I absolutely adored this place - the wine list was fantastic as was the food selection. I do not have a single complaint about the service. It had an ambience which is hard to find in Sydney.

This review is for Quakers Hill Inn, Quakers Hill NSW

Quakers Inn is one of few restaurants in Quakers Hill and I think the place in pretty decent. The pub area sells drinks and you can buy old favourites like burgers and chips for cheap but the restaurant definitely has a wider variety of cuisine ranging from European dishes such as Pastas, to traditional Australian favourites like Steaks and chicken burgers.

The $6.50 roast of the day is good value plus there is always a good range of mouthwatering desserts such as mousse and mud cakes. The place is child friendly with a kids menu and kids play area and there. It would be a lot better if service was improved but other than that its a great place for locals in Quakers Hill.

Buy jugs of drinks, you'll save heaps. (jug of soft drink cost $4.50 as compared to $2.50 for a glass) same goes for beer, cheaper with a jug, food tastes great and it's always busy fri/sat because of the food, not sure why this pub would receive low scores, we go all the time and if we're stuck on a good place thats reliable, yummy and got a large menu with plenty of specials, we choose this pub. Gone there 4-5 times in the past 3 months. If you haven't gone, definitely go.

Had lunch here today for the first time in a year and it is still just as great as always. The food is spot on and cheap and the beers are too. Yes, the bar is very much a dive, but that adds to the ambience of the place. It hasn't sold it's soul to the fancy shmancy pubs which renovate and then jack up the prices. Yet, it has a really nice outdoor area. It is an interesting place for people watching as well! Lot's of characters.

The food is good, comparable to other good lebanese places I've been too but I found their meat mixed grill option is a little pricey and looks smaller for what you get compare to my favourite lebanese places. Their vegetarian platter isn't worth $16 but their fried cauliflower is great! Their chicken is a little better than other bbq chicken places, and the garlic dip with it is very tasty.

Ambience, its clean and there is an outdoor section which had a see through plastic sheet acting as walls when its cold but I wonder how warm you will get, but they do have those heaters commonly found at other places. Service, the food came out within a reasonable amount of time. Value: its reasonably priced but isn't as cheap as my favourite lebanese places.

Overall a good experience, what it does have over other lebanese places is coffee and dessert options. The fried cauliflower is a must try.

The turnover in the buffet is enormous.The food is always fresh and the atmosphere is always noisy but not chaotic like in some buffets.Staff come around and clear your plates at every opportunity and the price is cheap for the selection of food you can choose from.

Some of the meals at the Glaze bistro are beautiful and tasty yet most are smothered in garlic and uneatable eg the garlic bread and the lambs fry.I love garlic but this garlic is the granules and they have got too heavy handed with it.The deserts are all mouthwatering.

Approximate cost: $12

I was expecting a really sleazy place but it has a very family oriented feel and even though the girls wear orange shorts and a singlet top,its not sleazy at all.There are alot of plaques on the walls that would keep the kids attention and lots of tv's for them to watch .The meals are huge and reasonably priced.

Approximate cost: $15

The bistro in there makes a tasty and affordable selection of food and the atmosphere is warm and inviting for all members of the family.The serving size is good enough to feed anyone and they even help if you need a doggy bag to take leftovers in.They always have specials and the beer @ the pub is always cold and never overpriced.
