This place has been around for ever, and it always seems to be very busy... but I'v enever been overly impressed with it.

Sure... there is tonnes of variety on the menu, but it doesn't really wow me. And its really annoying to have to go up to different counters to order.

Then listening to all the bells ring at the different kitchens drives me insane.

It does have the balcony though - very nice to sit out there and have a drink and chat.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Fishs Seafood Market, Newstead QLD

This place has some of the best fish and chips I've had - the chips are absolutely awesome and the servings are huge.

We dined in one afternoon and shared 2 serves of fish and chips between three people - it came out beautifully presented and there was so much food.

Its also licenced, so you can sit and have a cold beer with fresh yummy seafood.

Approximate cost: $10.90

This place opened in an old burger takeaway shop and I thought it looked a little dodgey... how wrong was I?

The food is fast and fresh. I love the crab fried rice best...but I haven't had a bad dish yet.

It seems to be getting busier and busier too... everyone is catching on that this place is great.

Approximate cost: $17

LOVE IT!! I highly recommend getting one of the specials for breakfast.

Not a huge place - but the turn over of customers means you don't wait long for a table.

Good funky fun.

Lunch time visit on a public holiday - it was very very busy.

But while the food came out fast enough, it just wasn't anything special.

Service was pretty good too, but becasue so many people were jammed in, it was diffiuclt for the waitstaff to get around without having to bump into the customers.

There is so much to like about this place - almost brand new! It's bright and clean and all the equipment works.

BUT its sooooo small. During peak times its impossible to get a machine, and with PT sessions happening there is often people working out on the floor in front of a machine.

Too tiny for my claustrophobia

Wow - this place is awesome. Lunch during hte week is bedlam. So many people lined up to order, but the service is swift and you don't wait long.

If you are in the city on the weekend or weeknight dinner, I recommend going then - its a much more relaxed atmosphere.

This review is for Vespa Pizza, New Farm QLD

Vespa is a regular experience for us - we often end up getting home delivery on a saturday night.

The place is so popular that it can be a long wait, but the food is always fresh and tasty.

Three Piggies is a favourite - and so is the chicken sesmame.

This review is for LR Sushi, Brisbane QLD

If there is a line up out the door and down the street it's usually a sign of something good - and the sushi here is fantastic.

The turn over is so high that the food is always fresh - sometimes the rice doesn't even have time to get cold!

Excellent value for money.

This review is for Taro's Ramen Café, Brisbane QLD

We stumbled on this place by chance - it was a snadwich bar many years ago. But the food in here is great.

Traditional ramen - hand made moodles, slow cooked pork and stocks. It all adds up to some very very tasty food.

On saturdays they have a special with free extra toppings - I love getting extra challots and egg.
