Fabulous spot for a mid week dinner. We went on a Thursday night and it wasn't too crowded. My partner had the Not So Sirloin vegan steak - it was good - great to have an interesting option for once. I had the Hello halloumi - which was fabulous and a good size. I also had the Grilled Corn Cob side with it - fantastic! I wanted to save room for the Vegemite Cheesecake Mate! It did not disappoint - it was amazing. Definitely taste the vegemite but not overpowering! Recommend giving it a try. Staff were great too. Overall a great night out.

Delightful Schnitzel, beers and cider. Service was faultless. Courteous and helpful staff, spotless, airy ambience. Really pleasantly surprised for such a high profile tourista location. Well done all of you. Uniforms were also impressive. Photos compliments of @loislane3792

Absolutely bustling with character and amazing food! The theme and decor of this place is incredible, even down to the flower fans with birds perched between. Usually at a place like this it's all character with sometimes average food, but the food here was just as exceptional as the rest of the experience. We had a family gathering and tried lots of yummy things. It's a bit pricey but the portion sizing and quality of the food are well worth it. I had the cheese me pizza and loved it. Highly recommended for cheese lovers (though picky eaters will want to ask for no capers). Staff were friendly and reasonable timing on service. Highly recommend checking the Banana Bender Pub out. There's also Aussie World (theme park) next door on one side and a bunch of beachside looking shops on the other (lollies, gift shops etc).

The venue itself was really great to look around. However, the food, unless you like coconut I would stay away from the schnitzels, everything we tried tasted like coconut, the parmajana had coconut in the bernaise and in the crumb and im sure they use coconut oil, overpowered everything. The grilled chicken wasn't as bad, but you could still taste a hint.

We had always driven past this pub and thought, that looks cool to try. Last night we tried it for the first time and loved it. When we walked in we greeted with lovely and approachable staff. The building was cool with all the different sections across the four floors. The staff were super helpful and knowledgeable about the menus and drinks. The food was presented well and delicious. Will come here again and again.

Large 2 story pub with an old town hotel feel. Lots of memorabilia on the walls, and although we didn't have a meal here, I'm sure that the food would be good. The theme is present everywhere look, and we enjoyed a beer during our quick stop.

WOW - sensory overload! As soon as we arrived at the ample parking area and we took in views of the Pub, we all let out an audible WOW! Amazing colors and spectacles everywhere. And the grandeur of the place is impressive. This was my first visit on the back of recommendations from friends, and they weren't wrong - WOW! The menu seemed small in comparison to everything else there, but there are plenty of choices for all ages and tastes. The choices of beverages at the bar was excellent and the staff were all happy and hospitable. 4 stars only because they didn't cook ---> MY <--- steak the way ---> I <--- wanted. The food portions too were quite large, and we were all full to our measure by evenings end. A fun night out.

Had lamb rump with choice of 2 sides - chose Mac and Cheese and Coleslaw $33. Also got pork lasagne that came with Coleslaw. The lamp rump was better.
