The Beefy's Family Story

We’re as Australian as the meat pie itself!

Beefy’s is an Australian business based on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. We’re about as Aussie as the meat pie itself. The first Beefy’s store opened in the Aussie World precinct in 1997. Proving that meat pies aren’t just for cold climates or the footy season, Beefy’s has grown thanks to the year-round support of South-East Queensland locals.Today, you’ll find Beefy’s in locations across South-East Queensland. 

ANY TIME’S A GOOD TIME FOR A BEEFY’S

Some of our customers start their day with a Beefy’s. For others, their Beefy’s is a snack, lunch or part of a meal to end their day. Then there are those who have a Beefy’s to celebrate a team win, a birthday or special occasion. Any reason will do.

Our pies and pastries are eaten in store, on the run and at home by tradies, tourists, families and pie enthusiasts, of course. We’ve got something on the menu for everyone, including gluten free meat pies and sausage rolls that are not only endorsed by Coeliac Australia, they’re award winners. 

In fact, our reputation as Australia’s best gluten free. bakery is growing, with the Beefy’s Gluten Free Steak, Bacon & Cheese Pie awarded ‘WINNER Australia’s Best Gluten Free Pie’ at the Official Great Aussie Meat Pie Competition in 2020 and 2021. Our other pies have received awards too. And while this makes us proud what we value most is that we keen the quality high and win awards with our customers daily.
