The interior of the building is stunning. The employees were all very lovely and accomodating.
Food wise, we ordered the garlic prawns for entree, I ordered the twice cooked pork belly and my partner the diggers lamb shoulder. The garlic prawns were amazing, 5/5, everything was perfect, we just wish there was another slice of bread to soak up the rest of the garlic sauce. My partner really enjoyed her meal 5/5. My meal was okay, the veges were cooked well and the mash was great. The pork belly was a bit of a let down. I was expecting crispy crackling on the top but it was soggy, rubbery and hard to cut through. The texture put me off eating the pork belly unfortunately.

Our table overlooked long Jetty and the lake.
I had the crumbed lamb chops chips and veggies very happy with it.
Definitely reccomend if in the area for lunch or dinner.
Prices reasonable for a sit down meal approx $25

Have never been so disappointed in a meal as I was with the Thai Beef Salad. The crispy noodles were not cooked, impossible to eat and far too much. The meat whilst tender was burnt and dry. The only good part was watching Dee the robot deliver the meals.

Decent place, plenty of food to choose from. Kids play area, nice and bright and lots of space. Had the steak sandwich, it was done well, just as you'd expect. I would happily come back for another feed.

After reading mixed reviews we didn't have high expectations so were pleasantly surprised to find the food was quite decent. We had the eggplant parmigiana, roast of the day with veg, the jalapeno poppers and kids nuggets. You don't go to a club expecting 5 star dining, but rather hopefully a decent tasting meal, good sized portions and a relaxed family environment, which this club had so it ticks the boxes.

We had a Steak sandwich, and crumbed chicken. Plane cafe food at high end prices. I mean it was. Ok, but $24+ for a barely 90g steak and a little salad was disappointing. Left unsatisfied.

Great place for a quiet coffee. Bring the kids to entertain themselves in this great play space out of the cold, wet weather. Food is good too ?

The only good thing was the actual facility. Anyways, firstly the customer service wasn't all that great. The lady who was serving us made it obvious she didn't want to be there and made us feel so bad. When the food came, half of it was not edible. I'm not extremely picky neither have critical tastebuds but we literally couldn't eat it. What's even more upsetting is the fact that the food took 45 minutes to come out. So after waiting that long, we couldn't even eat the food.
1. Firstly, the kids' pasta literally looked like dog food (Photo below). It's so obvious that it came straight out of a can. The kids' nuggets were ok because you can't really go wrong with that.
2. Then the kids' cheeseburger was so dry and practically burnt. Was just cheese with what tasted like sand.
3. The Thai Beef Salad- can you even call it that? It didn't look OR taste like any thai beef salad I've ever had. The meat was so tangy and weird. And there were these weird white crispy noodle thingos that made up 1/2 the meal. (Picture attached), There was basically more crispy noodle thingos than the actual meat and salad combined. Definitely not worth the nearly $30 we paid for.
4. The Garlic Focaccia was actually not bad BUT we paid almost $8 for a tiny little roll. Definitely not worth the money.
5. Chicken Parmi- Probably the most edible thing on the menu. BUT the salad dressing that came with it was an absolute turn off. It literally smelled like sprite mixed with vinegar. So we either had to have plain salad or salad covered in this mixture my little sister could've made.

However, this is just my experience... there are many who gave this place a 5 star review.

Food at moderate to expensive for a club but good size servings and an above average quality. Service just average neither exceptionally good or bad. It was a quiet time as per my photos. Great views of the lake and large carpark. I would imagine a busy club during weekends and holidays.

I have been coming here for 15 years.
The food is the best its been.

The Roast was surprisingly delicious.
The Kids burger is a winner.
Food is good.
Great view... I wish they had a balcony.... imagine having cocktails whilst watching the sunset over the lake.

If there isn't any live music, it lacks atmosphere.

Great staff.... really good service.

LIVE LOVE & DINED on the Central Coast for the past 14yrs but NEVER went here due to advice before and after pandemic.

Does this $33 sirloin look rare to you ? I was not offered a new steak as I had supposedly started to eat it.

??'??

When we walked in the receptionist did not greet us and kept talking to his colleague even whilst scanning us in. I thought this was unprofessional. The food and customer service in the bar and gaming were great though ??'?

Quick summary - great venue, great value food, and ideal for groups. Feel slightly guilty about the 4* rating, but, as we say in England, not my cup of tea, hence no 5.
We'd arranged to meet up here with some family and friends for an afternoon lunch. When we arrived the place was relatively empty (it's huge inside) so we had no problems ordering our food and drinks.
By the time everyone else arrived, about an hour later it was rammed. They waited nearly two hours for their food. Not ideal when you have quite a few hungry kids to feed.

My meal was amazing a little too much for me though. My daughter ordered a burger and apparently the bacon was over cooked. We stayed to watch the u2 cover band. They were pretty good but there was something not quite right re the sound. It was something with the speaker to the left of the stage which was a shame. Otherwise great night

Delicious! Food servings are great for the price! Staff are friendly and there's plenty of seating. You can watch sports and have the kids play in the play area

Diggers @ the Entrance is actually on the central coast highway @ Long Jetty as you approach the Entrance, Get your head around that & all good from there ! Fully Renovated ,polite & welcoming staff ,great food ,cold beer & a large variety of gaming machines. The most wonderful view of sunsets over the lake from the regular dining room ! Lawn bowls, raffles ,shows ,entertainment, bingo etc ,Its all here !???"??"??"

Food seems to have gotten better, we enjoyed all our meals. Really nice sunset views over the lake. Comfortable dining, modernised, well kept. Could do with a bit of background music just to add a bit of atmosphere, when we were eating it was a bit too quiet (where you hear others forks and knives). It's always cold near the kids play area, so it's a bit uncomfortable to sit there if you have kids playing.

On my first time coming I enjoyed the 80s music show. The staff appeared tired but certainly did not compromise on service.
Given the busy night it would be nice to have extra staff to clear the tables.

On my second visit, I wished the tables were wiped properly.
Pecan tarts are hard to find, could not resist that one.

The food taste is pretty average but very reasonable on quantity. Given prices have increased all round, I cannot say if its worth the buck. I feel the food at Mingara tastes better.

Love the way you can byo for kids birthday parties.

Yes I will visit again.

It's a mini casino.
It's got that many pension-takers it's insane. Especially for a place the size it is. However it's still pretty good. The venue is spread out and easy to navigate and find, a few good places go grab some food and the drinks are cold as you expect in anywhere that had a fridge.
The staff are friendly and respectable and you never feel like you aren't welcome.
It has these cool phone chargers next to some pokies, good idea.
It's still a "smaller than Mingara" casino.

Been twice. Both times food was good for the price paid. Good service. Good location and views. Kids area/toddlers retreat is a blessing and keep our daughter busy.

Last trip was pretty busy, still had our entre in 7 minutes and mains under 15min.

Salt and Pepper Squid was nice, fresh and crispy.
The special was snapper, cooked to perfection. Nice dinner out. Not flash but good honest good, cooked well and served with a smile

Average.We called in for lunch and a few beers after 3 hrs driving. Chose to eat off the snack bar menu in the TAB room. We all had a very good feed for what it was. One mate had the burger that he rated in the top ten. Another had the barramundi that as also good and I had the BLAT with salad that was quite good as well. Beer was cold and good.

Covid-19 enforced check in, so felt very safe. Excellent choice of meals including vegetarian and gluten free. Delicious meals at a reasonable price. Will be back

The food was most outstanding

Better

Not a single feature on their machines and I spent $300
