As a local I've been very critical of the pub since COVID. All the locals I talk too agree. Inexperienced and sometimes rude staff, messed up meal orders and poor quality food.
Decided to bite the bullet and take in one of the front bar meals last night. $20 for a simply delicious beef schnitzel, beautifully cooked, great chips and fresh salad, crumbs might have been slightly over cooked, but otherwise very palatable. The young lady who delivered the food and tidied up the table was delightful.
Things have turned around - so far. I'll be back.

Went out of their way to make space, packed Sunday night. All meals were great and plentiful serves. Kid friendly, parking tight, but a friendly patron put us onto a great spot. Chicken Buffalo burger and pasta awesome.

What a fantastic experience! The see views were stunning, the service was top-notch, and the food was simply exceptional. The Chicken Schnitzel and Crispy Skin Atlantic Salmon were cooked to perfection, and the wide range of wines offered the perfect pairing - the Redstone Shiraz was a highlight. And don't even get me started on the delicious desserts! The entire experience was outstanding, and we can't wait to come back and do it all again. Highly recommend!

I've been eating and drinking here for over 15 years and this week I experienced the worst service and food quality to date.
The salmon was dry, accompanied by sides seemingly burned by strong-smelling oil!
My friend's fish lacked any sides altogether, served only in a broth.
The customer service was equally poor; our request for garlic bread was met with rolled eyes, and when we tried to provide feedback and order more food, the staff didn't seem to care at all. It looked like they wanted to close earlier as it wasn't busy.
This was an incredibly disappointing experience, especially considering we have been dining here for ages.
The staff looked new and maybe needs some better training. Will not be coming back. Very disappointed.

View of the ocean always for 5 stars ?

Me and the wife popped in for a quick lunch. Very nice feeling to the place, and the service was great.
Plenty of food on the plate and left full.
Only one thing I would question is
I ordered boned out chicken buffalo wings. I don't think it was wings but breast shaped like wings.
It was nice, but I prefer the tenderness of the wings.
My wife had fish n chips and enjoyed it.
Do yourself a favour and go check it out

The grange hotel is a great place to have lunch/ dinner with your loved ones, the service is good the staff are friendly. It's located on one of best beaches in Adelaide with a nice view of the jetty. The food is excellent I had one of the best chicken schnitzels at the grange hotel. The beach is great and peaceful I do my shell art all the time.

Very disappointing! Had my daughters farewell dinner for 10 of us on Sunday night. They were very quiet, not many tables of people so very surprised when we went to order & was told there are only 2 schnitzels left & no salmon. Food that we got was very average & was way overpriced for what we got. Was also not impressed that after spending nearly $700 & it was only 8pm, that they were trying to rush us out by clearing away glasses & everything on the table etc even though we were still finishing our drinks. Some staff were very friendly while others couldn't care less. Drinks were also very expensive.
The hotel & location itself was very nice but after my experience this time & the money spent, I will not be going back in a hurry unfortunately :(

Great location and views. A shame about the staff and attitude. Grumpy day. No smiles from waitresses or manager. Only redeeming factor was bar person who tried to take order and serve. Wasn't like it was a busy Monday lunch but we were basically ignored while servers chatted with each other with exception of the bar person. Didn't find out that there were daily specials until after we ordered from the menus because staff wee too busy chatting with themselves. Would only suggest to stop for a drink and the view but go elsewhere for food service. They really should pick up their game and make the experience worth a visit. Food was just ok. So disappointed.

One of the best beach locations,great spot to look at the beach. However the food is horrible, really! Unless you ask for fish and chips the rest is almost uneatable. Service is slow and bad too. We ask a waiters for a desert and she said we need to wait for her to do some computer work. Seriously! A more friendly answer would be the least expected.
The curry is beyond bad I couldn't eat, the chicken taste like cardboard and the sauce is strange. The baby squid risotto is way too black with too much ink. The kids hamburger is very spicy in a way that doesn't taste like meat. I like the menu and all the options but for the price and considering the location they should be doing a lot better.

Good pub with a decent menu and sports bar
But you're going to pay for it as well.
Front bar food is priced well but they make up for it with beer prices.

Won't keep me from going back but it can't be my local at those prices.

We had an 80th Birthday Party there. Lunch time. Good menus, tasty food and wine. Nice views of the ocean. Close to the Grange Hetty. Really relaxing.

Easter Monday Lunch Great Service excellent food, slight muck up with my lunch, but they were so apologetic and lovely about it. At the end my husband went to pay the bill and they took my meal off, absolutely didn't need to do this, but very kind. We have always enjoyed our meals there, love it great view, great service and great food.

The schnitzels were really good. The table service is quick and attentive. The coffee was great and served with an added bonus of a packet of biscuits. Easy to get a table and the view of the Grange jetty and beach is wonderful. Great service, great location and great food.

Tuesday evening .12 of us for mums 83rd birthday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The service was great and very friendly. I had the special 150 day aged steak which was just brilliant. Possibly the best steak I've had in the last 12 months. Well done guys.

A good spot to see beautiful beach while eating. Staff is friendly and atmosphere is nice. Seaweed scallop cooked perfectly. It's a great place for catching up with family or friends, particularly in summer.

I had a dinner with a friend here without a booking on a Tuesday night and got a brilliant window table with a view of the beach. The service was excellent and friendly and the venue vibe was pretty chilled. Only criticism would be that the pasta special I had was a bit too dry for my liking and didn't have enough flavour.

Probably the worst dining experience I am likely to experience this year.

Attended with 4 others for dinner. The staff were next to useless. Was advised that there was a 15% surcharge due to it being a public holiday .... the surcharge is only to cover extra wages, which on a Sunday public holiday does not apply and therefore the charge should only apply the next day when staff are indeed paid extra.

Waited 20 minutes for a wine and went to ask where it was only to be told it was on the way and they "were very busy" as the manager stood and filled water bottles laughing with another employee.

I took the opportunity to raise the public holiday surcharge with the "manager" at this stage and was told it was a public holiday and that's why they were charging the 15% ... I attempted to ask why given the surcharge is to cover additional wages (which there was none) only to have some rude waitress continually interject. I politely told her that I was only interested in speaking to the manager and that it was nothing to do with her which only caused the manager to get his apron in a knot and he promptly told me he was canceling our food order. Not sure why, but needless to say we weren't going to hang around. The wine had come out during this time and was wrong anyway.

Toilets were absolutely disgusting. Dirty, paper towel everywhere, sh*t smeared on bowls and clearly had been there for some time.

The manager clearly couldn't manage. It was not busy, he was just overwhelmed when questioned about the questionable practices of the hotel and should not be running a licenced venue.

We came on a Sunday and arrived at 1pm for lunch for a party of 2 people with a baby at tow. Upon our arrival we were informed that wait times will be longer than usual and expectedly it will be 30-45mins. After an hour of waiting I approached the staff whom said they were expecting longer than usual wait times and it should be not much longer. A further 15mins past and the food hadnt arrived. I spoke to the manager and they checked with the kitchen advising it will be 5 mins. We ordered a steak and a salad. After a further 20mins of waiting, the food did not arrive. There were many tables around us seated after us with their food on their table. We are of ethnic background and felt that if this was not welcomed at this venue then we would have appreciated to be advised so rather than having our family time wasted. After nearly 1hr and 40 mins of waiting, we couldn't wait any longer with our baby so had gone up to the counter, informed of our dissatisfaction to the manager with no empathy and paid for our drinks and left. Ideally this wasn't the experience I wanted especially for a local pub with a great location but unfortunately this venue had left us with a bad experience

My daughter and I attended a Melbourne Cup Lunch. Food was spot on. Service by everyone was always with a friendly smile. Nice and quiet and the view looking out to sea was delightful.
We will be back

Dinner was not the best, had a snitzel that I thought would be bullet proof but unfortunately was shot to death, had the more special version, should of gone the standard every pub version. Way too sweet and rich, my friends agreed with me who had the same, wifey had the $45 sirloin, nice flavour but rather small and not tender. 300 gram if I remember correctly but a quarter was fat. Our friends say it's normally a lot better but I don't think I'll be back. It's a bit of a hit or miss of late anywhere! Probably better off at a dedicated restaurant than any pub from my recent experience.

Booked lunch to celebrate son's birthday. Promptly shown to table together with a great table allocation. Went up to counter to order as per sign but kindly let know that the order will be taken at the table. Young F&B attendant took our order and had to repeat 4 menu options several times for him to understand. When food did come out there was still 1 meal we were waiting for. After some time waiting I asked to check on my meal. We were told that somehow the order was taken wrongly and my meal was missed. They apologised for the error and asked if I'd care for another drink while I wait for my meal. Well, pardon my ignorance but I thought the offer of another drink was complimentary because of their error. To my surprise it ended up on my bill. Rather than cause a scene I paid the bill but suffice to say I wont come back and will be telling my friends likewise.

Great spot for an early evening meal and a drink or two. Menu was good and can recommend the specials. View of the sun setting over the sea was epic. So good we have been again today.

Food was outstanding, easy 5 stars. The dining room was a little loud, lots of hard surfaces for noise to reflect off. Could use some softening up. Visually very nice as well. The staff were excellent.

It started so well. We came for a drink and the view at 4pm on a Friday afternoon, there were only 3 other people in the restaurant, the barmaid was nice and we sat at an empty table with the best window view. Sadly the rude and officious waiter informed us we could not sit there as he'd have to reset the entire table - with its paper tablecloth - so moved us along to a table for two with a limited window view and then reset the table. He will now have to reset this one as well , he's lost me as a customer, and frankly there many much are nicer places to go.

This review in no way reflects the Customer service we received which was really good.
Caught up with friends on Sat night for a meal here, My Mate and I ordered steak (cooked to different preferences) yet they both came out cooked the same and were terrible cuts, a lot of fat and sinew, could barely cut through the meat. When we complained the Manager was very sympathetic and advised the meals would be removed from the bill, he said they have had issues with the meat supplier lately, while I can appreciate his response if the food inst up to standard the chef/business shouldn't be serving it.

3 years ago, I left a negative review for the Grange Hotel, and I can't believe that I would be back again writing another and final NEGATIVE review. Never ignore a review, no matter how negative it is! Potential customers typically read independent reviews from past customers and will base their future dining decisions on this.

My brother-in-law booked a table for 15 people for New Year's Day (public holiday) family luncheon. We waited close to an hour before they served our main - mind you; we needed to remind staff of the wait time. Garlic bread finally came, and we were told our mains were 8 minutes away - which was not the case. We had children at our table - poor kids were starving. Spoke to the venue manager, who was not helpful and didn't apologise for the excessive meal delay. We also noticed other people who came in after we were being served their meals.
People when you ask the waitress if your meal can be modified, i.e. how spicy is the meal? A little advice, if requesting a modification to a meal please ask that same waitress that you will get what you had ordered because they will change the point of discussion to their needs not the needs of the patron.

My sister-in-law asked if the crab fettuccine was overly spicy - the waitress said that she would ask the chef to make a plate up for her, which was too not spicy.
Finally, our meals arrived, which were substandard and overpriced. The fettuccine ended up being spicy. My sister-in-law queried the order with the waitress who told my sister-in-law that she didn't speak to the chef as she knew that the fettuccine isn't spicy at all.

Everything just spiralled from that point on. My mother-in-law ordered grilled fish with chips but was served crumbed fish - speaking the same waitress we were told that they would replace the meal with grilled fish as per my mother-in-law's order. We noticed that they had scraped the crumbs off the original fish. We questioned this, and we were told by the same waitress that the fish was freshly grilled.

It just seemed that each time our intelligence was being questioned.

As we were seeking compensation, the venue manager finally came over to discuss the level of poor service quality of food, the timing of our meals - he offered us 25% discount off the total of our bill. We agreed to accept his offer. Approached the counter to be told that we couldn't pay for our meals separately.
The total amount was $359 - he agreed to take $59 off the total bill. And to top it off, we even paid the 15% surcharge. The overall experience - was horrendous!!! Never, ever will we book a function with the Grange Hotel.

The professionalism of the staff is inadequate.
If you choose to open your establishment on a public holiday, please have more staff on to avoid disappointment. And, of course, when the establishment charges patrons 15% surcharge to have the hotel opened to its patrons, you would expect service levels to be of a better standard.

Food - a small plate of fettuccine (a handful of pasta with three prawns and no crab meat) overly priced.

It is very clear that the owner/owners do not seem to care about patrons' opinions.

The customer is always right - read the reviews and make changes.

A powerful way to make your restaurant shine is to focus on customer service!

I've been in this hotel many times because of the food and the view 5*. The best place to watch the sunset. Beach view. We live around the corner and so lucky to have this place. The service probably not the best, there are times staff are not that friendly not that fast but not too bad can give them 3.5*

Great location and building but sadly the food and service has declined since our last visit. Not a big fan of the menu choices. My partner and I both ordered the very safe option of a schnitzel. His was like a piece of old boot leather, mine was very bland and the kids pizza was very under cooked. Shame the scollops are gone from the menu. Wonu2019t return

Great menu selection. The salads are new, very healthy and delicious. The salads are NOT drown in oil, but dressed with light vinegarette that has a hint of sweetness. The wine selection is vast and has something for everyone. Staff are very friendly, courteous and efficient. Decor is upmarket and elegant.
