5 of us visited 2 had steak sandwich..the raw onion isn't a good thing ..Fried onion on a burger or toasted sandwich is much better .The bread not toasted very well and the steak was a bit ordinary.
2 had Lamb roast..roasted potatoes were raw inside ...meat tough and tiny amount of mint gel
1 had salmon. This was a great meal
Ww were looking forward to sitting outside but sadly the rain put a stop to that.
Back area a good spot for anyone with dogs .
Atmosphere inside would of been nicer if fire was going . It was a cool day . Just a suggestion.
Staff friendly .

Travelled to this old pub looking for a nice pub feed for the 3 of us.
The meat was deep fried and burnt dry on the outside, Raw not cooked in the middle. Vegetables were boiled dry.
We left our meals, embarrassed for whoever had attempted to prepare these meals.
The beer was cold only positive.
Do not eat here.

Visited for lunch based on recommendation old pub. Not much atmosphere. Very ordinary food, none of the dishes stood out and fries were uncooked, Friendly staff, service a bit slow. Had live music going which was nice. Small tap list. Seemed popular but not sure why?

Visited while passing through on a weekend and only because the pub on the highway itself was displaying a notice that their kitchen was not functioning.

The venue is distinctly old and dated, as any "historical" building is likely to be. It's a shame though that they haven't brought at least some of their general functionality into the 21st century. On the day we visited the great Australian weather was putting on a full show of force with a steaming hot day. The inside dining area was hot and humid. The venue lacked air-conditioning and the ceiling fans were not running. The staff turned them on at request but they did nothing to move the air around, and served only to dislodge dust and the standard aroma of old buildings.

The food, as evidenced by the "lunch size" Chicken Parmigiana pictured was disappointing in the least. The chicken schnitzel, was as big as 3 chips. An almost laughable experience for the prices.

The service was very slow, with a single person manning the bar and taking restaurant orders. The kitchen did manage to get the food out together so the problems appear to be tied purely to the business decision makers. All patrons left feeling disappointed with no real desire to return which is sad when character locations such as this rely on either word of mouth recommendations, or more commonly these days reviews such as this.

Stopped in for lunch on the way up the coast. Hidden gem of a pub with the loveliest service and great pub food. We were able to sit outside with our puppy which was a great bonus.

Stopped into this classic Queenslander style pub for lunch while passing thru Tairo. The large menu with relatively high pricing gave us high hopes for a great feed. Unfortunately my partner found her steak sandwich very bland and my crumbed cod tasted like an old wet boot. Generally, the establishment was very outdated and needed basic maintenance:, overgrown gardens, mud floor and flies in dining area. On the upside, the staff were efficient, the bar had some interesting memorabilia and live music kept our spirits up.

The front end of our country pub camping had us staying here for a night across the road. We ventured into the old pub at sunset and enjoyed a night of live music great drinks and laughs with the locals .
The meal was fabulous, a perfectly cooked tomahawk steak for us to share represented brilliant value and didn’t disappoint! Recommended to anyone travelling through this tiny town on their north or south.

Tucked away from the main road, good choice of indoor or outdoor seating. We visited for Sunday lunch. Staff very friendly, great service. Prices very reasonable, with wide variety of meals on offer. Portion size perfect & veggies cooked just right.
