Ambiance in restaurant needs fixing. Great food but banging door a real killer. Seat near door is the worst so ask not to be there

The Food was great, the food took a bit of time and the ventilation was not the greatest. Still a good experience and would come back to eat.

Need some ceiling fans or something in the main dining area, was so stuffy and warm in there. The brisket was dry, but all the other food (especially the meat) was fantastic.

Expensive burgers but well worth it. The gourmet burger lived up to the hype on the menu. If you are really hungry then I suggest ordering a side of chips or onion rings, but they can be shared between 2 or 3 if not so hungry.

Terrible service. Waited 20 mins for our order to be taken. And a further 20 mins for a drinks to be served where one was forgotten. There was an additional long wait for our meals to be delivered which you dont mind when the food is worth waiting for. This was not.

I ordered the 'Naked Cheeseburger' and 'Crazy Pig Freak-a-Shake' (bacon milkshake w/candied bacon + 'oink ball' - pork meatball wrapped in streaky bacon). The cheeseburger was free (from promotional email) and the shake was $16. I personally thought the food was rather bland and one-dimensional, unnecessarily spiced, and undoubtedly overpriced. The cheeseburger was dominated by the taste of the tomato relish and mustard and the beef patty lacked any interesting flavour at all. The bacon shake was nothing more than a vanilla shake (and a basic one at that) with little salty bits of bacon mixed in; again, nothing to rave about. The 'oink ball' looked and tasted like (and I'm quite certain it was) beef not pork, and I wasn't a fan of the BBQ sauce they used; it dominated the flavour of the meatball and bacon too much and left much to be desired. Lastly, and oddly enough the highlight, the candied bacon was a good mix of sweet and salty, but the spices they used added little flavour and seemed to add burn for the sake of burn (this was actually a common problem among the burger and meatball too). Unfortunately though, the candied bacon tasted more like maple-bacon, which wasn't necessarily bad, just not what I was expecting when described as "candied". Overall, I was disappointed with the food I ordered and amount paid (even with the free cheeseburger, $16 for a boring salty shake and extras wasn't worth it). I was excited to try the extensive range the menu had to offer before going here, but given this disappointing experience, I don't see myself coming back for more unfortunately.

The food was out of this world, the staff were friendly and very accommodating and the atmosphere was cosy and inviting. I thought the place would have been bigger but was very happy at the size of the cafe. Loved it and I will be going back.

We were running late and they held the table. The service was amazing, we were seated and our order taken with a full house and only 2 wait staff. The wait staff were always attending other diners but they also made time to continue to accept further drink orders during our time.

Service was less than ideal. We waited 20 minutes for 1 drink and had to ask a second time for it. The chicken wings were dry and over sauced and the rest of the entree items in the all you can eat menu were heavily over sauced as well. The main meal however was delicious.

This was my first time. I thought the place was a lot smaller than I thought so you should always book a table I’m glad I did. The food we had was first class. The meat flavours were out of this world. The waiting stuff were very attentive and friendly. I couldn’t have asked for a better eating experiance. I’m now becoming a regular.

Food that we had was lovely - but very annoyed at the things they had 'run out of' at 6pm on a Saturday night. Disappointing to travel 45 minutes (mainly for their specials) and not able to have a single one.. One waitress was very rude as well and spent more time rolling her eyes than wanting to attend to customers.

Food was great, 2/3 rib pieces were falling off, last rib piece was a bit tough but still did not ruin the meal. Waiting until your meal was finished for the wrong drink was not great also. Would come back again

Great food and atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and coffee. Served promptly and did not feel rushed to leave. Great to know that they could split bills which was so handy
