The Grazing Goat Cafe - Mackay, Queensland

Sure! Here’s a proofread version of the review with improved clarity and flow:

What happened to this place? The juice was served in a small glass, was watery, and still cost $10. The food tasted okay, but the portions were very small but still cost almost $30. The Eggs Benny were overcooked, and the bread was hard. This was once a great place to eat, but sadly, we will not be returning.

Had breakfast this morning at Grazing Goat. Staff seemed not very friendly, they were young and it did state they were new so I understand that and was nice to them. Our order was taken at 9:05, meals did not come out until 9:55 which my friend ordered an eggs bene, when it came out the eggs were so well done, not like a classic eggs bene. The hollandaise sauce was not sauce. It was melted butter and ruined the whole meal. She did not eat it. My meal than came out 15 minutes after my friends meal and was not to bad (I ordered savoured mince). The bread was very soggy but I ate it overall it was ok. Our drinks also were initially served to us 5 mins after we ordered but by the time we got our meal our drinks were warm. One nice staff member did say “sorry for the wait” but that was it. I also ordered a pot of tea last time I was at this restaurant, with 5 sugars on the side (I only used 3) but the girl who made yelled out “I have a pot of tea with a side of diabetes” I was sitting right next to the area where they make the coffee and teas and heard her. She then brought it straight to me so I knew that it was aimed at me. I don’t think I’ll be back again. Very unhappy

I came in around 8am and there was only 1 table with patrons seated and no one else. They had signage advising “all staff are new” which is no problems, I’m happy to give a little leniency. However my coffee took 55mins to come, and it was wrong (I asked for a cup and got a mug. I don’t like that much milk). My food took 65mins and was also wrong and honestly, just not nice. The hollandaise sauce was watery and gross, the eggs had been poached in that much vinegar that they were almost inedible. Definitely not a nice experience

*Editing my post*Wow has this place gone down hill!! Waited for ages to be seated (a young staff member looked directly at us and walked straight past us - there were no other customers!) I Ordered eggs Benedict and the bread, if you can call it that was not sourdough! Was more like 2 tiny slices of gluten free Multi grain bread - which I didn't order! Took it back up to get it corrected as I wanted sourdough bread like it's supposed to be, the young girl just walked straight past me not even acknowledging me again!. I then had an argument with the older lady who made excuses about stock/supplier issues when the cook (definitely wouldn't call them a chef) held up a full loaf of sourdough! And the rest of the table got sourdough with their orders so why was mine any different? the hollandaise sauce was miniscule and runny and tasted weird, it was probably one of the worst meals I've ever had and definitely don't match the photo from a year ago that I posted. To top it off the juices we received were in a small glass and were basically just watered down juice that they charge $10 for! It was also cooler outside then inside as the air-conditioning wasn't working. I can see this place closing down in the near future if they continue on this path, which is a shame as they used to have amazing food! Would give 0 stars if I could it was that bad! Waste of money and calories!!

I had the eggs Benedict with mushrooms on toasted sourdough and my husband had a gluten free toasted mushroom sandwich. My meal was absolutely huge and was fresh and full of flavour, eggs were cooked to perfection. The only thing I didn't really enjoy was the coffee but overall was a great experience.

Pretty disappointed. This used to be a really great place to eat. Unfortunately, it’s not the same with the new management. Overall atmosphere and service is very poor. The online ordering systems are not up-to-date with the food that they serve. I hate to say it doesn’t feel very clean. I won’t be returning.

I stopped by for breakfast - eggs benedict with bacon, and a latte.

The eggs benedict sounded expensive at first, but turned out to be worth it because the serving size was huge.

The latte was quite nice.

I ate inside. The interior is nice, but it was very warm. Although there's air conditioning, I couldn't really feel it and there was no airflow inside. On a warm day, I'd recommend sitting on a shady table outside instead.

Overall, a nice cafe with nice food.

I get the feeling that these guys are not getting a fair go since the management changed. I don’t think these bad reviews are fair. I had the goat big breakfast. It was divine. Best mushrooms I’ve had. Best crispy bacon. Best berry smoothie. I thoroughly recommend.

First and last experience here at the grazing goat. The cafe seems to be run by kids, and I understand that they have to start somewhere as their first time job, but maybe some training would help!?
The service unfortunately was not the greatest, it took quite a while for two coffees (if I can even call them coffees, it tasted like a weak instant coffee, I’ve had way better at McDonald’s) and a baby chino (which was $3 for some frothy milk) to come out.
Unfortunately not the experience I was expecting and really disappointed.
