I ordered onion rings and a Carnivore BBQ pizza. Both looked amazing (pictures posted) but looks can be deceiving and my meal was very deceptive. The onion ring portion was very generous but they were over cooked, almost burnt. I could live with it since it came with ketchup and a lovely garlic aioli - the second onion ring I but into had a blond hair in it. I wanted to throw up I was so disgusted. I was hungry so I moved on to the pizza - looked and smelled great but the crust was awful and the toppings tasted frozen. The 2 stars was for the great service. This place will always have customers as it's attached to the two Hilton hotels in town.

Half and half pizza: stacks favourite and wine's mate. Pizza was pretty salty... :( the bottom of the pizza was soggy instead of crispy. The salt and pepper calamari was deep fried but not battered. It was oddly tender instead of chewy/ and springy. I don't know if I liked it or not haha. Even though it was deep fried it was soggy on the outside. I wanted a crunch! Overall it was okay... it is a convenient location. I wish they paid more attention to us after we ordered and served our food. They had a lot of TVs playing 80s music videos. Very interesting hahah. It's a CONVENIENT LOCATION. So still worth going if you don't want to go to the town center.

The food was fine and they had a good selection of taps (beer, cider, and ginger beer). We got the following food items: -garlic loaf with cheese - barely had any garlic flavor, just thick bread with some cheese -fish and chips with side salad - partner said this was fine -bar platter - smaller than I expected (2 spring rolls, 2 samosas, 2 squid rings, 1 tempura fish fillet, 2 crumbed prawn cutlets-which were just deep fried shrimp, 2 surimi scallop, 2 surimi bites), best of this platter was the scallops It was pretty empty inside and we ordered at the bar and order was delivered to us. Good for big groups though.

The nachos are fantastic value for $15 (beef and jalepenos were extra charge) and just good'ol bar food that slows your heart down! Came back during happy hour and got the bar platter and onion rings, which were both quite tasty. What made them even tastier was that it was half off, and when you pair it with an ice cold lager, there's not much better. Great value, above average bar food!
