This review is for Pancake Manor, Upper Mount Gravatt QLD

verified email - 08 Dec 2013

Service was so slack once our meals were bought out no one bothered to come out to see if we wanted drinks etc. Wanted to order dessert but couldn't get anyone's attention so ended up leaving. The Mexican crepes were so spicy that they had no flavour and left a horrid burning sensation. Side salad was full of nothing but lettuce and a couple of sad under ripe cherry tomatoes that look like they had been re used. Sorry but I probably wouldn't go back. They might serve great pancakes but their meals are sub standard.

Approximate cost: $21

This review is for RACQ Roadside Assistance, Eight Mile Plains QLD

Flat battery today. Roadside assistance came within 20 mins, changed my battery and I was on my way. Mechanic was a lovely bloke, did a great job and was pleasant. RACQ is worth every penny even if you only use it occasionally. I have been a member for 20 years and used the service about 4 times. Love having that peace of mind.

Lovely fresh ingredients, fast service and food cooked to perfection. This little noodle place is tucked in next to red rooster where the night owl is. Cheap Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai style noodles (among other dishes).
Take cash as they have no eftpos facilities.

I am always able to get what I need here. I was on a medication that a lot of smaller chemists didn't stock and they always had it readily available. They have a great range of everything at the right price. Staff are helpful and know what they are talking about. Parking is pretty easy at night too.

Everything I have purchased from here has been fresh, tasty and well priced. Sometimes they tend to over cook their chips and they then become a little too oily for my liking. They make a really good burger loaded with everything a burger should have. No wonder they are always busy. Prefer to support them over Red Rooster - this little shop's chooks are much better.

This review is for Bollywood Restaurant, Springfield Lakes QLD

Not a bad little restaurant. They turn out quite a lot of take away so there is sometimes a wait. Overall the food is nice but not the very best I have sampled of this cuisine. Garlic and cheese naan could do with a lot more garlic and cheese. The curries were quite fresh and the meats very tender. Would definitely go back.

This review is for Olivers @ Manly, Manly QLD

verified email - 01 Apr 2013

Meals are quite small for the price. Service was exceptionally poor and once the plates were cleared we were not asked if we wanted more drinks, coffee, dessert etc. The meat in my meal was over cooked, tough and for what I paid, not really worth it.
I am not sure I would return for a lunch or dinner. The breakfasts are quite alright and would probably still dine there for that.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Hog's Breath Cafe, Upper Mount Gravatt QLD

verified email - 10 Mar 2013

Staff were lovely and probably a little too over attentive which I guess is better than being ignored. Drinks and meals came out very fast even though they were fairly busy.
Food was not bad - not the very best I have ever had at a HBC but still lovely and fresh.
Would recommend this Hogs Breath to anyone looking for a nice burger or steak

This review is for Foodworks, Carina QLD

A small shop but has most of the basics if you are in a jam and don't want to head to the big shops. Car parking up there can be a tad crazy but usually you can get a park. The staff are really friendly and the store set out well so you can find what you are after easily. They also carry a good range of Gluten Free products for a small store. Their deli is lovely and fresh and so are the hot chooks. Great little store

This review is for Jamaica Blue, Carindale QLD

I visited twice in one day and sadly both visits were less than enjoyable. My cake which was grossly over priced for what it was, was stale and dry. I thought I would try something off their menu for lunch hoping it was better. The bacon in my meal was mainly fat and the salad looked wilted and old. My friend had a meal that was meant to be a healthy choice yet the beef in the salad was mainly fat also. The place is over priced for some items (seriously who charges over 4 bucks for a 330ml drink?)
I can say the coffee is nice which was a plus. The staff could learn to smile a bit more occasionally also. Probably would not go back considering the other choices of cafes in the centre.

Approximate cost: $24
