We are regular customers here - can't beat the prices! Value for money takeaway for a family.
The pizzas are well made, although on Tuesday night they're a little 'rushed' looking ;)
Only had a couple of mistakes and the staff were quick to rectify.
Overall very pleased and will continue to be a regular customer.

This review is for The Cheese Cake Shop, Caboolture QLD

verified email - 09 Jul 2013

We have been to this shop three times now and twice were disappointed.
The first time we encountered a rude and less than helpful customer service assistant.
The last time we pre-ordered a special occasion birthday cake and paid five dollars extra for writing on the cake.
The cake was fine, however the inscription on it was incorrect. This wasn't discovered until it was too late to return it for correction. A phone call ensued to yet another unhelpful customer service assistant. No apology was given at anytime during the phone call! We were advised the manager was too busy to talk and he would call us back. That was five days ago.
We have bought cakes/cheesecakes from three other Cheesecake Shops over the years and have never encountered these problems-EVER.
Will not be returning to this particular shop and will not hold our breath for the promised phone call from the manager.

Approximate cost: $35.95

We recently booked our children (and myself) in for an eye test. They were able to fit us in the next day. I used recommendations from this site to choose this optometrist.
What a great experience! The optometrist was wonderful. He had a great manner with children. He explained everything he was doing and put us all at ease. I will go there again in the future.
They were busy so we did have to wait about fifteen minutes after our appointment time, but otherwise 10/10!

We ate in mid week. A party of ten. We ordered about eight dishes of different varieties (lamb, duck, prawns, beef, chicken). Lovely food, served hot and within 20 minutes of ordering. The food was fresh and well presented.
Great service staff, friendly and efficient.
The facilities were clean and the music was nice, not too loud.
They were quite busy with takeaways.
Overall a very satisfying experience! We will return :)

Recently took six children aged five to ten here. It was great! We went on a Wednesday afternoon and there were a few other kids there but not too busy. The kids had a blast, boys and girls, none of them got bored even after nearly three hours there!
The facilities were clean, staff pleasant and helpful. Nice cuppa and milkshake (muffin not so tasty). Plenty of tables and chairs but not crowded.
Overall a thoroughly fantastic afternoon was had by adults and children.

Approximate cost: $9.90 per child

This review is for Go Sushi, Morayfield QLD

verified email - 19 Apr 2013

We eat sushi from here quite regularly and have never been disappointed.
We've tried a variety of rolls, including salmon, chicken and tuna. All very good.
They seem quite busy and the sushi is always fresh and cold. Friendly, quick service. Their 'Frequent Go'er' card is great, every 6th food purchase visit gets you a free roll.

Great first time experience here!
Took two five year olds who thoroughly enjoyed themselves for over three hours. It was a busy Saturday morning but there was ample seating. Reasonably priced food and drinks. The milkshakes were delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very clean environment and facilities.
We'll be returning soon!

Approximate cost: $About $25 for two 5 year olds

This review is for Eric Broad Veterinary Clinic, Caboolture QLD

I was new to the area so used this vet after reading some online reviews. Disappointing experience.
I waited 45 minutes past the appoint time due to two emergencies. I totally understand emergencies have to go in as they come. My appointment was for 11:30am. The receptionist told me the first emergency came in at 8am, that bumped everyone along. Perhaps calling people to let them know to come in a little later would prevent wasted time hanging around waiting.This made me late for another appointment (I would have rescheduled if I had some notice).

When we were finally seen the end result was that they sold me a case of special food with absolutely no instructions on the cans or by the vet of how much to feed our dog. When I rang back, the receptionist had to call me back with the relevant information. This resulted in my dog losing 10% of his body weight in a week. I was also sold special shampoo and conditioner that I later found elsewhere at a much cheaper cost.
Our dog was put on medication for two weeks. I was told to ring back and let the vet know how he was going. I did ring back and let the receptionist know of my concerns as the food and medication didn't seem to be helping, the vet was busy, I was told he'd call me back...that was eight months ago...still waiting.
I'm glad others have had positive experiences with this vet, I personally would not recommend going here.

So glad we tried this place! We'd tried a couple of other fish and chips shops in the area but weren't fussed. We told other family members to try here and now this is their favourite too.
The fish is delish and the chips/potato scallops are always cooked to perfection. Their hamburgers are generous and yummy as well.The packs (especially the children's ones) are value for money.The menu is huge, there's something for everyone.
It can get busy, but that's a good sign. You can phone your order ahead.
Looking forward to many years of patronage.

Wonderful experience here! After having been to a few hairdressers in the area, I found a great one.
New owner Athena style cut and blow-dried my hair to perfection. She did a great job (exactly what I asked for) and took her time to make sure I was happy.
Five star service all the way. Friendly and professional.
I'm looking forward to going back!

Approximate cost: $45 style cut and blow dry
