I went to this restaurant with my parents, now I have taken my kids.. The Cuckoo is huge! The food is amazing, so much variety & the quality of everything we tried was good. The German theme continues all the way with the menu, decor, the staff in costume & the entertainment. We went for a Sunday lunch & really... More

We had a very good experience at this restaurant. As a mixed English/German couple with an interest in German culture and allowing our children to experience this, it really resonated with us. We visited one lunchtime on a day when they seemed very busy with a wedding party. Nevertheless a comfortable table was promptly found for the four of us,... More

I love how nuff this place is. It's so over the top and that's the reason we have returned. Food is pretty simple but enough there to suit most people. We'll be back! More

Haven't been here for 10 years and revisited in April 2012. This place is more or less still the same as it used to be when I was a kid. Good range of food available, although I remember it used to be better. Good place to bring the elderlies from overseas. Kids will probably enjoy the themed restaurant too. More

Lovely food, views, and ambience. Excellent value buffet. More

I will well and truly have to work very hard on the treadmill after this fabulous experience! Cannot wait to go again and re-fill our 1 litre beer steins, have our photo taken by... More

This is becoming a regular place to visit, each time we visit relatives in Australia! As always the atmosphere is wonderful, the food bounteous (just don't have breakfast before you go!) and the service very adequate (an occasional smile would be good). There are better restaurants in the area and you won't get haute cuisine but it's certainly worth a... More
