We gave this place a second chance but unfortunatley neither visits were anything but below average..
Shop is revamped ,nice and clean and new ,tables outside ,nice menu and sounds delicious
First time we ordered kebabs but somehow I dont think the owners are in hospitality.
Kebabs were ordered with extras which we didnt taste at all and far too messy with everything soaking the bag and dripping and hardly any meat.
Second time tonight we ordered burgers and a snack pack which sounded yummy of chips with kebab meat and cheese.
Well my chicken schnitzel burger was covered in mayo so much that i couldnt taste anything else. The crumbed schnitzel was so small it would fit the palm of my hand with plenty of room left over. Lettuce was nice and fresh,mixed. Bun was lovely brioche. other than that it was a downer with the mess and lack of chicken. Meat for the snack box was like the dregs of the fryer,burnt crumbs.Partners burger with the lot had no onion on the board menu so he asked for it and the box the burger was in was drenched in sauce. As soon as he picked it up the sauce was dripping everywhere. Was very bland he said.
The chips we ordered must have been cooked and made up well before the burgers were cooked,which we waited ten minutes for with no one in front of us waiting. Last time took just as long to make kebabs. The chips were slightly warm with hard cheese ,no salt and a box of grease and burnt offerings as meat . Very bad, no taste other than burnt. Prices are way high
They do breakfast for ten dollars for motels and the normal,bfast are $12 . I think $12 for muesli,yoghurt and fruit is a bit high.
Food isnt worth the cost and very disappointing. The meat on the chips was like left over crumbs in the bottom of,the tray.
Guys need to work on their cooking. We wont be back. If you do try it good luck,you might have better Luck we have spent over $50 both times joined and wont try a third time. The owner yelled at the boys serving infront of us and he didnt seem to know what he was doing either

Cant quite get my head around paying $5:20 for a mince pie. Why have pies become so exe?
Strolling along bullcock st on saturday mornings and wandered inside. Nice bright blue and white shop. After my initial shock of $5 for a small pie i ordered a potato and mince,they do have a couple of chunky steak but not worth the money
Was ok tho,i did find the pastry a little dry and messy and not a full flavour pie, too bland for me.
Nice clean shop tho,stainless steel cabinets so you can see everything.
The bread is gorgeous tho,their seeded sour dough is nutty and tasty and makes great toast or beautiful garlic bread.
Also have drinks and lots of variety

Been here a few times and its ok but nothing to dazzle us. The food is nice and we usually try something different each time wanting it to be better than the last. Restaurant isnt big and the takeaway is normally about 20 min wait
Staff havnt been overly helpful and the older staff have been a bit blunt but the food is always nice . Decor is typical asian . I do,like the garlic prawns and the dim sims fried . Costs us about $40 with 2 meals rice and a couple of extras . Just dont expect top of the line

Been here many times mainly to wait inline from 5 am for limited numbered bottle releases.
The store is so big and has had a bit of a revamp lately. So many bundy items to buy ,rustic wood store and the tours are really informative and show you how rums made from the cutting of the cane vids. Awesome place to visit even if you dont drink. We purchased a t shirt for $25 and so e bits and pieces and a hell of a lot on a case of lmt edit rum lol

Came here saturday for lunch. Its a lovely ranch laid back sort of shop,in the same looking suburb.
Small car park out front,lovely grassed area with tables and chairs under the trees at the side. great wooden benches and seats out front.
We were the only people there at this time.
Nice clean bright blue and white shop with little sea details on the walls. Drinks are different,makes a nice change to see kirks in the fridge.
We ordered 2 cod,potato scallops,calamari and drinks and onion rings.
Lady was nice that served us.
Fish had a nice crunchy crumb,I just dont like the skin on my fish which this had.was nice and thick tho and plenty of lemon wedges.
Onion rings partner had were ok he said tho,oily but well cooked. Calamari was also well cooked in oily batter. The potato scallops wer also oily to touch,the chicken salt didnt stay on the food,more in the box that anywhere. The scallops were way too oily and I think the oil,needed changing. Apart from that the food was ok but nothing to rave about. Lovely setting to sit and eat and worth a visit. They have burgers and milkshakes and its a short drive to,the beach. $43 . Why is the cheapest past foods coming so high priced these days . Changes I suppose. Have a try if you are around the area
