Customer Review

The steaks here are genuinely nice and it is right that you don't need the sauce to enjoy them. Had a great opportunity to meet Will, the owner. Will is very passionate about his steaks and willing to share his knowledge on steaks to his customers. Wishing Will all the best with his business.

Honestly the best stonegrill experience possible. If you want an amazing steak you have got to go here!
I wish I'd gotten the publicans name but he was fantastic, educating us on each cut, the flavours and the profile.
The oysters lime and chillie and bacon and cheese garlic bread were wonderful.
We got the Cube roll, Rump, Roo and Croc. When it was brought out he cut a part from each one to show us the flavour profile and texture difference, the hand cut chips were the perfect side dish.
If we come back through Rocky, we will definitely be coming back here.

We were recommended this by a local stating it was the best place to get steak. We went for the croc, roo and steak and were dissapointed that at $45 they were tiny portions. Each piece was 1 to 2 cm thick and 10 cm across. You only get one side (hubby got the chips which were hand cut and good) I had the salad; the lettuce was brown from oxidation. After having many stonegrills we were expecting better from the beef capital of Australia, everything was just okay. The place was rundown, which held a certain charm and the staff were lovely.

Had the best salmon ever. Cooked on hot stone. Vegetables are fresh and chips are amazing. You don't need sauce!

Stonegrill steak here was perfect. Veggies were staple, ample and not overcooked. Really good wine list which complimented the steaks with good price range. Staff very attentive ands knowledgeable.
Highly recommend if you're into steak. There are plenty of other options on the menu from duck to croc fish and roo.

A great place for steak in the capital of beef. The foods really good and the chef's a good guy who will make sure you know about your meal and why exactly it tastes as good as it does. It could loose points on presentation, but a restaurant's for food, not gawking, so 5 stars from me

If you're looking for THE BEEF experience in the heart of the beef capital - this is the place to be!
The steak was cooked on the stone grill in front of us while we got to learn the uniqueness of each of the pieces. For the first time in our lives, we were able to taste the difference in flavors between the different cuts. Each of the steaks had up to three flavors depending on the side.
We were promised the 'best steaks of our lives' and it was delivered to us a few times over in this session.

They weren't lying when they said it is the best steak you will ever have...the knowledge of the staff about the cuts of meat was particularly impressive and they advised us of the best kind of steak for us.

The steak was flavoursome, tender and the cooking experience was really fun.

I feel like I walked away with not only a great experience with the meal and customer service, but a new knowledge on what cuts to select when looking for a certain eating experience.

10/10 will come again!

Our visit to Ascott Hotel's Stone Grill restaurant was excellent! We ordered one steak of each cut and it's safe to say it was the best steak we've ever had! What made the experience even better was the hospitality that we were shown by Will. He is very personable, looked after us intently and shared his comprehensive knowledge of all things steak.

We will be back next time we are in Rockhampton!

If your a steak lover and can look past the aging decor.The Ascot is a must. I ordered the Rost Biff on a Stone grill. It was a mouthwatering experience. The sides were very generous. You won't be disappointed.

Karaoke Sunday session 1pm-5pm. Had a really good afternoon here being entertained by some pretty awesome Karaoke singers ohh and the beer was nice and cold and it's air-conditioned which is a must these days. The venue is clean and staff are friendly.

Awesome steaks, and great staff. Will and Tracy make the place super inviting and entertaining. Love it! We'll never pass through Rocky without dropping in (my kids made me promise).

Food and service is amazing.
Don't expect a 5star glitzy restaurant, it's more down-to-earth. The Ascot is clean, fresh and neat. The meal is amazing and served very uniquely on a Hot Stone. Cuts of meat are fully explained and also the best way to use the hot stone for the best taste sensation and it IS a sensation.

This place definitely needs a renovation, but the steak is amazing! Such a great experience cooking your own premium steak on a hot stone - you know for sure that every piece is to your liking! The steak was so well seasoned you don't even need a side sauce (tbh the sauce wasn't that great). The owner is enthusiastic about his steak and you get a great learning experience from him - top bloke! Highly recommended this place if you are looking for a great steak experience and don't let the place's appearance deceive you! Give it a go! You won't regret it!

Amazing !
I do not normally eat steak, but this place is too good! I ate 250 gr. of an amazing tenderloin I guess it will be enough meat for me for the whole year

My partner enjoyed his 350 g cube steak and he is quite a picky diner with a sophisticated Italian palette.

You cook your steak to the extend you prefer yourself on a hot stone at your table and the chef is helping you to do this

Will is so dedicated to his job and passion and dining here is an incredible experience,
PS make sure to order some crocodile from a local farm too '?

I've travelled around the world and this place is incredibly unique , it deserves more attention and there is nothing like it '?

The owner explained to us the different cuts of beef and how the flavour differs from each part. Service was very good and the rest of the staff were friendly. Definitely a must visit place to eat very good steak if you visit rockhampton. Will highly recommend this place.

The best place to eat steak in Rocky! Make sure to book ahead, it can get busy but it is so worth it. Owner and staff were friendly and tell you all about the different cuts of steaks. I got a cube roll and hubby got the sirloin on the hot rocks and it was simply superb.
