“Really good food, but very small portions for the price. Look, I don't mind paying a lot of money for good food, but giving an amazing bene with one piece of bread instead of two saves you $0.10 and takes away my full enjoyment of the meal. I would be posting a 5 star review if I just received two pieces of bread.”

Big breakfast was good too. Also,best friand ever.Coffee was ok. I think morning is the perfect time to visit this cafe. Other times the cafe seems very busy and you will get least attention.”

“A lovely local pub meal. The pan fried blue cod was outstanding and hubby's snitzel definitely hit the spot. A calm atmosphere. Would highly recommend.”

“Not sure if they have food. I just got some Japanese from across the road and ate it in the garden bar. This pub has been in the news a bit. It is what it is man. Good pokies. Tradies in bare feet drinking Steiny big bots from the bottle. Old drunks, the whole nine yards. Think Once Were Warriors, but whiter.”
