Ribs were awesome, juicy and tender so I was a little disappointed with the smallish portion size. My American husband loved the buffalo wings with Ranch dressing yet was not too happy with his po'boy since it didn't measure up to the authentic po'boys of his Louisiana home. Cramped poky little place with barely enough elbow room and the staff could do with some training in my opinion. One of my pesky hates is when wait staff casually refer to mixed company as "guys" but that's just me. Anyway, would go back for a larger portion of ribs if I had a hankering.

The staff at Cafe Conti are friendly, accommodating and professional while the food is authentic and fresh. I recommend the Mediterranean antipasto platter and I just love it when my steak is cooked exactly how I like it! A great intimate atmosphere for a family gathering or party with menus that include starter, main and dessert from $45 pp. Off street parking available. I look forward to going back!

Just enjoyed a delicious creamy flat white with a FREE giant fresh lamington alongside. How did I get a $4 item for free? I joined the Freebies Rewards system at Centro Lutwyche located outside the chemist and voila... freebie! Michel's service was friendly, patient and speedy...looks like I just may become a regular.

Jut got 4 keys cut here for $15.80. Served by very friendly staff and was surprised to discover a coffee shop and ladies gift shop called GALLERY B with all kinds of quirky exotica and fancy shoes and accessories at the rear. If you can't park out front you can go down the side street and park behind the Mexican restaurant. An old family business keeping good service and good value.

Approximate cost: $15.80

The personal neighbourly service you receive at Grange Post Office is fantastic! The parking is a little scarce but since I live locally I am usually on foot anyway. The owner knows his stuff and is very helpful indeed.

This chemist is uniquely combined with an IGA Xpress store so you can get milk and bread with your prescriptions! They have convenient parking right out front and are open 7 days from 7am to 8pm. The friendly service here is truly exceptional and they know their regular customers well. We've found that the weekly blister packs of medicines they make up for you takes away all the confusion for my elderley mother and they even provide home delivery if needed. Highly recommended!

Approximate cost: $30.00

Just bought a refrigerator at GG Lutwyche. They had only one on the floor but after pointing out a few miniscule scratches I got it for a steal including extended warranty. Great service too...will go back again :)

This review is for Alpha Car Hire, Hendra QLD

If you're moving house, forget expensive moving companies. If you can do it all yourself, your best bet is to hire a truck for a day from Alpha Car Hire. They were only $110/day for a huge truck with handy Pantec lift. We saved heaps of money moving house this way. We ordered our truck online from their easy to use website and the service was very good. Be sure to read and understand all options, fees, services etc and there won't be any surprises. They were the cheapest I found in a hurry and we'll return again.

Approximate cost: $110.00

This review is for Sizzler, Mitchelton QLD

Have to say, the renovations to Sizzler Brookside have brought it out of the eighties at last. The restaurant looks great now and the service we had recently was exceptional with the cheese toast brought out promptly which is always a highlight for the kids. I do hate it though when wait staff in ANY restaurant call you "GUYS" even though we're in mixed company but that's just me. Ma'am would be more appropriate. I think the prices are getting ridiculous these days and this area needs reviewing since it is a family restaurant. We'd go more often if it wasn't so expensive to be honest.

This review is for Edsco, Kedron QLD

It's halfway through the year and I've moved house and transferred my kids to a different school. This meant getting enitrely brand new bookpacks in a very short time. Edsco tot he rescue! I was helped efficiently by Natalie who got all my items and requests together in a box. She made a daunting task much easier than I'd expected. Edsco is THE place to go for educational toys, books, charts and games....can't wait to go back!

Approximate cost: $300.00
