Ballina RSL Club

Nice environment, friendly staff, meals absolutely delicious. I had set menu 3 courses for $50. Entrée salad like main size, mains bigger than average, such generous. Deserts looks amazing, same as taste. Ballina RSL is the best RSL I have been to so far.

The Ballina RSL is located beside the Richmond River. Great location with river views. It is a very spacious venue offering dining upstairs which is Cafe style with bar facilities and the spacious Restaurant is downstairs with a large bar area. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. A special mention to Noah who went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed whilst we were there. They also have entertainment and we had the privilege of seeing a band play, The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly Tribute Show'

From the moment we walked in tonight, to walking out the service was brilliant.Both our rump steaks were cooked to absolute perfection.The bar staff fantastic and friendly.And I really have to give massive props to the young lady with the long plait and the young man (brunette) for their service. They were quick, friendly and had smiles on their faces the whole time greeting all their customers, and checking in on us.Working in the club scene for 15years, I have an absolute appreciation for great staff.Well done Ballina RSL(Dinner Sunday 16th April, 2023)

I’m from Sydney but I always come to Ballina to visit family. I came for the first time to RSL on Christmas Eve and loved it. I returned on New Year’s Eve and it was even better. Pleasant atmosphere, good music, competent service, and delicious and abundant food. Congratulations and Happy New Year to all the RSL team.

Took my father and husband out for a Father’s Day dinner .Staff were very friendly and helpful.Food unfortunately let it down. Overpriced,and took 48 minutes for the garlic bread to get to the table. The restaurant was not packed . Staff did apologise.Just a little underwhelming.Don’t think we will be back

I really wanted to like this place as its in such a good location, but outside of the great history war history section the rest was average. Upstairs is pokie central and is doing its best to get you to play the pokies. Downstairs is the dining room and to be fair the service was pretty good and all staff were nice. You walk past the history display and there is a large dining room and bar. I ordered an RSL/Pub staple, the Chicken Schnitzel with gravy. It was one of the worst I've ever had and was likely frozen. It was similar to cheap ones you would buy from woollies and just soggie/falling apart. There was barely any salad with it and even then it only had onion, cucumber and lettuce. If they can't get the staples right then I would hesitate to try anything else which by the way was hugely over priced. Basic steaks for 40-50 at an rsl is just missing the market of the target audience.Let's hope they improve and get back to what it should be about!

Came to grab a quick bite. The main restaurant was closed so we went to the cafe. The decor is pretty dated and the carpets are musty. There are distracting TV screens everywhere. Most of the upstairs seems to be occupied by a gaudy pokies room complete with depressed pensioners wasting their meagre dollars.The food itself was reasonable. 3/5.The ambience is terrible. 0/5.

The service was good and meal quite tasty and well cooked. I found the menu missing a few favourites but what was there was very well cooked and presented. Sadly a few items were sold out. During our meal we were presented with an amazing view/sunset.

Thank you for such an enjoyable meal. My young children, my husband as well as my meal were spot on. Loved not having to cook my own meal, so nice to go out dining and actually get value for money plus be so happy to eat such a good meal. Steaks cooked perfectly, fresh fish meal and oysters full of flavour. The staff were very nice and accommodating, particularly with master-10-year-old mac and cheese request. Great night out.
