Raiders Belconnen — Restaurant in District of Belconnen

Food was served almost cold. My partners pasta tasted like it was made from a microwave packet you get from Coles, only it was $19 not $5. The double burger they have plastered everywhere is an absolute let down. They overwhelm it with onion and garlic flavour to hide the fact the burger has no actual flavour. And did i mention this serving of disappointment was delivered cold? A plate next to us was your club staple, a schnitty with mushroom sauce, except instead of being a classic he'd never forget, the chicken was pink most the way through. He might never forget it now, but not in the way the club hoped. My burger left me in agony through the entirety of my sitting there, and as I write this the morning after, my stomach still tries to come to grips with what ive done to it, why I betrayed it. If you have a particularly comfortable toilet you like to sit I could recommend this burger. The chips on the side were flavourless and unsalted.

All through the club is propaganda that Andrew Barr and his team of nasties are going to come in the night and close down the club in favour of a bigger casino. Well in this case, I think he has the right idea. I'm reminded not every business has a right to exist, and that in Canberra the amount of places I can get a great burger for $22 are a dime a dozen. If Barr came in the night to close it down for good, it would be a mercy killing and for the...

Typical sports club nothing really special over others. Decent, better than avg club food at decent price. Definitely a good choice if looking for a good cheap decent club meal.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Always seems clean and tidy.

Only real disappointment is Wed night meat raffle. It's is pretty ordinary. Only been to it twice but both times the trays were just steak. 1st time all the trays were the same and had minute steak. We won one and I weighed the steak and it was just over 1kg. 1kg of minute steak is pretty rubbish for a club meat raffle in my opinion. The next time it was rump steak but my guess is still only around 1 to 1.5kg. I thought clubs ran meat raffles at cost or just above mainly to get people in on quiet nights to spend more on food, drinks and pokies. But doing some quick math, both times from the highest ticket number called they made over $2k in ticket sales. Had 20 meat trays with $30 to $40 of meat max. They are clearly making a decent profit. Not to say clubs can't make $$ but compared to the other club I go to, I won a meat tray there a week before that had Sausages, Steak, Chops, Chicken Kiev's ect. At least $100 worth. Think i'll avoid Raiders and stick to the other club for the...

Taking my 88 year old Mum to lunch today for her birthday at this club as I was signing her in the young receptionist said that Mum was not aloud to enter the gaming area because she did not have an acceptable ID, When I quizzed her a bit more she said "hang on I'll get the manager he might wan't to use some discretion He came and told me that Mum was quite welcome to use the club but would not be aloud in the gaming area as she did not one of three proof of age cards being 1. a drivers licence (Mum has never held a licence as dad did all the driving), 2. a proof of age card ( Mum was about 65 when these come in) 3.a passport (Mum has never been out of the country so never had one of these) so we rifled through all the stuff she did have and found 1. A taxi subsidy photo ID card issued by the ACT Government 2. A Australian Seniors card also issued by the ACT government he than put down a sign in front of me and said these are the only forms of ID that I can accept if I find your her in the gaming lounge she will be ejected from the club. So no poke for this little old lady on her birthday "well...
