    All desserts are made by the chefs & the steaks are to die for, friendly staff & priced reasonable

    I cannot stress enough how terrible my experience at this buffet was. From start to finish, it was…read morean absolute disaster. The majority of the food was disgustingly bad. The meats were of the cheapest quality imaginable; tough, bland, and downright revolting. Don't even get me started with the steak. It was cold, slimy, and completely inedible. I genuinely couldn't stomach it and couldn't even finish. Even when I waited for a new batch the second time it was still the same. The only remotely edible part of the meal was the dessert which still couldn't salvage my appetite. Another disgusting thing was the self service ice cream station, which I did not touch. Yeah I'm not exaggerating, anyone could scoop out the ice cream, no staff were serving and no gloves were used, which was downright unhygienic. The sanitising bucket wasn't changed the entire hour I was there and the scooper was left sitting in a mix of old gunk. It was obvious that cleanliness wasn't a priority and it was unsettling to see such poor attention to basic food safety. What made it even worse was the response when I complained. I was met with pure hostility. Nelson, the manager, was beyond unprofessional talking over me, defensively rambling, and insisting that all the staff claimed we had finished all of our plates. This was an outright lie. We didn't finish anything because most of it was terrible, but he refused to listen and instead tried to shift the blame. No direct apology, no offer to make things right, just excuses. Very dismissive and trying to get us out. Claimed that they have the best quality in food and service This place is a complete joke. Save your time, money. I'd rather eat dog food than go back here. Avoid at all costs.

    Nothing fancy but great value with something for everyone. Soup, curry, stir fry, steak, garlic…read moreprawns, chips, chicken wings, spring rolls, potato bake, prawns, salad, etc. Get in early to get a table or you may have a long wait.

    Wife & I took off for a weekend a few weeks back. Kept forgetting to do a write up in here. I's…read moreright by the IGA , Same side, up the stairs. not beachside. Going upstairs it reminded me of a roadhouse back in the states, but no peanut shells on the floor. Beer was cold, but a bit pricy (off season resort town). We both ordered steaks, fries & some coleslaw, I added ribs to mine. Ribs were hmmm... a little off the mark and I don't know why. Too wet & sloppy I think, meat was like it was boiled & kinda "mushy"". Sauce was good, but the ribs didn't thrill me. Got better ribs @ the carolina kitchen over in Cooperoo I think. The steak however, was absolutely out of this world. Very, very, flavorful, juicy and done just like my wife... rare. Coleslaw might have well been a pile of sticks. Atmosphere was kinda honky tonk without the hats & music. All things combined, I'd give it a 7 out of 10 stars on the food. Slightly overpriced but the steak made up for it. It's worth a go, but trade in the cole slaw for a different side dish. trust me on this.

    For me the Alex bar and grill does it right. I have eaten there on many occasions and have always…read moreenjoyed my meal throughly. The ribs are fall off the bone and reasonably priced on Thursdays (and some other special days) but can get a bit expensive on other standard days. Still, probably the best slow cooked pork ribs on the Sunshine Coast and it is a pleasure to eat there every time. Always friendly staff that would recognise me and my mates and ensure we were always looked after. No complaints in the 15+ times I have eaten there. A solid choice for a hungry man!
