I love using this service. I'm directed to websites and services I usually wouldn't even think of while earning points I can cash in! And so easy to use.

This review is for Ebay.com.au, Sydney NSW

I like ebay as long as it's a proven product that I'm buying. Clothes and things I'm always disappointed but things that I know I like such as makeup it's a winner!

This review is for Warners At The Bay, Warners Bay NSW

A good diverse menu and plenty of high chairs for kids which makes things easier. I find going there through the day there's always plenty of children which makes me more comfortable to take mine. If you don't have kids you could sit in the bar or out the back where kids aren't allowed. I enjoy the veal schnitzel and find the burgers are too big and so hard to eat.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Lee Rowans Garden World, Warners Bay NSW

I wanted to comment on the beautiful cafe they have at Rowans. I love the menu with burgers, salads and sandwiches and there's always variety on the special board too. The coffee is nice and I like to browse in the shop while I'm waiting. The only downside is they don't have high chairs. A favourite of mine for lunch but book a table or you could be disappointed or have to sit out in the sun.

This review is for Hippo Espresso, Warners Bay NSW

**UPDATE I went to Hippos at Christmas time and wow how the service has improved! Full turn around from what I wrote a year ago.**

I've been to Hippos twice and both times experienced such slow service. The food and drinks are good and what you'd expect from a cafe and the place is certainly big enough but I think the service lets these guys down. I'd only go there for a drink and not expect it quickly. The food we've ordered has come out at different times when someone has been finishing their meal a new meal has come out and that sort of thing.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Mary Ellen Hotel, Merewether NSW

I love visiting the Mary Ellen for the great range of beers and you can actually get a pram around. The menu has a great variety and good prices. I usually have the veal schnitzel with a different topping and the chips are yum! Good pub food.

This review is for Lonestar Steak And Saloon, Glendale NSW

verified email - 28 Feb 2011

I've given Lonestar a chance about twice a year but the food is definitely not worth the price. It's hard to get a staff member to get drinks or sauce and every time they get the temperature wrong. Last time I went all the staff seemed to be in the cool room while everyone sweltered where as on other rare occasions we've been there we've had to take a jacket it's been so cold. And I though they danced in tha aisles but havn't seen this the last 2 times I've been.

Approximate cost: $35

This review is for McDonalds, Glendale NSW

My experience is only through drive-thru but every time they have been scabby on fries and the fillings on the burgers compared to other stores. We now drive to Edgeworth or Warners Bay instead.

Approximate cost: $7

This review is for Lilly Thai, Warners Bay NSW

We've been going to Lily Thai for years thanks to the consistent good food and super fast service. I've gone and ordered takeaway only to wait 5 minutes! Delivery is only $5 too for orders over $30 and only takes 20-30 mins so great for when we're feeling extra lazy.

Approximate cost: $13

Although a bit pricey the food can not be faulted! Beautiful location and beautiful food we left with very full bellies after an entree and main.
