Really disappointed to see this once great venue sink to the low point that it has hit…read more Used to come here for the great view, great food, and good drinks menu. Honestly I don't know what's happened but the food is now ordinary at best and the prices are exorbitant for the tiny servings. You know that feeling when your food is awful and you check the place online only to see a load of very recent, very negative reviews? Well that's the Beach House. With so many other great options in the area I don't think it'll be long before the beach house is forced to get new management and get back to what it used to be. Whoever is running the place now is doing an atrocious job.

Excellent food at this restaurant situated in idyllic downtown Port Macquarie…read more The staff are friendly and courteous and always happy to assist. The food portions are good for the protein, but the veggies are sparse at best. Didn't your mum tell you to eat more veggies?? As stated in the tip, there's a 10% surcharge on everything on public holidays. Food, drink, the lot. I hate this practice with restaurants.

What an amazing bar!…read more The staff are friendly, the vibe is chilled and the booze is free flowing, tasty and well priced. This is truly one of the hidden treasures of Port Macquarie.

Brooklyn's Burger Bar Espresso is fantastic. End of review…read more No, I couldn't do that to you. Regardless, while I really could've complete the review with the single line above, I refuse to. Brooklyn's Burger Bar Espresso (now abbreviated to Brook's BBE) is a modern, delicious and inviting new burger join, and it's calling your name. Let's start with the food. Having looked at the menu, it was obvious that the owners of this brand new cafe knew exactly what they wanted out of their business. They wanted food which was soul-touching and mouth-watering, and they wanted you to wash that down with bold and defined drinks. The menu, as you can see from the picture, is simple. Do you want beef, pork, chicken, or fish? Then, do you want sidewinders, beer battered bad boys, wedges or gluten free fries? And finally, do you want coffee, alcohol or something else? This progression of choices, followed by the delivery of fantastic quality food makes this cafe a must experience. And how about the atmosphere? If the previous paragraph has convinced you to go check out this burger place, I'm sure you're now asking about what you can expect. Well, the atmosphere at Brook's BBE is equally fantastic. The cafe features an open plan with both indoor and outdoor seating, making the management of noise and privacy very good. Having sat outside with a couple of friends for a long overdue catchup, we felt like we could be ourselves without feeling like we're intruding on someone else's lunch -- and equally for other customers as well, people who sat closely to us looked like they were having a fantastic time but we weren't bothered by any intrusive noise. Then, after you've finished devouring your food and having a fantastic time with your company, you can walk out and into the courtyard of the new town centre, where attractive boutiques and desert cafes are present. Brook's BBE is a fantastic addition to the area of Thrumster. Being completely brand new, it is attractive, modern and serves amazing food. Generally, I'd give a tip on what I think was the best dish, but in this case I honestly don't think you could go wrong. Residents of Thrumster, you're very lucky, it's not often that you have immediate access to a fantastic burger joint. And for the rest of us, if you're physical body is anywhere near this place, make sure you visit. It is Heckin' Good.
