    I had a seniors lunch roast in May 2024 an was great , plenty of meat and a man sized meal and the…read morestaff were very polite and helpful. I returned to day being July 2024 and was very disappointed The roast I ordered had shrunk in size considerably and the Lamb was tuff, who ever heard of tough lamb? The staff were all in a bad mood especially the older Caucasian lady every thing seemed a bother to her . I was left sitting with my menu at my table for fifteen minutes until I could get cleanup staff to take my order only to be told I have to go to a counter which was hard to find .I am Reluctant to go back even having to pay $2 fee to get an RSL card which was a tad greedy in my book.

    What a fabulous place. The look and feel says it all. You…read moreHAVE to be a member, due to liquor licencing laws but I'm sure you can part with $2 (casual visit) We had the Roast of the day. Today was Pork. Great portion size. Heaps of crackling. Tender meat. Veggies were good. We also had the Mexican Parma. Wowee. A large decent size of meat, no holding back on the sauce and seasoned chips. The salad needs work but, I'll still give the 5 stars. It is clear to me, the management and staff put in a lot of work and care about presentation and quality. The prices for food drinks are very cheap (it's an RSL). Box Hill RSL is SO GOOD, the money you save should be donated back to the club for the diggers (as a minimum)

    When I get up in the morning, the first thing I need is a coffee. But a bad coffee can ruin your…read moreday even more-so than no coffee. And in a city with many coffee shops, it can be very difficult to find a great one. Luckily for me, Platform 3 is here. Even though I need to walk for 5 minutes and past another 5 coffee places, knowing that its always good coffee makes it a no-brain-er. Not only do they have a fantastic brew (none of that fancy stuff ....they just work on the coffee taste) but you can also get a homemade vegetable and meat sausage roll to really kick start your morning. You may think, wow this is a really great way to start the day, but it gets even better. They also cater for lunch and after work drinks. After a hard days work and feeling exhausted, its great to know that a fully licensed bar, couches to lounge on and a kitchen to indulge your appetite, are just steps away for you to relax before you need to take that journey home. And being open until 10pm on Thursday and Fridays makes it a great place to chill out before moving on into the city.

    The layout of this cafè is rather inconvenient and impractical…read more Especially if it were busy, I don't know anything more potentially awkward than sitting next to two strangers whilst you're sitting opposite the person you're with. Not ideal, but would probably be better if you had a larger group. But the food was lovely! Love the complimentary salad I got with my wrap when eating in. And the waitress needs to smile more :)
