This review is for Taco Bill Mexican Restaurant, Springvale VIC

Service was appalling, rude staff, no smile, walked away halfway through taking our order.

Food was bland in no way resembles Mexican flavours. Dessert may as well have come from a can. Did not even respond when one of our party pointed out our dissatisfaction.

Will never be back! Disgraceful!

This review is for Daniel's donuts, Springvale VIC

Only found this place for the first time this week and been here twice already... there is a massive range of donuts and I can't wait to try them all... So far I can say the ones i have tried are the freshest donuts I have ever tried, my taste buds were in heaven to the very last bite. The coffee is also amazing. The lamb pies are rather good and the curry pie is only so so. But on the whole I am in love with this place and will be buying a donut every day until I have sampled the entire range.

This review is for Bega Caravan Park, Bega NSW

Recently taken over by new owners who have been working hard to improve the park. The new owners are very friendly and welcoming and keep a very tidy well maintained park. The amenities are modern and immaculately clean. Good level sites, plenty of water pressure and stable power. Free wifi for guests is available 1200/500mbps speed (get code from Matt or Shae when you check-in). Limited number of sites for 5th wheelers so book ahead if your in a bigger van. They were putting the finishing touches on the new cabins while I was there and they look amazing. I spent 2 weeks here and wish I had time to stay longer. Will definitely be back.

On Wednesday night travelling from Bega to Melbourne I stopped here to park my Caravan for the night... This tiny little country pub just off the highway becomes extremely busy come dinner time and after having a meal here, I understand why. They have a number of Parmigiana options, I went with the Jim Beam BBQ Parma. I can not fault it in any way, the large chicken breast schnitzel was super juicy and topped with Jim Beam BBQ sauce, bacon, cheese and the most amazing onion rings I have ever eaten. On the side was a very fresh salad with house made dressing and a large serve of chips with an amazing outer crunch and velvet centres. My only complaint is it is too far from home to go every week. You simply must try this place and if your traveling with a caravan, Garry will direct you where to park for the night and make you most welcome, he will even offer you a hot shower. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the food is absolutely stunning.

Absolutely amazing, fresh, plenty of topping, fantastic flavour and much better value than any of the big pizza chains for the same price or less. This will be my new new regular pizza shop.

Absolutely stunning! Today I had the chunky steak pie. The pastry was perfect, the filling was rich in flavours with an amazing melody of herbs, the steak pieces were cut to just the right size and melted in the mouth. I have just one complaint, not big enough. I finished up with the vanilla slice, near perfect pastry with a light and creamy vanilla custard and topped with a passion fruit icing. The proportion of custard to icing needs work as the sweet icing overrode the creamy vanilla custard but otherwise perfection. I will definitely return next time I am in the area.

This review is for Rustys Pizza, Macksville NSW

Last night I had the Large (13”) BBQ Meatlovers and garlic bread. I was amazed at the freshness of all the ingredients and this made the flavour shine through. The only thing I would have liked to see is some really nice streaky bacon instead of the diced processed stuff they used. Some some streaky bacon would have made this a perfect 5 star pizza but definitely still worth trying this place out, you won’t be disappointed. The owners are extremely welcoming and passionate about what they do and this shows in the cleanliness and appearance of the store and freshness in the ingredients.

This morning I had the “Poached Eggs with Bacon”. The presentation was amazing and I was excited until I started to eat. My eggs were very over cooked resulting in dry yolks, the sour dough was toasted rock hard and my bacon was like chewing an old boot. The attractive smear of relish they got out of a bottle was the most enjoyable element. Very disappointing. My latte was also burnt.

Today I had the lunch special, lasagna with chips and salad. The lasagna was light and full of flavour, although being a little sweeter than I would expect from a lasagna I must say it worked very well. The salad was fresh with a zesty dressing which had fantastic flavour but was a little too thin. The chips had the perfect outer crunch with a fluffy centre. The service was a bit clumsy but overall, almost perfect.

Today I had the Eggs Benedict (with Grilled Ham) add hash browns. The eggs were poached to perfection, the ham had a great smoked flavour and the hollandaise sauce was an amazingly creamy texture with a nice zesty finish. The hash browns weren’t quite as crispy on the outside as I like but I can forgive that considering the quality of the Eggs Benedict. The service is friendly and efficient, the decor is pleasant and inviting. Definitely must try this place if your in the area.
