I'm honestly in shock. After years of enjoying amazing food here, today's experience was nothing short of a disaster! I can't believe we spent $130 on what was easily the worst lunch I've had in years.

The steak, which was supposed to be medium-rare, came out closer to medium-well - an absolute travesty! And the wings? Boiled and soggy instead of grilled and crispy! It seems there's a new chef in the kitchen, and they either need serious retraining or to be shown the door.

$59 for a tiny steak paid extra for extra sauce that didn't come. Salad was just leaves and steak was so small. Best part was it was ordered around 12 midday and arrived at 2pm. TWO HOURS!! Bowl of chips came around an hour so everyone was starving and ate those hours before the meals. Ordered cheese garlic bread 1.5 hours into the wait and that came in 10mins. It was so hot on terrace. Only good part was the service at the bar. Ladies were nice. Only good part. Vegetarian options were dismal. Not running back there.

Recently went to the parkwood tavern, was in a merry mood until the waitress who was a young Asian girl - kuko or Koko - that works there came over to give us our food. We ordered 2 pizzas and Wings. She gave us no cutlery no share plates and when I asked what will I do with 1 napkin and 10 wings she got an instant attitude and walked off taking her time making comments to her other staff members because of the sarcastic remark I made about the napkins. Now in any circumstance at any restaurant, never do you serve wings or pizza without and plates or cutlery in general.

I also had to walk over and get the napkins myself as she was being a right rude girl and ignoring our request.

To help with this review here is a photo of what the table looked like due to the poor service and poor staff skills.

There is my bone plate made out of a napkin.

The meals are big! We got two huge plates of these wings as the starter for $20, they were so good.

We also got steak and chicken schnitzel mains which were also good.

Had dinner with my family on a Sunday night a few weeks ago and enjoyed it!
We opted to sit inside..having the pool tables close by probably not the best idea with a toddler who wants to touch and play with everything 😂but it was a good distraction waiting for our food.

The service was reasonably fast, we ordered three meals (Chicken Schnitty a kids meal and the Margherita Pizza) plus some drinks. I liked the little booth area and I enjoyed my snitty. Probably one of the best ones out there since the salad is actually edible not just placed on there to fill space like some places do.

Kids enjoyed their food and the price point is better than most taverns I've been to. Kids meal is cheaper than some I've seen.

The atmosphere is pretty lively with all the sports TVs around showing footy games etc so it def give a sports bar vibe. A good casual spot to have drinks and a bite to eat, I would come back for sure.

Quite a poor experience - besides the fact that I've had issues ordering off the app which doesn't happen as often as other ALH owned taverns, you then have to line up in the bar area to order (unlike other taverns where they have separate tills serving drinks vs food in order to speed things along), and the fact you have people asking to register their car number plates as per their new requirements just to be able to park on site, slows things down even more.

Simply ordered 2 dishes, Graziers Rump 250g, and a Chicken Parmi. No mention of the long wait ahead to get our food as apparently there was a function with 80ppl despite the tavern being quite dead inside/outside.

About 20min waiting went by and, nothing, so my wife goes up and asks at the bar, and gets informed shouldn't be much too longer as there's a function, another 20min elapses and I go up this time only for the food to be finally served with just a stale apology.

As per the attached photo, the steak looked burnt and more than well done vs the original medium rare I asked for & the vegetables were dry.

If we weren't that hungry and had more time I would've asked for a refund but it would be appreciated if you could tell people when they're ordering that there might be a long wait ahead as I'm sure like us, a percentage of their clientele come from needing to be at the hospital across the road.

Last time we ever visit here - will gladly stick to Coomera or Oxenford Tavern from now on.

Loved out meals. So delicious. Understaffed and the manager seemed to be off with the fairies. Played keno and had to constantly ask for the draw tickets for the prize contest they have going on as all 3 staff that served us on our visit kept forgetting to hand them out. The atmosphere of this place is much better and the renovations are really nice.
Beer was cold. Food was delicious and hot.
Lamb kofas for entre was so good I could lick the plate. The pokie room is in a completely different separate section which was strange and seemed out of place. We will return and see if the service improves.

I recently visited Parkwood Tavern, and it was a great experience! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. I had the steak sandwich with chips, and it was cooked to perfection. The portion size was generous, and the price was reasonable. The atmosphere was lively and fun, with lots of TVs for sports fans. Overall, I highly recommend Parkwood Tavern for a great meal and good times with friends.

Actually really good. Manager Ben was awesome & very professional as well as the bar staff & the servers. The food was delicious apart from the chicken schnitzel. The buffalo wings was the best equal with the steak. SO TASTY. General atmosphere was very very good. We'll be visiting again soon.

Renovated tavern with good quality service and bar staff. Food prices are excellent for a nice quick lunch. Food took a while to be prepared and delivered to our table. The food can be much improved especially the cheeseburger. The bun was old and the meat was burnt and unseasoned. The lettuce was not fresh and wilted. The cheese was good. Other dishes like the Buddha Bowl and Tofu Salad were good and acceptable for a pub that is looking to improve their offering. I recommend the Tavern for a nice cold beer and cheap food

NOT GOOD when you buy $80 worth of takeaway steak meals and they cant give you a simple takeaway knife fork and serviette. Any small takeaway shop (or pub) gives you that courtesy. Silly management. (I tried to use a couple of sticks but couldn't cut the steak.)

Ordered Cesar Salad, would be the worst Cesar ever. No sauce very little lettuce, bacon in one piece and stale bread. Atmosphere good, staff friendly.

Dynamic venue featuring interesting decor, extensive menu, long list of beverage choices, in a welcoming modern atmosphere. Huge tv screens, coffee bar, poker machines, function rooms, bottle barn, and large indoor and outdoor dining areas. Great service, beautifully presented food, and don't forget the dessert window.

Lovely atmosphere. Typical pub meal slightly above average and decent price. The dessert took almost an hour to come out and that was only after we asked. Thanks to Ricky who was helpful and efficient to get it to us as soon as we approached him. Unfortunately the dessert was a bit of a downer and not worth the wait.

The wait and the dessert is why this gets 3 stars..
Goods and Bad but was an ok experience

A terrible dining experience sadly after attending a friends birthday celebration lunch on Sunday.
Apart from the obviously clear staff shortage, even the recent refurbishments (which are pretty fabulous I might add) couldn't detract from the fact there was no direction with where to go to order food. As a result people were milling about all the bar and entrance area.

With a 40 min wait for mains (not a problem for a busy Sunday lunch trade), I ordered some bread and dips to start. They were basic enough and filled the spot - in hindsight, very glad I ordered this!
When the main arrived (chicken burger), I was excited to eat and hungry. Presentation looked good enough for a pub feed...
Upon the first bite I was hit by an extremely strong "fishy" taste and smell. I asked my friend if she could taste it "tastes like anchovies" I said. Upon her taking a bite, she screwed her face up, passed it back to me and agreed.
I can only assume the oil hadn't been changed and was used to cook all the proteins in the deep fryer.
The chips were undercooked and had no salt/flavour at all.
Inedible meal.

Visited the newly renovated Parkwood Tavern. It looks great. The service was great. We went for a birthday lunch with 9 people. We had a lovely person service by the name Stephanie she was very helpful as was all the other staff at served us. Nothing was too much to ask them for. The food was lovely and was quick to come out. Would love to come back and eat there again

Don't be fooled by the old and outdated look and feel. The food is a winner. The calamari was soft, fresh and cooked to perfection. For $10 the sweet potato wedges were HUGE.

I went here with my parents and partner. Food was absolutely lovely. Dane was an excellent waiter who brightened everyone's mood, carried himself with confidence. Also to the lovely Summer. You where an amazing Bar staff. I asked for your name just to give you this compliment. You both deserve a raise. I'll definitely be here again.

Naturally couldn't resist the invitation to post a more favourable review after considering management earlier response. Dropped by for a pint and a quick bite to eat on Sunday. Food tasty, beers cheap, staff not rude and pumped music not terrible.
1 of the managers told me to never come back but thought I'd take the risk. ..3 stars and evening the score!!

Great place to go! All round the staff are very friendly but Angel in particular is always beyond amazing every time I'm in! She's very helpful and always makes sure my friends and I are enjoying our time at the Tavern! Worth the 5 stars!

Thanks for all your efforts, the team here is amazing and always cater to our needs. Caitlin it's sad to watch you go and thanks for always going above and beyond, we wish you all the best and the tavern won't be the same without you! 5 stars all the way.

Meals at the Parkwood are awesome. Portion size is always generous and great value for money! Staff are always cheerful and helpful. Well done and many thanks.

Good ambience and nice staff, great play area to keep kids entertained near the outdoor dining area. Serving size for meals could be a lot better. Brownie was so hard we found it hard to chew.

Girl are absolutely lovely! Fast services! Great family place to come! Caitlin and Brie are amazing team members. Always service with a smile!

We brought our 3 young children here for lunch and they had a great time in the playground!
The food is a good price and serving sizes are very generous!
We will definitely be back

Had a "gathering" with my staff before the Christmas break.8 different food orders. All came out on time. All perfectly cooked.Lovely airy spaces with a playground for the kids.Friendly staff. Good food to choose from on the menu. Reasonably priced. Recommended

Very great pub! Good atmosphere! Plenty of tables and games for the family. Good food. Will definitely visit again.

Went there for lunch with my bestfriend and my niece and it was absolutely great. We sat outside it was lovely and spacious, the food was to die for. We got nachos, garlic bread and wedges they were so good. The wait time for our food wasn't long at all and the staff were friendly and polite. Hats off to the Chief. The 3 of us really enjoyed our time there.

Very covid safe. Cold beers.

Great place to drink and chicken burgers are the bomb thanks for a great day we will definitely be back

Polite & Friendly...
That's all it takes,
That's all I Expect...
Yet occasionally, very Hard to find..

What an experience !!!!!!!Took the family there today and the staff were absolutely fantastic. Manager Robbie was outstanding and all the staff looked and worked very professionally and were willing to help with anything. Food don't get me started we had the share platter for 2 and it was absolutely outstanding 5 star. Great work Parkwood we will definitely be seeing you again really soon.
