This place is wonderful!! Super dog friendly, the food is honest great fresh tasty and filling at a great price!! The berry smoothie was delicious and thick and my burger wonderful! I’ve put this place in my address book, second time here and it’s a solid simple great place!!
Only thing I’d change is the bread on the breakfast to a sourdough or wholemeal.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I often travel for work and am in hotels without cooking facilities and it is so nice to be able to eat something that tastes fresh and home cooked. The lady (who I assume runs the place as she is always there, not sure of her name) is so so friendly and accommodating.

The meals are really fairly priced, cheaper than a pub meal. I can’t comment on the fish and chip etc takeaways, but the meals you give 1-2 hours notice for are always great.

My husband and I felt like a healthy meal after our weekend away, and we were really pleased with the generosity and taste of the meals we ordered. I ordered a chicken salad, expecting something small and leafy but was pleasantly surprised with a massive salad filled with fun veggies.

Food was great and good value hence any stars. Truly not my best encounter as the place had "staffing issues" I was told. There was adequate staff for turnover with some seemingly unoccupied, so I think it's just bad management and there was no need for us to wait 45 minutes with few customers in the shop. They will make it right but at the moment I think they will stuff up your order.

Do NOT waste your money here. My hot chips were soft, stale, and had no salt on them (I asked for salt). didn’t eat any of it as it was completely inedible, not even my dogs wanted it and they legit eat anything. Rlly not exaggerating it was that bad. Potato scallops had horrible unappealing batter that was dripping oil everywhere. Very clearly didn’t let any of the deep fryer food drain after being taken out. Everything was drenched with oil to an excessive point, including the bag that it was in. please start draining ur fried food I am not lying when I said I had to throw everything away :((

My family and I broke down and were stranded in Gympie, while my wife stayed with the car I took our 2 year old to try and find food. Given the stressful events a good meal would have gone a long way.. unfortunately I cannot comment on the food.. We stood at the counter for ages while 2 staff members assisted another customer having payment issues. Other staff members were also in view. Not once did anyone acknowledge us or even look at us. When they finished with the other customer both staff members simply turned around and walked away from me without even speaking. I had no choice but to take my daughter elsewhere as we were not offered any service or assistance at all. The whole experience made a difficult day even more disappointing.

I’m usually not one to leave bad reviews, but I’m so upset with my meal. Ordered a roast of the week and the roast “lamb” was the so chewy I couldn’t even finish it and I was starving, and the taste being as if it was frozen or left in a fridge for days and reheated in a microwave. I don’t expect anything to be super fresh but I didn’t expect that, I do believe you’s have heaps of delicious things the burgers are great but the roasts shouldn’t taste or be that solid..
