The food and service was top notch whilst the ambience was notches down. I shall return

The food here was good, but the service was outstanding. Being a last minute person I often am not organised enough to make any occasion really special, as threatened to be the case for my best friend's birthday. Never fear - all I had to do was mention the word 'birthday' to waitress Emily and she was on the case. After dragging me over to the bar and introducing me to bartender Nick, she began gathering her evidence. Could they do a special brownie + sparkler dessert, complete with singing? Well, my BFF is gluten free.... Nevermind, does she like cocktails? Does she like cocktails! The next thing I knew our table was besieged by cosmos, sparklers and singing waitstaff. Then the champagne arrived, and the super sized, gluten free dessert, and the flowers were swept away to the cool room to keep them looking gorgeous throughout the night. Despite being busy, these staff went out of their way to make our night great. And the food was pretty good too! read more

Loved the menu! There was loads of delicious options for breakfast. It's a busy spot though and I can see why. The service was swift and friendly and prices fair. My somewhat fussy 6 year old devoured his kids pancakes and fresh juice - proclaiming it to be the best pancakes in Brisbane.... I can tell you he knows about his pancakes!! Lol. read more

See all

The team enjoyed duck breast, buffalo wings and a burger for the day's proceedings. The buffalo wings had the classic vinegary spicy flavour with an amazing blue cheese sauce, but just didn't have the textural crunch of previous offerings I have had. The duck breast salad hit mostly all the high notes with a juicy and pink inner, yet again there was no crunchy skin in sight. Lastly, the medium cooked burger. This ticked all the boxes; great bun, seasoned pattie, punchy sauce, and a solid side serve of fries. The smoky bacon was a cracker and really set it alight. I'm summary, a decent selection of hunger stoppers with good service. Food 7.5/10 Service 7/10 Decor 7/10 read more

Its a great big space, with both inside and outside dining. Went with a group of 5 just after Christmas for lunch. The menu has a great selection of food and beverages to choose from. We were seated promptly and the place wasn't too busy. We received the menus and a bottle of water soon after we were seated. It was a hot day so that water disappeared quickly between 5 people. However, it took about 30 minutes before someone came over to take our order. That is for both food and drinks. I understand the staff may have been still hungover from Christmas, exhausted or just having an off day. We all have those. The coffee & food made up for it. The coffee is great, because I had two. The one thing I am definitely liking about Brisbane, is the fact the coffee shops have lactose free milk. In Sydney that is rare! No more Soy for me! :) The meals are good sizes. I couldn't even eat all of mine, but then again I don't eat much. The price is reasonable and despite the slow service, I would go back. As I said, we all have our off days. read more

Came here after a big night out, and the blueberry pancakes with bacon were off the chain. Exactly what I was looking for and the pancakes were perfect. Really fresh blueberries and the coffee was excellent too. We didn't have to wait at all to be seated, but this was a Sunday around 10am so maybe not their peak hours. Food came out fairly quickly too, with coffees coming out in a couple of minutes after we ordered so very happy there. Staff were friendly and continually gave us more water, after we finished our first bottle. Food looked amazing and I have no complaints at all! Will definitely be coming again! read more

Blergh! My boyfriend pretty much summed it up. "I don't know how places can take ingredients out of a box, and put it on a plate, and still manage to attract customers. I guess that's Brisbane for you. So disappointing when there are plenty of other great places." My breakfast of truffled scrambled eggs was ok but it's not hard to make truffled eggs taste like truffles. But the Buzz breakfast plate looked gross. As if it had come out of a coffee club kitchen. We had to leave our flat whites full on the table when we left. Or as I thought at the first couple of sips "coffee flavoured milk". read more

Excellent relaxed venue. Very tasty grilled crispy barramundi and choc brownie to die for. Friendly efficient service. Liked it. read more

Buzz Gasworks - Australian Near Me - Newstead, QLD

My Partner and I have been to this place at least 20 times. The atmosphere is nice and quiet, big airy open dining area with nice surrounds - this is the main reason we come here. The other reason is that they are the first cafe to open each morning at GASWORKS. The service will vary greatly depending on who is rostered on. The food also varies greatly depending on the day. Some days you get generous portions and are happy to hand over 15-20 for a meal, other days you're left feeling robbed. The coffee is always nice, just slow to arrive. read more

I love a good breakfast and Buzz is a great place - nice and spacious and you can be there in as a couple or as a big group. Food was very nice, cooked well and there was definitely a lot of it. A good menu but not so overly big that you can't find your way around it. The staff were attentive but not hovering over you. Great place to come for breakfast and I am now looking forward to trying lunch there. read more

Very good breakfast and coffee. The service was friendly and quick. The order before you sit was a little odd but not a huge issue. I had the omelet which was tasty with fresh ingredients and a side of excellent double smoked bacon. I will come again. read more

Ok, catching up with a friend. Decide to try someplace new at the much spoken about 'gasworks' precinct. Here now. Look for a place that seems popular. Have found 'Buzz'. So far worst / most average experience ever! If you hate queue's full stop, you will not feel good hear from the outset. You have to queue for everything! To get a seat, to get a menu and then to order! They're busy, and we're deep in conversation so it's not a big deal the wait on the coffee & when it arrives it's ok. Not great but not bad. I order the eggs benny w bacon & my friend the Pide. Again the wait for the meals is not exceptional but it is long. I rationalise that it is Saturday so the wait's ok. My eggs benny w bacon has no bacon (salmon) and the eggs are hard boiled, or so it seems. I consider sending it back but think better of it, figuring the wait will be longer and not worth the effort. My friends Pide is ok, but again nothing to write home about. Surroundings are pleasant but the service is non existent and the food is simply average at best. We eat and leave. Summary? Self service, slow & poor meal delivery. Priced at restaurant level. In this area there are better to choose from. I won't be back. read more

Just quick breakie, went the breakie burger, not bad little messy. Other had the museli huge could not finish, coffees arrived after food not good. Long line to ordet and pay might be an issue when busy which it started to be, come back ? Prob running back no. read more

Booked early a table of 9 for 1pm and on the windiest day of the year they stuck us outside. Best back up offer was to sit at the counter if we could wait another 15 minutes. We left and spent $658 at another place and we won't be going back . read more

Had a great breakfast there again this morning and while the food was up to its usual high standard the speed of the service had improved considerably. Thanks read more

Their trio dips with freshly baked pizza dough is quiet unique ! it goes just so well with a glass of wine. Pizza is quiet average.. but surprisingly their Pork Belly dish is lovely tho ! read more

Went last night with extended family. We sat outside to the side of the restaurant which was good as we were on our own. The view of the Gasworks Structure was great at night. Service was good but the lack of some menu items was disappointing. There was a dish unavailable from each course (entree, main and dessert). Being a Saturday night, that was really inexcusable for a restaurant. The meals we did get were on the money except that an entree that was ordered by one couple didn't come out till everyone's main arrived. Looking at the other restaurants in the same complex, I won't be going back there in a hurry before trying them out. read more

While the food at the Buzz Restaurants is generally good, the owner has the very annoying habit of making himself 'part of the family' by coming up to the table and interrupting conversations to tell weak jokes or do an unwelcome 'meet and greet', as if he has learnt this in 'How to run a Successful Business 001'. At Buzz at Emporium he even used to sit at the table uninvited and make everyone feel quite uncomfortable. During our last visit I had to tell him that my partner was mid-conversation, when he walked over and loudly exclaimed, "Have you heard the joke about . . .". Unfortunately, he didn't get the message and went straight to another table to try it with them. Yes, he may own the restaurant, and Yes, some patrons might like it, but really, he is gong to lose more customers this way than gain them, my family included. read more

27 mins for toast and jam - don't bother going during breakfast rush as this isn't the first time service has been terrible. Some of the service staff have attitude that shouldn't be in the service industry. read more
