Located on the outside of Knox shopping centre, the Knox tavern has all the usual amenities - a sport's bar, dining area, pokies etc. Food is ok and they have discount menu for seniors.

A very unpleasant experience for our family birthday dinner last night. It started with extremely long wait times and only got worse after our valid requests and appropriate feedback, then even worse as we left with our birthday cake deciding to celebrate elsewhere .. a much better vibe. So called 'management' behaved very poorly, lacked maturity, respect, manners and any customer service skills .. in fact she was unbelievably rude. Despite that, I took the time to personally thank the two staff members who were outstanding - the young male bartender and the security staff member. I also waited patiently to personally hand back my membership card to 'management', we certainly won't be needing it any longer.

Dined for dinner before watching a movie at nearby cinema. I had the oven baked barramundi fillet with citrus cream sauce, panko crumbed prawns, salad & chips. It was tasty & I was happy to see the sauce was served on the side. Hubby had a chicken parma & enjoyed that also. Service friendly. Will return to try other menu items & their cocktails.

Came here for dinner and was severely disappointed with the choice. I had what was described as a Chicken Scallopine was not Chicken scallopine. It was a small piece of grilled chicken breast with slice of bacon on top and normal brown gravy and 2 tiny mushrooms. I have had many Chicken Scallopines in my time and none of them are like this. The mash potato that came with it was bland. The chicken parma was also bland and tasteless albeit being quite a decent size. I doubt I would dare to come back in a real hurry. Other that that service was friendly.

Food is average and felt short changed for a tavern meal. I should have read the reviews before going. I had the roast of the day. Would be lucky if there was 100g of lamb on my plate. Vegetables were bland.
Service was annoying with staff constantly trying to clear the table before we were finished. Just leave customers alone to have their meal.

Great local pub but does not have a schnitzel in sports bar any more. We normally go to this pub once a month but this time we were charged $20 to exit Knox complex after spending time there havng a meal and playing the pokies. So we wont be going back to this pub again!

Food was ok. Management needs to consider why they need to charge $2 for extra tarter sauce when the Fish and Chips are $26 already. Staff were pleasant.

I had the seafood selection and I liked it. Good range of choices on the menu. If you book ahead they can set the table accordingly for your group size. We had a long table for 8 people. Convenient parking right next to the tavern or the multi level carpark nearby. 3 hours free parking. If you install the Westfield app you can get an extra hour.

Stopped in for a random lunch which was set up and delivered by charming, helpful, staff. We were not overly hungry so we ordered off the starters menu - huge tasty dim sims, prawns in a shell beautifully cooked with a great sauce and a ton of wedges to fill the gaps.
A nice, unplanned, visit - we would go again:)

Came for dinner and the food was practically inedible. We were given greasy and soggy calamari, cold chips, and raw pizza dough. Despite this, the servers were great and the atmosphere was nice. However we definitely won't be coming again.

I've had ordered Roast chicken
A grey half a chicken with grey cold potatoes
Cut into to chicken raw blood coming out
They replaced it with Caesar salad again croutons were wet and soggy. chicken tenders over cooked.
three items (we a party of 15 ) were not available
The excuse was we are getting a new menu hopefully new menu will be better

We have been coming to the Bistro at Knox Tavern for a while now for lunch - it's a great place for good food, great atmosphere and fantastic staff.

We bring our elderly Aunt once a month for lunch and, being in a wheelchair, they are very accommodating with seating.

Very highly recommend Knox Tavern for casual dining or even for birthday's and special events.

Thanks Knox Tavern Team for all your great work for your customers.

Ordered a medium rare rump steak and got an almost well done steak. Wasn't a very good cut either. One of the worst steaks I've ever had. Will not go back there again. Two stars for fresh side salad and chips.

Booked a table for dinner here with my son after going to Knox Timezone. I booked here after seeing on their website there was a Playspace. We turned up in the pouring rain, only to find out the play equipment was all outside!
We ended up going elsewhere for dinner.
Just an FYI for other families, don't bother if the weather isn't ideal

So, food was amazing, most of the service was good apart from the one bartender fella with glasses that worked tonight who's star sign is a Pisces! He was very rude, very unapproachable and not easy to speak to. Quite literally, everyone else was much nicer and approachable, the other bartender, the security guard are all kind however he was very much the one that brought down the atmosphere with his sour persona. Disappointing with him on your team but everyone else fantastic.

A seniors must-go.
Service (Paige) was excellent, menu was pleasantly simple and a sensible range of choices. The food quality, presentation, prices and portions were spot on and the wait time was negligible.
Will definitely go again soon. Thank you.

The food was nice we all enjoyed it, except the nugget meat was the cheapest chicken flavoured bleached pink slime, I was uncomfortable feeding it to my kids so please improve on the quality of that. The desserts weren't comparable sizes so the chocolate pudding was tiny and not worth the price tag. The amenities are good and there is good entertainment for the kids, but the playground is wet inside, needs to be sealed from the rain.

Chicken nugget quality - 1/5: May contain traces of chicken.

Folks, (I am referring to Knox Tavern staff), I ordered our meals and drinks in the one go and all seemed wonderful - as it has been in the past - mostly.

However this time around at our weekly twin brother 'bro night', I ordered (as is the case every time at every establishment) a Scotch and Dry with a slice of lime for my brother.

When the lady poured the drink it looked a little suss, but okay, off I trot to present it to bro, for him to take a sip and advise there's no way it was what was ordered. "I've never had a Scotch and Dry that either looked this colour (very hazy - like a brown fog) or tasted like this. It's undrinkable!"

Okay, I trot back to the lady who poured the drink asking whether she used dry ginger, was the Scotch okay etc. To which she replied - yep, it was perfect.

Back to the table and my brother took another sip and said he simply couldn't drink it. The taste was really bad.

So once again I took it back to the lady advising that it was undrinkable. I didn't ask for a replacement, a refund, nothing, rather I left it for her to come back with a response (note that my brother took 2 very small sips, hence it was still almost full), and she did respond with "Okay". And walked off. That was the end of the conversation. I left the drink on the bar and was not approached whatsoever after this.

Sorry, but this simply isn't good enough.

Please note that of the roughly 500 'Bro' nights at which my brother always orders a Scotch and dry, we've never even had to think about taking his Scotch back to the bar!

Good service and delicious food served here.
We came here for dinner as a group of 7 and ordered chicken risotto, fish and chips, grilled barramundi, chicken caesar salad, creamy ravioli and for desserts, we had the sticky date puddings. Every dish was good. Would definitely be back.

Starting with the positives about this place, it has great ambience, food portions are very generous in line with the price, service was great.

With a party of 7 we ordered a wide range of foods, steak, honey mustard chicken and wings. The steak was almost well done when requested to be rare, and overall to pay $37 for a steak of that quality and size was seriously ridiculous, the wings were underwhelming aswell. Also due to policy you cannot take away leftovers.

Only thing I was truly impressed with was the Parma size and taste!

I had the seniors calamari and it was the best I've eaten in a long time.

Service was good and the place had a nice feel about it.

An enjoyable outing with my friends. Will go again.

Large group, they gave my garlic bread to someone else on my table and when I asked about it, they said I know you ordered one, but we have brought all 3 out and then wouldnt bring me mine....food average, plenty of better food options at Knox. Well priced though

Food was delicious, drinks were awesome.. unfortunately had to wait quite a while for dinner to be served but given that it's a Friday night I guess that's to be expected anyway. Overall though, fantastic service. Would recommend to friends and family :)

Very close to home and they still have the coin option available, most other venues have the ticket way to cash in your money. Still a good place to go to has a great place to watch sport, like sitting in your lounge area with comfortable seating and large outdoor seating areas.
