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.

Visited for a drink on Thursday 1st March. The staff were friendly, a typical country pub with a casual atmosphere, what else would you expect from this beach side location.

We had dinner and stayed in one of the double rooms on a Thursday night. Everything matched what you would expect for basic country pub atmosphere and service. Hearty beef meals (not many gluten free options) and friendly staff. The room and shared facilities was very quiet, clean and tidy with basic décor from so many decades ago it was charming.

This pub was trying a little g=harder to please with reasonably well presented food and attentive service. The atmosphere was quite good and one can expect that there are worse options in Port Campbell.

Excellent food in the bistro and great service. Had the porterhouse which was superb and my wife had the delicious crazy tiger beef salad. Host manager was brilliant and made sure our experience was at the highest standard

This is the only Pub in town and is only open some nights of the week and weekend.
A local advised to book ahead and we did and the service was so fast and also the local also advised to eat the seafood and they where amazing meals.
Recommends for a great meal and we will come back again.

I have been travelling to Port Campbell for nearly 3 years and spend on average 2 weeks of every month there due to my work.
All I can say is that since the new owners have taken over, it is damn near impossible to get a beer at the bar.
Tonight I spent 5 mins with my cash on the bar waiting to get served my first drink, finally one of the locals interrupted the bar attendant to serve me, then after finishing the first beer, and the gentleman next to me getting his glass filled, I then waited 9 minutes whilst the bar staff served everyone else, I did wave hoping I may get served, but was denigrated by the bar staff saying"don't wave at me, I will get to you soon" that for me was the last straw, I decided I will go to a place where I can get a drink. 12 Rocks, where the bar staff serve you with a smile.
Will I hope you take this on board.

Disappointing service. Eating in a group of 14. They bought out 12 meals and forgot two of us. When asked they said they only had 13 orders so bought out one more. I had to order again and then it took ages ( perhaps 30 mins for my meal to come out). They also made us feel it was our fault and were not apologetic at any time.

We stopped here for a drink and dinner during our stop while driving the Great Ocean road. Service by staff was excellent. Very friendly. Food was good. Schnitzel was thick and juicy. Diane sauce was a little disappointing, it has separated and oil sat on top, however still tasted great. Yummy garlic bread!

Went there last night for dinner, got seated quickly enough but after waiting for menus had signal the waitress to remind her! Finally ordered and paid only to be told there'd be a 40 minute wait for the meal.
Once we got it the food was good. Reasonable size. We I asked for a doggie bag was told they weren't allowed to give me one, that after me watching a local receive a polystyrene container for theirs. Was given some alfoil.
With the number of tourists in town this time of year they really need to staff the kitchen.
Wouldn't rush back there.
