My wife and I were well dressed, polite customer stopping for a quick drink and a slap on the pokies. Bought drinks fine, staff member who served us was informative and polite, we sat down and threw $50 in a machine and started betting. The Pokie room was entirely empty except for us. A staff member came in and said only one person per machine. This isn't legislation, just the venue's rules. So we collected our money, downed our drinks and left, never to return again. We went to Windang Bowlo and had a great time gambling together and drinking together. So if you want to have a decent afternoon is a nice environment, AVOID THIS NANNY STATE. I can highly recommend Windang bowling club, Illawarra Yatch Club, Collegians, even the commercial hotel at Port Kembla is a step up from this backwoods hick establishment. Just to think, we drink and bet once a week together, rarely winning, always drinking and usually eating from the restaurant, we were looking for another local as we're reasonably new to the area and like to support many local businesses, and after this we'll never spend another cent here again, nor will our family members or work colleagues. Small pubs like this are disappearing constantly because of idiotic non-legislated rules like this.

Dinner with the family last night. New menu is fantastic, fried chicken tenders a highlight! Kids playground and the kids dinner boxes were great. Highly recommend

The right blend of old and new school. Good kids playground. Prices are still fair. Good food. Comfy for families. Stay just like you are...love the rilla pub!

Best kids meals I've ever seen!!!!! The kids ordered a pasta dish and chicken and chips meal. Both were served on a huge bento box with fruit and cold veggies cut up. Both my children started eating the healthier foods first. I was so impressed by the effort made and presentation which had my kids eating more than they usually eat.

The 300 gram grass feed rump was delicious so was my family's meals job well done

Over an hour and half wait for food and pasta was stone cold when we received it,probably because it was sitting around for an hour and a half somewhere. Tacos were ok but nothing to write home about.

Playing the pokies and get questioned about sitting on the machine without playing or standing up walking around felt completely unwanted in the [---] room. There is no other establishment in nsw that is so pushy with making sure your playing or not playing or having 2 people to one machine. Wont be back. Great way to lose business.

Went to the Warilla hotel with Family for dinner. The serves were large & very tasty. The kitchen & dining staff were friendly & helpful. They have a separate large area for the children's playground. The kids loved it.

Definitely the most family friendly and best value pub in the region. This and the Lake Illawarra hotel offer a great experience for one and all.

Gaming room was open to late was served with shift drinks while playing and appetisers, some staff weren't very friendly, not many games at all what they did have was repeated so maybe 3 or 4 games to choose from that was it, they do have a drive through bottle shop though you can ever that of the main road.

Thank you Mohammad (the security) for his kindness and absolute good behaviour towards us, also Nathan and Kayla ( bartenders) served us 30 cocktails in 1 hr with such a friendly behaviour, what a service and what a staff.. absolutely no regrets..

We had our grandson 4th Birthday, so impressed. We booked the cabanas, the playground is perfect, the lunch was beautiful but such a stand out, the staff wrre amazing, from the fellow behind the bar with great personality to the balloon lady entertaining the kids and the little bags of stickers and colouring in. The staff that came and cleaned up and checked on us, nothing was a problem. Will definitely be back and sharing this great experience.
Thanks to all.

Kids area is this place's saving grace.
Food, very less than average. Nachos so gross, covered in sweet chilli sauce. The inside area smells like cigarettes which the staff have attempted to cover up by spraying excess air freshener (gassing us out in the process).
Staff are very friendly and accommodating but we won't be returning.

Undercover Play area great; otherwise food ordinary- nothing at all to rave about. Vinyl chairs filthy(we cleaned them ourselves); bistro area smells stale, offputting when eating. Tho Staff amenable, we probably won't return here.

Facilities are excellent
Bar staff wonderful
However several of us that ate ended up with food poisoning.

Notified management the next day and it was deflected to be an issue with the food suppliers.

Sadly it was just not cooked correctly which made us all sick.

Good local crowd of punters and footy fans. Out the back (front???) there is an awesome playground for the kids with outdoor seating so you can supervise while you're eating and drinking. Bistro serves a quality pub meal at a good price and hours are family friendly. Service is great. Highly recommended.

Friendly service great food, clean and tidy. Has play area for kids. Is wheelchair accessible and parking.

The staff are always ready to make the experience friendly and warm ..can't praise them enough

Kids play area is huge and is outside but completely undercover. Tables all the way around so you can dine out there if you wish. Big glass windows to the inside so you can also dine inside if by the window and still keep a close eye on your little ones. Food was good too.

Food great. Friendly service. Great kids play area. Would recommend.

It my local great staff and great atmosphere as well.

Good bottle shop good prices and the customer rewards program is excellent

Love the beef jerky here open late and a good variety

Great place cold beer huge flat screen

Only went to the restaurant. .. the food was great and a large selection to choose from and prices very reasonable. .. will go back again..

Best pub/club food we've had in years and cooks that actually know how to cook a steak! Extremely friendly bar and restaurant staff and we will definitely be back ?

Chicken schnitzel was excellent, staff were friendly will be back next time I'm down the coast.

Great food ...friendly staff ..Clean n covid safe .

Good service nice and polite and they come around with snacks and offer drinks whilst playing the machines PLUS big jackpots 52,000 and a friend of mine as won it the first time in there support your local

Love the friendly staff, great food and a very chilled vibe

Ordered takeaway to be ready for 7, we arrived at 7:10. Food was cold, not even warm, calamari not even edible. Called to discuss, was told manager would have to call back...overheard him telling staff. Really disappointing, might have been a one off, but management's lack of concern ensures we won't be going back.

Wow Omg the food here is divine my first experience here yesterday had the chicken and garlic prawn chips and salad highly recommend the staff are super friendly kind the premises are beautiful clean gorgeous fit outs and atmosphere the chef was attentive and his food was superb love this little hidden gem at warilla

First timer to Warilla hotel. Staff were friendly and food is delicious. Had a great experience. I would highly recommend.
