Great value for money food and very nice atmosphere. Make sure you have a look around the premises. Close to bus if you are coming from Cairns CBD.

Great quality food, HUGE portions, great atmosphere, (I have a few pictures). Cheap prices and friendly staff. Did I miss something ? Well, waiting time is about 20-30 minutes, in spite of the fact that this restaurants has many seats, insite and outsite. I was there thuesday evening around 07.00 PM. To me it looks like a local restaurant, not... More

Overall the food was very average. I had the Cajun fish, which came with a small salad and a mound of chips . The fish was very small too, service was very random, with 3 of us well into our meals before the 4th arrived, his had actually been forgotten altogether. Most plates on other tables were left with food... More

Had the misfortune of dining here with a group for a birthday celebration. The food here is revolting if you are interested in eating food with flavour that tastes like real food. I had a Chicken Parmigiana and it tasted like fish. I'm sure it was cooked in the same oil. Another in our group ordered chicken schnitzel and it... More

This place is your standard pub grub for sure I had the ribs which were lovely and my other dining friends had the palmy , Kiev and spaghetti bolognaise....all pretty bland We were all very surprised at the size of the meals .... Way way to large we ended up leaving at least half of our food on the plates... More

This is often our weekend value for money meal. Amazing sized meals, I hate to think of what the wastage would be like! I usually order a Chicken Parmigiana - The Parmy is MASSIVE, we always call it the Cassowary Parmy, I do think it needs some Pineapple on top as the Salsa can be quite rich, but each to... More

This is the first restaurant we visited in Cairns after we landed. Tired and hungry, we literally wanted food. If you're that hungry, anything should taste good right? Well not really. The food served was the usual pub grub, but of very quality. Fried chicken with chips and frozen salad served with rich, thick, sickly gravy. The locals recommended it... More

The only thing you don't have to do is cook the food yourself. Poor service, screaming kids, loud live music while you are eating. Not very nice tasting food. Veggies were frozen mixed. Roast pork was chewy and not cooked properly.Will never eat there again.

We arrived late on Saturday night and were looking for a family friendly placw to which we could have dinner as a family. We did not want something too expensive and it needed to have a reasonable range of adult and child meals. We found the meals great value and large portions. The service was very prompt.
