I have been many times, I have good experiences and sometimes not so good but have remained loyal, now of late the place and the food has gone seriously downhill. I visited for lunch on Sunday with a friend. We ordered the pie, a meat pie that was $26, it was suppose to come with mash, runny peas and onion rings, so for this reason we both ordered it. We were feeling hungry and on a cold day thought it would be a filling dish- ridiculous plate turned up at the table holding a pie and a smear of mash, under the pie a tiny spoonful of runny peas on the side of the pie and 3 onions rings sitting on the peas, seriously ridiculous, it was looking like a pie - Al cart, why in the world would any person pay $26 each for a meat pie at the Jindalee hotel to receive less peas less potato than you get at a bakery on your pie, at a bakery price maybe at the highest price of $9 to be generous.
The expectation paying $26 each would be a plate of mash, with peas and let's say 6 onion rings with a pie- the pie was absolutely nothing special and definitely not a good gourmet pie. This is absolutely robbery and really embarrassing that the Jindalee hotel expect $26 per person for a pie on their menu and not serve that pie as one would presume. A pie with mash, peas and onion rings on the side that are visible with a magnifying glass.
Trying to make it look fancy so they don't have to give you a reasonable serving is a disgrace. A pie is just a pie and not worth $26 purely because they make it look artsy, using as little sides as possible- so annoyed. The staff are lethargic, no energy and bring drinks to the table without a glass or ice. People are doing it tough and expect to pay a reasonable amount of money for a reasonable serving of food, the staff have no idea how to handle a complaint, the place is a huge disappointment. Good on you Jindalee Hotel! for grabbing $52 for 2 pies on a plate- great effort! I certainly do not recommend spending your hard earned money at the Jindalee hotel.

The response from the manager- was not followed up, I did contact him as his request but he chose to ignore my contact-seems like his response was all for the readers sake to make it look like he cared, great work, Scott! Disgraceful.

Food quality has gone downhill.
From cold, dry, old chips, to unacceptably small meal portions; to overcooked steak; and now this: RAW Dutch carrot. I sent these back, as I could not even get a steak knife through them.
Unacceptable.

We visited for lunch today. Our Filet Mignon and Porterhouse Steaks were delicious! Service was friendly and fast.

Distinctly average food on first visit but much better 2nd time.
First visit: Burger was overcooked and on the dry side. Carbonara was just plain white spaghetti. Pizza was on the overcooked side.
Second visit: Food was much better this time around. Chicken Parmi and Grilled Salmon. No complaints, service was excellent on both occasions.

Had a great dinner! Place was busy and buzzing on a Saturday night, but food was served really quickly! Wished the portion was bigger for the pork belly, but the lamb shank was really well cooked with a large portion!

The Pub looks stylish and cosy inside, there's also outdoor dining outside. The food taste good and heaps of parking space. This place are good for kids as well since they have a playground for little one.

I've been there last night and ordered supreme pizza, parmigiana & pasta, Mexican wrap and RHG super sundae with drinks. All were very very tasty and delicious and my guests loved them.

Friendly staff and good customer service

Highly recommended

Staff are lovely, atmosphere is great. Very family friendly, it was nice to see a lot of families with young kids (where I live it's not often any kids except mine are out to dinner).

Food was average.
Portions were small and not overly great. Pricey for what you get, but in saying that everything else was positive so I was unbothered and would definitely give it another go.

Kids play area is great, not huge but there's enough to keep them occupied. My kids are aged 3, 7 and 8 and the kids area was great for them.

Being outside on a sunny winter's day made lunchtime more attractive.
The food was excellent, and the menu had a great choice.
The service is fantastic, and the dining area is large when you combine inside and out spaces!

We were all very happy with our meals. We booked a table, which I recommend if you have a group. Good variety on the menu. Friendly staff. Only issue was that our meals weren't served at the same time. Some were served 10 minutes earlier. It was very busy, but it would have been better to eat at the same time.

Pretty disappointed with the food and service here. We came on a Tuesday night when it was fairly quiet. I got the rosemary lamb filo and it was COLD and nearly frozen in the middle. I never send me food back but had to because I couldn't eat it and it was $30. The waitress staff didn't seem to care. Our starter plates weren't even cleared so we had to remove them ourselves as the mains came out. So overall, overpriced for what you receive.

We held a wake for my dad here and it was great. You know, relatively (considering the circumstances). The staff were very friendly and helpful and accommodating, even though we all got pretty hammered and emotional. There wasn't enough food for us, but I assume there would have been a good amount for a normal family.

Food
Being just my wife and I, we ordered one starter and two mains. For the starter, we choose the tomato bruschetta flatbread ($14) and for the mains, the lamb chops ($29) and the Moroccan spicy chicken supreme ($25). The tomato bruschetta was a pizza style offering with lashings of fresh tomato, cheese and onion and smothered in a smooth balsamic vinegar. It was a meal. My wife's lamb chops were tasty, well cooked and came with crispy potatoes, beans, a small serve of coleslaw, a little bowl of gravy and a little bowl of mint sauce. My Moroccan spicy chicken was succulent and tender. The cous cous and fig apricot relish were the perfect accompaniment and the whole concoction was covered in a creamy tzatziki sauce. We both enjoyed our meals.

Ambience
We lunched on a busy Sun afternoon in May, and the place was packed, giving it a lively, energetic and fun vibe. We found the inside dining area a tad too hectic for our liking so we decamped to the terrace outside, where tables were decorated with colourful green and white striped tablecloths. That suited us fine and we were quite happy dining there in the warm autumn sunshine. There were a few other occupied tables outside but the acoustics were fine and we were easily able to converse. Even though we were out of the line of sight of the wait staff, there was no compromise on the service.

If you choose to sit inside you'll find a large, airy and comfy space that's been decorated in bright and cheerful colours with high ceilings and large low hanging lamps. There are cute signposts around the place and colourful wall murals just near the toilet and an interesting retro petrol pump. There are carpets throughout the venue, adding that homely and warm touch. It just had a thoroughly happy and cheerful buzz to it with tons of families enjoying a day out.

Cost
Drinks were expensive and we paid 15 pesos for a schooner of ale and a bottle of apple cider. Food costs were a bit more reasonable and it was a nice surprise to discover that long-suffering seniors at least get a 20% discount on menu items. Consequently, we paid 54 for one starter, the aforementioned very generous bruschetta, and two mains, the chicken and the lamb. All up, with three drinks included we paid 75. I guess a year or two ago this would have been 50. So thanks to the idiots who run the Reserve Bank for destroying the purchasing power of our money.

Toilets
There are ample clean and well provisioned toilets just behind the main indoor dining areas, and you can enjoy the interesting murals and retro petrol pump that I mentioned, on your way in and out.

Service
Service was polite and friendly. Wait staff are neatly dressed and professional in their attitude. We had booked directly through the hotel's website and our table was ready for us when we arrived. Of course, there are different ways to order, either directly at the bar, or using the Aust Venue Company app. I used the app then went up to the front bar counter to pay, but it took ages to finalise the transaction. Staff seemed unsure how to handle the seniors discount, rewards points and payments. To my annoyance, they wouldn't accept cash. But apart from that, it all flowed smoothly and after eventually sorting and paying, food came out quickly and in the correct order.

Summary
We had a pleasant lunch here on the terrace outside enjoying the warm and balmy Brisbane autumn weather. Food was nicely prepared, portion sizes were generous and the service was friendly and efficient (apart from aforementioned issues with app ordering and rewards redemption). It had a bright, happy and fun ambience. Add to that easy parking right outside and ample clean and well provisioned toilets and you have all the ingredients for a perfect afternoon or evening out with friends or family.

Memo
Just for the record, the official name of this restaurant is "Roadhouse Grill", even though in it's in the Jindalee Hotel. And to add to the confusion, RHG seems to be a brand name, with six hotels sharing it, I presume, all under the umbrella of the Australian Venue Company.

Great atmosphere. Good food. They need better system on delivering the food.

Having eaten at the hotel before, I was expecting a little more from the experience I had this week for lunch. In short, the seafood BBQ seemed excessively priced for what appeared on my plate...a smallish piece of barramundi, though tasty, and just two prawns and four or five thin slivers of calamari. The chips, however, were plentiful, filled up the plate and were hot. Poor value, I'm sorry to say.

Good food, very quick service and family friendly as well. They have a good kids area with games and a playground so the adults can have a rest. Definitely the best local pub for a family dinner.

Had dinner in the restaurant and ordered my meal through Mr Yum. No complaints on the food, it was delicious. However my dessert was not delivered until I had to get up and ask about it. If you are offering a service that allows diners order straight from their table without the hassle of having to get up, then it seems pointless that they have to get up and follow up on their orders.
Also, no apology was made from the person delivering the dessert

This is a perfect venue for a casual afternoon drink, a delicious evening meal or a large function. The staff are all friendly and very professional. I believe they serve THE BEST TASTING CHIPS IN BRISBANE! The meals have very generous serving sizes and every time I eat here, I experience a TASTE SENSATION when I get my meal. An all round great place to go!
