Great steak, good flavour and portion. nice local beers on tap. I suggest skipping the dessert as ice cream sundae was average. Better to get an extra beer

Dining Experience @ The Golden Wattle.
.
Established in October 2018, The Golden Wattle is a wink-and-nod to inclusivity, with a large open plan kitchen that serves up comforting pub classics alongside inventive creations.
.
Ambience is bright, spacious, and comfortable. Groups flow in and out, perching around communal areas, chatter buzzing in the air.
.
Service is welcoming and friendly, though queues to order are a bit disorganised. Staff engage in friendly jovial banter, display some product knowledge, and clean up efficiently.
.
Food is Modern Australian pub classics inspired by British English cuisine, as well as in-house experimental creations. Quality is consistently good, and ingredients are fresh. Portions are large for individuals. Prices are comparable to elsewhere, budget about AUD $35 per person.
.
A popular childhood snack, the Fritz And Sauce (AUD $7) is on the menu as a nostalgic order for some. This sandwich has a fluffy soft tender texture with bready vegetal sour sweet meaty savoury flavour, with the fritz being a minced pork luncheon spam slab. Extra luscious with the heavy use of butter.
.
The Fish And Chips (AUD $26) here features a boneless battered King George Whiting fish fillet, golden and crisp crunchy outside, flaky tender oily soft inside, with pleasant sweet salty savoury flavour. A dash of lemon juice lends a zingy zesty tangy sour flavour, contrasting the richness.
.
Served with a fresh crisp mesclun salad (lettuce, baby spinach, mizuna, radicchio, rocket leaves / arugula) with bright vegetal bitter herbal earthy sweet flavour, and fluffy crisp medium-sized potato fries / chips with starchy salty sweet savoury flavour.

The golden wattle had a funky atmosphere and enjoyed the place, the staff where friendly, helpful and gave great service all in all I'd definitely go there again next time I'm down from Sydney

Specious restaurant that has tables for dining and a nice bar for drinks. Good for small groups too.

Foodwise, the variety isn't that wide as it's primarily a drinking hole. However, the beef schnitzel was delicious and really filling. The Portuguese wood-roasted chicken is okay, not the most exciting of flavours.

There isn't table service, despite the appearance of a restaurant. Thus take note that you have to place your order at the counter. It would be better to either have a QR code ordering method or get table service for food. Customers who like to dine at a restaurant want to be seated, not line up at the counter to order as if it were a fast food eatery.

Possibly the best pub burger I've ever had. My friend was also very impressed with the steak. There was a nice selection of drinks, the service was good, and the atmosphere relaxing. This place is definitely a winner!

The Golden Wattle Pub on Pirie Street in Adelaide is a classic Australian pub that serves up delicious food and drinks in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I've been there a few times now, and I've always had a great experience.

The pub has a wide range of food options on offer, from pub classics like burgers, steaks, and schnitzels to more modern dishes like pulled pork tacos and cauliflower wings. I've tried a few different things on the menu, and I've never been disappointed. The food is always well-cooked and flavorful, and the portions are generous.

The drink menu is also extensive, with a wide selection of beers, wines, and cocktails to choose from. I'm a big fan of their craft beers, and they always have a good rotation of different taps on offer.

The Golden Wattle Pub is a great place to go for a casual meal with friends or family. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the staff are always happy to help. The prices are also very reasonable, making it a great value for money option.

Best pub i have ever been to. Best food in the city imo, delicious, reasonably priced, great range for pub menu, amazing schnitzel. amazing friendly staff, great atmosphere, i will for sure be back and then some!

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy. It's definitely a must try!

We had a quick bite here and thought it was good service and the food equally so. It had pretty good atmosphere and lots of people seemed to frequent dinner service here. So make sure you order fast if busy. I liked the upstairs loft area.

Very roomy venue, with so many options for seating. Didn't try the food but the service was lovely and welcoming when ordering beverages. Plans to go again and take my partner for a date.

Service 10/10 the staff were so friendly and hospitable. Ordered the chicken burger and chips with a schooner for $24. Good value and good size burger and chips. Will definitely come back.

The customer service provided by Josh was phenomenal! He went out of his way to make us comfortable and make adjustments to suit our needs. The environment was lively with great bands playing inside and heaters outside. Definitely a great place to have a drink with a few friends!

Staff are absolutely amazing. Genuine smiles all round. The location is really good and parking wasn't hard to find. I ordered Chicken Kiev balls (all day menu) with a side of lemon. If you like Chicken Kiev and mini things. That's your go too!! Wine menu is really good and extensive. I ordered the Wattle Shiraz. Delicious 🤤 . The upstairs area is sooooo chill also. I was able to sit up there without the hustle and bustle downstairs. (Mostly because I came at around 3pm so it was quite busy). Can honesty say I loveeeeee The Golden Wattle and I shall return. I also noticed the vegetarian section on the menu is very accomodating :)

Second time eating here and twice a winner . I come from mildura
Great pub food friendly staff . I highly recommend if you after a nice authentic pub meal .
The frying oil is clean . You can feel it while eating their lovely chips . I had a fish and chips that's was lovely nice tartare sauce fresh salad . Couldn't fault it . 2 adults 2 kids spent around $70 with beers
One thing for sure I will be back .
Thanks

I had lunch there today. The fish and chips were very average. Fish was just ok. Batter was heavy. chips overcooked and way too salty. It's got a good vibe and nice for a drink but I wouldn't eat there again

Hands down the best pub meal I have ever had.
Ordered the wood grilled rump steak with salad, chips and fried egg ... omg it was sensational.
Definitely will be back and highly recommend ??'?

Dinner for a table of 8 on a Tuesday early evening. Service was a little slower than expected, as it wasn't busy, and took around half an hour from ordering to the food arriving. Friendly staff.

Potato wedges - perfect, great seasoning and crispy with a fluffy filling. Good size portions of sour cream and sweet chilli.
Fried chicken burger - chips are fine but disappointing after how good the wedges are. Plenty of our group had chips left over. The burger was great; crispy, juicy, fresh apple slaw.
Vegan salt and pepper eggplant - way too many chillis that the flavour was completely overpowered.

Update for Feb 2023: they don't serve chips or potato wedges as individual serves at the moment due to the shortage of potatoes.

Impressed. Staff were excellent, food was cooked to perfection, we were in a hurry, and they coped just fine.

Everyone in my group said they were looking forward to returning, when not in a hurry.

I prefer this place, to other venues who have the look of the place on trend, but the food is disappointing. The Golden Wattle does the basics very well, (the service and the food), which is what really matters.

Very handy place to eat, for the nearby Rhino Room venue.

Chairs without cold, hard seats, big tick from me.

Delicious food & quick service. Banquette seating was really comfortable. Got a great chicken parmigiana with mashed potato & greens plus a soft drink for under $30

Fantastic food and great drinks range. I used to visit this place when it was 'The Office' and back then it was average, The Golden Wattle have significantly improved the offer at this location. The quality of the chicken schnitzels is always consistently good, I recommend adding the Mexican Parmigiana topping! Their sourdough and curry chips are great starters. I'll be back many times 😁

The Wattle is a great place! It is just next to my work. If you become a member (free) you get great happy hour discounts and money back on your membership. Let that build up and what do you know... free drinks and food!
The food is good however I do not recommend the beef burger. Was a bit dry to my liking.

Wood Oven Roasted Portuguese Chicken is must try here. Good Selection of drinks and with amazing friendly staff

This spot has gone through several dining iterations and now that it's The Golden Wattle it is delivering great pub food and great service. It is consistently good. The go to dish is the schnitzel but everything is solid. Great value.

Always packed with a big crowd of people. This place located in the heart of Adelaide city is one of the places you have to go for a some drinks and food. The food is delicious and quantitative. A beer with steak is lovely. Make sure to take a sip and bite while around there.

Fabulous pub. Friendly staff, great food. Fantastic chips and onion rings, straight from the deep fryer, perfectly cooked. We shared the 500g rib eye special between 3 of us, with some extra chips and the brie cob bake. The staff were really lovely, the service was attentive and accommodating. They have a great selection of coopers on tap too. Highly recommend!

Food is decent. Service is good. Butter chicken sauce on a schnitzel is surprisingly good.

The finest establishment in Adelaide and if you disagree you're dead to me

nice place to have group happy hours and party. The boss is a nice guy who loves pinot noir. A lot of options of wine, spirits and cocktails to enjoy.

Interesting place with an odd feel but curiously old school Australian vibe and solid old and new beer selections. Solid spot for some casual drinks.

This is one of those pubs that I had walked past so many times, but never actually visited! Popped in today after work with some colleagues for a few beers, we managed to get a couch for six people which was ideal. Nice ambience, good service, very happy. Didn't try the food, but could smell other people's food and it smelled terrific! Will be back for sure ?

As far as I know - the only place that does an eggplant parmi in town, and it's delicious??'???'?

My daughter got married pin the registery office and we had a low key after wedding party here. Terrific afternoon. Staff were friendly and so thoughtful and helpful. Made the day very special.

Is an OK pub and their beers on tap are great.
But I have always found the layout lacking a comfortable ambience

Too big perhaps?

I used to find the same thing when it was the office.

Nice beef schnitzel. My friend had the chicken burger, looked tasty and good size. Would try that one next time. Prices reasonable for pub meal

Had the wattle burger, was great. Tasted like a high quality whopper.

Good food, great prices. Chips were fantastic

Great option in this section of the city, standard pub fare with some nice twists on the menu.

I ordered the salt and pepper eggplant for the first time because the description looked nice, and f%*k me it was freaking delicious!!! can not find anything bad on this menu! leaps and bounds above all pub food in adelaide. seriously.
