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.

First time that I have visited this Tavern, the food was nice and generous portion size, reasonably priced as well. The staff were very friendly and the meals were bought out quite quickly.only downside was that there were on 2 choices for dessert, so we...went elsewhere for thatMore

We would like to thank Shannon and the fabulous team at the George Tavern for making the event to honour our father memorable and stress free. The catering and service provided could not be faulted.

We stopped in to try this pub out for the first time. The food was average pub food. The incorrect pasta meal came out and when taking the full meal back to the kitchen 1 minute later 2 different wait staff blamed me for ordering...the wrong meal. I simply requested to have the correct pasta brought out however they repeatedly told me I ordered the wrong pasta and I would have to pay the difference. I paid the difference as this wasn’t an issue. Not the best experience.More

We were visiting a friend in a nearby hospital and come lunchtime needed a place to eat - the choice was eat street in the local shops or the George. What a fortuitous thing, we chose the George and had a great Pub Lunch. The...Battered Barramundi, chips and salad was a good choice - it came with crispy batter, generous salad and chips to die for!! Certainly we had not expecrted a lotfrom reading previous reviews, but i can assure you this was one of the best pub lunches we have had for some time.More

My family and I had dinner in the bistro on 12/11/19. Whilst the food was quite enjoyable, the location of our table was not. Do not sit at table no 3 if you want to be able to enjoy your food. All you can taste...is cigarette smoke wafting from the smoking area. Even my 4 year old grandson asked why his food tasted like smoke. Not a pleasant experienceMore

We ordered a schnitzel meal off the regular menu (not lunch menu) and paid $21 each. The below Picture is what came out. The chips and vegetables were cold and the schnitzel Had a look like it had sat on top of other schnitzels for...awhile. The corn wasn’t cooked. There was one piece of Broccolini. My partner had no vegetables or salad so his plate looked even worse. It was all thrown haphazardly on a plate. Was looking forward to a decent meal and got this instead. Be careful what you order. For a busy business I expected more than this.More
