verified email - 15 Mar 2019

Great little fish and chips shop we found in warana.
Decor is nice ,love the wooden tables and the brilliant old lights hanging
Lots of chairs lots of choice
Very clean,fridge for drinks are colder than usual
Nice people behind the counter
Vast menu
We ordered cod ,bacon cheese delux burger(order got mixed up we ordered the bacon delux loaded chips) and the hey big fella burger.
Maybe change the name of one of those so no mixing up orders
The big fella was a works with tangy pickle ,different lettuce ,everything was nice and partner enjoyed it,said it was so good and sauce was different.
I had a large piece of nicely battered cod,not thick batter which was great. It even had a fishy taste.
Wasn’t greasy and the bacon deluxe burger was just as nice.
Prices are very reasonable,$14 for the fella and 8:50 for cod $11 for the bacon cheese burger
Some good burger for 2 deals too which is great,no one does that.
Lots of choices with the food is great. And vegetarian choices also.
Chips come in 4 different sizes and generous servings.
Lots of sides and a few kids meals
Shop is set up nicely.
Can’t wait to try the loaded chips with bacon cheese sour cream and spring onion.will be back for sure and they also deliver and open 11-8 ,7 days a week

Approximate cost: $11

Stayed here Saturday night. Close to everything,maccas across the red,coles express,buses,taxi etc. bit of a hike to get to city or any restaurants.
Daniel at reception was lovely,helpful and friendly.
Check in was simple,deposit with cc on arrival.
Room was clean but small. Things I did point out to the girls the next morning when at breakfast were the shower curtain has dark greasy marks on it where hands have been and very unappealing,the aircon is full of mold,needs cleaning because that will make people sick. The clock in the room doesn’t work other than turning it on.time couldn’t be fixed and we tried . So we turned it off. Window was clean, view of the red
The shower is tiny and the floor is flat in the bathroom,so water flows out onto the hall floor. .bathroom was clean .
Bed was comfy and clean.
Car parking spaces are very close together ,we had to wait for a car to move next to ours so we could get in our car.
The girls on reception the next morning were lovely. We had breakfast for $9 which is t bad but a bit more variety is needed, three kinds of toast,juices,yoghurts,coffee,condiments,all kept clean in the area, continental I’m not sure what that was about, toast and cereal and juice isn’t a continental breakfast. But everything was fresh and cold.
Price was right and will stay again when need be

Fabulous new butcher inside stockland
The display they have up is awesome and draws your attention. The meat is looking so good that we bought some steaks and ribs for around $40 also bought a half leg of ham and it was beautiful meat.
Meat presentation is lovely.staff are helpful with cooking tips.
Shop is big and bright. Have a look if you are in the area. Parking is in the small car park

This review is for Fresh fruit brothers, Birtinya QLD

verified email - 10 Dec 2018

Beautiful new shop with the freshest of fresh fruit and veg. Visited on the weekend and was quite impressed with the look and the prices. Would rather buy from here than coles at the end of the mall

Itis a locally owned and operated
including organic produce, nuts, dairy, and other grocery items
Its also environmentally friendly,including limiting the use of plastics.95% plastic free store using paper bags instead of plastic bags, eco-friendly trays, which is great
We bought some lovely lettuce,tomatoes,apples and other bits and pieces.prices are reasonable but fresh ess is a must. Shop is layed out well,bright and clean

Wait time was short,shop always looks clean and plenty of customers.
Fish was huge,crispy batter,chips were perfeclty cooked,seafood sticks were chunky and potato scallops were good,plenty of potato ,not thin.
Hot and tasty. I fogot to get the tartare and the lovely girl ran across the rd after us with it,appreciated that effort thank you. Seats and tables outside to eat or go across the rd to the beach .they have burgers,lots of seafood,drinks. Great place

Its actually bells reach not currimundi if you are looking for it. Tucked away at the back of the bells reach sign. Showed up this morning for a xmas breakfast get together.
First impression was ok,tho 2 tables werent cleared from the last customers and we had to remove the cups and dishes ourselves to another table to habe a table for 5 .
undercover which is great for this qld heat.was quite cool,nice black and white galvanised awning for the shop front.opposite a jungle gym for the kids so,you can watch them whilst having a coffee. Parking isnt big tho.
Breafast menu looked good as did the rest of the days items.
I had really nice and tasty chicken bacon aioli toasties for $8 nice crisp thick toast and lots of filling and not dry was perfect.a chocolate frappe was lovely and cool for,this weather. Friemds had raisin toast with strawberries,breakfast wraps that looked good ,coffee in big cups.couldnt fault the food. Staff were nice. Just a bit slow with seving stuff but we had a good chat a good amongst ourselves so wasnt too bad. Will return for breakfast again so thanks guys

This review is for Surfside pizza, Kings Beach QLD

verified email - 01 Dec 2018

Well as of last night thismis the only pizza place for us now in the area
Parking at nights ok outside
Seats and tables outside to sit or a 5 minute walk to beach
Place is bright easy to find,where old eagle boys was. Clean and nice staff and aussies
Large variety of pizzas and some different ones to the norm
We chose the deal pizza ,garlic cheese pizza and a bottle of drink,just wish the drink variety was more than just coke brand. $29.90 pizzas alone are from large $20
Half hour wait so we went for a drive
Pizza was ready and brought to us as we got out of the car,nice they were aware of customers
Well the garlic pizza actually had garlic flavour,most places you cant taste anything but cheese so this was a great start,nice base not too thin or thick,fresh cheese and garlic taste. To us it was most impressive,base holds up well but the topping was meleted nicely and soft
We chose the beachie pizza with prawns
This was soooo nice . Again the base was well cooked ,not hard and held up well ,the topping was moorish,nice tomato base,steingy melted just right cheese,prawns galore,not skimpy on those which was a nice surprise. Everything just blended so well and eating it was mouth-watering. Very impressed guys well done. Wont be going anywhere else now,good luck to you.
Also has pastas
Well worth a try when visting or living in the area. Dont worry about trying anything else they arent worth it... easy location at top of town,close to beach and filling meal

Approximate cost: $17
