Dayboro Cafe

"For those wanting to visit - check your order before handing over money!!!! I’ve been going to the Dayboro Cafe for the last 5 years and every time my experience there has been great. Recently, under new management the experience was very different. I ordered the cod and chips and the seafood basket and chips. Upon checking my order in the car I noted the portion of chips was very small. I went back with my cod and chips to question the teen behind the counter, just in case it was an error. She assured me that the number of chips was correct. I asked for a refund. When I returned with the rest of the order nobody wanted to acknowledge I was there! I had to ask two different people to process my refund. They were only too happy to take my money and deliver something that was underwhelming but it took some effort to get them to process a refund. Poor service, poor management, poor products and won’t be going back again!"

"The only thing worse than the manifestly excessive wait time (at least 10 people ordered after us and got food first) was the disgraceful attitude of the visibly sick child at the counter. No idea what her problem was but she was ridiculously rude when we followed up after a 45 MINUTE wait. Food was okay but majorly underwhelming for such a huge wait and terrible service experience."

"I recently moved to the area with my partner (who used to live here) and he said this place was the best. He's taken me here before and that first time was great. However since we moved here we've noticed that their service and quality of food has gone downhill. We've received multiple orders that were wrong and barely get a greeting anymore when we order. We keep saying we'll try once more to see if the staff has improved but each time we just get disappointed. Such a shame to see this place turn bad."

"Decided to try these guys again as they are the only ones that do fish n chips in Dayboro other than the IGA. Last year we waited 2 hours for a couple of burgers so haven't used them for a year. Today we ordered 2 daggy dogs, a pineapple fritter and small chips. Half an hour later this is what we got. Not sure what happened to the missing daggy dog or the poor, burnt offering that is supposed to be a pineapple fritter. Clearly things have not improved, such a shame."

"First time to this cute little cafe.. the service was fast, and friendly with very down to earth staff. The salmon and salad was very fresh and served exactly how I like it, and the chips was nice and crispy. My friend ordered the work's burger and chips and she loved it! And the chicken nuggets and chips for the kid was also very decent quality. The prices was good, and there is an outside sitting area with a small kids zone. I would totally recommend this place :)"
