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.

A budget restaurant always packed but our experience wasn’t good at all .
Staff just seemed like the people they serve were an inconvenience amazing what a smile and seeming like you care goes a long way .
$14 nachos no meat if you wanted that was extra and it was basically just a plate of corn chips with a minuscule amount of sour cream and salsa that’s it . Double beef cheeseburger was bland and all the rest of the family’s meal was just meh . Used to be a great place friendly great meals but it’s far far far from that now

If you’re up for a feed after loosing your money at the pokies or on the tables @ the Casino . The Water Garden is the place to go for a feed . Plenty of selection to choose on the menu & can get an alcoholic beverage. Now if you’re not a big eater get a 1/2 serve for the snittys or prepare to O Dee on food. Gravy sauces are good as well . Chips were fantastic. Now I’ve heard it can be hit & miss . But we all enjoyed.

Took an interstate guest to the Watergarden. We waited over half an hour for meals which should have been able to be served immediately. Overcooked wedges and very dry tough chicken barely warm with a splash of gravy. These had obviously been kept in a warmer until the other two meals were cooked, with the result that two were OK and two were awful. I regularly buy Coles pre-cooked chicken, and it is always properly cooked and moist. I believe the chicken I had died of old age! Chef needs to go back to school.

My husband and I Have ordered Chicken schnitzel and fries the last 2 times we have been there and suddenly the meal has gone down hill. while eating it was very watery and made the meal sloppy. Didn’t enjoy it one bit. The same thing happened with my daughters meal with rissoles and veggies, the mash potatoes were so sloppy it ruined the whole meal for her and she only ate 2 mouthfuls of it.
The quality and service at the watergarden has really gone down hill. The prices have gone up but the products are well and truly below average. Please think twice before paying to eat here as you will waste you money.

My evening meal in the Watergarden was a disappointment. With a name like that I expected a view of at least some water, but it turned out to be a closed-in, sad, unimpressive cafe style eatery with nil ambience and a view to the poker machines. Food was average. I know the Country Club has a couple of other, more upmarket, eateries, but thought the Watergarden would be better than it was. It's not somewhere I would ever go again.

We were staying in house for two nights in two very nice suites so we were travelling up market.
Not being very hungry the four of us decided on a simple meal in the Watergarden Cafe— big mistake!!!
Three of us ordered the fisherman’s basket— overcooked dry fish prawn scallops and chips— lived up to their name dry as chips— almost inedible but that description was reserved for my wife’s Calamari. Looked quite good in its bowl of salad but was ALMOST RAW— I tried some of it and as it was so chewy I had a look at the remaining piece on my plate— uncooked in the extreme.We told the staff,they had a look and offered a replacement dish or money—we took the money back.
They also offered my wife a glass of soft drink— as the ultimate irony it was a post mix drink and totally flat.
To finish the night I lost my shirt on the pokies, oh woe is me LOL- you have to laugh I guess
Do yourself a favour if visiting the casino— either dine in the upmarket restaurant or bring a sandwich
Real shame as our rooms were really great

Over the last 12 months we have had quite a number of meals at the Watergarden. Always enjoyed chichen snitzel & parmis. Went again Thursday night & were very dissappointed. Chicken was tough & stringy on both meals & chips very ordinary. Whats happened???

Staff were friendly. Menu had a good selection. I had crumbed pork belly with asian salad. Wasn't too oily as I think it was deep fried. The salad was nice but a tad too much dressing. My cousin just had the soup of the day which she said was really nice, chicken and corn. Place was clean.

Nice cafe style dining in the casino area of the hotel of the country club. Prices are probably the most affordable for budget conscious at the hotel. Meals were decent sized and nice flavours. Lacks any sort of ambience. Really feels like a food court style eating area than a restaurant. Still worth eating at

Not only was the parmy cheap af, but of the 3 I ate that week from 3 different places, it was the best. Well worth a go if you're a fan of crumbed chook with ham, sauce and cheese smashed on it đź‘Ś

Dined here whilst staying at Country Club villas. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Good variety to choose from. Efficient service. Big servings. Husband had a great mixed grill, I had lasagne. No complaints from us, will be back in the future when next in nearby area.

As we where staying here we thought awesome a quick easy place to eat. Great prices, clean, food was okay but a few of the staff treated us like even taking our order was an effort to the point they yawned and wouldn't smile or look at us but was more than happy to chat to her friend behind us while we still ordered.
