We had never eaten at Oporto before and decided to try it one recent Sunday while out shopping, as an alternative to the other usual fast food outlets. What a good little discovery! The store was extremly clean and staff well presented. The staff were very friendly and cheerfully explained the menu options. The food and coffee were prepared quickly and were really delicious. We didn't get that bogged down, heavy, sleepy feeling we get when we eat at some other fast food places so we will be sure to visit again.

Approximate cost: $10

Nice range of surf wear - some interesting designs available. Prices are OK, perhaps a little on the high side for fleece and tees and tiny shorts and dresses - but you are paying for a brand. The service has always been great and staff clearly passionate about promoting this brand as an alternative to much more known (and expensive) surf brands. Very neat store with everything laid out logically and staff always on hand to assist with styles, colours and sizes.

Good range of current fashion for young people. Prices are a little on the dear side but a good alternative to some of the high end stores selling similar lines. Service is always friendly and efficient.

I am very happy to have found this store! Growing daughter was in urgent need of runners. I was dreading this exercise because she has large feet and it is difficult to find her size in a style and brand that is comfortable for her, something that is particularly important because she does cross country running. Buying runners usually ends up costing us a fortune. We found this store and were thrilled that they had the brands that she finds best for her feet and that they also had her size. Not only were they a great price, they also had a 'Buy One Get One Free deal' meaning she got two pairs of runners for almost half the price of one pair of runners at other retail stores. We were also able to buy her a pair of brand name casual shoes for just $20.00 when they normally sell for $80-90 elsewhere. They sell other items, such as jeans, bathers and t-shirts as well. The service was excellent. It was busy but they have enough staff to look after you and they were all helpful and friendly. It is worth checking out this store or their website for special deals for the family's shoe and other sporting apparel needs.

This is a really friendly, pleasant environment and our dogs quite like coming here. The vets are all lovely and caring, very dedicated to their profession and patients. All the staff are welcoming and all the animals always seem at ease. Vet fees are always dear but they are fair and reasonable here.

Our family has used this store a few times and we are always very happy with the level of care and service. They have good range of glasses and while they can be a little pricey, it is very easy to access private health benefits there and then at the store. We feel we are in good hands at this store.

This review is for Freddy's Fruit Shop, Melton VIC

We love this fruit & veg shop. The prices are excellent - we can come out with a couple of bags of fruit and veg for $20.00 and it tastes good and keeps well. The also sell good quality milk for around $1.80 per litre so we never buy our milk and fruit and veg from the big supermarkets. They also have other items (chips, canned goods, sweets, pasta etc) so it is worth popping in.

Without a doubt, the prices are excellent, especially on bulk meat. The fact that the staff will happily cut meat to your liking is a real bonus. We had a few issues with purchasing some of the marinated products so we stay away from these now. However, we are very impressed with the quality of all the other meat (looks natural, no chemicals, smells like meat when you cook it), it is great value and there is wide choice. The store is also very clean.

We love Emmo Garden Supplies for the good range, excellent prices, prompt delivery and friendly, helpful service each and every time. This is an excellent place to source all your garden/landscaping needs at a really good price. Staff are very knowledgable and happy to provide advice.

I always found this store quite expensive but it seems that they have had to reconsider the prices with a competitor opening up across the road - i have noticed some things have come down a little. The staff are very friendly and helpful but the store does not seem to have as many things as they used to. The store does not seem as well maintained as it used to be but it could be because of less customers coming in. I find this store is now my second choice. If the competitor across the road does not have what I need, I will come to this store but I find it a little gloomy these days.
