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.

Had a meal and drinks here. Overpriced and meal quality was down. Service was great on the night(Tuesday) but surprised us as other visits its seemed as the staff were not trained in hospitality.
Beef Briskit was very average for $36. Drinks pricey as well.

We had visited previously about 18 months ago and had a good experience so though we would return for dinner on a spontaneous weeknight decision. Wasn't very busy, we didn't have a booking but that didn't seem to matter at all. Service was good, we were greeted by a friendly staff member and taken to our seats promptly.
We ordered a starter to share and the "tasting plate" style thing to share, and a bottle of wine. The food was 50/50, steak was cooked perfectly which was the best part about it. The chicken wings were alright, the ribs were unfortunately fairly tasteless, needed a sauce with a bit more of a kick or something, we have cooked better ones at home sadly.
All up came to $160 which for the quality of food that we got, seemed a bit to expensive. Next time we will probably just visit a local pub as not worth the extra $$. Maybe time to change the menu a bit?

The electronic menus can be challenging if one has not used one before. Why do they need to do that? A steak was done OK with a nice bit of salad and a side of roasted potatoes. A brisket plate had some very nice onion rings, good slaw, and some salad but the brisket itself seemed like Woolies boxed brisket after being microwaved, not even baked. Dry and somewhat tough. The Woolies prepack usually comes out tender and somewhat moist. If you stop try a burger or steak. Ambiance attempts to mimic an American BBQ house; comparing the food to one is a miss. Service was attentive and helpful.

Very disappointed. To begin with a rum based cocktail that tasted and looked like a glass of cordial followed by very expensive cheese on toast blaaahh
Water for our table please 😉 an old plastic beer jug (foggy) of water blaaahh
STEAK the menu online sells us a 500gram rib eye steak on the bone for $52 - the actual menu in house has a 400gram rib eye which is actually a 300gram rib eye 🤔
Chefs triple cooked hand cut potatoes No words really blaaah
Pork ribs were good 👍
Mismatched unattractive plates
Very disappointed since the last time we ate here
I would definitely head to a good pub next time OR dine at home and invite 6 friends over for the same price.
Sorry local eatery you disappointed me ❤️🩹

Worst customer service experience I've ever had. The table where we seated did not have a wifi connection which meant the menu/ordering system on the tablets wouldn't work (which was annoying but not too bad). As we tried to order a drink it continually failed with an error message so we gave up for a minute.
Then our drink came! So it was all good but I told the waitress we tried to order it multiple times but we only wanted one so if there's more coming please cancel it.
Then a few minutes she brought it out again. We said we didn't want it so she took it away. It seemed like no problem.
A few minutes later a manager came out insisting we had to pay for it because we ordered it (and we had thought she was coming to give it to us for free and apologise!) We explained the menu system did not work and she replied that we should've gone inside to tell the waitstaff that we didn't want the extra drinks - even though we told our waitress! As we explained this, the manager said it's only her second shift so not her fault and WE needed to pay for it.
The menu system not working and inexperienced staff are things we could overlook to but for the manager to have a go at us and overcharge us ruined our experience.
Surely you don't behave this way to every customer that sits at the table where your wifi/menu ordering system doesn't work?!
A free drink would've solved it and it turned it into a nice experience - it could've been that easy but instead the manager was so aggressive and nasty. Absolutely appalling.
Unbelievably bad service - DO NOT risk going here.

So went here with some Friends. Service from the start was rude, ordered drinks forgot a couple are you sure you ordered them? Yes they are here in the tablet you gave us. She wasn’t happy. Food came out and steaks awful steaks thin and asked for medium was well done when complained she said this is medium and how they are. Friend had a burger said was quite cold. The best was the kangaroo that is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. The battered fish was better than the steak and you are famous for steaks, what a joke. Never go back can make a better steak at hone and cheaper this steak cost $45 for that you expect quality.

We have been twice and this review reflects overall. The first time the steak was so over salted it ruined the meal. This time we waited 45 minutes for our entree chicken wings only for the waitress to give them to a different table. 5 minutes later she apologised to them for the wrong wings and said they would be free whilst totally ignoring us. I had to call her over for her to admit what happened and give a half hearted apology. I went to speak to the senior manager who is much better and told her I would not pay for the spicy wings. (They were not very good either just tomato sauce mixed with tobasco) The fact they charge $6.50 for a tiny garden side salad is a joke and it should be a free optional side served with less of the hand cut potatoes. The prices overall matched with the service do not warrant your time or money.

We dined on New Years Eve, and had a very pleasant surprise! The ambiance was very pleasant, and although quite crowded, was not noisy. The meal and drinks were simply described and ordered on a tablet, and you can access the total bill at any stage. (An interesting feature is that you can call a waiter on the tablet for help at any time!) The menu was extensive.
I had a 250gm blue beef fillett steak ($29.90), cooked to perfection, and "she" had atlantic salmon - also well cooked and presented. Dress was casual. Only thing to watch was orders were not taken after 8pm, and the restaurant closed at 9.30pm. The wine and beer list was comprehensive, and about average price.

We thoroughly enjoyed our family dinner - which included a vegetarian who was catered for and loved her Vegalicious Burger. The pork ribs and the brisket were cooked to perfection. Our meal did not take long to arrive and was presented nicely. Thank you to the chef Michael who did an outstanding job. The restaurant was clean and had a nice vibe, so we will be returning.

Unfortunately my partner and I were very disappointed to be called “steak house” we expected the meat to be cooked as we requested, we ordered 1 rare and 1 medium.
Both cooked through and no pink insight
The service wasn’t friendly at all, rude and abrupt whenever we had a question and we definitely won’t be coming back! We understand that it’s a public holiday but it should be up to scratch any day of the week. Especially when paying a 10% fee on top

Very disappointing.arrived at 6.30 waited until 8 for our meal. Burgers were ok. Wagu steak was tiny with a very few potatoes and no salad. Only a teaspoon of mushroom sauce. I ordered beef short ribs, was so tough I had to get my grandson to cut it off the the bone. At least the drinks arrived promptly. Staff were pleasant. Will not go again.

New menu system is ridiculous. The Manager is a rude obnoxious man.
Do your self a favour and go dine somewhere you are treated like a paying customer should be treated. WITH RESPECT!!
Food expensive and not that great. Ampikas kitchen owned by same. I really liked the food at Ampikas a bit on expensive side. But will not be dining there anymore either.

Had the 350g limestone coast rib eye, although no way of knowing if this is actually where it was from. The steak was small and was mostly sinew, we ordered two but very different sized steaks arrived, cut from different parts of the rib, mine was definitely chuck end. For the price, I could have had better at a restaurant not a half empty badly decorated beer hall. Hate the impersonal order with the tablet approach, I guess it keeps wages down, but it’s a cold approach to an industry known as ‘hospitality’.

We had an excellent dinner at Keg and Barrel. The staff were incredibly friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and checked on throughout the night. Our meals and drinks were brought out promptly. We loved the tablet ordering system, it was incredibly easy to use and place our orders. Our food was perfectly cooked, incredibly tasty and well presented. Will definitely be going back again

Went here for a family celebration but unfortunately left disappointed. Waited a long time for food to come despite the place being less than half full. Of three steaks on our table all were cooked wrongly. One ordered medium was Med rare, 2 ordered med rare were well done. Unsure how a steak house could get it so wrong. Steak only comes with potato wedges & all else is extra. An expensive visit to be disappointed after the experience. Was looking forward to this visit but sadly was disappointed. Will not be back unfortunately. Was was even more disappointing was the lack of concern shown by staff over our experience. Offer of free drinks or similar would’ve helped soften the blow.
