I've been to Lazy Moes Tullamarine about about 6 times now. I ordered various meals on menu including cannelloni, pasta, taco and pancakes, potatoes, chicken schnitzels etc, as well as cocktails including after dinner mint. The menu has changed since I first visited in 2009, with an added pancake menu. I tried the picnic pancake.
It's a bit of a hit and miss with Lazy Moes when it comes to performance and quality of food. You can get good and sometimes bad food.
There are times when the service is great and the staff are quite friendly, then other times it's just shocking. I think more times than not I get friendly service from staff. I get the feeling that the staff aren't happy and the staff turnover is high.
The things I like about Lazy Moes are reasonably priced food, generous servings- it's like woah!(I have trouble finishing it), nice cocktails and a nice outdoor seating area. If your in the mood to just stuff your face in, Lazy Moes is the place to go. At times the staff are very helpful and nice, but due to high staff turnovers, they don't stay long.
The times when I was not impressed was when I receive dishes with shriveled up lettuces, chips dripping with lots of oil or dry stale meat. Another time I found a large piece of plastic in my Canneloni which waiter said came from the microwave containers used to heat food and he quickly apologised, then to compensate, let me order any cocktail on menu for free. I was happy with the cocktail.
Another time I was unimpressed, was when I waited 30 minutes for my order on baked potato, which seemingly never came, so I decided to leave. Then when I was about to, the boss came out and says "wait". The potatoes came out and i said "thanks", and the boss didn't respond or smile and didn't bother with an apology, just walked of. He didn't smile or show much manners when while paying. The lazy moe owner guy seems not so nice.
Also the food quantity is very large but the quality is ok. It's a good place if your not a fussy eater and just like lots of food.
I also notice inconsistencies with food orders. It could be my imagination but some people's orders look amazing, while others are terrible. Seen the same dish ordered by various people, around approximately the same time, each one coming out different, where some people are getting noticeably less food than others. I noticed it with my friend, who was very hungry and confused why her portions were significantly less. They are all paying the same amount, but not all getting their money's worth.
Personally, i wouldn't consider going back. It's not something worth raving about. Overall very average and neutral.
Some of my friends seems more than happy to keep coming back and is a regular. Each to their own. read more
