Food was excellent, big meals and fresh salad bar. Recommend you to try especially if staying at Jubilee RV stop for free. Support small towns. Great spot.

Had lunch there and a drink. Old place but worth checking out. We had butterfish and chips and help yourself salad bar.

Had Sunday night dinner at the pub. Friendly service both from the 2 staff on and the meals were served hot, yummy and super quick! Small dining room was almost full so would be best to book.

Local genuine country pub with amazing meals and fantastic hospitality from all staff, early mothers day dinner was enjoyed by the whole family, large meal portions and freshly prepared self service salad bar, definately the pub to visit for meals and friendly service in Crystal Brook!

We had our anniversary dinner at this authentic country pub last night.
It was an amazing meal, with a fresh salad bar that you could help yourself to as well. Hospitality from Rod and Tracy was exceptional. Will definitely go there again!

Ordered the Grilled chicken breast topped with bacon, avocado and hollandaise sauce served with chips, it was amazing ??'? included was all you can eat salad bar. Lovely and friendly staff.

The chef nailed it, a very very nice parma with chips and salad. Cooked to perfection, with great service from the chef who comes to the table to make sure your happy, not leaving out the bar staff they are friendly and welcoming. Glad we stopped in.

Dinner last night, sensational. Panko crumbed calamari one of the best I've had. Porterhouse cooked to perfection. Beautiful salad bar and chips. Friendly service. Would highly recommend.

Great meal, simple but great pub food. Highly recommend.

Large group of us at the pub 30/08/2023 for dinner, first time I've been there. Top meal, food & drinks absolutely delicious & rarely with a large group do meals come out fresh, hot, fast & nobody was left waiting. I had seafood trio, smashing stuff well done I'll be back! Good prices too. Whole group very happy with their meals. Hard to find a place that has GREAT chips, perfect everything thanks.

Great traditional pub! Meals were top notch, fresh and made to order with salad bar included. Rooms and amenities are spotless. Made to feel at home. Thank-you!!

In 30 plus years of going to pubs I think tonight's experience was the best yet. Hosts are friendly, approachable and very generous. Great food, service and dog friendly as well (such a welcome surprise 😁). Will definitely recommend Crystal Brook Hotel to others.

Stayed 1 night after driving from Sydney. Lady who checked me in at bar was very friendly. Had best nights sleep.
Thankyou

Two of us ate here (we were the only ones in the dining room). We had a single serving of toasted Cheese and Garlic Turkish Bread (four large slices) and both had the Chicken, Bacon and Mushroom Penne (see photo). We also tried a selection from the fresh salad bar. The Turkish Bread was scrummo. Far more in size than what we expected. The Penne was also huge, with lots of flaked parmesan cheese on top and lots of big chunks of chicken. It was a little too salty for us (but I did not notice this until much later yet my wife commented early into her meal). Maybe the addition of salt in addition to the normally salty bacon was a tad too much. It was not so bad that we did not finish the meals. When we're back here sometime we'll simply ask for less salt. Too easy. The garden salad, potato salad, coleslaw, and whole beetroot (cut in half) was indeed fresh and tasty, the perfectly cooked beetroot being my favorite. We were full-as-a-goog when we left (the large Turkish Bread did us in at the start). Friendly publican, with a smile and a natter. Why is it when we find a great place to eat, it's 100's of K's from home? *sigh*

I was here 2 years ago. Food and hospitality was great then and still great now under new management. Great to see the same chef after 2 years. Fresh food and amazing salad bar with the favourites. Schnitzel crumb that didn't separate, gravy that was fresh and piping hot. Steak that was amazing. A country pub worth stopping by for a meal and a beer at a reasonable price

Possibly the rudest publican I have met , called in for a drink to support the hotel as we do in the small towns that have rv camps , we were the only customers in the hotel and I can see why ,very rude to the couple we were with and the same to me , one other customer came in while we were there wanting to purchase a bottle of wine, when told the price was $28 she replied that she normally gets this for $7 at Dan Murphys he said your not there now .
You expect to pay a little more in the little pub in small towns but not 4 times more ,we will not come back. Will go up the street to the other hotel next time .

Fantastic accommodation by the owners. I came in from a long drive and was afforded a most hospitable welcome. I had the butterfish duo for dinner. I'm from a coastal area. This matched and potentially beat the finest fish and chip shops in the Northern Rivers district NSW. The room is clean and has all you need, fridge, microwave, kettle, tea/coffee milk etc.
The new owner has just taken charge as of 01/01/2023.
If you were not impressed by the rolling hills and ancient peaks on your drive in, Crystal Brook Hotel will certainly sate your other appetites.

Had a chicken schnitty, excellent. Service quick and friendly. Beer cold. Can't ask for more.

Really friendly guys who were super helpful and accommodating! Cooked a great steak! Classic older style pub rooms but bed was very comfee, rooms and facilities clean and well kept!

Absolutely ridiculous. Booked a room for family coming from outer state for my wedding and this place cancelled my booking and has give room away. Recommend not bothering here. Absolutely poor service. Pitty can't give now starts.

The publican and his crew could not do enough for us and we're so lovely. We were hiking in on the Heysen and they picked up goodies from the bakery for us as we wouldn't be in town in time for. The restaurant food was next level amazing! Big delicious serves cooked to perfection. Humble rooms, clean sheets. What more can you ask for?

We really enjoyed our time here. Friendly service and we all enjoyed our meals. We had chicken schnitzel and seafood sauce .. highly recommended! Panko crumbed prawns were delicious too . Thankyou

Stopped in on the way to port Augusta for some lunch and a couple beers. Food was unreal, beers fresh and great service! Would definitely come here again!

Stayed across the road at the free camp with the family, went in for a cold one, Rodd was great to chat with, very welcoming, stayed for dinner had great meals, will definitely stop there again

I had a couple of beers here, we stayed in the free camping next door. Nice old pub and a great place to overnight if you have a van. Highly recommended

Had a great meal, cold beer, and friendly staff, in a lovely old pub, in a charming town. A job well done by the publican.

Enjoyed Our Visit to the Crystal Brook Hotel, The Food was Delicious and Fresh, The Staff were Friendly and Helpful! Found the Atmosphere Comfortable and Clean, Also Great Music! Will definitely be visiting again.

Such a beautiful meal with such beautiful service and the kids were looked after too with free colouring in books and ice cream. Country hospitality at its finest!

Great take away meals when dining in is not an option. Serving size and presentation
excellent . Friendly staff. Clean premises. I recommend pay a visit.

Great service great food. Next time I am in the area. I will be eating there again.

Extremely nice hamburgers and the staff go the extra mile to make sure your happy and got everything you need

Great friendly staff.
Top quality food served in a timely fashion

Everyone was very welcoming. Good facilities and cold beer

Food was great, wait time was short and pretty good value

What a truly great pub! Comfy bed in a charming old room, aircon was spot on, being summer. Very old pub, very clean, cheap drinks, great food and a trainspotters paradise. The friendliest staff too. We will be back.

The schnitzels here are delicious. The drinks are cheap and the service is fast. We love to visit when we're in town.

Great meals, included salad bar and fantastic atmosphere. The men's toilet is outside so make sure you know that or you'll be doing the worry run looking for it

My wife and I stayed at the hotel on Wednesday 27th November 2019. Overlooking some of the other reviews regarding the establishment as being old and tired The friendly and very helpful staff make guests feel totally at home. We will certainly stay here again on our return trip to Perth. A genuine thank you from Mike and Dale.

Good variety of meals on the menu and reasonably priced, but all the meals that we had in our group were very average at best. Was quite a let down to be honest and I wouldn't recommend it based on this experience

Almost perfect country pub - good food and wine choices, affable locals, quaint old building still retaining its original feel. The rooms were clean and traditional hotel size, with surprisingly good quality linen given the tariff is just $65 a double. Only disappointment was the balcony is out-of-bounds because the railing is too low for current OH&S. The past two 1/5 ratings seem extreme in both content and score. For the record, the only request is not to use air conditioners during dinner hours because of supply concerns, and some peeling paint and older carpets are par for the course in such rambling heritage stone buildings.
