Just needed a quick lunch. Had a beautiful salad - the goat's cheese and sweet potato and coffee. Wanted to lick the plate! Service was a little slow but the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Beautiful service - arrived too early and was made to feel welcome. Food was top quality and the desert I had - the ginger and apple tatin was moreish! A lovely night out. The only down-side was that, like most top-end restaurants, the plates were large and the servings small!

The factory outlet itself changes all the time. I went out the other day and got cartons of 24 Wiggles Poppers for $5.00 which expire in November 2009. It now stocks Heinz products which means that tuna, salmon and canned meals are also available.
The best part of the factory is the coffee shop. The food is super fresh and made on the premises. Even better, it is cheap. I fed my four children and myself for lunch for $25, including drinks. Three of us had wraps at $4.95 which came with a soft drink. Two of us had chicken nuggets and chips and the servings were HUGE! The children couldn't finish the mountain in front of them. Included in the price were poppers.

A slightly better than most Vietnamese restaurant. The decor is snazzier than most cheap Vietnamese places. The food is spot on and the service is friendly.

One of my Market Square favourites. Very cheap and great food! Six of us had brunch there on a Sunday - we had food left over and paid only $58! The roti canai is good, and the laksa is tasty and half the price of most other restaurants! The black rice pudding is also good - it is usually not on the menu but advertised on a placard. We have never left disappointed. Real value for money. Be careful - there are no eftpos or credit card facilities - very much a cash only place.

They make a really good cup of coffee, though a little expensive. The array of cakes is amazing and a change from the standard line-up. Amazing lamingtons and croissants - they are huge! There is no better place in Broadbeach to sit outside on a Sunday morning in summer and do a bit of people watching.

I took the children there one night as they love Mexican food. We were seated in a corner near the toilets which did not bode well. The food was very ordinary. I ordered a salad which came in a stale enchilada bowl which smelt of rancid oil. The chicken in the salad was flavourless and tepid - I would have expected it to be either hot or cold but felt semi-heated. The salad was nothing more than lettuce and tomatoes with a couple of peeled orange slices on top as decoration. I left half of it. I could have made a better salad at home for 1/100th of the price.

A good family restaurant. The kids love coming here. The portions are huge and good value for money. The staff have always been wonderful - they make sure that the kids get colouring in pencils and pictures to keep them amused. We went for my son's 11th birthday; we brought our own cake and they served it with candles; as a special surprise, three of the waitstaff sang and danced happy birthday to him with sparklers - it was wonderful and totally unexpected. We did not get charged cakeage either. Never had a bad experience there.

I took my four children there for their buffet dinner. They were wonderful - gave me the best deal possible to make it affordable. Service was good, the food was fine, and the decor and atmosphere family friendly. It made a special night for us.

I have been twice. The first time we ordered a dip platter for 5 people and received exactly 5 pieces of bread. We were charged for extra bread. Not a good start to a meal. It took ages as well to get the extra bread which arrived when the mains came so the dips sat there for ages without anything to dip into them.

The second time we had better service but the kebabs we ordered were so salty that they were almost inedible. We were drinking water all night. Neither times were stand-out experiences which was a shame considering we were paying top dollar prices.
