Deniliquin RSL Club — Restaurant in Deniliquin

We travel from Melbourne through New South Wales and Queensland regularly. In Victoria RSLsocial members can use their card at any Victorian venue and reap the benefits. I have an RSL membership in Queensland and the same applies. I decided therefore I would join Deniliquin RSL as we come through here often on our travels. Found out membership in NSW can only be used at the club you join up to. It beggars belief the RSL does not have the same rules Australia wide.

We were at the Deniliquin RSL today for lunch and what a disappointment. My husband ordered the ribs, members price $34 and I ordered the Lamb Cutlets, members price $35. When ordering my husband requested the lamb cutlets to not be burnt. A good chef would not immerse crumbed cutlets into a deep fryer, but alas guess what, they were done to death nd burnt, and for $35 I received 3 cutlets that were terrible I managed to eat 1 as I was hungry. The description on the menu sounded good, served with mash potato and wilted spinach. The mash potato was of the frozen variety and terrible, the wilted spinach was long ago wilted and inedible as it was soooo salty. When the cutlets arrived at the table my husband said he was glad he requested them not burnt to which Charli replied "that's the way they come". Absolutely not good enough...when she put in the request to the kitchen they should have said they could not do. My husband's ribs were OK but normally they fall off the bone, these were dry and chewy. Suffice to say we will not be dining there again.

The kitchen closed at 2.00 pm and the cooks, I would not call them chefs, left. We were going to complain to Charli (mind you not her fault) when she cleared our dishes but she did not venture out of the kitchen until after we left the dining area as I am sure she knew we were not pleased.

There were four of us dining. I had Thai beef salad. It was tasty although a little too much dressing, salad got a bit soggy towards the bottom and the noodles were in a clump. The Nasi Goreng, had one little piece of chicken, no prawns. It was hot in the middle with the outside just warm. The side salad was a bit out of place. The other 2 meals were parmas, 1 with salad and chips the other vegies and chips. Person with salad was surprised they had one piece of tomato whilst the Nasi Goreng plate had a lot more. The vegies were just warm. Both enjoyed the chips. Overall not bad. Drinks seemed a bit more expensive. What spoiled the evening was the couple that didn't think they needed to line up like everyone else to order and the girl taking orders let them jump queue. Whilst we had joined the queue well before the other couple had got up and ordered, they had received entree, before our order was placed and mains when we sat down after ordering. Our meals did come out relatively quickly considering how busy it was. Probably wouldn't...

Beautiful rural RSL, they have a wonderful beer garden just outside of their sports bar consisting of a pool table, jukebox, lots of table and seating, tv's, outdoor air mist underneath the seating on those hot days and a large L shaped pond with beautiful fish to observe and that's JUST the sports bar area. The bistro is spacious and food is wonderful, there's a function room available, a huge array of machines in the gaming area including an outdoor smokers friendly gaming area, an area for bands/djs near a dance floor area, a cafe style section with coffee, cakes etc, an upstairs creche for the kids while the parents have some fun downstairs. You name it, Deni RSL has it. One of my favorite destinations when travelling through, there really is something for everyone and an area for all different groups. Do yourself a favour and check it out next time you find yourself in lovely Deniliquin. By far the best RSL...
