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.

Great food, big portions and good value for money. Big beer selection and nice atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this pub for a easy night out.

Meals were huge, tasted amazing. Best parmi in FNQ as they claim- and I’ve had many in my time. Great atmosphere inside. If only we had more days to come back.

I was looking forward to having dinner here with my partner but we were quite disappointed with our meals & the side salads were horrible. Also found the waitress to be unfriendly & borderline rude. We will never return

Great if you want an enormous meal which is very basic. Not to my taste. My two fillets of reef fish grilled was dense dry and taste less. I had it without chips which was obviously not what to do at the hot chips were...the best part of my son's meal!More

We ordered fish and chips, staff member questioned if we wanted the beer battered fish and chips. It’s the only ones on the menu. We ordered Fish and Chips because nothing else looked appealing. The fish and chips were horrendous - batter was on a...par with a Dagwood dog! Fish was also questionable. Couldn’t wait to get out of thereMore

Always busy this place, have only ate there twice but the amount of people that dine here definitely helps a passer by sell the place and drag you in. Made me realise eating out by yaself is pointless and the only good thing would be...for the girl getting done up and looking the part and having a good feed. Both meals I had I will post in the photos but meat hard a darker colour to it and didn’t seem as fresh and was also more tough then tender and abit dry. Good portion size but more then average overall.More
