To be fair there was a Lee Kernagan concert on so it was a little busy which normally would be fine. We ordered at 6.30pm and after an hour and a half of patiently waiting on enquired to be rudely told we are busy. I waited another 20 minutes to witness people getting their food after only waiting 30 minutes as I asked them how long. I told the waitress to be rudely told it depends what we ordered as we ordered steak. This young lady was so rude: We waited another 20 minutes for our meals to come out which was cold. Steak was cold, Veges weee cold, Never again will we eat here as it’s just terrible with militarisation and the staff did mot care.
The Great Western HotelResponded on June 9, 2025
We’re very sorry to hear that your visit did not meet expectations, especially during what should have been an enjoyable evening. While we were busier than usual with the concert, that is no excuse for the delays, the condition of your meals, or how you were treated. This is absolutely not the standard of service we strive to provide, and we are deeply disappointed to hear this was your experience. We would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly so we can better understand what happened and discuss this with our team. Please reach out to us privately via message or by emailing to discuss further.

We stopped here as Google had it as a bucket list location. The good was awful. Ordered medium steak it was rare and dry. Barramundi skin was uneatable, usually my husbands fav. We had 1 child with us and his meal came 20mins before ours, we were not advised of this when ordering. We also booked online and they were unable to find our booking. Desserts are pre made cakes not made in house which is a disappointment. Maybe if an event is on the place is more, but would not return or recommend.

Was not informed of my booking being moved from outside to inside the restaurant which is fine but I believe I should of been informed and was also told there would be entertainment for the kids but there was none. Other than that the food and drinks were amazing same as the staff as always!

We hosted my fiance's birthday surprise birthday party, the staff were amazingly helpful, arranging everything for us including a place for the cake to hide until dessert and nothing was too much trouble. Our meals were all amazing and perfectly cooked, everyone had a wonderful dinner, followed by cake which they were more than happy to serve with no extra charge. Highly recommend for a dinner venue (and try the scallops and chorizo starter, you will not be disappointed, they were among the best scallops I've ever eaten)

Great value for money with $15 lunch specials. The steak sandwich was delicious. Ambience could use a bit of improvement with upgrading of the flooring in outdoor area. Presents a little shabby. Food is great and great value for money!
