So my partner and I were taken here by Granny Delia while holidaying in Hervey Bay. I don't…read moreusually frequent RSL's, but I had an enjoyable time nonetheless. Starting off by watching an oldy trying to chat up Delia by calling her delicious Delia. The lady from Bolton's still got it apparently. So enough about old people on the pull, lets describe this place. It's typical of a lot of RSL's. It's got a large bar area with the obligatory slot machines for those with a gambling vice. And then you have a snack restaurant area and separate main meals sitting area. You also have to sign in on entry which is mandatory for all RSL's. Obviously the great thing about RSL's is the price of drinks and food is cheap. Hervey Bay RSL is no different, offering $10 specials on a lot of mains. The food is always going to be no frills pub style, but I actually really enjoyed the meal I had here. Plus the portions are huge, which is always a bonus if you haven't had breakfast as was the case for me at the time. I tried the curry, where as my dining partners chose the fish n' chips and roast beef respectively. All left feeling content, Delia had another flirt on the way out and an enjoyable time was had by all.

This is not a place I would choose to dine out. This is a place where people ask me to meet them…read more It is very entertaining, wondering what will happen tonight? Last night was no exception, One wrong meal, one meal with a hair in it, my meal, burnt and cold. They were very apologetic, they always are. One time we were forgotten about, after an hour and a half someone came up to us and apologised. The meals aren't that cheap either. I suppose most of the time they get it right 50% of the time.

Always a lovely place for a celebration, family dinner or an intimate dinner. The RSL can get…read morereally busy especially on trivia nights so it's best to book a table. We've always had good food here, price is a little on the expensive side but not too bad. I'm a huge fan of the outback chicken ( schnitzel with grilled bacon and a yummy mushroom sauce). Well worth getting the $2 membership because you get money off meals and drinks. Linch times are not quite as busy and they have daily specials.

While passing through Bundaberg with another hour and a half to go before we arrived at our hostel,…read moremy husband and I did a search for dinner and came upon Spotted Dog Tavern. 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.

Was the best restaurant in Bundaberg…read more.... It's a shame it burnt down :( I hope Patto opens up somewhere else and it thrives like this did!
