Play Pokies at Buderim Tavern in Buderim

Extremely pleased with the good food and service. Delicious well-priced food came quickly, hot and quite delicious. As we are Seniors we got a discount off our already reasonably priced food. Crowded and a little noisy but that is to be expected on a Saturday night. We tried to book the courtesy bus multiple times without any success but that was a minor thing.

The Buderim Tavern was the perfect place for our wedding reception on August 14th 2024. Caitlyn and her amazing event team made our day such a breeze.

Right from the start, Caitlyn was so organised and thorough though the planning process. She is hands down one of the best event coordinator I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She went above and beyond for us in the little details and the styling of the event. When we walked into the venue, it was such a special moment for us as everything looked beautiful.

The food was amazing! Such delicious and generous portion sizes. They also worked really well for any of our guests who had dietary requirements and the food options were delicious. When they plated up our wedding cake, it was done with care and looked fabulous.

To all the future couples, if you want a venue that will go the extra mile for you and make your wedding day so special, look no further than the Buderim Tavern.

We have frequented this venue quite regularly over the years as the kids play area is convenient. No other reason.
The food isn't remarkable. The most appalling aspect is that lack of training the staff have in regards to clearing tables. We have raised the issue on multiple occasions but still, tables are left full of half eaten plates, glasses, napkins etc. The staff have not been trained to take empty glasses or plates when them when even passing a table. We have always had to ask them to take entrees plates or empty glasses. The floor manager has acknowledged its an issue but still, it continues week in and week out.

Unfortunately the food let's this great establishment down.

Recently moved to the area and wanted to try out the local tavern for a meal and get together with family, unfortunately was a little  disappointed for a few reasons.

1. The menu prices $$
I found the menu prices to be very expensive for a tavern, I understand it may have something to do with the area however in comparison to other taverns I have been to and even nice restaurants I found the prices to exceed what I would typically expect to pay for a tavern meal.

2. Food quality average
The food was well presented when it came out, looked visually very appealing however wasn't very hot, I ordered the eye fillet steak with vegetables and mashed potatoes, I only took a couple of bites of my steak and was unable to eat the rest, concerned that it may have been on the cusp of spoiling, the vegetables were overcooked/ boiled and the mash slightly too salty. The chicken ordered at my table " chicken Breast Supreme" was also dry and unfortunately was not as it was described on the menu at this was disappointing.

3. Customer Service
Although our table was ultimately disappointed with our meals, the customer service was very good and the duty manager dealt with our concern with our food with respect and understanding and although I chose not to have my meal remade the staff were professional and offer a dessert in place of my meal.

4. Atmosphere
A nice view overlooking the mountain at night, ample seating for patrons to sit and cosy seating to enjoy a few drinks or a games room for the adults. The establishment is nicely furnished, inviting and has multiple different areas to sit. The tavern would maybe be a good place to have a coffee or a few drinks and snacks with friends and family but I would not come back here for another meal. Buderim Tavern could be a really great place but the food is really letting it down and unfortunately I was told this. Prior to experiencing it for myself.

Our recent experience at the Buderim Tavern was unfortunately overshadowed by several issues. The food was served staggered over an hour, resulting in a disrupted dining experience. My steak, ordered with anticipation, arrived cold, underwhelmingly small, and accompanied by a disappointing salad. The overall experience was further dampened by the rude demeanour of the staff. Improvements in both food quality and customer service are necessary for a more satisfying visit. I would urge everyone to avoid this tavern
