I've been on some of these nights, then on some regular days as well. On a regular night the place isn't too busy, a good spot to chill and chat with some friends, but on the nights when an event is going on: beware. It's crowded, noisy and quite messy. Not really my thing. For the past month or so my girlfriend's and I have been to Lighty's at least twice a week for their potato wedges. So. Freaking. Good. Their crispy and seasoned, and come with a spectacular sweet chilli and sour cream dipping sauce. Ugh, I'm drooling just thinking about it. For less than $10 the wedges are a steal and the serving size is big enough to satisfy three people. Aside from their fries I've also tried their garlic pizza bread (the name is pretty self-explanatory, it looks like a pizza but tastes like garlic bread), their beef nachos (tasty as hell and also a huge serving) and the buffalo wings (average at best, we didn't try to finish them). I still need to try their chicken parm, because every time someone else orders it I always die a bit inside from how delicious it looks. If you're looking for a spot to chill, chat and eat with some mates this is a great spot to go to, just try to avoid busy nights.

    This place was great, steak and beer battered barramundi were excellent. They had run out of steak…read morefor the Wednesday steak special so we had ordered the schnitzel instead but the manager ran out and got more and happily swapped out our second choice order and refunded me the difference. The beef nachos weren't great but I'm super happy with the rest of the food and beer selection and good atmosphere and music to boot so five stars as far as i'm concerned.

    If I could give this a minus 10, I would. I would not recommend that anyone goes here. We ordered…read morefive meals on a Saturday morning and had to wait an hour for them (there was only 5 other people in the bar). They seemed to only have one person in the kitchen who was cooking one meal at a time. When the meals arrived they were all cold. The fish and chips were cold (how hard is it to put something in the deep fryer with the right timing?). We got the special of the pulled pork burger which arrived on a partly frozen bun and was complete cold, it was more like a salad and pork roll. At one stage I had seen the chef walk out from the kitchen confused and looking at the specials board. I assume he had no idea what a pulled pork burger was. The schnitzel was hot but the chips were horribly cold. We sent all the meals back and got our money back. The waitress was apologetic but the chef was not at all and seemed a bit annoyed. Like it's our fault that he can't cook! Horrible place with slow service and everything is frozen. The chef has no idea what he is doing.
