandwich I've tried was the sweet pork which is a braised pork belly on a soft white bread with cabbage and mayo, its good but I wouldn't order it because I loved the Crackles Classic and Chicken Katsu ones more. And don't forget to order a side of nicely flavored thin chips (fries), they go great with your sandwich. It's easier to order for takeaway since there are only a few stools on each side of the walls to eat. Overall, a great place to hit up for lunch and after hours if you're ever in the CBD. read more

My only regret is that we did not come here sooner. We had the classic and chicken katsu sandwiches, with a side of chilli salt and paprika fries. Unfortunately they were out of wings when we went, so I'll have to try them next time. read more

Good place to get some decent sandwiches and wings at late night to take a break from intense clubbing sesh haha

I love how this place opens late on the weekends making it a perfect stop for drunchies (drunk munchies). Also, they prepared the food really quick! So didn't have to stand around waiting, drunk and hungry! I've only tried the crackles classic and sweet potato wedges. I looooove the cracklings in the sandwich. It gave it a really good crunch! ( I wouldn't order a side of cracklings though because I think it tastes better in a sandwich rather than on its own). The sandwich had just the right amount of pork belly in it. The sweet potato wedges were good, but i think i'd prefer them as fries instead of wedges. Overall, it was a delicious inexpensive meal that was really filling. read more

Wow best pork roll I've ever had - decided to give Mr Cackles a visit after a friend recommended it. I went in and was greeted by a very friendly staff member who suggested some of the popular rolls. For me pork and gravy just goes together so well I couldn't go past the Bogan which was pork belly, gravy, fries and cheese on a soft French bun. Wow the crackling was so tasty and perfect, the meat tender and tasty and the whole combo of fries, gravy and soft bun was on point. Would definitely return and even consider grabbing the box of just crackling as it was so damn delicious. Must visit in Darlinghurst/Surry Hills area!! read more

Best sandwich I have ever had in my life. If you live in sydney or are just visiting a stop here is a must!!!

Food is delicious but there's so much you'll need to share now they no longer offer half rolls...

Great concept, poor execution. The meat itself was great. The baguette was sliced in a way that put too much pressure on the joint, making the sandwich break apart halfway through. It was also packed with sloppy additions to the meat, which only made the sandwich more of a mess. The crackles lacked any flavor at all, we didn't even get halfway through the box. The tots had good flavor but were one-dimensional. Completely imbalanced flavors. read more

If you're ever in Sydney, this place is a must. I usually love Vietnamese food but this place was more of an Asian fusion. The crunchy pork belly sandwich was amazing. It was flavorful and fresh served on a French roll. Decently priced and friendly staff! The eating area is quite small so I would recommend take-away. read more

Mr Crackles - OMG - Fast Food Near Me - Darlinghurst, NSW

I love this place! Sandwiches are the perfect food, and Mr. Crackles may have my favorite sandwich of all time. I had the special, the Cubano porkfest. THE BEST SANDWICH EVER. Perfect combination of meat, pickles, and cheese. I came back to try the original with the Vietnamese salad. Pretty good, but nothing beats that Cubano. Perhaps a bit pricey, with the fries being close in flavor to Maccas but with a five dollar price tag. But I'll come back for those sandwiches... read more

Mr Crackles has become my new drunk food go to, this by no means implies that you must be drunk to enjoy it, I loved it sober as well. It just means that I can order a sandwich and chicken wings and not feel bad about it....until the next morning. They play awesome music and the food is great so get in there! read more

We met up at Mr. Crackles to find a menu stacked full of items that I will be back to try when I'm hungry again. So we both had the roll of the month which was superb. The bread was extremely soft which was perfect with the sticky BBQ sauce served with the pork. Once we finished our rolls my brother asked whether we should get a box of crackling which was great in itself but for $5 I expect a bit more than four pieces of crackling especially when there is a gigantic stack of crackling for all to view. But like most crackling you will need something to drink to counter the perfect saltiness. I will be returning because I need to try everything on the menu before I leave Sydney. read more

Have returned for their roast pork roll many times over. The best darn sandwich out there. If I weren't so calorie conscious, I would eat this every other day.. read more
