    Excellent as always, staff are always very attentive, food is delicious. It was very noisy inside the restaurant as we passed through to eat outside, however I think it would have been preferable due to the intense heat we experienced outside. Otherwise, as I said, excellent.

    The store was busy, but the staff were attentive and food came quickly given how busy it was. The decor, set up and vibe of the place is fantastic. For this visit, because it was full it was quite noisy inside, which reduced the ambience a bit. Lovely food, lovely staff.

    We usually love eating at somers general store for a relaxed and casual dining experience, however this time we were really disappointed when at just 1pm they told us they were out of fish and chips and burgers (both of which we wanted to order). Later after we finished eating we saw them serve fish and chips to another table. With a limited menu you would hope they were fully stocked for all menu items. Food was otherwise good (especially poke bowl and mushroom eggs dish), but chilli scrambled eggs were a bit bland and the pancakes were a bit too sickly sweet.
