I was here for a work function. There were 11 of us and we could barely hear each other speaking and had to keep switching places to sit right next to the person you were speaking with. The noise from the bar was echoing around the barn-like room. It was also very hot - we were fanning each other with the menu!
After we got the wait staff's attention and ordered, the food took 1hr 15mins to arrive to the table. Two meals had to be sent back to the kitchen. One meal was "forgotten" by the chef and came out quite a while after the others. The waitress did offer a free drink from the bar to compensate those people.
There was no consistency in the meals - 3 of us ordered a Caesar Salad with Calamari: one was huge but missing key ingredients; one was tiny; and one was average but came without dressing and anchovies as requested. The salads were in no way like a Caesar Salad. The 1 egg per salad was over-boiled and rubbery and I had 4 pieces of calamari while my colleague had at least 10! It was very tasteless and disappointing.
For the size of the meals and the very poor quality, the prices were very high.
If it weren't for the great crowd I was with it would have been a dismal evening. I would not go back there.

Approximate cost: $22

I come away with a great haircut every time for a really great price. The hairdresser I see is a wonderful stylist - everyone who leaves her chair looks amazing!
The staff are all friendly & polite.
The worst thing is you have to plan ahead to get an appointment with the girl I use . . . she has a lot of clients so it's hard to get seen in a hurry.

Approximate cost: $14 - with no shampoo but includes a quick blow dry.

I'm not all that up-to-date with the latest Nintendo DS & PSP games so probably looked a little lost when looking for suitable games for my kids. A staff member obviously noticed my puzzled look & offered help. He was amazing! He explained games accurately, picked out a few for me to look at & then narrowed it down to 3 for me to choose from. He made it so much easier to find a suitable game & answered all my questions thoroughly.

Approximate cost: $55 for 2 pre-owned games

This store has an awesome range of products . . . you could spend hours looking, but when you are ready to buy, make sure you have an extra 15 - 20 mins to get through the check out! The staff are nice, but slow on the check out process.

This review is for Candy Time, Loganholme QLD

What makes this store great is the range of American candy it stocks. It isn't big, but it has all the basic & well known candies such as Hershey's, Tootsie Rolls, Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, Butterfingers, Twizzlers, Turtles etc.
Due to import duties the prices are high, but for a special treat they are not too bad.

This store has very helpful & friendly staff. They answered my questions but didn't hover too much. The store has a great product range & is clean & easy to move around in.

The price you pay for the food is definitely NOT worth it. The food is such poor quality, tastes terrible & is not well presented. The decor is tired & old - it needs to be refreshed.

This review is for IGA Meadowbrook, Meadowbrook QLD

Unfortunately this place is never a joy to enter. All buy one of the staff are unfriendly & unhelpful. The store doesn't honour all IGA specials & it seems to be low on stock a lot. It is not a well presented store & doesn't feel nice to be in. I try not to go there unless I really get caught out.

This pharmacy is one of the very few after hours pharmacies around. It's small but has heaps of stock, & the staff are really helpful. They served me quickly & answered all my questions thoroughly.
