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.

We arrived at 12pm for a booked lunch on a very rainy day but found that it was freezing inside. All doors and some windows were open, there was no background music, heating or coziness. The dining room chairs were cold to sit on. It was dark in there so some lamps would have added a nice glow.
It’s a shame that you have to order at the bar, also collect your cutlery at the bar and fill a glass with water at the bar.
There seemed to be plenty of staff. Three in total so table service would have been nice. We would have appreciated if someone could have brought over bottled water, cutlery and taken our order just to acknowledge that we were there. There was no salt or pepper on the table.
We ordered a Schnitzel and chips for $23 but it came with no salad which was disappointing. An adults Chicken Parma came with no salad also. The chips had a beautiful crunch though. The kids burger was a good size and came with a good amount of chips.
The staff were lovely, the food was nice but I think we were expecting a little more in the beautiful town of Yackandandah. On such a miserable day, it’s the little things that would have made a difference.

We stayed a night in the lovely town of Yackandandah and had booked into the Yackandandah Hotel for dinner. We had read the meal reviews and they were all good. So it had been a very hot day and evening. We wandered in and were seated in the beer garden area, the area had a cooling water mist coming from the ceiling happening which was appreciated. So we decided on our meals, Entree was a garlic herb roll, and I have to say it was great, warm and loaded with the garlic etc. So happy with that $9.90. (although bread and butter plates for both of us would have been good) then we ordered our mains which were the Chicken Kiev ($24.90) for me and a veggie stir fry ($15.90) for my wife. The Kiev was ordered with Mash potato and veggies. So it came out and the veggies consisted of three slivers of carrot, three small pieces of broccoli and three pieces of zucchini. (refer to photo) That's what is called veggies? The mash was hard and both tasted and looked like it had been warmed up a few times,. The Kiev itself was dry unfortunately and just didn't taste nice at all. For $25.00 I was expecting a bit better. Very disappointed with that after all the good reports. My wife's veggie stir fry was ok. Cold beer was good and the service from the ladies was also good. Just the meal really let them down.

Two Pubs in town - Only this one serves salads or veges as a part of the meal without having to pay extra.!!
This pub gives great friendly service. Meal portions are good in size and prices very reasonable. They do not go out of their way to be unique or different, but provide good quality down to earth value Aussie meals.
When you order your preferred meat dish, you have a choice of salad and chips or cooked veges,,, what a pleasant experience compared to the other pub in town who do not serve veges of any kind with your meat unless you ask for it, then you pay more.

Lots of food choices. Meals were quick to come out but most of us weren’t impressed by the meals. Would not recommend. Meals not as described. I had fettuccine carbonara without bacon. Came out with veggies instead which I didn’t request. Someone else got Overcooked chicken Kiev. Sticky date pudding inedible as dry

We visited this restaurant on a busy Easter Sunday so were grateful to get a table and prompt courteous service. The servings were large and tasty - a salad and a burger - accompanied by long, ice cold lemon lime and bitters. So we were very happy with our choice.

Miserable weather on a recent Sunday morning, meant a later than usual start to our day. We decided to go out for breakfast and visit one of our local hotels. We arrived about 10.30am to find a few people enjoying the cozy wood fire in the front bar and were warmly greeted by both the owner and staff, who gave us the option of either a bar or dining room table. As the dining room was a tad quieter, we chose the latter but still enjoyed the wood fire in there. We looked over the extensive menu and chose the Bacon Benedict with a Hash Brown upgrade and the Chorizo, Poached Eggs and Beans with a bacon side. Our usual large and double shot Lattes were also ordered and I warmed myself on return from the main bar. Our coffees arrived piping hot and were delicious. Even though they were still quite busy, our meals arrived in good time and were both of a generous size and delicious. My Bacon Benedict was served on a fresh bagel, accompanied by mushrooms, wilted greens and a small, freshly made salad. The eggs were poached to perfection. My wife’s Chorizo and Beans was reportedly very nice (I’m not a fan of beans so I had to take her word for this!) We have been to this pub plenty of times for dinner but this is the first and definitely not the last time we will have brekkie here and we’ll certainly be recommending it to our friends as well.

As I was going to be away all weekend, I decided tonight would be Date Night and took my wife out for dinner. We were warmly greeted at the bar and promptly shown to our table and given menus. There are enough choices to satisfy the most discerning diners including those with special dietary requirements or choices. We chose the Scotch Fillet steak with salad and the Beer Battered Flathead Tails with chips and salad. Both arrived in good time and were well presented and delicious. My wife prefers her meat rare and the steak was perfectly cooked and very tender. The fish was lovely, a generous serve with fresh salad and perfectly cooked chips. Friendly, attentive staff, lovely surroundings and great bar service. We are so happy this pub is in our home town. Well worth a visit if you’re in Yackandandah.

Wow wow wow, amazing. Delightful I could go on. Service was amazing. Treating my elderly nan like the queen ❤️❤️.As she struggles with every day life. I was able to bring my dog in which they very kindly asked to leave the premises and make sure it was on a leash. I can’t stress it enough if you are in town to head down to the pub. Defiantly not the top pub make sure you head down to the bottom. Thank you yack pub. ❤️❤️

The pub was super busy when we visited on the Friday night.
Make sure you have your booking in advance for busy period.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
They served food as well as alcohol because this pub is quiet popular.
We waited for a long time but the food was delicious

I ate here last November with a group. The publican was very friendly and helpful.
I decided to eat the Thai beef salad, and was very disappointed. There was plenty of meat, but much of it was grisly and tough. The salad part was completely lacking. There was so little of anything, for instance cherry tomatoes were cut in half and there were 3, hence a total of one and a half cherry tomatoes. The rest of the salad was as stingy, and I noted my friends meals had side salads that were more generous. Pretty lousy when it cost me almost $25.
As I am a local , I will be back to give them a second chance, but may be a while.

I’m Covid times it’s a credit to these pubs who with reduced staff and patrons serve up delicious food. This is no exception here. Great Parma’s to die for and lamb shanks that fell off the bone. Great service. Great space with open fire all managed in a timely fashion .

Went here with a large group on a holiday weekend. Very busy and limited staff. Told upfront service would be slow due to this and explained how it would work. All worked to plan and because we knew we were happy. Very friendly staff who were helpful and obliging. Food was good wholesome pub food well cooked and plated. All our group enjoyed what they had ordered. 1 chef cooked about 270 meals for the day. Our group a shed for the chef to come out, which he did when he could and gave him right a round of applause. Personally would like to see a wider range of beers on tap but maybe that may not be economic for them.

Friendly country pub popular with locals, had a 'Cheers" feeling to it. Large list on food menu and includes typical pub meals. Ok wine selection. Indoor and outdoor, plus pavement seating.
