The portion sizes were very small (especially for the price). I got the calamari salad and it was very small and mainly had the stub of the iceberg lettuce. My partner ordered the ribs and they were not cooked well and overpirced. I would definitely try one of the other great restaurants in Airlie Beach.

My medium rare steak was 'blue'. A steak restaurant where the chef can't cook a steak? Appalling. Head to the Whitsunday Sailing Club, KCs or Banjo's if you want steak cooked, as ordered, in the Whitsundays. And avoid the Hog's Breath...it stinks.

Our first night in airlie beach and it was australia day and everywhere was very busy. We stumbled upon here and we were very hungry. It was absolutly roasting inside here but we were on a balcony. The food was bog-standard pub food in my opinion but very nice nonetheless. Just what we needed in fact. The portions were big... More

Staff only interested in clearing up and going home (at 21.15) rather than looking after their customers requirements.

Thanks to Nemo my guests and I had an awesome day at Hogs Breath, Airlie Beach. Nemo went over and beyond to accommodate us all. The restaurant was almost full but the staff attended to all three tables of us with friendliness and efficiency. Thanks Griffin in the kitchen and all the staff for bringing out our meals at the...

Had great service but asked for a well done steak and it wasn't cooked properly. I visited twice hoping for a better cooked steak next time . I did advise them of this and they were only too happy to take 25% off the price of my meal.

The girls working were very lovely and attentive however the food was mediocre and the cocktail my friend was given was poorly made and tasted awful. However the view from the balcony (we managed to get a seat.. just) was very pleasant and a nice breeze made it comfortable, at a guess on a hot evening I'd say it wouldn't... More
