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.

Gluten Free!

Feb 2020 • couples

I ordered a blt on a Gf bun, with a side of chips. The cashier informed me the chips aren’t gluten free as they’re done in the same frier, no problem I thought, boyfriend will surely eat them! Only later to have the cook come out and talk to me personally to see my level of intolerance (informing her I’m coeliac), she changed the sauce and started again. May seem little to others but I’m sure other Coeliacs will understand this was comforting to know! Also had the Gf brownie, and oh my GOODNESS! Delicious!

breakfast

Jan 2020 • friends

Had a classic breakfast which was gratefully received after a flight over from the UK. The meal was cooked to perfection with what was on the plate delicious and full of taste! The crowning glory we’re the poached eggs which were perfect! The poor lass was rushed off her feet which lead to her having to make us wait. Bit of a petrolhead hang out which adds character to the place

Neat cafe at top of Mt Glorious

Aug 2023 • couples

Pleasant cafe at the top of Mt Glorious, decor inside and out looked very retro American diner. An obvious popular stop for flash cars and motorcycles. Stopped for morning coffee and muffins which were very nice. Staff attentive and friendly. Order brought out to us quite quickly. Quickly perused menu, appears a good selection. Im not particularly a fussy eater but probably not a place if you have dietary restrictions or lifestyle eating choices (eg vegan).

Atrocious customer service

June 2020 • friends

If you buy a coffee, you can't sit down. If you buy a coffee and a pastry, you still.can't sit down. Even when there are only 2 people inside the cafe. But at least, say it kindly, not barking. They dont seem to understand service here. Coffee lid wasnt put on properly so my friend had coffee running down him. When I went to grab some serviettes and (laughingly) told the woman what had happened, she was very defensive and unpleasant. She must have gotten out on the wrong side of bed. Either that, or she should be working in positions that have no customer contact. Won't be going back, as coffee was only average.

Great Mt Glorious Coffee

Dec 2021 • none

This coffee shop/cafe is the hub of Mt Glorious, the service great and the food very tasty with generous servings. The staff were very keen to offer the best service with nothing too much trouble. Picturesque setting and very popular especially with the biking fraternity. Well worth the drive and the stop.

Bikers Paradise, Great Food and Coffee

Apr 2022 • couples

We were travelling through Mount Glorious on a Sunday and decided to have breakfast at the cafe. There were so many bike riders at the cafe. Enjoying the sunny day and the tight winding roads they were taking a break at the cafe. We sat inside and ordered coffee and a Bacon and Egg Wraps The coffees were excellent as were the wraps. With so many people at the cafe it was really well organised and the staff were efficient and friendly.

Made to eat in the rain

Jan 2022 • family

I wanted to take my 10 year old daughter out for a drive and a bite to eat so we decided to go to the Mt Glorius cafe. It’s Facebook page indicated it was open until 3pm. I rang ahead and was told the kitchen closed at 2pm. We arrived at 1.50pm and ordered some food. We then proceeded to the indoor seated area where several people were seated to then be told the indoor area closed at 1.30pm. It was raining outside but we were still made to eat our food outside. While the outside tables had umbrellas, they did not stop the tables and seats from getting wet and my daughter had to finish her meal in the car. The only assistance we were offered was a cloth to wipe the seats. Because we were hungry we persevered. Very disappointed!!!

Bikie cafe in the mountains

Nov 2022 • solo

I stopped by for lunch (beef burger & chips) & a coffee after doing a hike up at Mt Glorious (Piper Comanche plane wreck). Mt Glorious cafe is in a gorgeous mountain setting & the food was decent & served quickly. The menu was limited/generic but suited my needs. There were lots of bikies there with their motorbikes. It’s clearly a magnet for bikies and car lovers as the decor inside (Harley Davidson signs, hot rod posters, even a miniature model plane hanging from the ceiling) is designed to appeal to rev heads. All in all this is an interesting cafe - I didn’t see any other cafes up at Mt Glorious so I am I will be back here in the future.

Excellent

Jan 2020 • none

I recently stopped here with my family and during a solo ride. On previous drives, it has been packed and it is obviously very popular. A great café to stop at during your ride/drive. The food is great, the coffee one of the best I've had and service is quick and friendly.

Worse management

Aug 2024 • family

There was smelling at this restaurant and it’s not allowed to sit inside after 2pm. The food is ok but there is not any basic customer service or table cleaning. It’s not staff’s fault but bad management for sure.

Bikers diner

June 2022 • couples

A true bikers diner. Portions were generous, but the menu limited if you have dietary requirements. Friendly staff and quick service though. Nothing special otherwise.

Terrible customer service

Oct 2020 • friends

Visited cafe last week ... menu was rather limited. I asked the young lady at counter what the vegetarian burger was made of. She asked if I had an allergy.... I replied I was on a keto diet and wanted to know what the pattie was made of. She was lively and went to ask chef..... I then hear at fall ball.... IM NOT COUNTING HER KETO POINTS .... then young lady came.out and said... im sorry I don't know what is in it... she was embarrassed. I simply asked what is was made off... was it that hard. Wont be going back.

Great Atmostphere

Apr 2019 • none

I had never been here before yet my husband has been many times. It's a great place to stop for some good food, lovely coffee and great service. The staff are very friendly and if you love motor bikes, it's great place to catch up with other bikers.

It was over 30 years between my visits to this Café and nothing much has changed - which is a positive thing! Great location, friendly staff, interesting people coming and going, clearly a favourite with passing bikers, good menu and reasonably priced.
