Friendly service, great menu, average pricing, large meals. Kids and seniors meals available. Great big kids play area, there are some arcade/prize machines in there requiring money.
Lovely meal and came out quickly.
You order your meals and drinks separately, however great for friends/groups who pay for their own meals.
My son and I sometimes have a meal in the sports bar of this hotel, the food is always very nice and hot, and the beer is icy cold and the staff are friendly
Daisy's is in such a great location next to Ringwood Lake but the meals here continue to disappoint. The food, at best, is average pub fare dressed up with finer dining prices. It's not great quality at all and the restaurant doesn't appear to be very clean. If they got their act together this place could be awesome, as it once was many, many years ago.
Our family eats here once a month. Great menu, fantastic food & decent prices. Massive kids indoor playground. Really great for the whole family.
This is another example of standard pub fare as I call it, which on this occasion is disappointing considering the establishment is not strictly a pub and has a long history backing it.
I have been here on several occasions, usually for a family outing and once or twice for something different. The main attraction would be the playground and the specials nights which appeals to families.
The playground is run down and doesn't appear to be cleaned too often. Whilst it is all self contained you feel a need to keep an eye on any children as equipment is easily climbable and gives a bit of a sticky, uncleaned vibe.
The service can be incredibly slow especially when ordering from the bar as staff seem to quite often be on double duties as serving staff both behind counters and on the floor.
Depending on what you order and the day you attend the food can range from fairly standard to poor in quality. From my experiences the chicken parma is a safe bet on every night but not on the 'parma night' as its a bit slap dash then because every man and his dog is ordering one. The seafood basket is large and generally good quality but I would never order a pasta based mean as the sauce is always watery and flavorless.
The atmosphere can also be a bit hit-and-miss as well. During school holidays and 'kids night' don't expect to have a relaxing meal or be able to hear the other people at your table because it can get loud. Most nights the music is played a little loud as well, especially if you are sitting on the top tier and underneath can echo quite loudly as well.
I recommend it for people who are looking for a cheap meal with a bit of children's entertainment on the side.
We visited Daisy's using the Hot Dockets voucher - Buy 1 Main Meal get a second for $5. Using these voucher's the price of meals at Daisy's was quite reasonable. Without these voucher's I believe this restaurant is overpriced. You order at the main counter and the food is then brought to your table.
We have visited Daisy's twice in the last 3 weeks, primarily because of the Playground. On our first visit it was a Tuesday night and the restaurant was very quiet. The venue appeared clean enough and the children were able to happily enjoy the play area. The food was served quickly and the standard appeared be okay.
On our second visit it was "Kids Eat Free" Night and the restaurant was far busier. The food was served very quickly, but the bar was not. In fact, after ordering our meal the food was at the table more quickly than we were after stopping to order a drink.
I noticed on this occasion how outdated and dirty the venue appeared. It has not been updated in the last 20 years, and perhaps not given a mega clean in as many years. I spent more time in the playground on this occasion and it was much busier and constant supervision was necessary.
The playground area is freezing! The restaurant in general is cold, but the playground is like Ice. The design of the playground is unsafe as it allows children to be able to climb the tube slides and get on top of the playground which is very high. There is no play equipment for children under 2 years either. On the plus side, the did have a balloon artist here on a the Thursday night which the kids thought was a fantastic treat.

Seemed a bit expensive for a family restaurant, and he waitresses were quite run off their feet, but was a very nice meal and we walked away happy to go back another time. This weekend in fact.
Approximate cost: $18
we went on a thursday night kids eat free. had fried calamari. it was tender and fresh. i was pleasantly surprised. the fish and chips for kids meal was alright. hubby had a chic parma which was ok too.
there was face painting and big playground kids on that day. considering the free activity, free kids meal and decent enough main meal it was a satisfactory experience and good value dining.
Approximate cost: $18
Very hot inside.
Food ok. Steaks overcooked-live bug in my salad.(why me??)
Kids spaghetti was disgusting. Some 'frozen 2 yrs ago' microwaved to scalding flavourless watery sauce. Kids wouldn't eat it!!
Playground wasn't useable. Filthy, broken parts everywhere cobwebs everywhere. Tables chairs and floors were sticky
Whole place is run down. Not returning. Ever.
Approximate cost: $27
We have eaten here several times, the food is good, fast (usually) and yum. Its very noisy here as its so open, and in the summer is stinking hot!! Has a playground for kids.
This place has a great entertainment for the kids (clown/magician as well as large play area), and is really good value for money with the "kids eat free" night. I would definitely recommend it to a person or couple with one or more children, but may not be the ideal place to go for a "romantic evening" for two. Although this is only based on one visit on the night kids eat free, so best to use your own judgement.
This is great if you have small kids that love to run around places unhindered! That's what everyone else seems to do! The food is typical 'pub grub' - good for drinks and dinner after work on a Friday, but not much else!
Approximate cost: $15
