It was about 6pm on a Friday night and when we were greeted we were asked if we'd made reservations which we hadn't - I overheard another employee telling some patrons this particular night has been fully booked for two weeks. Luckily they found a table for us and we sat down to browse the menu. There's a pretty huge selection to choose from. I picked an Asian wok noodle dish, and my husband decided on a pulled pork pizza. Both meals were pretty good (I'd give them 3 stars each) and very filling. With drinks our order totaled to about $55 AUD which is considered pretty affordable/average here. The vibe in the restaurant was lively and family-friendly. As we got set to leave, there was even live music starting. Not sure what else is in the area, but as far as food goes, Spotted Dog Tavern is a decent choice for dinner if you're passing through.

I was dragged to the exit of the venue by a bouncer for him to be informed by another bouncer he had "the wrong guy, his striped shirt is different". I received no apology and upon my second time returning to the venue I was subject to similar treatment by a bouncer with slicked back hair and shaved sides, he always wears a suit. This treatment has been echoed by many of my peers in the music industry. This venue is a joke, they also over book gigs so you can barely move so they can sell more tickets. The Client Liason show was disgusting. You couldn't get to the bar at all. Of the 1000+ venues I've been to with music, this place is the worst. Primarily due to the security.

The kids menu was great, healthy chicken and rice with green vegetables. The regular menu was also pretty solid and the food was overall a higher standard than you would expect at a local pub.

They have a club that you can join to get discounts and special members offers and a kids club. The food here is on the high priced side of what I would consider "pub food" but it is worth it for the size meals. There's also kids meals and seniors meal that are a tad smaller. I've been twice now and none of us have had a bad meal here and they always have a specials board with something new to try. If you're looking for somewhere that has nice meals, nice atmosphere and fairly reasonable prices then I'd give this place a go.

WOW WOW WOW! Truly the one word to some up for the food at this restaurant. My partner and I were…read moredriving north several months ago and stopped by Hervey Bay along the route. We already knew Hervey Bay was known for two things - whale watching and the scallops. As we didn't have time to go whale watching we decided to try out the scallops. Nearly every restaurant in Australia that offers scallops mentions that they are from Hervey Bay so we had very high expectations. Keep in mind my partner HATES scallops. So for him to even be trying them was a huge deal. I ordered the Hazelnut Butter Baked while he ordered the Tempura. With no exaggeration these were the BEST scallops I have EVER eaten! My partner even loved them that he ordered a second round. I enjoyed mine more than his but they were both incredible. The hazelnut butter was nothing like Ive ever tasted before. So rich and flavorful. we also got seafood chowder and spring rolls but I would honestly skip those next to tp just get more scallops. Highly recommend this place! However, they get extremely crowded so definitely try and make a reservation. We came right when they opened for dinner so they had a spare outdoor table for us, but it was extremely windy and cold. With a reservation you can get a seat inside which would have been more comfortable.

I'm not saying this is a 5 star resturant in comparison to what you may find say, in Sydney,…read morehowever for Hervey Bay this is one of the best!

We tried to go for dinner on our first night but it was packed out and most people had a reservation. Made a note to reserve, and it was worth it. For breakfast I had the bacon and waffles, and they were great. Excellent waffles, crisp but soft and fluffy and served with maple butter and maple syrup. A couple of days later we went back for dinner and I got wings, the larger size, with ranch. I couldn't eat all of them, massive serving. Hubby got the chicken and waffles, chicken was crisp but the batter/seasoning needed more flavour. We were able to take our leftovers away and they were great the next day too. Would definitely recommend for breakfast, and probably for dinner too, if you book ahead and choose wisely on the menu.
