Delicious food (schnitzel all fungi will be hard to beat). Great friendly service. Fantastic to be able to try some local wines.

Sensational happy hour.. half price all beers n wines from locally sourced vineyards. Sumptuous menu cooked impeccably. Knowledgeable and super friendly staff make this place a must

Beautifully renovated high-taste, calming restaurant setting. The staff are attentive and friendly. The food is high quality and flavourful - I've been for lunch and dinner and enjoyed both. Good plant-based options - a few more that could be veganised would be great. Impressively local wine list. We will go back!

HIdden Gem with Great Atmosphere
Walking out of sinkholes looking for a feed, we found a nice little "pub" on Google.

Didn't expect to walk into a dining area that look so nice, wall side Bench can use some cushion but overall a very warm and welcoming environment

Servers are welcoming and not pushy, only show up when you have finally decided what to order from their slightly simple menu.

Me and my wife order 2 entrees, 1 Main and 1 side and its a good portion for 2 hungry tourist driving 6 hours from Adelaide.

Shallot tart is sweet and caramelized with sour cream and mustard. Tart is slightly overdone but it's probably we are sharing and find it a bit hard to cut it open

Beef Carpaccio is a little letdown. Rockets leave do pair well with raw beef, but I feel like there can be more citrus in the dish, a salted eggyolk is a good pair but not enough to cover the whole fish, portion is generous though.

Lamb Rump is somewhat a mixed emotion, the rump is executed greatly with medium rare but it's underseasoned. Artisan carrots is bit overdone at the end so it's bit crispy and seems heavy on salt. The purree underneath is underseasoned and doesn't pair very well with the lamb. wife end up dipping the lamb in the aioli that comes with the chips to finish them.

As we kinda lost hope, there is a glimpse of silver lining that is the Thick chips, crispy on the outside with herbs and salt seasoned well, extremely fluffy on the inside and paired with Aioli it's a good compensation to the other slightly disappointed dish.

There are definitely some adjustments needed in the menu to make this a great pub diner. Considering the price of this rural town diner is not exactly cheap compared to a more metro area pub, I hope this is not one of those one time diner for tourists and are looking to improve. For the service and environment they definitely deserve a retrial, will visit again the next time we visit Mount Gambier.

Not your traditional pub food. Instead you get a small well thought menu with delicious flavours. Probably one of the best meals I've had in a Pub

Love that the South Aussie re-opened and has brought the high-quality food you'd expect in Melbourne to Mount Gambier. Brilliant food, super smooth imported Japanese beer on tap (not the Australian made under the same brand which tastes like a bad VB) and the loveliest staff. Already eaten her twice and will be back without fail. Highly recommend.

The surprise is inside! Decor = gorgeous
Staff = friendly
Food = AMAZING!!!
Not your traditional pub fare and it's bloody awesome!

Our first time back since the South Australian Hotel reopened and we were both very impressed.
The interior looks absolutely fantastic, so fresh and a great vibe.
The service was fabulous, really friendly and beyond helpful.
We ordered 4 "smaller plates" to share between 2 adults for lunch, we couldn't quite finish them all.
Pictured are the following smaller plates.
Fried Haloumi with triple cooked potatoes, Wagyu Brisket Spring Rolls, Baby Cuttlefish with roast potatoes and choriso, and Crumbed Prawn and Abalone Albondigas. Every single thing we ate was absolutely beautiful.
Highly recommended to come and try, don't expect the boring old pub meals your use to, this place is for people who enjoy new and exciting food.
Thanks for a great experience!

We had looked up google maps to choose somewhere for dinner. We could see the menu posted and thought it looked good with something for both of us. When we got there we could see the menu was very different. I ordered the steak and was rather disappointed that it didn't come with any salad or vegetables and that it was covered in salt. I couldn't eat the chips either as they were also covered in salt. The wine was nice 😊

Real Australian pub with epic food! Best value for money meal we have had on our travels around Australia! So glad we picked this pub to go to for dinner! Highly recommend!

We had very nice meals. I had the ribs and wife had the roast dinner. Very generous serves and tasty meals. Good value and friendly staff.

Lovely pub. Very friendly staff with quick service. I was a bit disappointed that they had run out of steak when we went there on a weekday lunchtime. Otherwise it was a great experience with good food.

Great food cannot fault it. Big servings. Great hospitality.

Absolutely beautiful steak. Cooked to perfection. Lovely onion rings. Rich gravy. Will be dining in again.

Great value for money counter meal, quality & quantity. Punters paradise, live stream racing from all the far corners of the earth.

Came here for dinner tonight with my partner our meals were so nice. Top job chief! ?

Dined last 07/04 and it was their steak night. We requested for our steaks to be cooked medium. My scotch fillet was well done and a dry. My husband's porterhouse was pink but the texture was grainy and very hard to chew. I think they need to step up by using a better quality of beef. It's a shame because both steaks were seasoned very well and their sauces were amazing! Their staff are very friendly though. And I love how they hanged some oold photographs that tell about the history in Mt. Gambier.

Great no fuss pub. Meals were typical good Aussie pub food. Service was quick. Would go there again

Had our daughters 21st tea & party in the back bar & deck. Meals came out in a timely manner & were most enjoyable. Great venue would recommend to anyone celebrating an event.

What an amazing 2 for one schnitzel meal!
Very generous toppings.
We had Hawaiian and Aussie schnitzels and they tasted as good as they looked!
If you can actually eat it all, you must have been VERY hungry! (they did a doggy bag for us)
Delicious!

There was an error with our order, we were out celebrating my mothers 50th with my grandfather and hid meal was not great, human error. He was too tired to wait for another meal. Well, the staff were incredible, they rushed the replacement meal, were incredibly patient and understanding, lovely with my grandfather, just generally nice to be around. nnIf you visit I reccomend the loaded wedges, yummy!

Service was nice and friendly, but couldn't make up for the atrocious food.nnFish&Chips : chips were dried as, could tell they were old chips that had been re-cookednnNachos: stale corn chips and mostly burnt. The meat was nice howevernnHokkien Noodle: 3 bites was enough to put the dish on the side. It's like it had been drowned in sweet&sour sauce.nnKids menu: bolognese pasta, bland, no flavour. Didn't get eaten in the end.

Service was good ... And food is your average pub hotel offering. Good selection of beers on tap

12 of us turned up without a booking 7 30 pm- Travelling from interstate. We found the waiteressu2019s to be exceptionally accommodating to our needs as we rearranged tables to fit us all in. They were very friendly. We all liked our food and the prices were good. The manager and his wife were lovelly- We HIGHLY recommend this hotel- K n D Jackson

Great little bistro. Highly recommended. Yummy salad bar and large delicious meals.
