Love the Vegetarian and Chicken pizzas and wine by the glass from here. They have a great happy hour special that runs during the week- very cheap

Happy hour is good value for money and their pizzas here are really delicious. Especially the gourmet vegetable it's a winner every time.

I recommend the Happy hour weekdays until 7pm. Wedges are good as are the calamari and chips.

This is one of the best value options for a sit-down meal at Southland outside of the food court. They have a lunch deal which includes a wine and tea/coffee. The food is quite decent. I like the BBQ chicken pizza, or calamari if I'm in the mood for something fried.

Approximate cost: $15

Pre-movie flat white coffee and cookie. Quick service. Nice coffee as in I noticed it was smooth and not bitter. Had a yoyo cookie as a sugar hit and mini indulgence. Newspaper reviewed and all good. Top marks for having the paper and good coffee. Choice of table. Will be back.

It is a great place for dinner.the meals are a good size,fresh and delicious. They are also well priced.
The staff are so friendly and offer great service.
The atmosphere is relaxed and there are plenty of tables to choose.
There is a fantastic range of drinks.
It is close to the movies and there are lots of shops if you feel like shopping.

Recommend the veggie pizza and the bruschetta. Super friendly service and they remember all of their regulars. Great happy hour running during the week also :-D

3 adults & 2 kids dined here tonight. Firstly, the waiter couldn't answer even one question that we asked! Every time we had questions about a meal or a menu listing, he had no answer for us and had to go check for us, gave us wrong info on flavour of kids pizza (told us one thing then came back to say no sorry), couldn't tell us if Fanta was a drink they offered, couldn't explain numerous ingredients on menu including what the fish was in the meals we ordered!
2 adults ordered the 'beer battered fish with chips & calamari'. Both were served with salad which consisted of mushy cucumber, squashed old, once-diced tomato which all looked like it came from the back of a fridge about a week ago! I asked for a replacement (as they apparently thought serving soggy salad was alright) where I received a bowl of a 'different' salad- dumped onto my table by the female manager!
Next, I started eating my awfully over-fried battered fish & calamari rings and the fish was not fresh (super fishy smell and awful mouth-feel). Then just when I think this enough is enough, I find a black short n' curly hair which I think looked like a 'pubic hair' on my plate!!!!! Saying I wasn't impressed was an understatement!
I showed the female manager who didn't apologise and organised me a new serve of the fish n calamari rings. This was delivered by the uneducated male waiter, who basically threw down my plate in front of me without saying a word! I was shocked and so was my sister who saw it!
The replaced meal was not as over-fried, but the fish was simply not fresh and was disgusting to eat! I was with others at the table who can verify what I'm saying here. We told the manager that we weren't paying for the 2 fish meals and she never said a thing, no apology, no nothing.. She couldn't have cared less!
Never eating there again! Don't bother!

Approximate cost: $25

Sounds like a one-off. The food and service here is usually really good!

Lovely food, excellent service, excellent range, especially glutenfree. Every month I organise a lunch for 20/30 people & it has never disappointed.
I would be happy to take anyone there at any time.
The price is easily within everyones range, & the special lunch menu is the best value in all of Southland. Dare I say, even further afield?

Approximate cost: $13.9

My tip is the honey mustard roast chicken, the bruschetta or the roast vegetable pizza. Great for a quick drink and meal before the movies. Meals usually take around 20-25 minutes to get ready. The Happy Hour is great value too. :-)

Love the lunch special offer, have been back 3 times now, and taken different family members.
Red Corner is so convenient to the Southland theatres, perfect for pre-theatre lunch. Food was first class.

We found that our meals were delicious and upon arrival the staff were extremely helpful. The menu had fantastic specials. Upon departure we noticed that the tables were cleaned instantly.
We bought this deal from Our Deal vouchers and will highly recommend the Red Corner Café to all our friends and family.

I'm yet to have a bad experience here. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the breakfasts and sides are always consistently good although the pancakes did taste a bit off and like it had been cooked on the same grill as something else, as it had a fishy after taste, this was disappointing.

Approximate cost: $20

Visited during the week and took advantage of their lunchtime deals. The food was good value, tasty and the staff were very accommodating of kids

Red Corner Cafe is perfect for dinner before the movies as the service is pretty quick and the food not too expensive. My favourite meal is the satay chicken pizza which comes on a long Turkish style pizza base. They could be a bit more generous with the amount of chicken on top but it is very tasty and good value for the price. You can sit at the bar and watch sport on the tv or sit at the back in their restaurant style seating.

Great place for dinner before/after a movie at Southland. Varied menu that should satisfy most people. I particularly like the pizzas. The staff cater to my requests to alter items on the menu, and have always been friendly and attentive. Great selection of desserts and fresh cakes, and yummy cocktails.

Red Corner is easy and conveniently located right near the cinemas at southland. I always go for after work drinks or a meal. The service is always super friendly, all the girls that work there are lovely!
Some meals are better than others. The honey mustard roast chicken is delicious as is the bruschetta!

I've been going here for more years than I can remember; well, since they opened!
Inevitably all my nearest and dearest have ended up here too.
Whether after shopping or before/after a flick, we go to Red Corner
The menu isn't be 5 pages long; it may be a small menu, but they do it very well! I can honestly say that we've never had a bad meal there - and the coffee is excellent!
The staff are friendly, but professional and the prices reasonable, (the lunch meal deal is especially economical!)
When in Southland, we keep coming back.
Definitely worth your time and hard earned $$.

I've been a Red Corner diner for a few years. I love the lunch time special menu it is amazing value. The staff at Red are very welcoming and always make my dining outing an even better. All my friends love to meet there even if it's just for a drink or coffee. Most important you have to try it yourself and if your lucky to have April as your waitress you will have a great laugh too.

I have enjoyed three visits to Red Corner Cafe in Southland, once for coffee and cake and twice for lunch and cake with family, I was greeted by a smiling staff member every time, nothing was too much trouble, table was clean, iced water was complimentary, the coffee excellent and I am very fussy with my coffee, good value the lunch combo as we got cold drink and coffee included, we only paid extra for dessert, clean serviettes with every course and plenty of cutlery as we all shared all the desserts, also I think the variety in the combo lunches is amazing and plenty to choose from, we have no intention of stopping after three times, we will continue to support the business, thank you to everyone connected with Red Corner Cafe, congratulations, and please keep up the good work and the enthusiasm.
