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.

Beautiful dinner. The Hot Rocks option was definitely a highlight. Great service and venue. Friendly staff - young man who served us was happy to tell us about the Hot Rocks. Would highly recommend.

Astute motorcyclist will love this place with its historical 'chainsaw' theme hanging off the exposed beams. I personally rate this place very high. A crew of 8 riders went here in winter and all gave the thumbs up. Big fire, big meals, big dining, good parking area is the right ingredients. Dont know what the accommodation is like but assume it fine. It will be our prime choice for lunch stop.

This is a must go if you like steak! We both ordered the prime eye fillet steak (300g) at a fair price for the quality. The perfect way to have quality steak on the hot volcanic rock. You get to have each tender slice cooked the way you like. I tried 'blue', rare, medium rare, and medium. All with delicious taste, freshness and tenderness. This is juicy tender steak at its best. You have to try it. So pleased we did. Also some lovely wines by the glass.

Please everyone, start coming back to the Erica pub post Covid. We were excited to return and order a hot rocks steak. It was fabulous as always, so tender, and as it is cooked at the table, it is precisely to your liking! I had eye fillet with a nice pepper sauce. My dining partner had the garlic prawns and thoroughly enjoyed them. Chips were nice, but please bring back the chips from 2 years ago. Service was prompt and very professional and friendly. The owners deserve the return of the regular customers where you fight to get a booking. Best food around and worth the scenic drive through the local bush area. Thanks Erica pub!! Best wishes to you too, hope you enjoy a busy summer.

SENSATIONAL!! This quaint country pub has THE MOST amazing hot rock steaks! Never experienced anything like it!! Delicious side salad and moorish chips! Ice cold beers and excellent wines too! The hosts Judy and Dave were so obliging and helpful with local knowledge! A really friendly country pub! We stayed the night in their comfy rooms with a snoozy bed and then off to Walhalla the next day!! I highly recommend the hotel for lunch or dinner with its fascinating decor of antique chainsaws and huge fireplace! You MUST go and experience the hot rock steaks!! I don't know where they get their "tender as butter" steaks from but.....Sensational!

Fabulous food! The Hot Stone Grill is a must. I had the Pork and my Husband had the Rump. Both lovely thick cuts of meat and so flavoursome. Highly recommended!

Drove 2 hours to visit Erica, checked the opening time of the pub to be sure of getting something to eat, only to be told by a rude grumpy man behind the counter that the kitchens closed. So we askedfor a drink, the same grumpy bloke said "you better be out in 15 minutes" You Sir, have no place in public relations

Had dinner here on two nights. First night was an Aussie Pizza (small $14) which was excellent and one of the best I have had. My wife had the excellent 350g Rump on hot rock. Two nights later, we both had the Rump, with chips and vegetables and again it was excellent for $26 each. A nice glass of wine to complement the meal a d you would be hard pressed to better.

We dropped in for dinner. Sensational lamb backstrap on hot rocks. Beautiful glass of house red to compliment it. Followed it up with a stunning dessert - sticky date pudding. The chef went the extra mile to bring out cracked pepper to go with the lamb and extra whipped cream to go with our desserts. 9.5/10 for the atmosphere, wood fire, food, presentation and fabulous staff. Do yourself a favor if you are within driving distance.....have a meal here!!!! (Jane & Clyve)
