Customer Review

We had the chicken schnitzel which was plump, juicy and a light gold crumb, a good jug of gravy and fresh salad. The seafood duo was excellent as well with 8 jumbo plump crumbed prawns and a big serving of lightly crumbed and fried calamari. Both meals were the best we have had at a pub yet. Well worth a visit.

Fairly straight forward pub doing fairly forward pub food. They were fairly busy the Saturday night we went there, so to some degree can understand that the whole table of 5 didn't get all meals together at the same time. Mushroom burger was a tad disappointing, no seasoning or marinating of the mushroom so it was pretty dry.

Large vehicle friendly carpark, you walk directly into the dining room from the car park which is convenient. The building seems to be a cross between a shed and a factory which gives it an industrial feel and appeal.
Colours inside are relaxing with soft and darker greys with a contrasting heritage red domed barn style roof. Photo frames on the walls from bygone eras are simple yet break up the boring of the long walls. Pleasant atmosphere, reasonably busy yet not too loud.
Exceptional food quality, a real chicken schnitzel cooked to perfection, crispy chips and a great salad to compliment the meal. Helpful and friendly staff also motivated.
Good dining experience
Pleasant experience, brilliant beef schnitzel with a latte and the restrooms have fluorescent lights also no windows.
Also Puzzle Park was closed seventeen years ago due to insurance costs also located near the M1 South Eastern Freeway.
Puzzle Park formerly existed until 2007 and was located near the venue also a future development site. Also this defunct amusement park was opened to the public since 1985 and it would have been enjoyed by visitors from far and wide also it lasted for 22 years.
Plus this establishment includes two pool tables and arcade games in the gaming section.

For someone who travels a lot for work, i visit a lot of establishments in different states, and I don't really feel the need to leave a review because there's nothing really worth mentioning outside of your normal expectations. But this place have some of the best staff and best vibes I've come across. Special mentions to Sophie, Jeff, and the Manager for going above and beyond to make our experience such a memorable moment.

This hotel has really nice food. They have steak night Tuesdays, $22 for Scotch Fillet or Sirloin, cooked to your liking, and it comes with chips in a cute little basket. The staff are lovely, and they are happy to accommodate special requests

Evening meal with friends, quite a noisy environment, meals were bit slow to be brought out - likely, as everywhere, short staffed due to no one wants to work in these services now. We all felt our meals were very good, hi quality.
Staff were doing their best on a busy evening.
They should look at the ways of reducing the noisy environment - it's not rocket science to make a big improvement.
Good evening considering how busy they were!

Met my two son's here for lunch and a catch up.
Kodi and Joel ordered the chicken snitzel
Vanessa ordered wedges and I got the seafood Platter.
Sorry no photos of the meals because I only thought about a review after we'd eaten. πŸ˜…
All of us enjoyed our meals.
I was impressed with the waitress because she made sure we were all happy with our meals just after we started eating πŸ˜‹
Very clean and tidy premises
Great amenities

Love this place! The air conditioning was amazing, food was amazing and so was the service. The music was really loud so I just asked for them to turn it down and they did. Amazing place!! But dietary options aren't very good. Not a good place for vegetarians or people on a diet. If you looking for healthy food this isn't the place.

Service is extremely poor. Had a group booking. We were hoping to eat together, and there were big gaps between every couple of meals. Last lot of meals, we had to ask where they were. Setting/ Dinning area was tired and not a happy environment. Could do with some decorating. Wouldn't go back there.

Food was ok, plates were huge, but service was poor, when they have a wine list and don't have wines that were out of stock and overall over priced for what you got! Felt dirty on me.
Not a good experience, only a couple of staff on, plates weren't collected. DIY.

Cool Pub. Great Sweet Chilli Cheese Bread. Each time I went to the bar, didn't get served for a couple minutes. And it's not busy. Staff are cool, they've just got a U shaped bar and a pokies area to run. For this reason, I'm off to the next pub for lunch.

Ordered and paid for three meals.

Two of the three were delivered. Waitress followed it up with the kitchen.

Twenty minutes later I queried again and was told it was being prepared right now.

Twenty Five minutes later I asked for it to be put into a takeaway pack. The staff member came back 5 minutes later and said the order wasn't even in the kitchen but he would sort it.

Twenty minutes later got a takeaway pack.

Mistakes happen, which is acceptable for the first instance. Needing to follow it up another three times before it was cooked is not acceptable.

Food was great, steak was cooked to perfection, and the staff were very friendly but the dining room could use a bit of modernising and nicer decor, it was pretty plain and felt like I was dining in a large community hall. We came here with quite a large group to celebrate a birthday and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals.

The place lacks ambience, we were a group of 7 adults for lunch and we were the only people there at that time but there were a number of 2s and 3 people tables who came in after us. The lovely lady at the order counter was very polite, happy to assist us and Escorted us to a table. Our orders took 20-25mins and the meals were average the very small bowl of salad existed of plenty of wilted lettuce, 1 half a slice cucumber, 1 small cherry tomato, 2 slices of extremely thin onion and no dressing. Was very disappointing for the price. We might give it a try if we're up that way again but if no improvement we won't go back again. Disappointing as we were from Christine's Beach and were hoping to show our support to our country towns people. Good luck! πŸ˜ŠπŸŒΉπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ¦˜

We went this past Saturday at lunch time when passing through.
I ordered a southern fried chicken burger, which comes with chips $24.90 Hubby ordered the beef parmi (another story 🫣) I did cut my burger in half to make it easier to eat - which may have been a mistake as it just fell apart while trying to eat it. I liked the taste, it was just messy to eat. I didn't mind the chips but could have been cooked a little longer (each to their own on that one)
I don't think the table next to us was happy with the quality of what they ordered.
I didn't see much outdoor seating, except an extra long table under some umbrellas. They were busy while we were there. I don't think we will return for a meal, anytime soon.

Have been here a few times and normally a nice place to go, but last night was not good. Music was too loud, so it was hard to have a conversation. The meals were overcooked. I had the oven baked chicken breast but couldn't eat it because it was so dry. Schnitzels were overcooked. The seafood trio was overcooked and dry. Very disappointing 😞

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant today for lunch and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the meal. We decided to try the Seafood Trio and were delighted to find that it was cooked to perfection. Not only was the seafood fresh and flavorful, but it also wasn't overly greasy or oily, which can often be a concern when ordering fried items.

In addition to the delicious food, the service from the staff was excellent. They were attentive and made sure our experience was enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, the meal was a great value for the price and I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for tasty pub fare.

I went there to catch up with friends, as am from interstate, our lunch was generous serves, and staff went out of their way to cater to our needs. Overall we had a lovely time. The venue was a little quiet, which is just what we were looking for so we could have a real chat.

Had a seafood trio last night. Was a little disappointed as there was not much flavour in the calamari, prawns and fish.
The chips were hardly cooked almost raw in the middle.
Service was good.
Partner had lamb shanks with veg and it was amazing

Horrible experience. First time eating here and will not be back. Came with a bowling group for a presentation and all meals were given except for mine. When asking the staff what was happening we were told we hadn't ordered it despite being charged. The kitchen and bar have zero communication, resulted in only a refund despite the significant hassle.

Would not ever recommend far better places to eat in the Murray bridge area.

Went for a group birthday tea, all our teas were served over an extended time with the last coming an hour and half after ordering. He was eating alone and after everyone was thinking of going.
The quality of food has fallen since last there. You can only get coleslaw which I don't eat and veggies under cooked.
No salads. No vegetarian except for one entree.
Was disappointed because have enjoyed my meals here before.

Amazing serving sizes no one went home hungry and the food was delicious some people had to wait a lot longer than others however, we where a big group true but some of us had finished before others had even received their meal even though we all ordered together.

Great place, great food, friendly staff. Huge menu with decent sized servings when it comes to your meals. Great amenities, easy parking and a very short distance from the freeway exit, so makes it great place for a meal on your return home from a weekend away

It's a great place with friendly staff. Not the best when comes to drunks causing trouble. They need to kick them out before things escalate. But apart from that it's a great place to take friends and family to eat, drink have a gamble and have fun. It's child friendly too.

Visited here recently and really enjoyed my meal. I ordered a steak burger with the lot which was served with chips and l ordered a side of gravy. It was absolutely delicious. The steak was medium rare, juicy and just fell apart in your mouth. Would be in my top 10 rated burgers. Im very fussy about gravy, and the mushroom gravy was perfect. When we arrived there was plenty of free on site parking. As we entered the restaurant to our left was the bar and where we were standing and to our right was plenty of seating to choose from. We had reserved a table which looked out the front window to a pleasant view and we could see the lights of the trucks on the freeway, which made the night complete. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and will definitely be returning soon. Yum!
