Whilst I don't generally like the chain bakeries, these guys are lovely to deal with! Good quality bread products, friendly staff, all boxes ticked.

Went here for the first time to eat-in, and it definitely won't be the last time!!! The food tastes quite authentic! If you want hot, it can be hot, if you want tasty, it's all tasty!

The lady running the place, I believe is also the owner, was friendly and funny, and made us feel relaxed and at home immediately.

Prices were around the mark for Indian food in the suburbs, but the quality was better than most!

Approximate cost: $16.00

Dropped in here for a late evening snack, my partner bought the chicken bites, I went for my staple of a Soft Serve cone.

I like having a good soft serve cone, so easy at 30c, but I definitely felt the need to comment on this one. The cone was full, and the soft serve was high on the cone also, and the guy serving was very pleasant to deal with. Much better than other Maccas venues I've been to recently!

Went for a quick dinner option the other night, stopped at KFC. The food was typical KFC, as was the service... not great, not bad, just the usual. KFC is still overpriced in my opinion, but no more-so than other KFC locations in Melbourne.

My 'dining experience' is hard to describe for this KFC.

I went here with my partner on the way home from the city on evening, around 6pm on a Sunday. We just needed some quick take-away.

We stood at the counter for about 7 or 8 minutes, no other customers in the store. The young lady behind the counter walked by a few times, in between conversations and refilling the Potato and Gravy drawer. She never even acknowledged our presence in the store.

We left, never to return!

Went here to grab a McFlurry and a Choc Thickshake on the way home the other night. After waiting a few minutes, with no other customers ahead of us, we were served. The girl was fairly unpleasant to us, too... it wasn't a difficult order.

The Chocolate Thickshake was vanilla-flavoured with a hint of chocolate flavour, so that was disappointing. The McFlurry was worse, when I got home and looked at it properly, it looked like it was maybe a half serving!! What a rip-off! Would have had more in a soft serve cone.

Not the first time I've had a bad experience here, it's annoying it's in such a convenient location!!

Stepped in for an afternoon tea here. I had a Chocolate Tart, and my partner had a Tiramisu. The prices were OK, not expensive but not cheap. The quality was pretty good, so I'd definitely consider going back in future.

Approximate cost: $4.50

'Typical' Asian take away place in the food court. $8.50 for Fried Rice with choice of three servings.

The quality itself was about average... not bad but not great. The portion size was good, and it was tasty enough. For the price, a good sized meal.

Oddly, they don't sell drinks.

Approximate cost: $8.50

I went here on Saturday night, for a Soft Serve Cone... it's not rocket science, or anything expensive, but had to share my experience...

I waited in line for a while whilst the staff tried to work out which size chips one customer had ordered... and got that wrong anyway. Then, one staff member bagged-up the meal, whilst the other seemed oblivious to the fact that I and others were awaiting service.

Eventually, I was served. When I ordered and paid for the dessert, I watched the staff member... she picked up the hygienic paper with one hand, and then the cone with the other, and wrapped the paper around the now-touched cone. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the hygienic paper???

I'd waited long enough, so couldn't be bothered arguing, but it was a bit poor. I hope she had clean hands. I haven't got sick, so that's a good sign.

This review is for The Brewery, Sydney Olympic Park NSW

verified email - 18 Jun 2012

The Brewery is one of the few places to go for a beer prior to a match at Skoda Stadium.

The beer is served in plastic cups, which is appalling. Then you look at the prices... $6.50 for a XXXX Gold is where you start. Very sad state of affairs.

You're better off having a few beers in the city, and then heading out to Olympic Park at the last possible moment!!

Approximate cost: $7.50
