Wait staff who didn't know the differences between cuts of steak. Slow service and when the meals finally turned up two out of three were cold. Potato was physically served cold to touch. Steaks couldn't melt the garlic butter on the top of them. Dissapointing really. More

If you want Corona and Fajitas, this is the place. When you want Mexican, you want Mexican. If you're in Mackay when it happens this is where you'll get the best. More

This would have to be one of the worst Restaurants that we have encountered. We don't normally eat in "chain" restaurants but thought we would give it a try as you can normally rely on some sort of consistancy, cheaper meals etc. How wrong we were. The staff-both front and back of house-need to realise that they are in the... More

Had read the good reviews on TA and decided to give it a go. The service was crisp, friendly, and efficient (we were there at 5.30pm). The kids ordered nachos, their fav, and I ordered steak with bernaise sauce with avocado and prawns. The kids didn't finish their nachos (never seen this before) and I couldn't finish my steak/salad. The... More

This place is known for it's variety and great price on cocktails. On a weekend it is a production line of cocktail making. Only fall back is the wait time due to it being so popular. More

Had a fantastic meal and best of all as we were staying in the Mackay Grande Suites, we were able to order room service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, generous portions and just really good tasty food. Make sure you book for the weekends! More

If you want to eat somewhere cheap and cheerful but dont mind how the food tastes then this is your place, the place was very busy and staff seemed to have everything under control, we were told we might have to wait 40 mins for our food but we were pleasantly surprised to see it arrive within 20. However, the... More
