At the gully hotel for dinner - I paid $29 for this crap. See the prosciutto? Yes the tiny bits, the dish has been sitting under the heat lamp for that long, veggies are dry, gravy is almost solid very This was the chicken supreme lol. It was a slice of chicken not a chicken breast as stated. read more

Tea Tree Gully Hotel - Chicken supreme. Find the prosciutto lol. Cold mash, cold gravy and the chicken was tough. - Hotels Near Me - Tea Tree Gully, SA

I have been very disappointed today going here for many years, today was appalling. I ordered meals for my parents n I to have to go up and asked had we been forgotten. To my surprise I was told I dunno have you been. Then the meals arrive to find my snitzels Raw. That was taken back up to counter to be asked what's your problem. When I showed Raw snitzel the response was what do you want then. I asked another staff member who is that guy, she explained the Manager. Well he needs to learn customer service and a apology would have been nice. Not my meal virtually thrown at me when he had to bring another meal. Some people are not cut out for certain roles and espyin hospitality. It makes me wonder if he's restaurant manager there's no hope for the pub. read more

Having been here prior to the renovations and once afterwards, I have finally returned to have another meal. This mega gastro pub in the Gully with its stadium-like seating is just lush. I love the greenery scattered throughout the space with palms, plants, climbers etc. giving you the feeling of dining with nature. We opted for the Garden seating over the dining room. After a morning of hiking we all looked forward to a good hearty pub meal. Ordering of food and drinks is at the two counters situated on the ground level and the bottom level. Surprisingly, the place wasn't packed to the rafters, which allowed us many seating options. Food came after half an hour, unfortunately, it didn't arrive together. Sliders was served first to one person, without the accompanying chips ordered. We all then waited another 15 minutes before the rest of the meals followed. A wait staff did apologise to us. Every dish that came out was massive and well presented. Lots of wows, oohs and ahhs followed as we were each served our meals. I had the humble chicken schnitzel with pepper and mushroom sauces. Another had the crunchy chicken and pulled pork sliders, one had the beef ribs, the vegetarian had the halumi and mushroom skewers and the last person had the beef steak with garlic prawns. Every dish was tasty and sated us. Chips were crunchy - massive tick. My chicken was all breast meat! The ribs was tender, steak was done well and the skewers was also delicious. Winning with our lunch we left there very full and very happy. Will be back for sure! read more

We had eaten in the bistro a few months ago which was okay, if not a bit 90s in feel but as we walked through the beautifully renovated garden area, we were regretting not booking in there instead! This was rectified when we booked in for Mother's Day dinner recently. The space was well heated with strategically placed patio heaters as well as built in gas illusion fire places. The space has been fitted out with some really nice touches, down to the mosaic tiles on the staircase, the light fittings, the garden itself and the bar accoutrements. This is a next level beer garden, fully enclosed to keep out the elements and, as such, completely non-smoking. Enormous TV that lit the room depending on what was on the screen. There is an outdoor decking area available also. The staff were all friendly, chatty and helpful which created a welcoming atmosphere and the menu had a good range at higher-end suburban pub prices (which is becoming the standard now, really) including share plates, platters, pizza and some usual suspects in burgers and chicken parmis. Standard kids menu with good sized serves. I ordered a chicken tortellini from the specials menu and was very happy with it; silky buttery pasta, good quality chicken, tasty rose sauce and spinach. The other meals were all enjoyed as well, including a SA Prawn pizza and the Chicken 65 burger. When buying drinks, I got the tank beer special for the two blokes at the table and was offered a sample to try (as a non-beer drinker, I declined but appreciated the offer) and noticed other beers offered as samples to customers which is a point of difference. The only minor complaint raised were the deckchair style chairs, albeit solid and comfortable, were a bit low for the table. Aside from that, our party was well impressed and we will be back! read more

Its been here a while, maybe too long? I used to visit this place 6 years ago before its big renovation and general overhaul. I was optimistic to try it again for a sit down meal again. The menu choice is underwhelming, the cost is even more questionable than the portion sizes. I should not look at a piece of barramundi and have to think ohh wait is that the schnitzel? The last part is the music, yes its great you have live music but if your saloon bar overlooks the beer garden how bout dont play different music than the live band because both were turned way up and left for a bunch of in audible music. Bottom line here just dont do it, this place needs to be knocked down and started again. read more

Tea Tree Gully Hotel - The beer garden from the saloon bar - Hotels Near Me - Tea Tree Gully, SA

Came her for dinner with a group last night. We ate in the new beer garden area. The staff were great, all friendly and chatty. The new beer garden itself is a great area, nice outdoor parts and indoors was great, love the booths!! The food was ok, but unfortunately not great. Here's the general comments - Black pepper and lime prawns were nice, sliders were ok, mussels and broth way too salty, salt and pepper squid was good, ramen in broth with pork belly - pork was all fat and skin not crunchy, oysters good, burger slightly overcooked, chicken Parma great, fish and chips great. The menu looks fantastic, it was unfortunate that not all of the meals were. 3 stars for the food, 4 for the staff and venue and I will come back in the hope the food has lifted! read more

While I have only been here a couple of times, and once was after a long hike in a nearby national park and we all wanted some place to rest and have a drink (and why not go to a local pub), I used to know somebody who was a regular and referred to it as 'The Gully'. My impression was that their beer garden was nothing short of awesome. It literally takes the term beer garden to a completely new level. There was an actual garden with a rockery and a pool in the middle, and it was enclosed as well, so the elements could be kept out, which meant that there were TV screens where we could watch the football. This garden was also strictly non-smoking (namely because it was technically indoors) which means that the patrons can enjoy a meal without having to worry about cigarette smoke. Oh, the other parts of the pub weren't bad either, it is just that the beer garden pretty much makes the rest pale in comparison. read more

The Gully used to be raging, it was the big suburban place to be on a Friday night for the 20 somethings to get together, have a dance and have a (big) drink. The beer garden is huge, just as big as the inside - multi level with its own bar. However, that was a few years ago. Now the Friday night crowd seems a bit (very) sleazy and thinning out which can make it an uncomfortable evening in such a large space. The restaurant has been up and down over the years, but the last visit I had (about a month ago) was tasty and big for the price and I realised that it probably has the best salad bar I've come across at a pub. Used to be good for a big night - now probably best for a pub meal. read more

This place isn't really my scene... I used to come here when I was dating this idiot security guard from Salisbury. Let's just say you have to be pretty drunk to have a good time here, and no one was dancing! what's the use of music if you aren't going to dance people? It's faster to get drinks from the pokies room bar, for some reason no one thinks of this option, I think there's less choice but who cares, alcohol is alcohol when you're at The Gully. Bit feral, a few fights here and there, stupid hotted up skylines in the car park with the police hidden round the corner to catch them out, good fun to watch actually. it's a decent sized venue with ample seating, lots of girls wearing slutty clothing and guys decked in Tap Out branded t shirts. Welcome to the Norf. read more

Well i've only been on one occasion....... but from what i see if you live this way it is a place to be at the weekend! With a Saloon bar like interior featuring all the lights, disco balls and adverts for cocktails and drink specials you can tell this a popular night spot. The out door area is extensive on 2/3 levels with bars all-round. Food is only served at lunch and dinner times and there is no all day menu which is the only down side i could see. The prices for beer/cider were acceptable. read more

Oh The Gully, it is officially known as the Tea Tree Gully Hotel, but I, and everyone else have always known it as The Gully. Many a raging Friday nights have been had here, in their garden bar which is multi-leveled (with ramps thankfully) and has a large bar/entertaining area. Located at the foothills, The Gully is pretty much a place for Northerners on a Friday night to go out without paying for the trip in and out and during the city. There is ample parking, backstreets to take home and is close enough to ring your parents for a ride. The Gully used to host bands but now it has moved to DJs, and they host regular 'modelling' competitions for girls and guys. The drinks are reasonable, the crowd is a bit on the daggy/suburban side, but the night is usually a good one and can be small and early. read more

If you live in Adelaide and you have a Sunday arvo free, ring ahead and reserve a table for lunch in the garden. Seating anywhere in the tri-level garden is an experience. The food is standout only exceeded by the extreme level of customer service. My favorite dish is the tank beer infused pork belly which melts in the mouth - aside from the crunch of the skin. The bucket of prawns is fun and a nice share dish. The entertainment is cool. Acoustic and supportive to local talent. Music you can chill too but also carry on your conversation. The wine list is impressive, the tank beer is delicious, and if you want to really indulge, the cocktail menu is inspired. My go to place to rejuvenate my inner zen. read more

I rarely if ever provide a low rating however in this case The Gully really failed on delivery of food, all parties with me experienced poor food. We all started with a herb pizza bread for entree, this was extremely dry and lacked taste other than burnt bread and cheese, the rosemary on the bread was also dry and didn't offer much in the taste department, we all added salt and ground pepper to the bread to add flavour. We all felt some olive oil wouldn't have gone amiss with this dish and some salt from the kitchen. Our mains arrived about 20 minutes after the bread was finished, the two burgers we had were okay, a bit greasy but that is the point of a burger. Another person from the group had fish and chips, the fish tasted of ammonia and didn't really get eaten, the rest was left on the plate but the chips were eaten as we needed something to eat. We won't be looking to go back as this was the second bad experience some of my guests have had recently. Some days and times may be better than others but we were not there on a good day. read more

The three stars is for the selection of drinks at the bar and for all the seating and area options. Dining area is your family and pensions get your salad bar type deal.... The newest area is probably where it is at but the food at the Gully no matter where in the Gully you go is mediocre. The pizzas are not good at all, doughy with no flavor, the parmy is over priced and just not awesome and tasty. Everything seems to lack flavor. The gully is good to watch a football game and have some drinks with some hot chips to share but actual meal wise, they need improvement. read more

Sat in the newly renovated beer garden for thr first time last night. The surrounding as spectacular for a suburban pub. The massive screen was great for sport enthusiasts and there are plenty of cool nooks to enjoy a drink with a group in relative private. Drinks list is impressive with a few craft beers on tap and a nice list of cocktails, and what looks to be a decent wine selection. The food was a little disappointing - I sampled some of the Ribs share platter. For $70 it was a decent feed for 3 people. The beef short rib was melting and delicious but came in a large piece which was difficult to cut with all the bone. Tandoori chicken wings were lightly spiced and flavourful. The smoked pork rib was fatty, rich and soft but lacking seasoning. The lamb rib was the worst on the platter - well cooked but very fatty and no flavour to the meat other than grease. Chips were very good, and the coleslaw fresh and crunchy. Ordering a ribs meal I expect sweet, smoky and savoury flavours and this did not deliver. I sampled the Barossa lamb pizza which was delicious with lots of meat and fetta with sweet roasted pumpkin. We also ordered a dessert pizza, which read much better on paper: vanilla custard base, nutella, banana, peanut toffee and vanilla ice cream. We learned the kitchen was out of banana and agreed to an apple & pear substitution. The base was good, custard barely perceptible. Nutella was in large globs we had to spread ourselves, the apple soft and sweet. The peanut toffee should have given much needed crunch and toastiness to the dish but instead was in a very fine powder, sprinkled pretty lightly. The ice cream scoop un the middle of the pizza was difficult to spread and just ended up leaving a melted mess. The 'harvest' menu of seasonal themed specials (it was apple this time) looked really good. I would return again and maybe go for a pizza or harvest menu over the ribs platter. read more

Went for Xmas day lunch, $100 a head (6). Told to attend at 1pm, arrived to find very overcrowded, tables placed in every area of the hotel, initially placed in area that wasn't covered by the air conditioning, close to being 35c at the time and felt like it was sittting in a green house, had to request a table move, then onto to the food, buffet style, the cold foods where covered in flies, Poor selection of veg, food was running out and not being replaced, felt like we had arrived late at the party even though we where told to be by 1pm, by the time we got to the desserts we found most of the selection had gone and what was left was covered in flies. I did make a formal complaint, yet to hear from management, complete waste of time, very disappointing, ruined the day. read more

Disappointing. This is our local, we have been here multiple times however, only once enjoyed our meals which was the roast carvery. Three terrible meals for us means this is a no return and do not recommend to others. We have dinned in for breakfast lunch and dinner. We got takeaway burgers last weekend, and we couldn't eat them. They were flavourless and cold, we live less than 2 minutes from the gully. Soggy cold potato chips and a boring burger. The only thing that was nice were the fries. Presentation is nice, however we were very let down. read more

On Sunday the 24th of February a birthday party was held at your establishment ,the meals were of very poor presentation and the pricing was way out of context to the quality of ingredients served. As a matter of interest there was no less than three professional chefs at this table as guests so the following breakdown is very accurate. The Caesar salad was limp using chopped up ordinary iceberg lettuce the egg was not coddled but hard boiled, the chicken was burnt and sparse, no dressing perceived to be present. Other dishes presented were Salt and pepper squid it was oily and the fries were sparse and dripping in oil. The roast was dry and provided no enticement to eat ,a pasta dish was ll it looked like a entree dish gluey and not apertising to look at or eat.This was a small comment on the total of 11 dishes presented at the table. My opinion is that the food falls very short of a decent meal and a good look at your staff ability to produce any kind of meal for the prices paid. To top it all when going to the bar to buy good quality wine to consume with the meal I found the barman talking to a person in the side bar with his leg up on the foot bar not taking any notice of me waiting nearly five minutes to order finally he turned around when I summoned him from his long conversation, he ultimately reluctantly served me with an attitude of what a nuisance a customer. A very disappointing experience I and other guests will never return. read more

We used to be regulars here for dinner and trivia nights. But the last few times have been disappointing 2 of our favorite items were removed from the menu quite a while ago leaving quite a standard "pub " menu. The salad and veg bar always looks messy and unpresented. It has the basic usual choices and is nothing special. Prices have risen since the renovations but the menu doesn't match and although the food isn't cooked badly I can't say it's great either read more

The usual pub fare but boy order even just a light meal and you'll get more than you expected! I enjoyed the soup and salad bar too. I'll have to go again and update my review to talk about the food, but the options were impressive. My favourite room is the entrance with the weaved hanging swing chairs and log bar stools. The place looked like a magical forest (a vast improvement to its standard pub decor days from my teen years). I'll be going back again to explore further! read more

I love the new beer garden! Multi levels with private booth areas, lots of greenery, a really cool giant tent roof and interesting corners with beautiful hanging chairs! The heaters were working a treat, almost too warm, as we wished we hadn't worn wooly jumpers! Luckily we had booked a table as the place was packed, just not lucky enough to have scored a booth! The chairs varied from wooden with cushion to plain metal without. The latter not too comfortable. I'm not sure what happened with our food orders but they did get quite a bit wrong. I was a little disappointed with my main and dessert. The dukkah crusted barramundi and appleslaw lacked flavor and the salad was quite chunky with big pieces of celery and cabbage. Dessert was the kahlua espresso pudding. I should have read the menu in more detail as it really was only custard in a cup, no pudding as the name suggested! We were seated right in front of the band, which was very loud and made conversation a little difficult. Management did acknowledge the mixup in orders and kindly did provide desserts and a drink for free. I would definitely be going back to The Gully as I love that beer garden! Now I have seen the layout, I will be booking a booth in the upper garden area and trying one of their pizzas or hamburgers. They looked amazing! read more

very disappointed ,will not go back. We had lunch there today, the steak had a lot of waste ,I ordered medium rare, it was well done, the beef Snitzel was cremated ,and the salmon just didn't taste quite right, fish and chips was ok. we should have sent the meals back, I did mention it to the waitress when we paid ,and she said I will let the chef know, not good enough . read more

On par with Walkers Arms in most ways. A very large Hotel that can cater to huge numbers. There are different sections, from gaming, main bar, bistro, and garden, the latter broken up into various smaller sections that (architecturally) utilise the creek bed which now basically runs underneath the Hotel. In that regard it's quite impressive and on nice days inviting. It's what makes it stand out amongst it's peers. On the most recent lunch visit we shunned the garden due to heat and spent time in the bistro, dodging pensioners and staff off their 'xmas' feet. The Hotel caters for the elderly by providing specials and a 'seniors' menu. It also caters for kids and their menu has something for everyone. Overall the meals looked good and the only real issues related to overcooked steak. The salad bar choices were good and salads fresh and tasty. I 'tested' with a chicken schnitzel which wasn't bad, not Adelaide's best but pleasant enough with nice crumb and not dry/overcooked. The pepper sauce was slightly less impressive. Thanks to my colleagues watching their weight I also sampled quite a bit of the salt & pepper squid. The latter was lighter in flavour than most but well cooked and presented and a pleasure to eat. With two beer-pint specials on the tap there was little to complain about. read more

We've just checked in for a nice Monday lunch. I'm having fish and chips which includes the salad bar.

I previously ate at the Tea Tree Gully Hotel around 2 years ago. I was impressed with the venue, however did not enjoy the food. Thought I would try it again and went there recently with family. The refurbishments are wonderful and I really like the beer garden. Great atmosphere! As for dining, there is quite an extensive menu with the salad and vegetable bar included. We all selected different meals from the menu and were left disappointed. We found the food quite overpriced and our dishes very average. I ended up leaving half of my meal. Overall, I would recommend the Tea Tree Gully Hotel for drinks; however go elsewhere if you're after an enjoyable meal. read more

Went here for a drink and was good. The place has lots of space, and a great outside area. Have heard it can get busy over weekends, will definitely go back for food next time. read more

Waited 45 minutes to get cold uncooked prawn skewers, that were still green! Sent it back and was told they were fine, just a little cold, because they were "twice cooked" -- what a load of rubbish. Got them back and they were actually white as you would expect cooked prawns to be. Mistakes happen, fine. Lying about it is a choice. Dirt on the cucumber in the salad too. Avoid. read more

Lunch on 1st August in the Bistro, ordered fish and chips at $24. Very disappointed - 2 small pieces of fish, a few chips and small serve of greens. read more

Recently had lunch in the garden which is a comfortable and relaxing environment with 'hideaway' tables where you don't notice anyone else around. Unfortunately the food was a big let down. We had the 5 spice beef kebabs which arrived blackened to a crisp and were a very poor cut of meat so the experience was of chewing burnt pieces of fat. Will go again if only for the enjoyment of sitting in the hangjng chairs and the service was good. Here's hoping for better food next time. read more
