Came here for lunch after a friend raved about her experience here. We weren’t disappointed. The grilled chicken burger was so full of flavour and deliciously juicy. The Lasagne was also amazing, salad fresh and chips cooked and seasoned perfectly. To top off our meal, a fresh juice and cappuccino. The service here was faultless. We were made feel welcome the second we arrived. Well done to your staff.

Food is good. If you like your fish and chips and chicken schnitzel then it’s a good place for it. Desserts really hit the spot and coffee is good. I had a double espresso. This place gets very busy on the weekends. The staff are young and always under pressure but they cope very well and handle the stress and do a good job. I’ve been told it’s hard to get good staff in the area. So to the owners and staff, keep up the good work. It’s one of our regular places we go to when we venture up the mountain.

Had their lunch special ( fish and chips & meat pie) for 10$ each. Great taste, even though the presentation wasn't the most beautiful. Wonderful crisp chips and food came out within 10 min ( even though my pie was upside down haha) Vibe is also really nice.

Food, Aussie big breakfast and salmon royale, was delicious. Cooked perfectly with perfect portions. Coffee was hot and caramel frappe was perfect. Total breakfast was just over $50 for 2.

We dined at 1:00 in the first Saturday of school holidays. There were tables available and we sat outside. The staff were super friendly and nothing was a problem. I had the pork belly and it was an excellent example, with the sauce thick and tasty. The chips were cooked perfectly, being crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The salad was well assembled and the dressing sharp and in just the right amount. My beautiful wife had the barramundi and she loved it. It was coated thinly so the taste of the fish could shine through. Our coffees were terrific, with the flat white and dirty chai having an excellent balance of flavours. There were heaps of options to tempt us into coming back.

Fast service, decent prices, we did breakfast and take away lunch. Grilled barramundi was delish. Scones with jam and cream come toasted. Also dogs are welcome. $10 breaky is a great serving.
