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.

This spot is awesome in the centre of town, portions are large and the food is of good quality for the price. Pick of the menu was the steak sandwich, perfect in every way and the ginger beer was also sublime. Great place to eat...relax and chill out.More

Had a fab meal here to celebrate my husband’s birthday got there before the time we had booked and it was not a problem sat at the table we had booked and ordered our food after having a drink. Food was fantastic but the portions...are massive so to be quite honest we could have shared the starters and main courses. Staff were great and so many of them that you were not left sitting waiting.However if you want to have a bit of a break after your starters just ask them otherwise there is not any respite between courses. Great atmosphere family friendly restaurant.Well done to all that work there you work extremely hard but because of this you have made it the success that it is .More

Been here forever and you know what you will get every time. Would’ve visited a dozen times and not had a bad meal yet. Can be busy but parking generally available and lots of tables. Need to order separately at the bar for food and...drinks, but staff always friendly and helpful. On this occasion bar staff helped me take all the drinks to our table. Old bar type decor but always clean plus the range of food / drinks is always good. The BLTs where huge, fresh and perfectly cooked. The last visit was probably our best, with the food and service top notch. Thanks for a great experienceMore

A small group of friends looking for somewhere cool on a hot day. Outside seating at the bistro. Thick green artificial turf, sun shades everywhere, fans and this was our spot! Drinks and food reasonably well priced. Meals ordered and delivered by very friendly, attentive...staff who were super busy. We had a fussy eater amongst us and he praised his meal (bangers and mash) over and over. Well done team! Happy to recommend 💥More

Weekend down in Margaret River. Both nights going to settlers tavern for dinner. Night one food was fantastic with customer service good. Night two the customer service was on point. Unfortunately one of the steaks wasn't cooked to request but was still ok. The wait...staff asked after our meal, we told them, and the manager was onto it straight away. 10/10 for customer service.More

We visited twice on our visit to Margaret River as it was close and had a good menu range. The food was good, especially the Pablo crumbed whiting, the steak was average and the lamb ribs were very fatty with an overpowering sauce. The service...was excellent, well orchestrated and friendly. The meals were large. A good place for dinner.More

We visited the tavern for dinner on a Sunday night. The smoker was going the music was going and it was lively. Very busy and continuous stream of people coming in. We had a couple of the brisket options. Hugely tender meat but not really...full of meaty flavor which was unusual nonetheless the meal was enjoyable. The stand out was their huge non alcoholic drinks menu. I had a non alc g and t it was fine.More

It's a Great looking venue with a good choice of beer on tap. The food is less than satisfactory, at least my meal was. Ordered a Joy Burger, and it arrived real quick. It was so quick because it was not cooked properly. The paddy...was cold in the centre. The bun was half toasted and had a piece of lettuce thrown on it. To their credit, I was refunded. But the manager tried to dismiss my complaint. Its funny how they dont like complaints about their food or service, as if it never happens. The best outcome for me was that I left town the next day.More
