Went here with my sister in-law as she liked the name of this cafe and thought we should try it. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. Average customer service, average tasting coffee and found the food pricey. After trying the coffee we only ordered something light to eat - just a muffin each as we were concerned as to how long it would take to be served. We believe they forgot about our order, as when I asked after 20 minutes, it arrived straight away. Not somewhere I would return.

Went here with the family and everyone absolutely loved it. We felt like we were in America in the 1950's. As for the food, fabulous! No complaints, so much to choose from. We decided to try their chilli fries and buffalo wings as a shared entree. Their burgers were enormous and absolutely delicious, I could not finish mine. My husband tried the ribs and wow did he enjoy them. Others tried their nachos, hot dogs and interesting flavoured milkshakes, such as oreos and reeces pieces. The desserts looked amazing, but we could not fit anything else in. This is such a great place to go if you are looking for something different and fun. Great atmosphere and very fast friendly service. The only thing is that if you have high cholesterol, heart problems or diabetes you may need some attention after your meal. You have been warned!!!!!!! Definitely returning, Definitely recommend.

A family member suggested we try this cafe as we were in the area, I am so glad that we did. Being a hot day we just wanted something light to eat and a cool drink. Tried their Iced Coffee (around $3) absolutely delicious and refreshing, tried their chicken wrap and of course my husband had the double beef burger and said it was awesome. Some of my family members tried the vegie wrap and burger as well. No one was disappointed with their meals. It was quite busy being the holiday season but our meals came out promptly and the staff were quite friendly.

This review is for Lemon Leaf Thai Restaurant, Wantirna South VIC

Have dined here a few times now, but on our latest occasion we all decided to get take away. I mainly like their Satay Skewers, they are a family favourite. We also ordered the Pad Thai, everyone enjoyed the noodles. Unfortunately they did get our order wrong with one of our main meals missing. I guess that is why our order was ready so quickly. Usually, we don't have any issues, but they were quite busy on the day we were there.

Came across this cafe whilst going for a pleasant afternoon drive. We stopped for a coffee and tried their scones with jam and cream. Truly delicious! My husband tried one of their burgers and thought it was pretty good. Very friendly atmosphere, generous portions and reasonably priced.

Tried this Cafe on our return from Melbourne for a quick lunch as a friend suggested we give them a go. I am glad we did, their souvlaki was delicious and I have to say everyone else enjoyed their fish, burgers and chips. Everything tasted fresh and cooked perfectly. Very friendly staff and only had to wait 15 minutes for our meals. Definitely recommend you try, we will be returning.

Stopped here for breakfast on our way to Melbourne and had a scrumptious breakfast. I have to say I was quite impressed with this Hotel, they have a cafe type area aswell as a restaurant with outside dining aswell. I was told that they had recently renovated, well it was great. The staff were very friendly and our meals were served promptly. Their bacon, eggs, snaggs and tomatoes - delicious! Definitely a great place to go for breakfast.

Had lunch here with my family on our way to Melbourne. I have to say we certainly enjoyed their double beef burgers and chicken schnitzel. The servings were very generous which was great because after a long drive we were really looking forward to having something to eat. It really hit the spot. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

This review is for Oak Tree Tavern, The Basin VIC

Have been here twice on our travels to Melbourne as we have family living nearby. It's very popular with the locals and we found them to be very welcoming on both occasions. Their seafood is a must - garlic prawns and salt and pepper calamari, absolutely delicious. Just found the service a bit slow. They have an extensive menu, a little pricey, but the meals are delicious.

This review is for Seacliff Beach Hotel, Seacliff SA

Well the service was at least reasonable, a great view from the balcony, but the food disappointing. Found that the squid was quite rubbery, steak chewy and the chips soggy or over cooked. We ate here twice in the hope that the second time round would be better as it really is a nice place to go for a meal. We will not be returning.
