If you find yourself in Townsville (Cannon Park) you’re lucky enough to be in a part of Australia that has its own Hog’s Breath Cafe. This legendary restaurant franchise brand has been around since 1989, and while many things have changed during the last 33 years, there are many things that haven’t. Like our exclusive Prime Rib, famous in these parts. And our Curly Fries – you can’t get them anywhere else. But the thing you won’t find in any other restaurant is our warmth, welcoming smiles, great food and atmosphere, and just that slight bit of sassy attitude. Cause that’s Hog’spitality. Here in Townsville (Cannon Park) we love supporting our locals – from suppliers, to events, sponsoring sports, and working with community groups – we’re all one big family. And you’re invited to join us – so we will see you soon!
