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.

Seriously the best rump steak I have had in years. Randomly selected ribs and burgers, the rocks for dinner and am so glad we did. Nice facilities, great meals and friendly staff, but an amazing rump steak! Can’t wait to eat here again.

They claim to have vegetarian / vegan and gluten-free options in which the taste is not compromised but the cheffs did not even understand what dairy means. I got served with a burger which only included a bun, a patty, one tea spoon of mustard...and a couple of small onion slices (when it should have included three more incredients). I had to ask them twice to add even some sauce that the burger would not be so dry. The quality was similar to McDonalds, just more expensive.More

Went for a walk on George Street with my family and we found this nice burger place. We ordered the Butcher's Original, and we were delighted. The meat was really good Aussie beef and the sauce was delicious. I personally recommend this restaurant!

Both the wagyu burger and the pork ribs are the bomb. Highly recommended. A very nice place for families to have a lunch under the weekend afternoon sun. The rock is also a bustling place to go during weekends. Definitely nice place to chill, eat...and just enjoy the afternoon.More

We were here with friends and selected this restaurant because they had some outside seating. We were seated at a picnic table which was fine. The menu choices are extensive so there was certainly something for everybody. We chose items more on the pub side...and all was good. Service was prompt and friendly. Our orders arrived in good time. We would return again.More

Lovely location in the rocks with water views. Enjoyed a lemon and herb chicken burger and a gin (as you do!) Friends added ribs to their burgers, and the left overs came home and satisfied the ones who missed lunch.

Was excited for this burger but it had wayyy to much mustard, was not very thick for the size of the bun and the sweet potato fries were excessively salty. Not good value for money.

A restaurant with excellent service, amazing food and very good location. The burgers are the best I've ever had. The spices they use are so tasty. The service is both friendly and efficient. Cost is very reasonable. Location in the Rocks is central to lovely...tourist areas.More

Sat outside and ordered on the app. Had half baby back ribs, chips and cabbage salad which was awesome with the ribs. Should have ordered the full rack but didn’t want to fall asleep during my SOH show. The Byron Bay larger was also nice....Only saw staff when they dropped off my food/beers and they were polite both timesMore

The spicy chicken sandwich is amazing (sauces on the side). The french fries were also tasty, warm and delicious. Unfortunately, my friend said her burger was dry. Also, the service left a lot to be desired. Customers order and pay using a QR code on...each table; this means if you need something after you food is delivered, you will not get it without getting up or flagging someone down yourself. My friend never got the second drink she wanted.More

When we attended, they had beers for sale. I didn't see bottles of wine but they would have glasses as they sell a number of other beverages.
