   brisket Basket - nice flavour, lukewarm on arrival, not a fan of 2 pickled vegetables and 'slaw;, 'straw' chips pick-up with fingers only as very 'crispy'! Chicken basket good, ditto pickles etc Chicken & mushroom Pappardelle excellent. Brisket Nachos good although appeared pre-prepared as ALL cheese was at bottom of plate? 'Watery' at end of meal. Rusty Burger - excellent. The 15% PH surcharge increased the cost significantly and reduced the "value for money' factor.

   This restaurant catered for 10 people and we absolutely enjoyed ourselves. Food and drink came out fast and they were very accommodating in looking after a cake for my partner's birthday. The waiters were fantastic and very friendly. Absolutely loved the night and would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

   We have visited the restaurant a few times and really enjoy it! Our most recent experience was the same. The only difference this experience was the fact that we had our baby with us with a stroller and I felt as though at the time the employees reserved our table, they didn’t really take that into account as we arrived and were seated somewhat in the centre off to the side in the restaurant and it was a little difficult to navigate the stroller through all the tables and chairs to get to ours. Other than that, it was great!

    Bit disappointing. Has dined in and takeaway several times before bringing a big group here for partners birthday. Booked weeks in advance only to find out on the day an American bbq restaurant had no brisket (on a Saturday). Food was average. Of course had to be when we brought all our family here. Wagyu rump was really chewy and got partner a birthday drink, only to taste and agree it hardly had any alcohol in it. Requested for birthday dessert which most places do depending on the venue and how much you spend. Not accommodated and told day of. Our table spent over $500 for sub par food, gals who travelled an hour and were looking forward to brisket. We previously raved about their fried chicken and burgers, (which were amazing on multiple occasions). Hope they can do better next time when bringing a large group. Overall experience was not what we expected.
