The food was good. I wasn't sure what a prawn cutlet was, but it was basically crumbed shrimp. They substituted seasonal veggies for the chips and they were delicious--green beans, carrots, and broccolini. The salad was refreshing, the shrimp crunchy and hot. We ordered at a counter and they brought the food when it was ready. I'd go again. read more

Nice venue, great older stylings for a pub. Menu is a little lean on choice but food is of decent standard. A little overpriced maybe depending on perspective. For lunch it was quiet which is nice if your looking for the space. Would I recommend it? Is nicer than outback jacks at Maitland so.... read more

Imperial - Has a nice feel, suitable for a dinner date. - Hotels Near Me - Maitland, NSW

The food was expensive and the portions small, the quality was passable, but don't come for the food. The atmosphere was great, with a view of the river from the balcony. Come with friends, set aside an hour or two, and enjoy the company. I had the scotch fillet burger, which was bad, but the Irish lamb stew was perfect, and the salt'n'pepper squid was good. read more

Top pub food! You're paying a bit more than the other local pubs but it is worth it as you're guaranteed a good meal and if it's not quite right, just let them know. The imperial chicken and surf and turf are regular favourites and I also recommend the crispy skinned salmon. Reservations on weekend essential- ask for a booth if adults. They also have family, group and verandah/balcony seating areas. read more

One of the better pubs in Maitland. Magners on tap, good for those cider lovers like me. Good atmosphere.
