Great place to have a meal! Great fast service, value for money, clean and tidy, food is brilliant, pool and location is amazing!

We decided to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday at the Bushland Beach Tavern
Having an Assistance Dog, I gave them a courtesy call to inform them we would have an assistance dog with us and booked a table,explained its a birthday celebration
Owned by the Lily-white group,I would urge their board to take more interest in this investment unless it is an investment strategy to lose revenue.
We explained to our very young lad that we have a table booked under my name .He seemed a bit confused, so we let him go back to his roaming the seating area,then the winner of the slackest,throw your weight around woman whose first welcoming words out of her mouth were ," you have to leave you can't have a dog here "!
After explaining the legalities of having an Assistance Dog and the fact we had booked and cleared it with management clearly above her pay grade,she apologised.. our night was only going to get worse. Asked her about the cocktails and what is available, her terse reply .."There's a cocktails menu sign at the bar." Front of house service at its worst. The menu selection was limited, so the choices were easy,up to the bar I go for birthday cocktails, i ask ... Where's the cocktail menu? We don't do cocktails here ! Great! purchased a couple of ready mix beverages and am now off to order dinner. Well, guess who is front of house kitchen cashier...the lady with the small shoulders that started this horrid night... gave her our orders....I changed my original choice to a salad, you know when you get that feeling you don't trust the staff with the meal you are going to be eating ? Well, that feeling was loud and clear!
Once dinner was ordered, I asked our lady with the smallest shoulders if she could direct me to the cocktail menu ? Stuttering and now knowing they don't do cocktails ,her reply was , "Well, they used to do cocktails, but I am not sure now !" Thanks, winner of the worst service ever,
I said, "Thanks to you... all of tonight disaster rests on your shoulders," she had ruined our evening all by herself, our birthday celebrations a total disaster
Dinner arrived ,the food looked lack lustre ,the pumkin salad was topped with cooking oil,heavy and no taste, the Caesar salad came with a hard poached egg and lettuce....thank goodness I had ordered a meal our rooster would eat.
I dont recommend either of these dishes
Gordon the Rooster even turned his beak up at the heavy laden soaked in bad sauce Caesar salad...
There is no value for your money, best to take peanuts and contribute to the staffs wages.The entertainment for the evening was an opossum that had a raw sore on its back and tail climbing into the rubbish bin beside our table foraging ,staff walking by commented how cute it was, must have been a local foragers as the opossum mixed with other guests like a local...and where was our front of house lady to evict this 4 legged diner? No where to be seen

Good location near the sea, ample place to sit inside and out. Good service with friendly staff. Good food with lots of choice and for a good prices. Even a swimming pool next to the restaurant. Also enough parking space.

Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff. The food was lovely and well priced. Will definitely be back again.

Great pub. Great sports bar. Great food area !!! Pond has barra and other great fish. Great for a family beach is super close!!

Lack of signage from Highway to tavern part of our party missed the turn off and ended up in Townsville. It was too late to turn around and catch the lunch cut off.

Great place for a feed, and the kids can run wild out the front. Not bothering the patrons. Fantastic place!

We went acouple of weeks ago and enjoyed our meals. We were keen to return. What a mustake!! I had pizza the first time but swappd for a tomato sauce. No problems. The second time this was refused. I ended up with nachos and they were the worst I have ever had. Thecheese was not melted properly and the corn chips were so soggy I needed a spoon! I could not eat it.

Very good service,great food and view. Got served by a very friendly & happy staff member. Thank you . She made it enjoyable being there.

Chicken schnitzel dry in the middle. Crumbing was more moist that's chicken. They put thebwr G said in mine and my hubby plate. Took it out bro the kitchen and literally swapped over the chicken from
One plate to another. How do they know there was no one allergic to any of those ingredients. I'm anaphylactic to certain foods. 40 min wait in a Wednesday night. Come on . Manager needs to stop calling woman darl .

This place just topped my list for one of the worst pub feeds I've ever had and not far off the top of the list for highest price's either. Absolutely shocking food an when we told the waiter all we got was 'O, Ok'
Never again will we dine here.
Asked to speak to a manager but gave up waiting a day left.

Nice family place to come for lunch and drinks... I had the fish tacos, they were tasty and very filling. It has a great atmosphere with a pool if you want to swim on a hot day... over looks a beach and a pond. Well recommended to take family and friends.

Staff are very friendly and helpful in every way. Meals are good and reasonably priced. The amenities in the hotel are clean and well maintained and very kid friendly from what I saw. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. My wife and I will definitely go back again.

Once again, never disappointed by this place. Dropped in yesterday for a coffee and cake and even though it was before the bistro opened, staff were very friendly and happy to serve us. My go to place to relax.

A very pleasant location for a few drinks and a meal with friends. The meals were a good size and flavour. The staff behind the friendly and helpful.

Hit and miss with the food. Sometimes it's amazing, other times it's cold. First 2 times i ordered medium rare steak and both times it was cold. 3rd time the steak was cooked well. Had chicken pasta salad the other day. Much of the pasta was stuck together, so i dont think it was cooked properly. Great location though. There is a clean pool for people to jump in to. The park for children is fenced off and appears safe. Then the beach is 50m from the tavern. Walking all the way out to the sand flats during low tide is fun. And during high tide it's good fishing.

If you like waiting 90 minutes for your meal then go for it. Great venue layout though and drinks are reasonably priced.

Food was fantastic views are amazing staff beautiful a mist do take your kids and dog

What an amazing place!
The atmosphere here is wonderful. Beautiful lawns over looking bushland beach. Your dining experience is surrounded by a beautiful pool and amazing pond filled with fish, eels, and turtles. We could have stayed here all day, so relaxing and the food was great. It also has a great kids playground ?

Always our go to for a good meal, great view and a chilled day out. Bar staff are awesome.

Very nice place, good meals and service.

Best location if you want to go for a walk and food . The pub does have a pool for them hot days and also pokies if you fancy a gamble . Dogs are not allowed at the pub which I think should be changed as the location is perfect for dog walkers.

Had our first visit to thr Bushy in late July and really enjoyed ourselves. There were some vegetarian and dairy free options on the menu and were tasty enough. Beer selection is limited but not unusual. Plastic outdoor furniture was interesting.

Was looking forward to dining here but was very disappointed with the experience today. Firstly we ordered entrees which were garlic bread, cheese and bacon bread & salt pepper calamari. Breads were overdone and hard on the bottom. Calamari was nice not chewy presentation very slack though. Not appealing at all.

Mains consisted of 2 x crumbed steaks with chips & garden salad, 1 x crumbed steak with chips and Caesar salad and 1 x chicken parmigiana with chips and Caesar salad. Upon collecting meals the parmigiana was put through as just a chicken schnitzel so then that meal had to be redone while the other 3 were back at the table. This took a short time and then was bought to our table.

Now my meal was the crumbed steak with chips & Caesar salad. I have attached a photo of what I got. My salad was just all green lettuce except for I think 3 TINY diced up bacon pieces and apparently this is a Caesar salad ?????" I Immediately took this back to the counter and the staff member (Bec) did not see a problem with the salad ???" I asked where are the croutons, egg , bacon & even Parmesan ? Her answer was.... It's not like the proper Caesar salad , u have to order the main if u want that. Ok..... ummm I thought the only difference between a side Caesar salad & main Caesar salad would be portion size? But yeah ok then....? went to another staff member and she gave me a garden salad and apologised. The garden salad was very basic with ONE quarter piece of tomato ? I also asked her is this what u normally give for a side Caesar (no croutons, Parmesan, egg or bacon) and she said she doesn't know she's only just started ? my sister's salad was the same. I'd say there was more bacon on the cheese and bacon bread then our salads. ?

There is outdoor and indoor seating. Outdoor scenery is nice but too hot atm. Inside is sad looking and oldish.

There's pokies if u wanna play and there's a public bar away from the bistro.

On a positive note we only went there to try as we won a voucher for $70 through Triple M Townsville. I did order a lemon lime & bitters and that was really good. Don't think I will be back anytime soon for a feed though.

When the Bohle Barn decided to pay off our reservation, Bushy Beach Tavern came to the rescue. Was able to make a last minute booking and got a table. Nice and polite staff and great food. Bohle Barn could learn a thing or two.

Nice place but had to leave a $300.00 deposit or a credit card for a room for the night. Meals were a bit expensive for what they were but other eateries around. Out of Townsville a little

A nice little getaway pub on the beach to escape the city. The pub is huge with a restaurant, bar, lake, accomodation, bottle shop, pokies, swimming pool, carpark and outdoor dining area. Good variety of food on the menu to choose from. Love the outdoor seating area to enjoy the cool breeze and fresh air.

Always great food. Never disappoints. Come for great atmosphere and large tasty meals.

Used to come all the time, went the other day and there's been a menu change. The have removed the amazing cob loaf they had. Also the oysters have been taken off the menu. A lot of the great food has been replaced with very average items.

A great place with great location. Situated by the beach, it is family friendly. There's a pool for the kids, a pond with turtles a resident possum at night.
Staff were friendly, meals were plentiful and prices were reasonable.

The chef mucked up my meal, but the staff were so apologetic and did their utmost to rectify the issue. My partner's meal was perfect. I would still highly recommend as the muck up was a once off.

Fantastic food and location. Prices were great especially considering the meal sizes. Fish feeding next to the outdoor eating 12-2 too. Staff super friendly and helpful - 10/10

Good feed, can take a while on busy nights. ~ 50 meters from the waters edge providing it's high tide and close to the playground.

Love it there.
So relaxing especially at the tables right near the beach.

400g beef schnitzel no salad- way too big for me to finish and was very nice

Ended up here twice, second time when highway closed all day due to truck crash. Good menu. Good food, seniors meals. Easy parking. Helpful staff.

Food, beer and wine great. Accommodation great. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only thing the entry door does not self close, possibly due to wet weather. Plus the bathroom door knob was a bit hard to open the door from the inside bathroom. The air conditioner where replaced was noticeable with unpainted patch to the left of air conditioner. Found the room a bit dark to find one light not working near kitchen area. Sheets not pressed but clean. Will be back.

Wow haven't been to BB pub for well over 20years, bit last night went for drinks and a meal. I was so impressed, and the staff were professional kind, and had great sense of humour. Definitely be back more often.

The Atlantic salmon is probably the most poorly made dish on the whole menu. I don't know who made the dish (Saturday) but there was no flavour at all and the size is not worth the value. If you can't make a dish consistently well, then best to take it off the menu.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Nice open pub, will be back

It's not bad. good food and kid friendly. Plenty of room for them to run around while you can enjoy a drink with your partner

Went there for Sunday Lunch and drinks. Food was very yummy and fresh. But was extremely disappointed with the lack of entertainment, there was no music not even the radio..got boring very quickely.
Had the footy on but not everyone is into footy. Music and entertainment!

Top service, good meal and friendly atmosphere, what more can you say!
Not so good a week ago, porterhouse steak was tough, not a happy chappy

Nice spot for Sunday lunch. Both the food and service were exceptional. Bit disappointed there was no live music as advertised.

Great place for families, kids can swim and play on the lawn. People can supervise from the tables and chairs outside. Menu options are ok

I've never in my life had a worst eye fillet.
Oh until the second one they cooked me. Even worst than the first.
Pretty sure it was cooked in a microwave.
Still great place for the kids to play. Just don't order a steak.

Fantastic place for lunch, reasonable price large meals, kids can even have a swim in the pool

Great relaxing Sunday arvo.kids swimming, live music, cold beer and a good feed. What could you want more?

Food great help your self for breakfast yum yum

Generally good food in a family friendly pub on the beach. The atmosphere is relaxing

We were looking forward to lunch here but it was the worst fish and chips ever served to us.nFull of old tasting oil and over cooked.nService was poor and the place needs a damn good clean.

We have eaten here many times and it's always great
