Play Pokies at The Tradies in Dickson

Terrible - If you like arrogant chefs, bad service and plastic chunks in your food, this is the place to go. --NOTE THEIR PR COMANY GENERIC REPLY AND NO CONCERN OR ACTUAL RECTIFICATION ON THE NIGHT-- They scan your licence to allow you in a guest which is pretty suss (who gets the photos?) The service is a mismatch, The bar lady was nice, the one on the till was so vacant and rude and was a struggle to get a simple order right \"L\'BTH. Food is average, maybe above average in parts. Drinks and food are very expensive even as members. Kitchen is pretty much \"contract cooks\" and rude as when I took it back and said meat was incredibly tough, and then I found a bit of plastic in the equally chewy coleslaw! Chef was rude when I said it was tough and there was a chunk of plastic in it. Refunded it.

I have been to The Tradies for several meals. Each time I read through the menu, & can\'t go past the grilled Barramundi. It is superb. Both the fish & accompaniments are glorious. Veg cooked to perfection, & velvety smooth mashed potato.
The one thing that cost the 5th star is that sometimes it\'s too salty.
Staff are always very friendly & helpful.

Had a fantastic breakfast at Bluey's Cafe in The Tradies... one of the best coffees and egg's Benedict ever ... so fresh and hot without that vinegar taste .... 10/10

After a six-hour drive we pulled into the pub for food. The magic words were spoken:
"Roast of the day - lamb." ???'
Perfect. We all were sold.
There was a bit of a wait (fair enough), and when it arrived the lamb was beautifully presented - slices stacked like a little hill, with gravy poured over the top like lava slowly sliding down a mountain.
On the plate: carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.
The cauliflower was cooked perfectly.
The broccoli (stems only)looked like it had lost the will to live.
And the carrots... well... one jab with a fork and it achieved lift-off, exiting the plate like a UFO 🚀
A touch of mint sauce on the side, plus a bun roughly the size of a baby's fist, just in case anyone was still hungry.
Sadly, the only thing that arrived genuinely ??"? hot was the gravy - which, to be fair, was doing all the heavy lifting. ???"

The Tradies is a great place to go if you have a group. The food is fantastic and there\'s self service sparkling and still water for tables and a great atmosphere.

The staff were really friendly and helpful too.

There\'s a great lounge area where you can sit and talk together as a group too.
