We perform checks on reviews.
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.

We went last night with friends and all enjoyed our chicken schnitzels - they even have a gluten free version which you don’t see very often!
All came with sauces/gravy as ordered and chips/salad. We ordered one with mash/veg which there is a small extra fee for the veg. Veg were a bit over cooked but mash was great.
Atmosphere is a bit blah inside, so we sat out in the beer garden overlooking the ranges watching the storm roll by.
Would definitely eat here again! We felt safe & comfortable both indoors and out, also when leaving in the carpark.
They have different ‘specials’ (or themes, last nights was Asian night) for each night of the week.

Food was perfectly cooked. Even though the kitchen was getting smashed meals didn’t take long to be served. Fantastic play area for the kids. Great seating where you can watch them.

Great place for kids, with great food as well. We ended up eating here 2 days in a row because the food was good, my niece could run around and play, and the cost is reasonable!

The Gillen Club really has become one of the few really safe venues in Alice Springs to go and enjoy a good meal and know that your car is probably pretty safe in the car park, too.
The staff often work under considerable pressure, but they strive to do their best to serve their customers with a smile and that’s a standard that has been proven to work well for them for a long time. The Gillen Club deserves your patronage and the staff will appreciate your support and your respect as they deliver their best customer experience to you.

Rude service by an Asian woman name Taylor who didn't know what peach snaps and antognise customers while trying t o place an order. Two managers at the front was just as rude didnt even give me an incident report both just walked of a third lady walked up and defused the situation and assured me this is the way it always is. There is no point in ungrading your business if your staff are weak rude and untrained

Really could we have picked a worse place to eat. Greasy, grislily I would be amazed if staff had not spat in it before trying to serve it up. If I hadn't paid before hand and went home hungry I might not be so pissed off.

We recently moved back to Alice and this was the first place we went out to donner at and became members immediately. Visitors can sign in if from out of town I believe. Excellent bar, good prices and choice. Food is pub fare but really good and good size meals. Best thing for us with tow kids is the outdoor play area (with undercover seating, fans and huge TV for sports) as well as an inside play area (again with seating and two huge tvs - more sports!) Is always bust, but staff are fast to serve and is always plenty of room for everyone. Has pokies, but they are out of the way and don't disturb your meal.

Worst food I ever had. I ordered a chickpea and pumpkin salad for $23, it was a rip-off, tasteless, tiny cubes of pumpkin.

Constqntly getting humbugged for smokes and food. Hadn't had my meal for 5 minutes before someone wanting to have some of my food. Very different experience from a few years ago, don't bother paying for membership if this is the experience.

A well known eating place in Alice and worth a visit. A step up from the local pub serving a good variety of dishes.

Why not meet the locals at the Gillen Club and enjoy a cold beer & a chat at the newly renovated premisis.

Club has multiple tv's for all sports but refuses to put volume on which given it is football finals time is extremely disappointing so much so they lost my patronage and I went elsewhere to watch and enjoy the games.
Food is above average, staff are quite friendly but not catering to customers because of a minority for a few hours is extremely disappointing.

Always coming into a new place it's always a little hard to know what to order
Happy to say struck a jackpot ordering the lamb chops (with mash & veg)
An excellent hearty meal & I must say the flavour was ✔️🇦🇺💯😃
Well done team - thoroughly recommend!

Experience the difference in the Northern Territory
In the heart of Australia lies the Northern Territory, a region that is so different from any other, it redefines adventure. Here, you'll find nature in its rawest form, where the vast and otherworldly terrains invite exploration and awe. The rich Aboriginal heritage, deeply embedded in the art, music and traditions of the land, offers a profound connection to one of the world's oldest living cultures. It's a place where iconic wildlife roams freely, and every sunset transforms the sky into a canvas of vivid hues. The Northern Territory difference lies in its ability to introduce you to a world where natural beauty and cultural richness converge to create original experiences.
