Maple Leaf Meats began its journey in 2016 with a simple idea: to bring bold, unforgettable flavour to the streets of Melbourne. Launching with our retro-inspired food van, we quickly became a local favourite in the inner west, known for knockout wings, slow-cooked ribs, and Melbourne best burgers that kept people coming back for more.

Our approach has always been hands-on and authentic. Every sauce was made from scratch, and it didn’t take long before our signature recipes developed a loyal following. Customers kept asking for bottles of sauce to take home, which inspired us to expand into manufacturing our own Signature Sauces. Today, those same sauces — Maple BBQ, Backyard BBQ, and Tomato Sauce — remain the heart of our flavour story, with absolutely nothing artificial, only the good stuff.

Over the years, Maple Leaf Meats has become more than just a food van — it’s a community. We’ve built a strong presence in Melbourne’s inner west, serving families, friends, and food lovers who share our passion for real food with spirit. From local events to private celebrations, we’ve proudly delivered a taste of nostalgia and quality that represents who we are.

Eight years on, our retro van still rolls with the same mission: to serve great food that brings people together. Whether it’s wings, ribs, or burgers, paired with our iconic sauces, Maple Leaf Meats continues to celebrate flavour, community, and the joy of sharing good food.
