What a great pub and our new favourite pub to eat at in Strathalbyn, the service was great, friendly and efficient. The food was awesome. The range of local wines is admirable to support local industry and typically for the region, very pleasant. even the house white from Currency Creek was worth every cent. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike, we will be back.

Wagu Steak, sauce was to die for, prawns excellent. Salad could have been better. Chips were yummy. Steak was cooked to perfection. Service friendly and quick.

First time dining here, and the food was really well made. Impressed with how well the schnitzels were made, especially the melted and charred cheese on top. The atmosphere was cozy, definitely not a bad place to take a shoe off and relax. Having the olympics on in the background was nice but distracting. Overall a really good pub!

Firstly - what a great place ! We happened to come here with the entertainment book as this booklet really makes us go and try other places than just in Adelaide - to our amazement the staff were brilliant - the waygu schnitzel was overwhelming as was the lamb salad - prices were realistic and a great walk afterwards to the curio shops - all in all a great destination drive/ location with ample parking

Dropped in on a quiet Monday night for a meal after driving up from the city. Had been reading reviews of the schnitzel offerings so was keen to try. Wasn't disappointed, all three at our table were spot on. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel is immaculate inside. I'll be back again next time I'm in the area. Cheers !

One of the best chicken schnitzel I have had.
The schnitzel was crumbed and cooked perfectly with plenty of yummy hot salted chips. Service was quick and staff were nice. Great value for money.

This rating is for their special Thursday night Parma night, which is the best I've ever had 😍. There's a choice of beef or chicken and about 6 different loaded toppings to choose from. All just for $17. The schnitzel is so large that it drapes over the side of the plate.
In addition, service comes with a smile, which is always most welcome.

There for Friday lunch and nice feel of an old country pub. Staff were friendly.

Good variety of food available and the daily schnitzel special wad hard to pass. The chicken schnitzel was large & tasty.

Normal bar offerings. Gaming room attached with bottleshop as well.

Lovely town to visit.

Food was great. Waitress and bar staff were understaffed on a Saturday. Only 2 ladies on. Still managed to get us seated and meals & drinks out in good time. Well done ??'?

Fantastic service, friendly and quick. Great menu but it is hard to go past the schnitzel because it is so good. There are lots of choices of sauces as well and there are vegetarian options.

Great service and great food. If looking for a good schnitzel then have to try the commercial, lots of choices we will be back for sure.

We had 6 meals here from schnitzels,squid and roast pork. All meals were very good. Big schnitzels and overall good size servings.
Meals were a little slow arriving but worth the wait. Kids meal deal was a hit
With generous serving, small drink included and ice cream plus a activity bag. Dinning is a bit out dated and menus,glasses etc could use a refresh.
Great country town pub.

Friendly and understanding staff when a flat battery meant we were late for our booking. Best pork roast ever and only $22. Son's $25 lunch pictured.

Been a regular for awhile now and just love the place. Super consistent meals that are always great. friendly service just adds to the experience. Won't disappoint.

Two dinners, a week apart, two different outcomes.
First dinner, 4 people, good meals all round, good value for money but the person taking the orders (part owner, I believe) needed reminding of the importance of being friendly and helpful to customers. Overall, a reasonable evening and I was happy to return a week later.
Second meal, 6 people and only 1 reasonable meal out of the 6. The Asian salad was refreshing, crispy and delicious; the accompanying pork belly was a little dry and flavourless but overall, reasonable.
Four serves of roast pork were very dry; the meat looked as if it had been cooked hours ago. Definitely a thumbs down from all concerned.
The one serve of lamb rack was raw. Pink lamb is lovely, but this was raw. The waitress reluctantly returned it to the kitchen. When it was returned to the table, it was just as raw, but part of the rack had been removed from the plate. The solution should have been to replace the raw lamb with a new serve, cooked appropriately.
The waitress's implied attitude was that "you win some, you lose some."
In the absence of a replacement main course, an offer of a complimentary dessert may not have been accepted but would have gone a long way to appeasing a very dissatisfied customer.
This is not a dining room any of us will choose to dine at again in the foreseeable future, not because of the cooking blunders but because of the way the complaint about the lamb was handled.

The food was absolutely delicious, I cannot understate that -- but when I ordered a "rack of lamb" for $36, I did NOT expect only 2 bones. That is a conjoined set of lamb cutlets, not a rack 😂 very disappointed in that. Would love to rate higher otherwise, because the morsel I did receive was very tasty

What a gorgeous little bar. The ladies behind are just amazing - I can be difficult because I think out loud.

I've worked in hospitality and know that there are other places these women would rather be, but they're here serving my dinner instead if their own family.

Thank you Commercial Team! Glad to call you my local!!

(Feel free to comment about the correct use of the words, 'there', 'their' and 'they're')

I had salt and pepper squid which I think came out of a bag because it had no flavour. When asked about it just a smile so I'm guessing the kitchen didn't get the message. My wife in the other hand had the chicken schnitzel which was good. In closing if you ask someone about there food at least get to them

We dined here each night whilst staying at Strathalbyn. Loved the stonework on the inside. The pub has two sittings. On the first night we were able to get in on the first but second night later. Both nights were not crowded or noisy.
They had a great choice on the menu and we took advantage of the half serve schnitzel's which were just the correct size for us.
Definitely recommended.

Went for something to eat and a quick drink on labour day weekend. I was so impressed with this pub. Great atmosphere, friendly welcoming staff and fantastic food 10 out of 10 I will definitely be visiting here again 😁

Arrived 5 minutes after meals closed, Chef was good enough to do a couple of schnitzels for us for lunch. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, I'm not big on schnitzels but I have to say I had the beef and it was the best I've ever had. So if you want a good one this is the place to go (my wife had a chicken schnitzel and she said that was amazing). Thanks Commercial Hotel

Had the chance to have lunch at this pub in Stathalbyn. Friendly staff, a good menu and prompt service. We enjoyed the mains of roast pork and chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce. Serves were generous and the food was tasty. Roasted veggies with the roast were excellent. Serving size of the salad with the schnitzel was ample and it included beetroot! Well worth a visit.

've it i ful food and good service.hard working staff.

Nice cold beer served buy a well mannered barperson.

Came here really wanting to like it but left quite disappointed. Limited beers (mostly bogan stuff like West End) and rather disappointing meals. However, wife said the house red was a good drop.

Atmosphere was good but a huge let down were the boomers playing pokies in the adjacent room, which undermines the dining experience in a big way.

Can't say I'll be back anytime soon. Cheers

A ripper place for a meal, service is amazing and prices are great too.
Best pub in strathalbyn

I recommend the barramundi - perfectly crispy and spicy skin with melt-in-your-mouth fillet. The rice-noodle salad was a really tasty fusion accompaniment and it's nice to see chefs re-discovering fresh fennel - this time combined with coriander and mint and the rice noodles carry the flavours well.

Friendly and quick service, it was a wonderful NYE treat

Great pub good atmosphere wish you could stay upstairs though

Quiet hotel. Reasonable meal prices.

Good meals, good service, friendly staff would recommend

Beat range of alcohol and the Commercial Hotel has the best service and meals in town. You won't be disappointed

Had lunch there Sunday with 3 mates, the meals were great, the Chicken Schnitzel is one of the best I have tasted. Great service, friendly staff. Meals came out hot and fast, nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This is one of the best hotels I have been to in a long time.
The entree serve of onion rings was far bigger than I expected.
My wife had the beef brisket and you could tell that it was going to be tender just by looking at it and she was not disappointed.
I had the seafood plate I found the fish a little bit oily it could of been drained a bit more before serving.
The staff on the day were very friendly and service was promt.
I would highly recommend this hotel

Great little country town pub with awesome food, had lunch there with our 3 boyz & my wife, couldn't finish our meals, big, filling but bloody yummy with great service
