"Awesome quality chips - perfect to take across to the beach for lunch. I made a mistake when ordering and forgot to add sauce so the owner gave me one for free. Will definitely be coming back as that type of service should be celebrated!"
"Since the new owners have taken over we are very disappointed with the flathead tails and chip meal. Fish over cooked and chips almost burnt. Everything over salted even though we specifically asked for only a sprinkle. We have been enjoying this same meal for the past 6 years. We will not be returning."
"Got the sea food basket for lunch. SO fresh and crispy chips. Highly recommend."
"We are tuned to see a dining experience as a good thing...not so here, although an experience it certain was..the rancid fetta and mouldy cucumber in the salad as far away from Greek as Anchorage would have provided an unforgettableexperience had i proceeded to eat it all. Crumbed fish is dusted in flour, dipped and drained in egg, and lightly crumbed. Here, they dredge the poor (grey, paper thin) new Zealand export in a sludge batter better suited to putting up wallpaper before crusting it in crumbs. The result is a cardboard casing worth submitting to Visy as a possible breakthrough in long haul transport wrapping. Disasters are few and far between in my well lived life. This one was only saved by Thailand's farmed "barramundi" that somehow survived the grill. The only edible element of the exercise. Happy to provide feedback then and there, but the team eagerly shuts the place up quicker than a hermit crab under attack."
"Listen, i posted about this on my personal IG and Facebook page, but I'm posting here because i need to. I am a NY'er in every sense. I know breakfast sandwiches, and sandwiches in general. Hell, I used to make breakfast sandwiches for a living, but regardless, I need people to know how INCREDIBLE This sandwich was. it's a Top 3 breakfast sandwich of all time! A friend of mine (a fellow NY'er who now calls Australia home) and I were driving by and I asked her to stop when I saw the word Diner. We entered and I didn't know what to get so I asked the young lady behind the counter "What are you known for?" Without skipping a beat she said "The double double" What is that you ask? it's 2 eggs, cooked to perfection, atop two layers of the most perfectly cooked bacon I may have ever had, on a long roll [Turkish??] and all they ask is if you want BBQ sauce, or tomato sauce. I chose a spicy chili. I paired it with a small coffee for $14 (A STEAL!!!) and then I added some Irish liquor (I wasn't driving) and, WOW. Even a week+ later, and back in the states I CAN NOT STOP raving about this sandwich. I would legit get anything from there after that breakfast sandwich (I almost ordered a second) so do yourself and your stomach a favor and make it a point to stop in here. I know it'll be one of my first stops when I come back in 6 months time!!"
