Went on a Saturday night with my son as he wanted pub grub. We had the Irish sausages and mash and the chicken parmigiana stack, both were huge meals. The snags were bursting with flavour and were a definate highlight. Someone mentioned the drinks are expensive, I would not disagree, but most places in OZ are expensive for drinks and... More

I'm a solo traveler from the States. I was having a great night tonight prior to stopping by Waxy's. I started at a beautiful Italian spot around the corner with amazing live music. After 2 glasses of wine and dinner, I decided to move on. Being from Hawaii, I crave live music (we don't have much) so I decided to... More

Whilst visiting Surfers for a holiday we called into Waxys for lunch, They have a $2 steak special ($2 extra for sauce, chips, salad). So for a total of $8, a nice peice of steak, with all the sides. Couple that with ice cold beers and you have a winner.

Can't say i was too impressed with the food but the decor was lovely. Was a tad too humid inside as the air conditioning didn't seem to be working or wasn't turned on. The staff were absolutely lovely and kept the floors and tables clean as soon as patrons leave

Have been a regular here for many years, but unfortunately of late the staff are becoming obnoxious and in attentive. It's one thing to be busy on a Sunday night with their $2 steak special, but waiting an hour for only a side of fries is ridiculous, and when I went to check on them I was met with flat... More

We love waxys from the atmosphere to the food we just love the place. We esp love $2 steaks on Sundays with chicken salt chips. There's always a good crowd there and has a true Irish feel to it

Good venue with good music & good food but the price of drinks are pretty excessive & I am certainly not a tight a@#.... As I spent most nights I was in Surfers there.

We've been here twice. The first time the food was good and the service friendly. The second time the staff were in attentive, we had to wait an hour for our meals and they were horrible.
