Bands for Jumpers and Jazz really good. Dinner menu abysmal. Food very ordinary average. Would never go back to eat.

Hi , I just wanted to say that my wife and I attended this business for lunch today and found this hotel to be very tidy and clean. The staff were friendly and the food was fantastic, my lunch was a roast beef with real roast vegetables, like real roast potatoes and roast pumpkin and fresh green beans and broccolini. Nothing from a can or microwave oven, and plenty of gravy. It was like going to nannies for lunch and getting a home cooked meal ?. My wife had a serving of rissoles and vegetables that was equally impressive ??'? and then came dessert, OMG ? I had the apple pie , and it was fantastic from the presentation to the finish was a 10 out of 10 all day long. My wife had the special for her dessert that was a lemon curd tart with meringue chards and strawberries, she said that it was also great and with just the right amount of lemon and would certainly have it again ? so in closing, a huge thumbs up to the chef and your kitchen hand that delivered the meals, sorry I don't know your names, but we think that you are doing a wonderful job and keep up the great work and will definitely be keeping the Criterion Hotel in Warwick on our list of great food and country hospitality. Love it. 5 stars is not enough. Should be 10

Beautiful pub dinner. Highly recommend the sticky date pudding - one of the best - if not the best?- I have had between here and the UK! Lovely staff and great selection of wines and beers. Take some time to fill your tummy and play a couple of games pool ??'??

The staff give friendly helpful hospitality, the lunch menu offers a good variety and the meals are generous and affordable priced. Lovely ambiance in a charming historic building. A great lunch stop! Highly recommended ?

The best surf and turf we have ever had. Meat was cooked to perfection and extra delicious calamari and char grilled prawns.
Chips were delicious and my wife had the veggies with hers and said they were amazing! A special thank you to the chef for a wonderful meal!!!

Good try trying to sell cheap steak off cuts as crumbed rib fillet. Nice new menu tho ???? USE to be a great feed wouldn't recommend to anyone now days ????

Up from Melbourne travelling thru and stayed 2 nights to see this lovely town.
Went to the Criterion Hotel for dinner on Thursday 28th Dec....the staff were wonderful...so friendly and obliging.
Couldn't fault the meals service or the atmosphere... wonderful

We dined at the restaurant. My 2 year old was being an absolute nightmare. We were early so it was quiet (phew!). The staff were so lovely providing colouring in items for her and being understanding even though it would have been so annoying for them! Luckily she settled before the restaurant filled up. Typical Mum, I ordered the pasta carbonara as to keep one hand free, and it had no business being as good as it was! Truly comparable to my experience in Italy. You made my night! Thank you!

We used to go for toasted sandwiches, but they are no longer available for lunch. The pulled pork rolls are very good, but double the price.

I don't know how to thank you enough after coming to our rescue when our 7 room 3night accommodation at a Motel in Warwick cancelled our booking with out our knowledge the night before we were to arrive.
You were so professional friendly and accommodating on our request to get 7 rooms for the 3 night. I honestly don't know what we would have done without your help.
Thanks to you we soon had an amazing weekend at the Jumpers and Jazz.
I would've highly recommend staying at this unique and beautiful hotel ,great location, very clean, food was delicious and apart from the staff being friendly and efficient they went way beyond amazing to cater for us. Huge thank you

If you love good old pub accommodation The Criterion is definitely worth staying at. We'll be back!!

I loved the old history, the rooms have 16 foot ceilings. The staff were very kind and helpful. The food in the restaurant was delicious.

Friendly staff .
Food is basic but very good
Room is as you would expect from such an old hotel, but spotlessly clean.Shared bathrooms are clean , free of mould.
The building is original with timber floors ,large balcony along the front of the building.

I stay at many of these remote location hotels when travelling for the country experience in all facets.
This one didn't meet the hopes.

Rooms big and clean.
Meal was a shocker. Super disappointed here. But you can only judge what you get.
Beer cold.
However no real country vibe that I was hoping for.
Think there's more in the area I'd like to explore over this one.

Stayed in the Princess Suite ??'? just for Business on my own Treated like ??'? a king ? lol!! And Valerie and her Friendly staff are friendly and cater to ones every whim cheers ? regards from stewy Hudson and Family Dalby Queensland xxxx

It wasn't a bad night there but being seeing as though we were seeing in the New Year abit of live music would of been nice not just a free juke box.

Take a group of seniors here for lunch. Everyone enjoyed their meals. One of the seniors (who always complains, thought it was a bit noisy in the dining room.) It was a little noisy with the pokies near by and the television showing cricket and the music playing. And then came in a big group of people. Next time we come back, we might book for the back dining room. Always, great menu with a small selection. Good prices and really friendly staff. Thanks chef, meals arrived quickly... Hot and presented well..

Last night we had a gathering of 16 people from different locations meet at the Criterion Hotel and everyone complimented on how beautiful the meals were. They were all cooked very well and most of all , every meal came out hot. It was a pleasure to receive beautiful hot food and service from very pleasant staff. The desserts were of the same high standards. Well done.

Friendly staff and great home cooked meals. Big cheap meals. Mixed grill was great. Recommend the rissoles

Gorgeous traditional Aussie pub. Wish there were more pubs like it.
Traditional old wood bar with stained glass windows, gorgeous building.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Great menu, and great cheap specials on the lunch menu. We had roast pork lunch special for $9.90!!!! Delicious and a great serve too.
I just wish we had a pub like this near us

Massive serving sizes, great value for money. Food was delicious and staff were friendly. Plenty of tables and chairs for dining in.

Clean and warm room (Nos 19) with fresh sheets and towels. Common Room was very usefull with fridge, kettle, cups and plates, tea and coffee facilities etc with a table and TV. Great meals and friendly Staff.

I didn't eat, I just came to be a drinking buddy to a single mum that doesn't get out much. Pool tables, jukebox, cheap Captain Morgans and a constant undertone of slight danger. Brilliant.

I very recently stayed of 6 nights and would happily stay again. I was on my own but met up with friends who also stayed in different rooms. This grand old building doesn't pretend to be either 4 or 5 star but I would say my experience was 4 star. I didn't particularly like the gaming feel of the bar but enjoyed a few drinks there anyway. The roast meal I had one night was quite good and excellent value. I found the staff very friendly and helpful. They "joke" a bit about ghosts and the noisy floorboards in the hall as people go to the communal toilets etc in the middle of the night probably add to that myth. Absolutely great location right next to the helpful Tourist Information Centre and directly opposite a significant shopping centre which contains two major supermarkets , a liquor shop and much more. Ample parking out the back but it is not secure. I was on a motorbike - had no issues in the that regard. Room was relatively freshly painted, some blemishes in the halls. Lovely pressed tin ceiling. There were tea and coffee making facilities plus a fridge and toaster in the communal guest kitchen. Great value and I'd stay again

We had a fantastic experience here. We were on a long drive with our two dogs and got to the pub just before dinner service ended. The staff were so helpful and set us up outside so that our dogs could relax on the grass. Dinner came out so quickly, was delicious and great value.

Friendly staff and above average pub grub (meals)

Great greetings . Pub food very reasonably priced . Cold beer .

The Chicken Schnitzel was good, but the beef fillet was a bit off, we are not sure what was wrong but it was tasting funny. Garlic breads were pretty good. The attendants were friendly.

Great daily lunch specials under $10. A grand old building.
I highly recommend calling in if you are in Warwick ??

Budget accommodation that was clean, friendly and centre of town.
A bit of a snub I was worried at first, but surprisingly enjoyed the stay and will endeavour to stay here again n zt year for Jumpers and Jazz festival.
Photo was us having a bit of fun with ghost stories hehe

Service was lovely. The pub itself was furnished beautifully. They used the old architecture and have pressed metal ceilings which made for a great atmosphere. The room we stayed in however was very small and had a short double bed. That would have been okay, except the curtain was stained, the walls needed a good clean from shoulder height and down on each wall, the carpets were dusty in the corners and the fan was covered in dust. The nights were cold, so an extra blanket stored in the room would have been really good too. The shower, toilet and sink were all shared and seperate. The toilet and sink were clean, but felt like a school camp style. The shower had mould growing above the tiles and the shower head was broken but still worked. All in all, I would go back for a couple of drinks, but wouldn't stay there again.

Great counter lunch and bar staff so nice and friendly along with engaging conversations.
Rissoles and vegetables was 1 of the best I've had in a long-time.
Don't pass by Warwick and drop in for lunch or dinner

It was a lovely evening with my girlfriends sitting in the lounge area near the fireplace behind the pool tables, this area is lovely for a drink and a chat, a quiet and intimate area. The staff were lovely and helpful and ensured we enjoyed the space.

Beautiful pastries, nice assortment of tea (leaves) Friendly and helpful staff.
Would gladly go back.

Nice old style heritage pub with classic pub meals. Very reasonable prices and friendly staff. Meals took a long time but new chef so understandable. Pleasant evening.

Worst meal I've ever had, and the entree came out after the main meal and the cook said better late than never. Only reason for the 5 stars is the bar staff were very friendly and I feel sorry for them as they have to put up with the so called cook.

How lovely are the staff. Made us feel very welcome with our Italian greyhound in the beer garden!! We are always searching for the perfect country rissole! Deliciously moist with mixed herb flavour. Excellent rib steak cooked medium. This will be our go to when in Warwick. Thank you for your country hospitality!!

Only stopped in for a quick drink. It was good.

It is always pleasant at criterian..spotlessly clean...polite & friendly staff ..

Prime Location, Excellent ServicesnClean Room & Amenities, VALUE u2b50u2b50u2b50u2b50u2b50 Large Balcony from room to relax in the sunshine & enjoy a wine.nManagement offered excellent service. Booked again here for next year's Jumpers & Jazz Festival. An excellent long weekend away with my partner.

The rooms & amenities are clean. The staff were very welcoming & helpful. The food was good country fare & alcohol prices were very good. We enjoyed our stay, right in the middle of town, & would definitely go there again.

Did not enjoy my meal at all when we visited. Weren't permitted to eat in dining room. Food was over cooked bordering on burnt and over priced. Mashed potato was not fresh. Tasted like old packet mashed potato and other vegetables tasted like they were from frozen packets. Toilets are adjacent eating tables with clear view into the ladies each time the door opened. Staff in eating area were surly. Drab atmosphere. Staff in main bar seemed more hospitable. Have to say I preferred the Criterion back 20+ years ago when it had ambience, an air of class, friendly service and top food.
