This review is for Nonna's Restaurants, Biggera Waters QLD

verified email - 14 Sep 2013

Very unique concept. Located at the front of the eatery in the middle of Harbourtown. This is one 'super restaurant'. There is a Nonna's Seafood, Steakhouse and Italian. They are all in a row, you get a menu for all 3 places when you sit down.

It is busy and buzzing- the sign of a good restaurant. The waitresses are warm and friendly, they take your order on a handheld 'palm pilot'. This means the order goes straight to the kitchen. We got our entrée in 10 minutes and main meal in 15! And they were delicious!
A great experience!

Approximate cost: $20.00

This place is very hidden at the end of the eatery section of Harbourtown.
Its not just a restaurant, but an experience. It is set out like a vintage American diner. The walls are filled with pictures, records, signed items. There is also a section at the back where you can buy collectibles.
The food is delicious. The Texan cheeseburger is to die for!

This hotel ticks every box for me. The room I stayed in had a kitchen, so while I didn't cook food- was able to store snacks and drinks. Had a lounge room, with a modern television and very comfortable couch. The bedroom had the bathroom attached with a spa bath! Glorious.
The hotel is right on the monorail, that goes over to the casino and Pacific Fair. Plus there is a restaurant underneath and across the road a small shopping precinct with everything you need. Highly recommend this hotel!

This review is for Terry White Chemist, Booval QLD

I use this chemist a lot. It is very convenient, as you can put in your script, get your grocery shopping done across from them at Woolworths, then pick up your script on the way out.

The staff are okay, not always the greatest. Often you can be left waiting for a while, but when you get served they are very friendly.
The girls at the prescription counter are very helpful, and with a little baby I ask them for a lot of advice!

This review is for Indian Mehfil, Ipswich QLD

I personally think that this is not just one of the best Indian restaurants in Ipswich, but in the whole of Brisbane.
It is not a 5 star restaurant, so there are some faults. Like the furniture is a bit worn etc. But I think it adds to the décor. It is beautiful, dark furniture, low lighting.
The staff are lovely, even when they don't quite understand, they politely ask to repeat. They will try very hard to please you.
And the food is just spectacular! Let yourself know that I am a hard person to please as well!

This review is for Eyes On Brassall, Brassall QLD

I booked an appointment to get my eyes re-tested and was going to buy my glasses here. Wanted to change from the big 'global' chains like OPSM.
I did not enjoy the experience at all. I knew what I wanted and the staff tried to push me into other things. Wouldn't listen to what I needed, rather just tried to sell me what they liked.
I also don't mind paying a bit extra for a more personalised experience, but this place is a lot more expensive than other optometrists.

This review is for Ultra Tune, Ipswich QLD

Have had my car serviced here twice. Quite happy with their work, I perhaps got talked into getting more done than was truly needed, but it is my own fault for not questioning it.
The work they did was good quality and nothing played up afterwards.

This review is for Queens Park Cafe, Ipswich QLD

I didn't even know this place existed until last year. It is a shame that they don't advertise more, because this place has a lot of potential. Lovely big spacious area, overlooking the park, with a big wrap around veranda. Staff are very friendly. Food is similar to pub food. A little expensive, but still delicious!

Approximate cost: $20.00

This review is for Hungry Jacks, Booval QLD

This place very rarely gets the order wrong, so that is one of the positives.

However, the carpark is terrible! Whether you want to go through the drive through or park and go in, you will get carpark rage. There is barely room to reverse anywhere, a sharp corner in the drive through, then the entrance/exit has room for one car each way!

This review is for Graeme Crookes Discount Tyres, North Ipswich QLD

verified email - 12 Sep 2013

We recently had an emergency. Our car had a flat tyre, the spare was a cheap donut tyre that wouldn't hold any here. We were stuck with our newborn baby, in a black car on a hot day.

This company took our car in that day, did a service and replaced the tyres for us. All at a good price, considering we didn't really have any option to shop around. Very annoyed, considering our car is only 4 years old!

Approximate cost: $150
