    Pulled pork and brisket could do with some work. Staff and beers are great. Imo pulled pork should be served drenched in a sauce (to prevent the drying out or over cooking of the meat) and the brisket potentially the same or refine reheating processes to ensure a more suitable end result product.

    Great place to gather, prices a little on the high side for drinks. Meal good value, didn't have to wait to long. Seating is well spread, but found the stools very uncomfortable. Great music on Sunday arvo!

    Thanks to all the staff there for accommodating more people turning up at our dinner than we thought it was no hassle to them to move tables and set us up. The food was hot and amazing. The drinks went down a treat thanks so much for everything great night

    The food was nice but drowned in sauce, way too heavy handed on the sauce which spoilt the flavour of the food. I couldn’t even eat my salad as it was too drenched in sauce so that was a waste of $24. The chips were excellent as was the dill sauce which was on the side…thankfully! It’s a really nice venue and great staff but the singer on today sounded bad, the sound was echoing and so much base it was hard to listen to, couldn’t even hear the singers voice over the feedback, ruined the ambience. I’m sure he’s usually a good singer but there was something wrong with the sound or his equipment. Couldn’t wait to get out of there today. I usually love sticking around for a while but not today sadly.
