I requested a booking online bUt it wasn't really necessary on a midweek evening at the end of January. Instead of the nice table inside, we grabbed a spot outside on the great shaded patio. Burgers and sandwiches make up most of the menu and tHere are several versions of sliders as well. We chose the eye of beef filet sliders, a side order of chips (thick cut fries) and a Cesar salad. The salad particularly tasted good after a long couple of days off traveling. Overall the food was decent but nothing all that special or memorable. Nonetheless the atmosphere was great with lots of locals grabbing pints of beer after work and enjoying the beautiful weather.

We eventually got a table and began to browse the menu, none of the burgers sounded all that appealing and were all very expensive for a burger, even before adding fries/drinks. One of us ordered their biggest burger (over $22) and when it came out, it didn't look good, they said the patties and other ingredients tasted burnt and the bread was old. For a place in Salamanca, this was a poor experience and we will not be returning, how they're in business I have no idea.

When I saw BBQ Lamb on the menu by the front door, I dropped my initial dinner plans. The bartender was very helpful in guiding me as she could tell I was in need of guidance. Once I ordered a beer, I gave her my card to start a tab. Unlike American bars, I was given a laminated card with my tab number. It made ordering on my tab during the evening very convenient. Although the lamb was delicious, there were not much of it. I had been confusing information when I had ordered. That same bartender took my order and asked if that was all I was ordering. Another bartender confirmed it was a main entree. As I was finishing my ginger beer, the staff was slowly taking away my plate and utensils. Not seeing any dessert items on the menu, I decided to tab out and go elsewhere.

We got another food truck on the tracks!…read more Mr Burger has expanded from its Melbourne beginnings to move to the little island, and as far as burgers from trucks go, it's definitely a winner. I like the packaging of the messy, drooly burgers--securely wrapped in alfoil THEN burger packaging, for ultimate spill-trappage. I'm also a big fan of the trucker chips, with dat sauce. However... they just get an average from me, for a few reasons. The trucker chips, while delicious, have been a little on the undercooked side the two times I've had them now (gimme chips with a bit of crunch or gimme death, basically). And the burgers are good but they're on par with the Standard, my fave burger place... and the truck's selection is minimal. Of course, because it's a truck! They can't run a dozen different burgers! I get it! But I gotta be honest. I just gotta feel my feelings. And I want to place my order from the comfort of my bed before running past the truck to grab and go. Mr Burger online ordering facilities are available... please go online, Hobart.

Our server arrived and was as friendly as could be. We ordered an order of Toasted Sourdough Bread with a garlic butter, a Peppercorn Encrusted Porterhouse steak, and an order of Onion Rings. The Sourdough arrived and it was perfect. The garlic butter didn't have a lot of garlic which was perfect. Then came this beautiful peppercorn encrusted hunk of meat covered with a wonderful pepper sauce. Yes, the sauce made the steak. The meat was of average quality, had some gristle throughout it. The price as very reasonable so I can't complain. I would order it again. The steak was perfectly cooked as requested. The steak was served with a side of potatoes and carrots. We didn't need the onion rings but they were a great addition. Atmosphere was more of a family type restaurant. Service was very good. Highly recommend making a booking in advance.

We ordered drinks, bread and our meal minutes after we were seated. The drinks were delivered very quickly and the some bread came soon after, and then we didn't get to order more drinks for close to another 1hr and 20mins from when we were seated. We sat there watching tables around us getting served several times, in fact some tables rotated customers out and more arrived. Its disappointing to seat tables served their meals and drinks several times, mire people be seated and severed drinks a few more times. I felt like I had gained a new superpower and become invisible!! Terrible service!! If you're coming here for dinner, its easier to just put your breakfast order in!! I spoke to the manager when leaving and he apologised and then just struggled his shoulders. I explained it wasn't the servers fault, she was overwhelmed with the number of tables she was given. The manager didn't care about my feedback with a terrible attitude, zero empathy and brushed me off when I requested this be escalated to the restaurant manager and owner. He was very dismissive and rude. It's a pity, my previous visit to the Ball & Chain was great.

Vegemite: In many countries around the world, breakfast starts with spreading something on toast. For many Americans, it's peanut butter or jelly, but not both. That's lunch. For Europeans, it's often Nutella. And for Australians, it's Vegemite. Vegemite was invented in Australia. Made from the extract left over after yeast make beer, the stuff is salty and the color of shoe polish. But Vegemite is packed with vitamin B and is often one of Australian children's first solid foods. At McDonald's, you can order Vegemite with your English muffin. Oddly enough, Australian Happy Meals don't include Vegemite. Instead, they serve something called the Pasta Zoo. No koalas or kangaroos here, just vegetable and cheese ravioli in the shape of zoo animals, served with a side of "Zoo Goo," made of tomato, fructose, thickener, vegetable powder, animal fat, coloring, preservative, vegetable gum and more.

Tried Porter which was ok but two others were just good IPA style beers without being over the top. I am sure this could be more crowded in the evening but settled for being open for food mid afternoon which seems a bit of a rarity in Tasmania and this area.

The gin selection is exceptional and there's always a gin of the week, which is a great opportunity to try a gin you may not have encountered before. Society also now makes their own tonic syrup in house, and I believe they're the first place in Hobart to be doing that. ALL THE KUDOS! It's such a special sort of offering and shows how much they care about their drinks. Also back to gin again, Society do gin tasting platters... correct. Half nips of four different gins (be it a Tasmanian platter, an Australian platter or a tailored platter) with a splash of tonic and a garnish to suit each different gin. A really fun way to try a few different variations in one sitting, because gins can be so different! I LOVE GIN! There are always plenty of events happening at Society too, all posted on their facebook, from regular weekly events like Tapas Tuesday to one-off events like fundraiser dinners and spirit masterclasses.

The raclette was delicious and a generous portion of melted and crispy raclette cheese and prosciutto over potatoes with a bit of salad for $15.
