We decided to do breakfast here as part of our experience. It was OK. The coffee was good…read more I did notice plenty of grey nomads arrive with their four wheel drives and caravans and head straight for the tea and scones. There are plenty of jams and preserves on the shelves so maybe this is their strong point. Before you head out here for breakfast check out what is in the town you are leaving first.

Given a Chicken Parmigiana is basically the love child of lasagne and chicken schnitzels, you'd…read morethink I'd eat them more often. However, I normally go a steak before a parmy. Or a schnitzel. Or a lasagne. But when a mate recommended the various takes on Parmigianas at this joint I decided to give it a go. And it was awesome!! The Railway Hotel has made them a work of art! The place is worth visiting for the Parmmies alone. You can get a Hawaiian, Spanish or Mexican variety. I tried the Mexican and it didn't disappoint. They also have $12 steaks, pizzas and other menu items if you're still not convinced. Outside, this looks like any other pub in town. Inside though it has been renovated and has a nice, modern feel. It also has a full bar to grab a drink with your meal or settle in for a session.

I love me some country pub. A place with utes out the front…read moreand a kitchen full of schnitties. With locals propping up the bar and the footy on TV, at any time of day or night. This is my first time in Parkes and the 4hr drive took us 7 because of fog and traffic and accidents, and we were hungry fed up and car weary by the time we crawled into town at 9pm. Straight to the Raily, where the World's Biggest Chicken Parmy awaited me, I chose Spanish flavour with pepperoni and feta and olives and this thing is about the size and weight of a brick, when it landed in front of me I was so happy I could have screamed, but my mouth got real busy all of a sudden. Beers are five bucks or thereabouts, there's a diverse Friday night crowd of farmers and yokels and young pretty girls getting some pre-game in before hitting the town's only nightclub, it's a veritable cavalcade of people watching. Pub lyf yo.

We stopped in forbes to have lunch and the reviews looked good so we came here. We first used their…read morebathroom then looked for the bistro. Signs were a bit unclear but found the place quite soon. Menu was easy to read was easy to read but they wouldn't take our order until twelve. It was 11:57 and I think this is a bit poor as some people like to have lunch earlier than this and they didn't seem ready. After we ordered, the food was very quick to arrive and looked and tasted very good. Overall, staff were friendly and helpful but could have been a but more professional (eg. How they dressed and how they spoke) and was satisfied with the place.

Nice friendly staff who'll bring your food out to you if you're eating in. Only a few limited tables to eat in at though, so it's really more of a takeaway option. I've never seen a cheese and bacon sausage roll before this joint, and now I wonder why... They're awesome!! Great range of different flavored pies too.
