Sunset Tavern — Restaurant in Karumba

Raw food and disgusting tables Me and my family came to sunset tavern with high hopes, we expected decent food, not 5 star of course, but a pub feed. We first ordered some entrees which were very basic (as expected) could of used more salt on just about everything. After a bit we ordered our main meals at about 7pm, after an hour at 8pm we received our food only to be let down by two burnt chicken burgers and a fish that looked like a piece of drift wood. As we were eating my pregnant step mother bit into her crumbed king salmon, as she did she found that it was completely raw and wretched. We went to the staff who were very kind about it and gave us a refund for the fish, we were still very disappointed in the chicken burgers as they seemed to be burnt, right up until my brother cut his half eaten chicken burger in between and found it to be completely pink, pretty much still feathered and jumping around. We showed the staff and they were extremely disappointed with their cooking. The only excuse we were given is that they had one less chef than the day before, no excuse to turn the fryers up and push raw food out. I have worked in a fish and chip shop and we still had more standards than this chef. NEED A NEW CHEF AND YOU...

Fantastic location, drinks nice n cold however this is where it ends for us. Waited quite a while for our food, hubby ordered the Mackerel Turkish bread burger with chips, some chips on the plate looked as if someone had snapped them in half and the fish was ordinary and unfortunately overcooked as well as on the small side. Bucket of prawns with garlic bread was extremely disappointing considering the prawns were local, they had absolutely zero taste and tasted very watered down, they had no fresh sea taste I had to add salt to them to get flavour along with the tiny sliver of lemon which was not even worth having on the plate, they did come with seafood sauce however it was awful. There was only 11 prawns in the bucket with half the bucket filled with icecubes. At $36 that equates to $3.27 per prawn ludicrous! I did address the prawn situation with one of your staff and she said she would let management know so hopefully she did. Nb I did take the remainder of the prawns with me in a takeaway box to mix with my dogs dinner tonight as I didn't want to waste food not...

Ok, so the sunset was amazing and never fails to happen. The food on the other hand was very disappointing. I had the seafood platter. That was just thrown on a plate. I doubt anything was "local". More like frozen McCains. The Masterfoods squeeze pack of tartare sauce said it all. Karumba is a mecca for seafood and this was very disappointing. Everything was over deep fried. The chips were cold and terrible. To top it all off I VOMITED IT ALL BACK UP 2 hours later. Classic food poisoning. My partner had the king Salmon which I ate most of and it wasn't Salmon and tasted "funky". Maybe that was it? As a small business owner, I understand how difficult it is to get staff but, Seriously, if you can't open up without making people VOMIT, please remain closed or just sell drinks. Nobody attended our table to clean up so I think this is why the bar ran out of wine glasses...........at a Sunset Bar!!!! I was served a Savvy B in a POT. Terrible for such a busy place. Maybe that's why the locals go to...
