Great cuts of meat and great service, this is Broadford's only butcher, but it would beat any competition.
Owned by big bad Barry Hall, this pub is great, with bands playing there very often and good food to boot. This is a great pub on Melbourne's outskirts.
I will tell you right now, this is the BEST Chinese restaurant in the Mitchell Shire! I went there one day with the family and had Peking Duck, it was brilliant, the marinade perfectly suited the duck and it was nice and tender. The staff were friendly and it was a pleasure talking to them. The food was at a great price and the meals filled me up nicely, it was a great lunch and I will recommend it to my mates.
Cliftons On High is an upper class cafe in the small town of Broadford, I must say, the food's quality is amazing and the staff are very friendly. The prices are a bit high, but that's what you would expect for the quality of the food. Cliftons is generally a busy cafe but the staff do their best to make sure that everyone gets the best service possible. I would definitely recommend this to a rich friend to impress him/her ;)
This place is great for a cheap bite to eat, $5 got me a "snack" pack which I could hardly finish, and I'm a big eater. This place is well known by nearly everyone in Broadford, and that's not a bad thing.
Approximate cost: $5
This would definitely be one of the best places to buy lunch in Kilmore. I usually get a 1/4 chicken and chips with gravy from there and I love it. The staff are very friendly and know how to cook a good chicken. Value-wise, they are pretty good, not the best but they're good value meals. The chicken's never dry, the chips are never oily and the gravy is brilliant. This is a great takeaway shop and I would definitely recommend.
Broadford Timber and Hardware is just your average small business, their prices aren't great, but their quality and staff are excellent. They only have a handfull of people running it, but it has been a great business in Broadford since before I was born. There's heaps of items and a lot of it is great quality too. Mitre10 or Bunnings is better, but this is a local small business and I support it!
The doctors there are great, they definitely know what they are talking about and will give that good advice to you right away. There is often a long wait in the waiting rooms though, at least 30 minutes usually. The value is really good, this medical center is easy on the wallet. Very happy to have this place available locally, just put a couple of games on your phone before you go.
Broadford Secondary College is by far the best public secondary college in the area. Most of the teachers are caring and want to make the child/adolescent's education as good as possible. The school itself is quite large, there are many classrooms, a football oval, a basketball court, tennis courts and they even make use of the nearby stadium. The school goes from year 7-12 and many of the students are quite high achievers. There are a lot of children who don't really care about their schooling, though this is mainly in the lower year levels and the kids get more mature by their senior years or leave. Quite a good school and a lower cost alternative to the private schools around the area.
Not necessarily the cleanest railway station, and there can be quite a few troublemakers, but there are public service officers constantly at the station, the staff are okay, but a smile every now and then would be a plus. There are vending machines and a few fast food stores right near the station, there is also a major shopping center right across the road. Overall it's an okay station that's just happened to be positioned perfectly.
