Crib Tin — Restaurant in Broken Hill

I have never before had the smallest urge to complain about service in my life, but my family had a truly terrible experience here last year.

First, we waited about 15-20 minutes for (part of) our order to arrive, and we had to check on it for this to happen. Not itself an issue but there was no apology from the staff. Second and much worse, one of the juices didn't arrive, we again checked on the order, and a young woman finally came over to tell us (in a strangely aggressive tone) that they didn't have the main ingredient for that juice -- again, with no apology.

I told her it would have been nice to know this at the time of the order (really I was just responding to her tone and lack of apology - I would normally have had no problem with a mistake like this). She responded that she had in fact told us, even though she wasn't the one to take the order! Very strange.

We waited another ~10 minutes for the last item we ordered, a piece of banana bread, which arrived burnt and was almost thrown down on the table by the same woman. We asked for a refund for that item only, based on the long time it took.

In addition, a third of the plate was smeared with a mystery orange sauce that tasted predominantly of vinegar and the barest hint of pickled jalapeño. It was not tasty, clashed with the flavour of the salmon and overwhelmed the eggs. My husband ordered a breakfast tortilla which he found a little bland. Strangely, the mystery orange sauce was also on his plate. Whilst considerably more complimentary to the meal, it did little to enchanted the flavours. I would consider going back for another juice but would be unlikely to...

Who would have thought that you could get a decent cafe style breakfast in remote outback NSW.

This little cafe is open everyday of week and churning out great liquid black gold and delicious meals.

There is plenty of seating indoors or if it’s not too hot outside grab a chair on the curb side settings.

The staff are super friendly and accomodating.

The eggs benny is delicious and the serving sizes and price on point.

Grab one of their freshly squeezed juice combinations, they...
