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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Hi 842raew, thanks for visiting and we're sorry your experience wasn't up to our usual high standards. Our bistro staff hadn't started their shift for the day to restock after cleaning the cake fridge the night before.

I had Afternoon Tea here with Denise on Tuesday 28th March 2023 and we both had the Churros, which was cooked to perfection also we really enjoyed it but I would recommend getting them from the Rosstown Hotel in Carnegie since they are much bigger...and you get more for your money.More

Nice little club but just don’t order the lambs fry as it has a weird and unpleasant taste. Also pick a night when it’s not raffle night as the endless and very loud calling out of winning numbers is extremely annoying.More

Haven’t been to the RSL for around 2 years, decided to head in on New Years Eve for a change with the Family, the visit was mainly based on trying the revamped menu, we were greeted friendly at the front door needing to comply with...the COVID Regis which was good to see, signed in and promptly seated to out table, greeted by a friendly balloon tying guy who entertained the kids for a few minutes….. Meals were very well priced prompt to the able and extremely generous( most couldn’t get it all in) across all our meals, Fisherman’s Catch, Parma, Stir Fry and the Grilled Barra, everything was spot on, I also had a couple of chicken dim sims for entree which were home made and surprisingly tasty( although I did laugh a little at the jug of sweet chilli sauce!!!) I think we will certainly be back and try a Brekky and a lunch at some stage as well, and more than likely head back for another family feed, Had some country music on offer as well, which was an added bonus on the night, overall really enjoyed the whole evening.More

Big Parmi's is exactly that. Big meal with chips, unfortunately I'd say the chicken comes in pre crumbed and tastes a lot like the ones you get at Woolies. In saying that the meals are good and large, service is friendly, drink prices are average....Worth coming to. Only issue is trying to get staff to understand you whilst wearing masks.More

Very impressive RSL. Reasonably priced drinks, nice decor and great facilities, this place is well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

.. Visiting Bendigo from interstate we booked in for a meal on New Years Eve .. A great decision as we had a absolutely beautiful meal. They were reasonably priced & we were served by friendly staff in a very timely manner (even though there...were many diners, being NYE) Everyone’s meal was delicious & plentiful and I have to say my Mongolian Beef stir fry was the best I have ever eaten. Would recommend the Bendigo RSL to anyone looking for a mouth watering meal ..More

Made an infrequent visit for lunch on NYE. I had the whiting fillets. Couldn't help but feel it was industrially prepared fish. A bit dry and lifeless as were the chips. Salad was ok. At least their winelist has been somewhat updated with a better...selection of reds. Perhaps something like the RSL burger would have been a better choice - at least it looked largely assembled on the premises. As a venue ro relax and have a drink, it still rates as a pretty good place to go to.More
