I went here for a family members birthday. We were in a group of eight. We were promptly seated at a long table and given menus. The place is very loud/noisy. Our orders were taken shortly after being seated as we all knew what we wanted. It's definitely very cheap eating no matter what meal you choose. We ordered a main meal each PLUS two 'size large' garlic bread pizzas. The main meals and garlic pizzas arrived at our table only 15 minutes after we ordered. We were amazed how quick due to the restaurant being so packed. The 'size large' garlic bread pizzas were HUGE. about twice the size of a normal large pizza. We only ate 2 slices of each one, which seemed like such a waste. The meal portions are all huge, everyone's main meal was about twice the size of any normal main meal. I think there would be a lot of wastage at this place because no-one in our group was even able to finish their massive meals. I really cant complain though, because it's value for money.

Approximate cost: $15

I am a regular at this restaurant as it is around the corner from me. It's generally nice, cheap and great for a quick meal. I try different things off the menu each time and I can't say I've been let down yet. The only thing I'd complain about is there always seems to be babies or toddlers in high chairs who scream, cry and throw food around near where I sit. I understand they are just kids being kids but I wish the restaurant would seat them in a particular area so that the other diners can have a pleasant experience.

Approximate cost: $20

i came to this restaurant on a weeknight, think it was a Thursday night, met some friends there. we arrived and were seated and given menus straight away. the waiter took our drink orders while we looked over the menu. we ordered main meals when the drinks were delivered. the service was good. our meals were delivered a couple of minutes apart, which isn't too bad. we weren't fussed. my meal was a lasagne which tasted great, one of the better ones i've had. one of my friends meals were a little burnt, so they weren't too pleased with that. we didnt have dessert. when finished we sat around for a bit too long and they didnt bring the bill, we had to request it twice. as we finished up and i bought a slice of cake to take home which tasted AMAZING. overall it was a good experience and my one complaint would be the size of the table, it was difficult to eat on it with 4 people as it was way too small.

Approximate cost: $20

unfortunately i am a regular for lunch at this restaurant, as its around the corner from my work. the food definitely has its good days and its bad days, but the majority is bad. i still cannot get over the fact that KFC chains can get away with serving such low quality food. my chips from here are ALWAYS brown and the fact they actually expect you to eat them is disgraceful. thumbs down to yet another KFC...

arrived there early on a friday evening, it isnt my regular kfc but i happened to be in the area, firstly waited for ages to be served by the only 3 front counter employees, had to repeat my simple order twice as the girl did not comprehend, when we FINALLY got our take away food, it was already cold and the chips were all BROWN. its so appalling that they are allowed to serve such low quality food!!! they are only still in business because they are a food chain.

We have been to this restaurant on a number of occasions, always greeted by a friendly staff member on arrival, seated promptly and given menus, offered a drink also. service is just excellent. after ordering meals they suprisingly dont take very long until they are out. the food is absolutely FANTASTIC. never been let down at all. one of the best chicken dishes ive tasted is from here and it just so happens to be located in dandenong.

Approximate cost: $35

On arrival we were not greeted by the girl on register, we had to speak first and just placed our orders, she was VERY unfriendly and so then we sat down and waited for around 15 minutes for our burgers (which came out at seperate times). While eating our burgers, which tasted OK, we waited endlessly for the chips we ordered to come out also - but they NEVER came out. we had finished our burgers so i went and asked if our chips were coming out and the girl on register merely said "oh we forgot about them". so i asked for my money back. they are absolutely pathetic, why do these chains hire these young hopeless employees who have no idea about customer service?!!
