Well well well, the Alma hotel hey? My family and I have lived in willunga for the last 20 years and have an appreciation for local food and service. We have had many great meals in the past at the Alma hotel however we visited tonight and had the worst we've ever had in any local restaurant. My partner is a hospitality worker and knows better than anyone the pressure put on kitchen staff during a busy period however the wait on the food was ridiculous. Our table waited for roughly an hour and the table next to us who ordered at a similar time were waiting for much longer. Onto the quality of the food. The marinara pasta was just plain pasatta straight out of the jar, completely flavourless. Not a herb or flake of salt in sight. The cauliflower dish was just cauliflower cooked 3 different ways but so bland with little variation on the plate. The lamb korma curry was so bland that it was inedible. We love our community and had high hopes for our local pub but unfortunately the entire experience was a let down. Credit to the floor staff for being lovely and holding the floor. This review comes from an appreciation of food and service. We hope the Alma hotel management takes this constructively.

I went for a meal with my husband, son and daughter in law. Every meal was cooked to perfection. The service was great. Me and my husband are over 60 and was very impressed to find a seniors menu. They are alot cheaper and smaller serves which is great as sometimes meals can be way too big and alot gets wasted. Oh yes....not to forget, it was a very cold day and we got the table right next to the fireplace. Will definitely be going again.

Definitely the best country pub in Adelaide!
Entrees, perfect home-made pasta
Rest of the day cooked to perfection with beautiful vegetables, fresh!
And the sticky date pudding was to die for!
Eric Eric the chef is fantastic!
Bar staff, hilarious. Excellent service
Wait, staff, adorable
10 out of 10

This hotel is the most fantastic weekend place to drive to. We love it.
My chicken schnitzel covered 2/3 of the plate. Could have fed us both, veg was great too.
My husbands beef schnitzel was more like a piece of tender rump with crumbs, he said its best to date.

Will be back for Motjers day.
Staff are the best
Thanks to the hotel for always giving us great service and beautiful food. Its aleays worth the drive x

Wow!, First off came in and was greeted very kindly by a lady with tattoos, wish I got her name because her service was top tier!
Our family came down for lunch and I wasn't expecting anything crazy for a pub but WOW! The food is great! Everyone was happy, I got a beef snitzel and I was AMAZED with the quality of the beef! and chips are great and crispy.
Would definitely come again and recommend!

Really sweet place, met Tuka she's a sweet dog and Tyler is awesome. The staff were very laid back... Maybe it was just a quiet night or the locals didn't know how to take us lol. The menu was great, we schnitzels must have been tempura? They were massive just a shame it had barely any salad... Enjoyed the pool table and keen to go back.

Waited 2 years to return. But for tonight's fun , table for 2 and they totally forgot one meal!
3rd strike I'm done
At least 2 other decent pubs in town.

A very pleasant lunch with huge serves of well-prepared food and excellent service. The serves could have been smaller believe it or not as my wife and I do not like to waste food - that said, take out containers were supplied.
Unfortunately is was VERY noisy, but understandable given it's lunchtime at a pub, but choose your time I guess.

This is a lovely hotel, friendly efficient staff and good meals. They cope well with large groups too so great to celebrate an event. Sometimes have entertainment.

Attended a large function but the staff didn't know how to coordinate with the function organisers as to what should be served at what time. Fish and chips meal came with roast dinner vegetables which arrived stone cold (salad would have been a better choice). Ice cream was served in melted state (served out too early).

The staff are amazing and atmosphere is welcomed with wood fires ind each room.

My only concers was with the preparation of food from the chief.
It needs twigging of the portions presented on the plates.
Salads needs cucumber and tomatos etc.

The chicken and beef was half to what you normally get at other restaurants Australia wide.
Chips although very well cooked needs to be better proportioned, just add a little more.
For the prices or a 4 to 5 star restaurant in a heritage pub we were expecting a meal to match.

Will come back just feel the chief needs to execute the meals to a higher standard.

Service was really friendly and went above and beyond. Great food, well cooked and reasonably priced. Our first visit but it won't be our last.

It's not very often that you get greeted when you enter a pub these days, so to be greeted by 3 separate staff as we walked in and found a table made us instantly feel at home. Great service, good meal sizes and no overinflated prices. Would definitely come back again next time we're in the area. You can't go wrong with this classic country pub.

Great place for Meals and your favorite beverages.
I ordered the special of Chicken Parmigiana and a Pint of Beer 🍺..
Bon Appetite

The food we had was very good. I loved the atmosphere here. Different sections to sit at. In or outside, all good. Great service too. We had roast of the day and fish and chips.

Great old local pub with an updated interior, still some of the older parts to see with a good range of meals that taste fantastic just wished I'd remembered to take the pictures before we started to eat the food 😉
well worth a visit.

Our meals looked great and overall where nice apart from steaks not cook quite right and the pork looked like it had a nice crackle but unfortunately didn't, meals are good value for money very big portions

Roast pork for lunch, delish. Great friendly sevice with a smile. Would deffinately recommend 😉

Absolutely fantastic.. don't go past if you are looking to hold a function around the area.. highly recommend

Great hotel with delicious food. We saw The Pryers and our group of Seniors absolutely loved it. I highly recommend seeing them and experiencing their concert.

Went for lunch with group of 30, first and last time l ll eat there, chicken Switzerland was burnt and meat sweaty, obviously dumped into hot fat. Salad was well past its use by date and l ll never eat there again
Several of our group had a similar experience

Great food.
Great service.
I have no idea why people have to leave bad reviews about Great hotels like this one.

Just at the Alma and had placed in front of me after an extended waiting time a meal they called Roast Beef. More like roast offal with a little bit of meat. Roast veggies were raw. Sent the meal back as it should never have been served to a paying customer. Staff did not even offer an appology for the excuse of a meal.

If I could give it a negative score I would.

Good food and owners been there a few times and always friendly

Best Guinness I've had in Australia but the steak could have been better. Helpful staff

Meals were delicious, and well priced. Was nice and quiet and even got a prime spot right by the fire. Service was very friendly and personal from down to earth staff. Would highly recommend.

Old fashioned food, with a modern take. Food that has layers in an uncomplicated, but interesting taste.
Great service, from really nice staff.

Chicken snitties to die for.
