Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This is a good food option in a great location by the Prosser River. We all had the flathead and chips plus a very good salad. The chips were delicious and served with tarta sauce. The flathead was fresh , well cooked and very tasty....You can eat inside or out on the terrace with river views. Cost effective, clean and a good selection of food. Check closing timesMore

After trip to Maria Island, we were looking for something casual and appetising. Came across Scorchers on the River at Orford. Lovely surprise. The service was good and the Italian food and wine was exceptionally tasty and satisfying with a lovely view of the Prosser...River. Highly recommend when passing through Orford on the East coast for lunch or early dinner.More

Located just off the main road opposite the river with plenty of free parking outside. Good inside and outside dining areas, the latter mostly undercover. The menu was heavily focussed towards pizzas ($20-$30), burgers ($18-$20), pasta ($25-$29) and fish and chips ($18 or $25 with...salad). The burgers were fine and the service friendly.More

First time back for us since new management took over last year. What a difference! The place really has some atmosphere now. We shared a Supreme, a Peperoni, and a Fish Pizza as well as a Pasta dish. Big thumbs up from everyone. Staff and...manager "Mark" couldn't have been more obliging. Definately coming back next time we pass through Orford.More
