Ordered S&P Squid as a main. It came with nothing but some yellowish lettuce or maybe wombok cabbage (hard to tell) and a small soy sauce. Looked bloody awful. Squid itself was fine, but really?? Soft drinks were flat also. Won't be back anytime soon.

My brother and I organized a 20+ family get together at this hotel recently. The manger was so rude to us when we asked why we had to pay $14 to exchange chips for mash potatoe for our near 90yr old mum who cannot eat chips. No empathy or understanding was shown to us, his customers. He then went on to tell us that if we don't want to pay the extra charge we should eat elsewhere (which we would have done except family members had already sat down and had drinks etc). We were in shock as we had never experienced such aggressive behavior towards customers in all the 50 plus years of living in the area. Both my brother and I run companies and we would never treat a customer like the manager at this hotel spoke to us. Obviously we won't be organising family get togethers at this hotel again.

Wednesday night is trivia night and had $15 schnitzel special. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Great meal, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff

My family love coming here & eat here often, so when I visit we usually dine in.
The BEST garlic prawns & rice I've ever had, such a generous serving!
Barramundi penne pasta special was also delicious & something I've never tried before.
Great meals, talented chefs, good prices, always love eating here.

We ordered the Thursday special Ribs & Wings, it was very dry, like it was cooked a couple of days ago.
The squid was beautiful and soft, but there was no salt and pepper at all.
However, the ladies at the bar had great personality and service. Well done to you. Went back for another drink today ?

Nice place, friendly service, great drinks!

Good food and great service at the railway. Kids play area outside so the little ones can be as noisy as they like!

Amazing... good. Only problem is they do not offer much gluten and dairy free if you have such restrictions...

Got a table for Fathers Day. Food was amazing, kids entertainment on point and lovely atmosphere as always. Our son loved the face painting.

I have had some great experiences at the Railway and did rate it as a 4. Unfortunately they have changed the menu and getting a basic burger is no longer possible. Beer was cold although a little inconsistent- could have been near the end of the keg. Still a good pub

There were issues with parts of all of our meals. We ordered garlic bread that came after we had finished our mains, the pork belly bites were dry and stringy, the sausages were shrivelled, the curry was oily and sloppy and the lasagna tasted overwhelmingly of a single herb with no béchamel or red sauce in sight, just oily mince. The waitress was friendly which is the only redeeming quality of this meal. It's Whitebull prices at Kilda quality.

Standard pub, nice steak sandwich and a small playground for kids.

So disappointing that the food in this pub has dropped so much quality. It used to be good; now it is very average and expensive to boot. Not recommend

Good food, good service, lovely surroundings.

Love this pub, staff and management always friendly and obliging.

Great pub... good food

Just changed menu with very limited Gluten Free options.....steak or grilled fish only....Pretty average these days tbh.

I visit Armidale from Sydney fairly regularly, and have been the the railway hotel a couple of times and always enjoy each visit, the food is great, a little play area for the kids, and the staff (most of them) are quite friendly.

Fantastic little Pub with a great restaurant, good atmosphere, good company and the beer is cold

Overall good, big dishes, fair price, a bit of long waiting when busy but was ok

Good food. Great service

Its got a beautiful new restaurant n bottle shop with drive thru

Good pub meals and family friendly. The outdoor tables with individual booths are a bonus and a lovely place to meet with friends in summer. Also a play area for kids nearby so parents can relax. The service is good and it is overall a great spot for birthday dinners etc.

This establishment is inconsistent. When busy it is extremely cramped, the food is terrible (over or undercooked meat and slapped together meals), and cleanliness is out the door. When it is a slow to mid-regular night the food is incredible (cooked to perfection and prepared thoughtfully), staff are friendly, the place is spick and span clean (aside from the carpets) and it is heavily enjoyable. Their take away service is fairly good, but it also depends on what you order. It's a great place to walk into without much thought occasionally, but my family personally will not be making it a regular place to eat.

Great meal. Huge menu and Friendly staff. Amazing kids area also.

So we say our goodbuys to my nan today & have her funeral. My family & i decide to sit out side in the park area. The licencee then starts getting abbusive because i miss understood him. I try to talk to him & let him know i just wanted to appologise because i thought my husband & 3 kids were included in the head count. I asked him if he could calm down so i could let him know i was sorry & misunderstood what he meant by the numbers but he kicks me out! Now im alone outside in the streets. Id had no drinks & completely sober! So alone right now

Great place. Great food. Really good covid-19 procedures. Feel safe here. Don't forget to book if you want a sit down meal

Best pub lamb cutlets I've had. Cooked to a juicy rareness. Pepper beef steak pie was also excellent. Heaps of flavour, lots of meat, great pastry. Rating is just for the food.
