Eat-It Cafe & Takeaway — Restaurant in Coonabarabran

We went to have a look at this cafe because they had a Big Coke Can on their roof. We saw people eating in and lot's of people getting takeaway which is always a good sign that the food is good. Well it was absolutely delicious and so very happy we decided to eat in. We both had a Burger with the Works and boy did it have everything on it. Loved the square rolls they used which was a much better idea than the round hamburger rolls and a great change. Real Hamburgers that tasted delicious. Then we ordered a Small chips which came out in a Big Bowl, Certainly a decent enough serve that we couldn't finish them all. Chips were cooked perfect and just the right amount of salt that didn't over take the taste of the chip. $10 each for the Burgers, differently worth it. $4.50 for Small Chips which was a Big Serve. Lovely happy staff, enjoying jokes as the worked which was terrific to see. It is our regret that we didn't find this Cafe earlier and not on our last day as I'm sure we would have eaten there for the 5 days we stayed in Coonabarabran. I will be telling all our friends to make sure they go there when they are in Town, we were visiting from the Gold Coast. Check out the size of the Burger & Chips. Plus this place gets extra credit for having a Big Coke Can, a little bit warn out but still...

One Star – Never Again

Dropped into Eat It Takeaway in Coonabarabran for a quick lunch and left seriously regretting it. I ordered a small chips and gravy plus a chicken schnitzel roll. The chips were hot but half-cooked—like they’d been pulled out before they were ready.

But the real disaster was the schnitzel. I watched the guy nuke it in the microwave, tear open a plastic bag, and toss it onto the grill. Sure, it ended up golden and crisp on the outside—but inside it was wet, rubbery, and downright revolting. It was clearly some pre-packaged mess that had no business being passed off as freshly cooked.

To be fair, the bun was actually great, the salad was crisp, and the mayo was fine—but that doesn’t save a meal when the main part of it is borderline inedible. I couldn’t even finish it.

For a place selling takeaway food, they’ve nailed the “take it away” part—but they might want to work on the “food”...

In the middle of winter, I wanted a salad for lunch (gluten free makes lunches difficult to purchase for takeaway). They were the only place in town that had a chicken salad in a bowl on offer. It was so value packed with a wide variety of salad - SO yummy and filling! I added the sweet potato wedges - double YUM! Highly recommend this place. A wide variety of takeaway food on offer with booths you can sit in to eat in store, or take away and enjoy the outdoors in the park just...
