Classy, popular venue. Lively atmosphere and lots of activity. Book ahead for a table. Good food. Not the cheapest prices but worth at least one visit!

This is a great restaurant, you can book birthdays here as well. The food was divine but a little pricey, so were the drinks.
The service was fairly okay as it was extremely busy but the staff were friendly and happy to take your order.
Great table arrangements and an outdoor setting as well.
Highly recommend!

The food is great, although the menu is a bit limited. You need to book a table as it gets very busy in here at the weekends. The kids meals are very good and the portions are a good size.

I do enjoy this place but my last few visits have left me a bit disappointed. I feel that the service is really lacking. I get the idea of go up to the counter and order/pay rather than being served but if you dare ask the wait staff to do something for you etc you get stared at like you're crazy. No eftpos frustrates me as does having to pay for your drinks and food seperate (and line up twice etc). The food is nice, they do yummy chips and offer a huge range so it's always nice to be able to have pretty much anything you feel like. I will still go back again, I hope it improves

We have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and has always been great. The last few times haven't been so great. The food isn't as good and the service is next to none. It seems they are more focused on getting the numbers in than focussing on the service and the food quality. Won't be frequenting this restaurant as often in the future.

Approximate cost: $30

Overall fairly good food, huge servings, and cheaper prices than most pubs. They don't take credit cards. Needs a bit of a make over.

Great big meals, always very busy so can get a bit noisy, sit outside if you can it lovely out there. Food is very tasty and is mostly great. can be annoying having to order food and drinks at 2 spots but otherwise great!

As I dined just before Christmas, the atmosphere was great. The staff were efficient and friendly considering how busy it was. The food was of not of the best quality (floury salt and pepper squid was my complaint) but it was large serves and there was something on the menu for all tastes. I would return here for the good vibe the place has.

Great value for money - good prices for large serves that are delicious! The bar staff are average though. Even so, I would highly recommend this place :)

Good casual restaurant to casually dine with a few friends, pay your own way so none of those stupid hassles with seperate billing etc. bad side is they don't take card so you have to pay cash but there is an ATM in the foyer that you can use. No table service either so get up order yourself etc. My fav here is the chilli mussels, they are so big they hardly fit on the table

Normally very good overall. The ribs are normally the best but last time was below average which has made me look for somewhere else for ribs

Always so busy and I can see why! It's a bit annoying that you have to order at the counter but not really a problem. Lovely place to go for a Sunday lunch in the beer garden, just make sure you book in advance!

Went out to celebrate daughters birthday Monday night, Had a nice night and everyone enjoyed their meals, good pub food is how I describe this place.
Meals came out in a reasonable time considering how many people were dining (on a monday night..?)
Only Downside comments are that they do not have EFTPOS (ATM available in Entrance) which this day and age is really odd. Also the need to have to order meals at the front bar when you have been seated in the back room is a bit rough - no table service (We had one invalid who wanted to ask some questions relating the what they were going to order)

Good pub-grub! Large portions. Never had a problem with service. Quite noisy on one side - often find myself having to strain to hear conversation at the other end of a long table. Otherwise food tasty, no complaints about service and good value for money.

Great food and friendly atmosphere, food was of a good quality and served in a timely manner by professional staff. Was a cosy family friendly resaurant although the noise level was excessive at times.

It is a nice restraunt, but the more i go, the more dissapointing it gets..
THE MEALS ARE BEAUTIFUL - large and very tasty..
drinks are getting a bit expensive..
i always find my table waits the longest for food, up to 2 hours sometimes. so i spend too much money on drinks while i wait..
good for large groups though... just make sure you tell them when the last person has ordered so they will process your tables orders...

Great value, service is good, although it is a standing joke with my family to see who it is that wont get their meal. One of us always seems to be forgotten by the kitchen :)

Really great venue for a casual family meal. Kids are catered for. Huge portions! Great Value. Have had several large group meals there and the food usually comes out all together which is important. Books up really quickly so you need to book in advance. Dont think you can phone late on a Saturday afternoon and get in because you will be disappointed.

Approximate cost: $20-25

Really large serving size and good price too. Not a la carte, but a casual place for a good meal. Families or singles can dine here comfortably and there is enough selection to cater to all tastes.

My family and I go there several times a year for dinner because their food's delicious and it's great value in a great atmosphere. The meals are huge - I've never been able to eat a full plate or stay for dessert

I love Nicholsons. We live a bit far away but make the trip when we are craving their delicious food. Their Honey and Mustard Chicken is so yummy. Hubby loved their steak sandwich.

We found the condition of this restaurant appalling. It was pricey. Had to get up to the counter to order. Food took more than an 1.5 before it arrived, and the food was below qualitiy. I personally wouldnt go there again.

we have found this restaurant to offer good quality and a large range of meals. It is always very busy but the wait for your order is very acceptable. The steaks are always cooked just as ordered.

Approximate cost: $30
