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.

Ignored by staff
Jul. 2021 • Couples
Very bad customer service. Stood at bar and was ignored by staff. Ended up walking out. Booked dinner that night and waited for hour and a half for meal.
Today wanted to buy a slab of beer. Ignored by staff again. Waited half hour to pay for it. Had two other customers served before me. Not happy.

Great pub, absolutely beautiful meals. The steak is locally sourced and is tasty and tender. Always served with a smile by the kitchen staff.

Very generous meals
Sep. 2020 • Couples
One of the best pub meals I have eaten. Ordered the lamb chops with a topper of onion rings. It could have fed at least 2 of us! 4 lamb chops, salad, chips and enough onion rings to be a full serve. The food was delicious, service was great and definitely recommend a stop here.

Avoid the Federal Hotel - go month Mud But instead.
Sep. 2020 • Couples
Well walked in today and waited 10 minutes before anybody came to us but they saw us when we walked in. Eventually came to the counter and we asked for a counter meal. She looked at the time and said no lunch meals are finished and go to the cafe. We asked about the other pub down the road and she said if you want to go there go.
Got to the Mud Hut hotel and the people there were so happy to serve us and we had the best lunch and chat. Thanks to Mud Hut for saving us.The only rude person in Richmond is at the Federal Hotel. The town people are beautiful. Well done Mud But!

Great country pub
Sep. 2019 • Couples
Visited the main bar two days running for a couple of coldies after a day’s driving and a day’s sightseeing. Friendly locals, friendly service, cold beers and great Queenslander atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Old two storey pub nice rooms
Meals are great and nicely priced sit at the bar and join the conversation with nice bar staff and other locals. Would recommend a stop over in the pub even for just lunch to get that nice country experience

Great pub
Aug. 2019
Great pub with lots of character. Lovely food. The meat is bought locally and there are different specials every lunch and dinner time. Staff are welcoming, friendly and always happy to have a chat. Over the bar prices very reasonable and there are monthly specials for takeaway alcohol too. Would definitely recommend!!

Tourists- Worse pub grub ever
Aug. 2019 • Couples
Tourists do your hard earned cash a favour and go to the mud hut hotel.
This federal palace is serving shocking food.
I had a T-bone. I asked RARE.
I got an overdone piece of meat.
The 'steamed' vegetables came straight from a frozen bag from the local spar.
Disgusting!
The other dinner had the special "southern style " chicken
The crumbed chicken was so salty it should have been called southern salt chicken. Won't waste yr time with the salad and chips that came with that!

The sad thing is that yesterday we went to the other pub (mud hut) and had the abdolute surprise of a wonderful meal.

But the caravan park lady who obviously has no idea and no palate told us this was her favored eaterie

Some people should never give advice!

Nice place to stay
Jun. 2019 • Couples
Pleasant place to stay, food was nice. Cheap place to stay with breakfast included. Was a nice surprise to find a fruit box (popper/juice in box/ whatever you call them) and a museli bar on the bed. Solid door onto verandah and they don't allow smoking on the verandah upstairs, nice not to wake up to second hand smoke in the room like other places we've stayed. Will stay here again on journey through.
