Friends and I watched Grown Ups couple weeks ago! Seats were good! Inside was big and roomy! Atmosphere felt like an ideal cinema. It was clean and had a joyful, safe and easy time! Staff was friendly. Shops beside them are Subway, timezone and a bar to name a few.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Starbucks, Mount Druitt NSW

verified email - 14 Aug 2010

The only Starbucks in Western Sydney! Is usually very busy! Great value and selection of drinks! Side foods are yummo! Plenty of seats outdoor and cozy indoors! A few couches and indoors. Great for catch-ups, homework, chill-axing, unwinding, quiet time at times, reading, etc. Plenty of parking, a short walk from Westfield Mt Druitt. Friendly staff!

Dined in a couple of times in the past year. You can eat indoors or outdoors. Food orders and menu's are similar to an RSL. Food is great, a fair choice of meals. Has a playground for the kids, great lake views during the day. Parking is abundant. Family oriented.

This review is for Outback Steakhouse, Parklea NSW

I have dined in for dinner there 3 times in the past 2 years. They are usually very busy with customers and we've always had to wait at least 15minutes before seated especially at peak times. Scenery and atmosphere is great. Great for birthdays. There is a bar and TV's. Servings are big depending on order. Reservations is a must. Even if you reserve you are likely to wait until the table has been cleared by other customers finishing their meal. Great selection menu, but most are expensive.

Approximate cost: $28

This review is for Paddy's Markets, Haymarket NSW

verified email - 14 Aug 2010

Dozens and dozens of shops side-by side selling almost anything you can find in a market. Similar to Parklea Markets, people sell fruits, vegies, clothing, electronics, accessories, toys, the lot. Almost always the place gets packed and is hard to walk around. You can find a bargain looking around a number of shops compared to shops in Plaza's and malls. Your mind must be open to getting a good bargain with the sellers and always check your item if you're happy with it before you buy and go.

This review is for Wagaya, Haymarket NSW

Touch screen orders on the walls! A huge selection of food and drinks to order! You won't need to call a waiter/waitress! Prices vary per type of dish. Excellent for parties. Reservations would certainly be the way to go because they get busy especially weekday nights. You can eat at a table, or reserve in a room where people sit around one big special table. This room requires you to take your shoes off and when you sit down, there is an underground part of the table where you put your feet. The seats are cushioned. Great experience! Delivery of ordered food is quick within minutes.

This review is for Ben & Jerry's, Manly NSW

One of the best and popular ice-creameries. A wide selection of ice-cream flavours to have on a cone or cup. Prices range by number of scoops. The queue is usually long but the wait isn't too bad. Great to go once every often. Dined in during Winter and people were still queeing. Imagine Summer time! Great location, across from beach. Parking may be long to find if you go at peak times.

Approximate cost: $4

This review is for Silver Spurs Steak Ranch, Penrith NSW

My gf and I had lunch there on a weekend, it was off-peak for them and was not busy. Ordered a main meal each and didn't wait too long (15mins approx) after order. Great customer service. Inside scenery was good. TV's all-round, and faint music in the background. Food was great! The menu is similar to Hog's breath.

Approximate cost: $22

This review is for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Penrith NSW

verified email - 14 Aug 2010

A wide variety of donut flavours to choose from. You can get deals which are shown in the menu posted on the wall above. Great place to have a dessert and treat yourself once every often. You can also watch how the donuts are made through a wall of windows. The aroma inside the restaurant is mouth-watering. You can also ask for a rewards card where they stamp your card every time you purchase from krispy kreme. Each time you visit you get closer to get free stuff shown on the card, i,e on the 5th visit free donut, etc.

Approximate cost: $3
