Very overpriced for the quality of the food. Went in a group of 6 and the ribs, my eye fillet, and steak was very dry and overcooked despite us selecting "medium-rare" whilst ordering. The packaged bread was probably the best part of the meal.
However, the service was wonderful with servers handing out doggy treats to our dog after asking permission, which was very considerate. Another server even moved an umbrella to help shade us from the sun. Very busy, but still a very dog-friendly, family-friendly place to go

Always been a fan of this local establishment! Very much a popular and well known institution in Brisbane if you will.
Have visited numerous times over the years and while the food is always decent, what you'd expect. I've found the level of service has declined over the years.

Will still visit as it's a great and easy spot for work outings, however I'm hoping they can focus on improving their service too.

Had our company EOFY social event here last Friday and the services was top class! Belinda and the staff who worked the night we arrived made our experience there a great one! From the set up for just over 40 staff members and the food and just making sure the food came out effortlessly and everyone happy with their steaks, and their drinks, the whole overall the experience was fantastic!!! Highly recommend

A beautiful late lunch in the beer garden. We ordered some great steaks all cooked as requested. We also ordered sticky and sweet beef. Great meals. Service was great. Dog friendly.

We ordered 2 servings of The Creek, Medium Rare and Medium Well but it turn out one is Well Done, dry and tough. The other one is okay. Therefore, the quality of cooking is inconsistent. We also ordered WAGYU MB3 SIRLION, Medium Rare and it turned out Medium. This is still acceptable me. We also ordered the Porterhouse. Again it turned out slightly more cooked than necessary. So out of the 4 dishes, only 1 is good, 1 acceptable. The environment is good for nice concersation with your friends and service is good. Otherwise, I won't go for the food.

If you're after a great steak then this is the place to go. Several lovely outdoor spaces to sit. It's also lovely to visit the historic Public Bar to see a genuine bar from days of old.

Had lunch in the Spanish garden. The steak was excellent, chips just done right as well. They always give you a portuguese roll with your meal. This makes for a perfect chip butty...yum

We were sat at table 311 (we had reserved this for 6:30) . When we arrived at our table after trying to find it for 15min there was no lighting, no coasters, it hadn't been wiped down and there was no set up for us or reserved signing. unlike the other reserved tables around us. Which had QR coasters to order food and drinks, napkins, cutlery, lighting, chairs with backs on them and a table number to find there table. We had to ask 3 waiters where our table was and they just finally pointed to the one in the corner, in the dark next to a bush with bugs and no effort at all. During our time. My sister saw a rat and my whole family saw a cockroach on one of our chairs. When the food came out, we had sauces missing, food wasn't cooked like we had asked (medium, rare, well done) all that kinda stuff, and we waited a good 40min for our meal. I do understand it was busy so we weren't worried about that, it was more of the fact that when the food finally came out it wasn't done right, we had to use the flash on our phones to see the food and too even see what we were doing. The porterhouse we ordered was dry and had zero flavour and the waiter that was walking past us doing nothing ignored my dad when he politely called out to ask about the sauces that were missing. He just kept on strolling lol. Ate about half the food and left. We have had good experiences here but this wasn't one of them. All I can say is; next time someone reserves a table put as much effort in for there experience as you do with others. Instead of chucking them in the corner on a random table with no set up at all and stickiness all over it. Cheers.

Restaurant and bar are consistently excellent places to catchup and dine with friends. Have been coming here for years. Featuring a wide array of drinks as one would expect at any decent pub served by friendly staff. The food is delicious and served quickly.

Went here today on their reputation for a great steak 20years ago 😄
Breaky Creek you did not disappoint. ??'? steak was bloody amazing. Staff both upon entering and at all 3 bars we went into were fabulous.

Recently hosted a work function at the Breakfast Creek Hotel and it was a resounding success! The venue effortlessly married its iconic, historic charm with modern amenities, setting the perfect backdrop for our event. The staff were attentive and accommodating, ensuring our every need was met from start to finish. The food was a highlight - an array of delectable dishes that catered to various dietary preferences, earning rave reviews from all attendees. The dedicated space for our function allowed for both networking and relaxation, making the evening both productive and enjoyable. If you're seeking a venue that combines character, culinary excellence, and top-notch service for your next event.

Oh and the cocktails were delish!

Food was great. Service friendly but a little slow. Late Saturday afternoon, place was packed but I hadn't expected so many people to be eating. Iconic Australian pub doing what it does best. The steaks are amazing!

Would have liked to give more stars. Food was good. The Vib/ atmosphere was good. But the Beer on the wood was flat. The keg had been tapped several hours ago( waste of money). We were a party of six in the beer garden. We had 2-3 schooners of craft beer each and everyone of the beers poured by staff had a short pull. All of the beers were not to the top of the glass. Despite the head on the beer, the glasses were fill to about 2.5 cm to the top of the glass. Spent a lot of money on steak dinners and drinks. Very disappointed.

Food outstanding, beer great, location excellent, staff wonderful. One downside was the woke prick whom questioned our validity at sitting where we were. Unfortunately there are those of our community who have lost touch with tact and general respect for our fellow man. I have enjoyed lunch with my two brothers, one of whom I had not seen for many years, nice spot aside from the above !!

Parking is a nightmare. People parked literally in the driveway, and nothing is done. On a Wednesday night, there was a 45+ minute wait on food. And it still arrived late, over an hour. The ordering app automatically puts a tip on. Bold if there is no one actually providing me service, and the service I do get at the bar is someone more asleep than awake. Sitting outside, there were rats running along the deck. It's pretty shocking. Food is average quality and overpriced. Things have really gone downhill. My last visit to the Breakfast Creek. It's a real shame as it has been my steak joint for years.

Great old pub with lots of eating and drinking options. A very nice outdoor restaurant/beer garden, a great place for a burger, steak or seafood. There is a large outdoor screen, ideal for watching the game. Inside is the old original pub which is an interesting and historic, there are many old pictures tracing the history of the pub.
Inside is the rum bar which has more types of rum than I believed were available, which includes another indoor/outdoor area which is ideal for parties/birthdays.
Tip: Book a table, or you might miss out

If you're after a great cocktail this is the place to go, if you're after a steak cooked the way you asked if suggest somewhere else. Both times visiting the restaurant my steak had not been cooked correctly and I've sent it back. Good break once sorted but service seemed a little out of by it.

Our server Darcy made the experience so awesome, he was witty and charming and his customer service 100% on point. I love places with good customer service bc it will keep me coming back. Food was perfect!!! Wine was beautiful and well priced.

Try the 4X from the wood, that's the wooden cask, tastes great! I had Guinness there, very tasty but not cheap for a pint, $14.00, I had the T-bone steak, rare. Really tender and tasty. Really enjoyed the atmosphere here, you should go for the experience. I will go again.

What a stunning place, the history is amazing and we were lucky enough to see the wooden keg tapped that day. The mix between the old and modern is done so well, it was such a pleasure to walk round. The food was good, recommend the steaks. Will definitely be back.

Great steak!! Cooked well.
Service was good. Beer was never ran dry before asked for another one.
Only reason for not giving 5 stars is I Was so looking forward to shovelling down a big tomahawk. But unfortunately was not available.

Spanish Restaurant steak meal for 5 - overpriced very average pub food. All steaks were cooked incorrectly, meat wasn't fresh, mushroom sauce was like glue, coleslaw tasted and looked like it had been frozen, better at KFC, potatoes were old and grey with no toppings, venue is tired and dirty, no dress code, thongs and singlets fine - why bother having a separate restaurant... won't be back, waste of my hard earned money.

One of Brisbane's best pubs, it is a great venue with great steaks, beers, and cocktails.
I go there quite often and generally go for their fillet, as differently from other restaurants, they offer a "tall" cut.
However, with popularity comes a big crowd. Therefore, this place can easily become really busy and noisy. Also, it can be hard to make a reservation, and as a "walk-in" customer, enjoying a meal can become problematic.
Finally, although there is a lot of parking, it can be hard to find a spot at peak hours.

It's taken me a while to finally get here and expectations were probably set a little too high. Table we booked was being used, beers that we ordered on the QR code took 20mins and food came out at different times, sucks when you are catching up with a group of friends. Mind you I can see why I have heard great things and feel like it was probably a one off thing! Food was cooked beautifully ??'?🏼

What a let down. Our reservation was for the beer garden at 12. We arrived 5 minutes early and told we were on table 115 halfway down. Took a while to find it as it was inside a room not in the beer garden and no one to guide us to it's location. Had to use an app to order which in hindsight was probably a good thing as the service was abysmal. The food was very good our table ordered starters, mains and kids meals which were a wide variety and on the whole good. But again the service let them down. We had to hunt down cutlery and serviettes ourselves. We waited 45 minutes after our meals and the kids desserts still hadn't been delivered. We asked a staff member who removed a few of our empty plates but he had no idea and said he couldn't help us. We ended up leaving and getting McDonald's ice cream instead on the way home. What a shame as it was my husband's birthday and the lack of assistance was a real let down.

Great steak, if not particularly cheap, but we'll cooked to order and sides were nice. Big selection to choose from.
Bar service however was quite slow, and it was midweek, perhaps lightly staffed.
Nice atmosphere but then again the Breaky CK has been there forever and much loved by many. If visiting Brisbane it's def worth a visit

Great steak and large meals. Pricing is fair, the atmosphere could be better but it's not bad either, it is pub style but better than the typical pub..
Steaks are their speciality.

If you're looking for a good large meal, cold beer and good steak, they'll have you sorted.

Indoor and outdoor seating. The venue is large, a lot going on there, but the venue is large enough that it isn't noticeable.

On a Saturday family lunch, I had a very nice brisket burger, the meat was delicious. I just think for a super busy place, it should have some form of live music as entertainment. The kids ice cream- it wouldn't be difficult to add some sprinkles or a flavour. Give back more to the people.

Have been coming here for years and it's always great. Service is spot on, they catered to our dietary requirements without any issues and of course the steak was cooked perfectly. Just make sure you book, they're often busy but that's to be expected when the food is so good. :)

Brisbane icon still going strong. My parents took me there in the 70s!
The steaks are well known...
The smoked ribs were excellent, and my son rated the chicken parmigiana "the best ever"!

This hotel was very busy with lots of different groups and individuals, despite this the place felt roomy, We were a group of 70+ people. We had a set menu and the food was very good. The calamari was spot on. The chicken wings were good. The steaks and the brisket were great. Despite being so busy, the service was great. The bar service was friendly and fast. Definitely recommend this place for groups and individuals.

Great place for a drink with mates. There are so many bars with different themes so it almost feels like a mini resort when you walk around which is cool. We had a few drinks which were reasonably priced but didn't try any of the food. Would recommend giving this place a crack for something different in the Brisbane bar/pub scene.

Went to this beautiful hotel for the first time but unfortunately was disappointed with our meals. When I received my Caesar salad I straight away checked the egg and it was stone cold straight out of a fridge. Who does that with a Caesar??? The egg must be at least warm and gooey. My partners lamb curry was only warm so decided to take them back. The young man that assisted was amazing. When our meals arrived again my egg was warm this time but over cooked and I was then devastated to find their were no anchovies in the dish and very little dressing. What is a Caesar salad without anchovies!!! The lamb curry sauce was watery and very powdery in texture and taste. Lucky we had ordered a bowl of chips to share as I didn't bother speaking to staff a second time. Best to stick with what they are known for.
Next time we will try their steaks!!!

What can you say about an iconic location like this establishment. Clearly still delivering the highest of quality steaks. Cooked to perfection on the medium rare and medium options chosen. A wonderful meeting place with food and beverages at the best value for dollar spend. The support team were very cheerful and helpful. Making the all-round experience a memorable one. Well done to the current managers and the team members.

An upmarket McDonald's. You know exactly what you're going to get, the quality is always the same and you always leave satisfied.
We had the tomahawk for dinner with sides of chips and coleslaw. More than enough for the two of us and a treat for the fur baby at home. Steak was medium but seemed a little more on the medium rare side and not evenly cooked but the side of diane sauce was rich and silky. Worth the money.

Was recommended to visit here for the steaks and now I know why. Really fantastic meat and portion sizes. Would love to go back and try other items on the menu another time. The garlic bread would have been enough for me to leave and feel satisfied.

Went for lunch at the Breakfast Creek Hotel whilst visiting Brisbane. We needed somewhere dog friendly and this place was fantastic. We sat in the beer garden which had great atmosphere and the food was amazing. All of the staff were incredibly friendly as well, a nice lady from the kitchen even came out with a few off cuts of steak for my dog, so it's definitely his new favourite place! Looking forward to coming back and trying out the rest of the menu.

Great to finally get to see this Iconic Brisbane pub.
Food was great, staff member looked like he needed a nap...
It was hot and humid not much air flow..
Still... an awesome place to relax.

Whilst I've usually had a great time here, unfortunately this time around was a bit of a let down. Out of a table of 6, we had at least 3 or 4 errors with our meal orders, as well as being billed for beverages we didn't order. Larger bookings that ordered food after us received their orders first as well, with our wait for our mains exceeding an hour, contributing to our below average experience this time round

It would be easy to blame it on our server, as she seemed very new. However having worked in the service industry in training in the past, I feel that's unfair on her. It was a very busy lunch service (as usual on the weekend), and our server from the get go seemed a bit overwhelmed with all that was going on. Throwing staff in the deep end rarely ends well, and I feel that had she been given more supervision and support, she would of thrived instead because she was trying hard to get it right.

With all of that said though, I also want to praise the male member of staff who went out of his way to try and make things right, once he had identified that we were having issues, he was extremely attentive and did everything in his power to make things right, and that deserves recognition. Recovering a service situation that's going south is something nobody ever "wants" to do, however he approached it with enthusiasm and professionalism. I was really impressed with the lengths he went to, and despite the rough start, I left very happy with the resolution.

The too long didn't read is this: please make sure your junior staff don't get thrown in the deep end like this again, it's unfair on them and the customer. However, your experienced staff are wonderful and really did an amazing job turning things around. Hang on to them at all costs!

This was my first visit here in April alongside my parents who had eaten here many times before and had raved about it. I wasn't disappointed. The steak at this hotel is the best in Australia without doubt. The service and friendliness of the staff is also of the highest standard. Special mention to the lovely manager Sue who was wonderful. I'm returning to Brisbane later in the year and can't wait to eat here again.

The digital menu ordering experience was great. However, a member of our party was not so techno savvy and where they thought their order was placed it was not. Maybe a reminder to check your emails for the receipt should be presented. This would make the User Experience (UX) much better.

First visit and we were happy with the service and very happy with the food! The establishment was quite busy but we did not have to wait a long time for our meals to be served.

The steaks were spot on with how we requested them to be. I really liked the mushroom sauce in comparison to many other pubs I have tried. The potato side I had was amazing. Cooked to perfection and so much flavour for a baked potato. It basically melted in the mouth and the smoked bacon pieces were very complimenting to the potato.

The burnt pork ends were also delicious with the special BBQ glaze. The only thing I regret was not having enough room to try one of the deserts!

Love this place! Lots of options for dining.. can choose your own steak and have it cooked. Fantastic rum bar.. over 500 different rums and they do great cocktails. Lots of history in the old hotel. Do a river cruise here gets you there at 11.15 am and you can return about 1. 30 pm.enough time to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy lunch and a beer..
