Visited Fermented Bar & Eatery with my parents. The staff were friendly and attentive, always checking if everything was okay, which was a nice touch. The food was decent loved the dumplings but overall, it was pretty average for the price. On the plus side, the cocktails were really enjoyable!

Last Sunday my family and I went here. The customer service was good when we arrived and welcoming but unfortunately the food was terrible. The chicken nibbles were so burnt, hard and some weren’t cooked properly at all. The pizza had absolutely no flavour and was very chewy, the fish and chip meal had problems too the batter was way overcooked. The burger tasted good until I got half way through the burger and realised the meat was undercooked. They asked how our meal was and I let them know and all they said was “Really? Sorry to hear that.” Two of us out of five also ended up with very crook stomachs. A lot of food was left behind as it was uneatable. Be interesting to know if this was a one off with a dodgey cook or an ongoing issue. After the amount of money spent, it was definitely not worth it and we won’t be back there again!

We had an amazing experience at Fermented once again. Food perfect and the staff amazing. I didn't realize till I got in the car that they were meant to have closed 50mins prior but they never said anything to our group which I was amazed at. Diners for life there

We come here quite often, the beers are great and the food is your usual fried fare, always tasty enough for a casual bite. However, we’ve noticed the portion sizes, especially for the sharing platter, seem to get smaller each time we visit. It’s a bit disappointing as we love supporting local, but the value isn’t quite what it used to be.

Awesome staff. Very friendly and patient. The food is always great, on the very rare occasion there is a bit of an issue but nothing major, I must emphasise that this is VERY rare. The atmosphere is awesome as well, love the portraits. My favourite one being the avengers portrait before the toilet. I highly recommend Fermented!

We had dinner here while checking out Brewtown for the first time one Friday. They had lots of food and drink options to choose from, including plenty for those with dietary restrictions e.g. vegetarian. Heaps of beer options to choose from being Brewtown also. We were super disappointed that the whole of Brewtown closes at 9pm but did enjoy our time at Fermented. Recommend calling in for a beer and a bite to eat, particularly the jalapeno poppers or chilli chips, both a win.

Ordered through doordash. Pretty good food. We loved the dumplings and pork belly bites. A bit heavy handed with the cheese though! Both on the loaded fries and pizza. Couldn't see or taste the peperoni but it was there somewhere.

A great spot for our group of 20+ in a semi-outdoor/covered area. Some of the food was great (pizzas) but the chicken burger bun was very stale and chicken overcooked. Also don't recommend the fried chicken as it's just tiny off cuts of pieces of chicken the size of a 50c coin. A great spot for groups though and awesome selection of drinks.

My friend had an issue with her burger but very quickly the staff attended to her and solved it. My 2yo niece approved of the kids pizza and the cheesy garlic bread. I got the Keto Salad and it was good , was just missing a kick - added some hot sauce and it was yum. The dumplings are juicy and really yum flavour. Only thing I would say - they have a beautiful selection of sharing type foods but platters are limited - either $28 for Snack or $70 for Main. Would be nice to have platter sizes and prices and a selection of what can be chosen for that price to be able to enjoy more of what is to offer. Overall we enjoyed our experience, huge portion sizes and the lovely staff. Will visit again for sure.
