Reviews
"Awesome staff. Very friendly and patient. The food is always great, on the very rare occasion there is a bit of an issue but nothing major, I must emphasise that this is VERY rare. The atmosphere is awesome as well, love the portraits. My favourite one being the avengers portrait before the toilet. I highly recommend Fermented!"
"We had dinner here while checking out Brewtown for the first time one Friday. They had lots of food and drink options to choose from, including plenty for those with dietary restrictions e.g. vegetarian. Heaps of beer options to choose from being Brewtown also. We were super disappointed that the whole of Brewtown closes at 9pm but did enjoy our time at Fermented. Recommend calling in for a beer and a bite to eat, particularly the jalapeno poppers or chilli chips, both a win."
"Ordered through doordash. Pretty good food. We loved the dumplings and pork belly bites. A bit heavy handed with the cheese though! Both on the loaded fries and pizza. Couldn't see or taste the peperoni but it was there somewhere."
"A great spot for our group of 20+ in a semi-outdoor/covered area. Some of the food was great (pizzas) but the chicken burger bun was very stale and chicken overcooked. Also don't recommend the fried chicken as it's just tiny off cuts of pieces of chicken the size of a 50c coin. A great spot for groups though and awesome selection of drinks."
"My friend had an issue with her burger but very quickly the staff attended to her and solved it. My 2yo niece approved of the kids pizza and the cheesy garlic bread. I got the Keto Salad and it was good , was just missing a kick - added some hot sauce and it was yum. The dumplings are juicy and really yum flavour. Only thing I would say - they have a beautiful selection of sharing type foods but platters are limited - either $28 for Snack or $70 for Main. Would be nice to have platter sizes and prices and a selection of what can be chosen for that price to be able to enjoy more of what is to offer. Overall we enjoyed our experience, huge portion sizes and the lovely staff. Will visit again for sure."
