North Lakes Sports Club - North Lakes, Queensland

Spacious lounge area, strong air conditioning, would be a perfect spot for hot summer chilling. Highly recommended sign up as a member, only $5.5 for 5 years and we used the $5 discount on meals straight away. Strongly recommend as a chitchat spot. Btw, many elderly there but i love the place

Nice big venue. TAB is a bonus. As is live Sports. Food is good and there’s lots to choose from. Prices are on point.
Good for a day or evening out. Or both if you can handle it.

Hubby and I went to dinner here last night for my birthday. This is the 3rd time we have been here and we were disappointed. Our entree of vegetable samosa was 4 small pieces the size of half a cornchip. Inside was a strange flavoured green paste with the odd pea. For $16 so not worth it. I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli which was ok, just ok. Hubby had the stuffed chicken breast which was very dry and the stuffing inside almost non existent. The potato was also very dry. He ate 2/3 of it as he was hungry. We did inform the staff who apologised and said they had been having trouble with the dish but didn't offer a discount or voucher which would have been nice.
So on the whole not an enjoyable meal unfortunately.
They can do steaks and schnitzel well though.

Always pretty reliably good. The vegetarian pizza and curry filo with salad are my go tos. I love the $2 soft serve in a cup or cone. It's light and creamy and an awesome cheap dessert. There are also toppings you can choose if you like.
The music as in duos and solos are usually good for a listen or dance and the section where they play has comfortable booths.
There is a nice outdoor section you can dine in too.

Incredible value for money good honest food, and friendly service in comfortable surroundings - wine list in restaurant is small but well chosen. Pro tip you need to be a member to get the benefits!

We were at Crave Cafe on Saturday 8th March. Sharon and the staff were so professional in what was the busiest afternoon we have ever experienced. All of the girls worked really well together. We would like to compliment Kate especially. Kate poured many drinks with a friendly smile for everyone. She showed her professionalism under a lot of pressure.
Thanking you, Tony and Karyn Gutteridge.

Visited North Lakes Sports Club for the first time to enjoy a group lunch.

My overall impression of the club was positive. It was bustling with people, had ample seating throughout, several dining options, a large and well-stocked bar, and plenty of pokies. If anything, parking may be limited during peak times.

We booked a table in the Banyan restaurant and, after being seated, had to wait quite some time to be served. The gent that approached us was very pleasant, although he didn't specify why he was there, so we ended up directing the conversation, ordering food and drinks at the same time.

The meals and drinks were promptly served, and our entire group enjoyed their selections. These ranged from my Seafood Risotto, an unusually cheesy yet really flavoursome option, through to a mega-sized pork belly, decent fish and chips, and an attractive home-styled lamb roast and veges. Our drinks were generic beer and softdrink choices, so not much to say there. They were cold and tasted good!

Once the meals were finished, we unfortunately sat and waited for an extended period of time, with no service offered at all. The table remained full of empty plates, no second round of drinks was able to be ordered, and dessert, which had been selected by those interested, also had to wait.

When the gent finally returned, I mistakenly presumed it was to do all of the above. Instead, he politely explained that they were closing in one minute, so could we possibly complete payment. I therefore told him we wanted dessert and had waited patiently to order these. Luckily, he was happy to oblige and, five minutes later, the Black Forest Panna Cotta and Tiramisu arrived. Both were enjoyed, although the Panna Cotta was much closer to being Chocolate Mousse. Still tasty but not what I'd expected.

Overall, the venue is spacious, clean-and-tidy, and offers plenty of drink, food, and entertainment choices. Meals and drinks met expectation but were definitely at the pricing high end. My mate's membership saved us $23, a nice touch.

Service was friendly throughout, but the lengthy periods of waiting, while watching 4-5 staff members roaming the area cleaning tables, setting tables, etc., was rather frustrating. This was the one big disappointment of our visit and the reason I didn't offer 5 stars. That being said, I'm willing to return another day to hopefully enjoy improvements on this front.
