We had a quick lunch at Debacle recently. I thought the food was a little over-priced, but it was well-presented, and better-than-average pub grub. The staff were very pleasant and attentive.

Nice atmosphere, decent enough food, good customer service. A good place to go with a group for the ability to get a large table, large variety of food choices and the ability to split the bill.

Great pizzas, good crust, good toppings. Happy to accommodate group bookings. Fantastic service, massive selection of beers on tap, in bottles as well as a good selection of ciders.

Good food, great staff and service. However we were there and it was a really hot day and it seemed that the air con was not working the best and there were only 3 ceiling fans. Was the only down side of the night. Maybe stick to this place when it is not a hot day/night.

Hyped up as 'ever reliable' and 'great value' by my mates, I thought, surely this won't be a debacle, and it had better be one of the better haunts in Canberra. In terms of beer available, it is, but with variety comes high price for these beers.... really high prices. The food appears good on the menu, but it really is very simple and in my case, it wasn't well executed (Aussie Hot Dog).... I'll still give it a another go on the basis of their beer menu, but I won't expect much out of the kitchen.

Approximate cost: $24

Good things: 2 for 1 pizzas on Mondays and Tuesdays (dine in only, must book, two sittings - 6pm and 8pm); pizzas are good and generously sized; the other meals are also good; there's a HUGE range of beer on tap; their desserts change often are are usually divine; it's beautiful to sit outside in summer; they can be very accommodating for large groups.

Less good things: It is LOUD inside! Hard to hear your friends talk, especally if they're not sitting directly next to/across from you. The breakfast was only ordinary/acceptable, not as good as the rest of their food. The 6pm/8pm sittings thing can be annoying, but on the other hand, I'm pretty sure it's just for cheap pizza night.

Approximate cost: $20

The 2 for 1 pizza deals are fantastic, adn they have a good selection of beers and ciders (pear cider in particular) to create a good pub-style meal.

I really enjoy Debacle, and even had a birthday shindig here. The staff are pleasant, the cafe is relaxed, and the food is pretty great! Check out the pizza deals or enjoy a lazy breakfast.

Great atmosphere, food and staff. My only gripe was the grossness of the kitchen that you can see from the bar!!! Dirty equipment and floors, needs a good scrub!

I have eaten here several times over the years, and the food is consistently of a high standard. The pizzas have a wide range of toppings, and are fairly reasonably priced.
The staff are friendly and helpful. It does get packed out in the evenings and on the weekend, so book in advance for a table.

We had our work xmas party here so keep that in mind that this review is for them serving a big group a banquet. Not very good, the pizza was undercooked, the pasta was like tin spaggetti. The saving grace was the salads which were innovative and really yummy.

Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The food is great and the prices are fairly reasonable. 2 for 1 pizzas on Monday and Tuesday are a bonus for those on a budget! Brunch on the weekeds is also great but booking is a must!

Been here a couple of times, once for a work function and another out with friends. The tapas type lunch menu we had was really tasty. A good selection of food. The pizzas were also quite nice.
I also went another time and ordered the tandoori pizza, but there wasn't much topping and too much dough.
So a bit of a mixed experience, but i would go again. A great place to catch up with friends.

I found the food to be fairly overpriced, $20 for unimpressive fish and chips and the serving was not very large either. Took ages for our food to arrive.

Debacle is great. The atmosphere is friendly, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. Half price pizzas on Monday and Tuesday are the best. Definitely recommend this restaurant for a good night out.

Debacle is damn superb. With over 120 beers on the menu what more do you need? It is super tres. It has some wicked beers on tap, and shows the footy on the big screen when its on. The pizzas are half price on Monday and Tuesdays too which is a right royal bargain. Go Debac's, you are the best.

This pizza joint do a great range of gourmet pizzas and have a huge selection of world beer. Everything is super fresh, and the pizzas taste great. The service takes ages though. We waited over an hour and a half for our pizzas, so don't go there if you are in a hurry. They only have 2 sittings a night, so everyone comes together, which might explain the time delay between ordering and the food arriving.
