For the price of the steak, it would have been good if it was cooked right. We ordered 3 medium and 1 rare. The rare was fine, the rest all cooked well done.

The restaurant is very comfortable with nice soft padded and covered seating. It is at the back of the hotel so not too noisy and it also has a lovely log gas fireplace. The menu has a good variety to choose from. I had the lovely barramundi 'fish and chips" and my husband had a good size quality steak with his favourite pepper sauce. For dessert we had a very yummy baked cheesecake which was a nice surprise as it had a delicious berry toping which wasn't mentioned on the menu and it didn't have that dry tasting texture like most baked cheesecake's have; so it turned out to be one of the yummiest baked cheesecakes we'd ever had! If it's on the menu you'll want to order it!

Dropped in looking forward to a good steak. It was a nice steak. Tasty and good just right. However the watery undercooked vegetables and sauce selected were a let down and were more suited to a meal worth half of what I paid. My dining companion was looking forward to a Guinness but none were available. Staff brilliant and facilities very nice. Would go back with a different meal choice.

SJs new menu is phenomenal!! If you are looking for steak options, this is the place to go! The atmosphere is on point with so many different areas. Their function rooms are affordable for your special events and the staff are friendly and fast.
Definitely give this place a try when you are in the area. 10/10

For a rather expensive steak by any measure, I'd expect it to be cooked as requested and served looking far better than a general $25 pub rump. Having a 400gm eye fillet on the bone was what I ordered and was nice, but unfortunately I've had far better for the same price and had to send a $60 striploin back as it was very overdone. Again, I'vehad better pub rumps that are as impressive, without hurting the hip pocket for double. The bar service was great and the kids area and courtyard was perfect for the occasion. Maybe it was the chefs on the day, but think 4 out of 5 is fair.

We had a big group, with oldies and kids and everything in between, for a birthday do, and the service was great. Helpful, attentive and happy to put up with all of our questions and requests.

Really want to single out Chloe, who was the most delightful helper we could ask for.

The $70 Seafood share plate was absolute rubbish !! A very over priced seafood basket that advertised oysters and salad only to be told after it came to the table and had no oysters that sorry we don't do oysters with the share plate at this venue!! Umm it's clearly stated on the menu and your the only Sydney junction hotel ?????????? and now after reading other reviews that state the same thing months ago about the false advertised oysters don't you think you would change the A4 piece of paper in the menu ?? The food was disgusting there was no salad or Oysters served and the hidden 15% surcharge for dining in on a Sunday is absolutely ridiculous !! You won't get a return visit from us

this is a place to rest your head in a busy part of newcastle.

the folks working are very friendly and the venue seems nice enough.

the room was clean enough, however, the smell inside the room was awful. in fact, after staying here i was unable to properly breath for several days because my sinuses were in such rough shape.

we got a great deal on our room and sort of goes to show, you get what you pay for.

The place has been renovated with a nice dining area and beer garden, the staff were very friendly, the food and drink was good. We had Cob Loaf with Cheese, Schnitzel, Steak Sandwich, Junction Burger and a Lamb Rump and couldn't fault it.

Food was terrible. Menu advertised a seafood platter with fresh oysters. We received a seafood platter of frozen then deep fried yuck with no oysters. When we questioned where the oysters were the staff informed us "we don't do oysters". The manager offered us fresh prawns to supplement then brought us a small bowl warm defrosted prawns. Other meals were poor at best. Pasta was oily and and calamari main was frozen then deep fried as well. Wouldn't recommend or go back.

We went to the Sydney Junction Hotel (or SJs to the Newcastle locals) less than a month ago with our dogs on the off chance they may allow dogs outside. We were surprisingly informed that the venue was pet friendly throughout - beer garden, bar, TAB, Sports bar. To ensure we were doing the right thing, I asked other staff. We were advised that dogs were allowed throughout the venue by 3 staff members and 1 manager.
Today, we went there for lunch and a few beers on a pleasant afternoon with our two dogs. Walking in, we were stared at by one of the bar staff. Awkwardly asking if dogs were allowed, we were advised that they were not unless service dogs. When I advised that we were assured by other staff they were allowed, he informed that we were incorrect and dogs were not permitted and that the other staff were incorrect and he was correct. If dogs aren't allowed at the venue, that's fine. But the attitude of the barman in advising us was out of order. Very disappointing and a little bit embarrassing. Anyway, we went to another venue very close and spent $150 on lunch and beers.

A very modern and open downstairs bar, staff are friendly and a very popular spot especially on game night. However the hotel part upstairs was not at the same standard. We found bugs in the bathroom and got stuck downstairs as we were given only one key. The rooms and upper building are the old buildings design which explains the apparent lack of noise cancelling as the trains that rumble and honk close by all hours of the night, you would think that would be a necessity. I barely slept, but the beds were comfortable at least.

Stopped in here for a cuppa whilst waiting for our train. Haven't been here in many years and absolutely love the renovations. Great atmosphere and we can't wait to go back to spend some more time and have a meal. I'm sure it will be excellent!

Staff are excellent, and really looked after us. Lovely room (for a hotel) with good sound proofing but lacking in some basic elements like cups, milk teaspoon in the room for a cuppa. Also a clearly signed check in desk would be good.

If you appreciate good staff stay away. The bistro staff are down right rude. They will serve food in pokie room with people smoking. But don't dare ask to be served in smoking area they will ask you to leave...MONEY SEEMS MORE IMPORTANT EVEN IF THEY ARE HIPPOCRATES

I met my mate here for lunch and had a few beers over a counter meal. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. I couldn't knock the place and look forward to making it the workplace local watering hole,lol.

It was great to have the Hudson Room @ SJ's for my daughter's 21st. Camille and her staff were very helpful. Food was tasty, room was set up nicely and handy location.

It was so good to have a separate room and simply order from the bistro. The room is nicely styled, plus being able to decorate it with party things was a bonus.

This place has come a long way from its previous 'dive bar' status. Really nicely remodeled into an upmarket establishment. Great place for a punt, watch the game and food is above average also

The staff were helpful and made you feel welcome. Great place to visit.

A great experience, the venue is large, modern, and pleasant to boot. Lots of food choices, all large serves and excellent value. A great play area for the children, with lots of nearby seating so you can let them play while you enjoy the meal. Friendly and attentive staff.

Average service. Very expensive for what you got. My mum and I ordered the seafood share plate. Fish was oily, squid was rubbery and tasteless. No oysters came. Mainly paid for chips instead of actual seafood. Garlic prawns were oily. Won't be coming back.

Seriously awesome we came on a Tuesday night which was Trina night which made a great atmosphere. The meals were super tasty which house made chipotle sauce. The play ground area was fantastic and beer on tap is great. Loads of seating space and staff were more than happy to help you. The prices are also very good value for money.

Rump steak 200 g with veges, It was a plate of mash potatoes, carrots that hard I couldn't eat, spear of asparagus, steak so small very thin and dried up. Most terriable meal I have had here. $26 I couldn't believe it ..expected a juicy steak and decent veges for that price ..This was last Friday and still can't get over it never going back

Nice atmosphere and family friendly with a playground area. When we went was 7pm on a Saturday night, the place was only 40% full or so and we order several plates of food, the food was nice but the wait was 45 minutes for food. That's the only reason I gave it a score of 3.

The place looked great and it held a nice atmosphere.
The customer service they provided was of a very high standard.
The food I had was ok however my friend's meals were less then stellar.

Overall my friends and I had good night out.

Tuesday 1:35pm, we entered so a pub feed and drink. At the service desk while ordering food, we were told the wait was to be 30 minutes... An hour later we were told it was going to be another 40 minutes for our food... We cancelled our order, behind us was a line of 6 people also cancelling their orders. Within this, they told us they have a new chef as why the issue was our food issue was occurring. My partner had left his own review being denied food as such, chucking a taccy... Horrible service overall....

Place was great. Rooms could be a little more soundproof but hey, its a cheap room. Food is good. Only real complaint is if your staying here on a Friday, Saturday night and you go back to the room at 12am like we did your pretty much locked in for the night the bouncer was VERY clear on that one...

Food and service was great. Only small thing was, both us and our friends took our kids, aged 4 to7, as it has a good reputation for being child friendly. We were sat in outdoor area at 5pm, and there was a musician playing, at a pretty decent volume. We couldn't hear each other talk which was our only gripe. He was good! But, maybe, hold it back an hour or so to give early diners some loud music free time. Food good, came out quickly also. Great play area for kids. We will be back for sure
