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.

Thursday and Friday lunches can be busy, but they can handle a crowd with grace. There are $20 lunchtime specials, plus the fancier items. Drinks are reasonably priced. The staff brought water to the table, but we had to go to the counter to order....The customers tended to be groups of retired people and families with young children, who were a bit noisy in the play room. Our food was mostly acceptable, although a couple did complain that their food had cooled between the kitchen and the table.More

Really lovely to be able to have lunch with a friend. The duck spring rolls , Greek lamb salad , fish and chips and New York Cheesecake were all excellent. We appreciated the friendly and efficient service and the use of Covid Safe practices.

The nice beer on tap made this a pretty decent place. It's still basically a railway pub, which means that it really isn't all that fancy. I wouldn't get off the train here for a beer though, since the trains don't go past all that...often, even if they stop.More

Worst experience! Called at 11.20am and spoke to a guy to book a table outdoors at 5.30pm. Confirmed the day and time, took my name and phone number. Arrived at 5.15pm only to be told they are closing and that it wasn’t possible to have...made a booking. Did a phone redial from my call history and the phone rang at the bar. Guy guy at the bar was rude. Greeted me by saying ‘last drink for the day’! Was a regular here but no longer. Plenty of pubs around the area who value their customers, especially these days.More

What a great pub, fairly local to us but never considered going earlier. There is something for everyone with extensive menu suiting all tastes and budgets. It was a birthday celebration for us. We had the Greek Platter and Seafood Plate for one. Other were...outstanding quality, fresh, tasty and well presented. At $40 plus a plate it was certainly at the upper end of the scale for a pub meal but worth it. Other food coming out looked great. Plenty of staff who were polite and attentive. Only complaint was the heating didn't kick in until half way through the meal, however our booking was an early lunch. We'll defiantly be back and could recommend this pub highly enough. Can't wait to try the Beer Garden when the weather warms up a little.More

On all our visits over the past 14 years - we have found this Local Hotel to have good atmosphere with friendly staff. The food & service is great. They also on occasions have special day/night functions with great sounding bands. Wide ride of selection...on menus. In winter there is always a welcoming open fire to keep you cosy too. This places caters for all singles / casual / family & friends. Good play area for kids.More

The food here is expensive for a pub however is very good. The staff are excellent. The kids playroom & lazy parents destroy what would otherwise be a great place to eat. We've eaten here twice now but never again. It is both painful to...listen to kids scream at the top of their voice and spend money for the privilege... Never again.More

Being Mothers’ day this place was packed and we were lucky to get a table here for Sunday lunch. Excellent food - all of our party ordered the pork belly roast and it was delicious. Nice atmosphere and good service. I would like to come...back when it a little less crowded but it’s still 5 stars from me.More

What a yummy place to eat and quick service. I recommend any one going to this country pub. We shared a large seafood for 2 and struggled to get through it as there was so much on the plate.

Have been staying in Riddells Creek and have been lucky enough to go to this absolutely great Hotel on 3 occasions 1st was for my husbands 60th and the other timed to meet friends we hadn’t seen for a very very long time. The staff...firstly are very friendly and nothing was too much trouble and they made everyone feel welcome with politeness and obviously take pride in their service. The food was beautiful and well presented and cooked to perfection on every dish that we tried, popular amongst guests was the Greek Platter which was scrumptious. Flathead fishtails was really nice too. For my husbands birthday I was offered for a small fee a birthday cake cooked on-site and brought out with candles. It included the serving and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. You can bring your own cake for a small per head serving charge which is perfectly reasonable but not required as their cake was scrumptious and we took some home to consume later. I truly recommend a visit to the Riddells Creek Hotel even if you are staying in other places in the Macedon Ranges the menu is extensive and not a bad or mediocre dish was served. ( we are ex residents of the MR) Do book a table even on a Tuesday it was very busy. Thank you Riddells Creek Hotel see you again on our next visit from Hervey Bay Qld Ps we stayed each time until the hotel closed.More
