Leopold Sportsmans Club — Restaurant in Leopold

EDIT:June 2024. I was less than impressed on this occasion. The food was of moderate quality yet they charged restaurant prices. The drinks were expensive (a lot of ice and not much actual drink) and the glass size was small. For a club for the sportsman (whatever that means) it was a very disappointing experience.

The Leopold Sportsman Club is exactly what you would expect. If you are not a member you have to sign in. As with many clubs these days it simply a matter of inserting your driver's license into a slot and they spit our a printed out with your name and life history. Well perhaps not your life history but I'm pretty sure they have enough information to do what they have to do should the need arise.

Again the rest of the process is as you would expect, menu, go to the counter to order, staff are friendly and the food is pretty reasonable as well as the prices. They are not as cheap as club meals used to be but what is these days.

If you're interested you can watch one of the many TVs circumnavigating the dining room or watch the game of bowls outside.

The service is quick-ish and they will even accommodate individual requests like one meal two plates kind of thing.

There is plenty of parking so overall having a meal at the Leopold Sportsmans' (can't believe someone hasn't complained) Club is an efficient, easy and enjoyable way to have lunch (or dinner I guess)

Oh yes and if you are that way inclined you can also go and donate some money at the pokies in the adjoining room.

Overall however a...

Will start out on a positive. The food was good, and brought quickly. Wait staff were pleasant. But our visit left a really sour taste in our mouths. We booked a table for my adult son’s birthday. He chose the venue, and wanted the table to be in the sports bar. When I called to make the booking I was told that would be fine. I was a little late arriving, so when I got there the birthday boy and rest of the family were already there. And in the main dining room. I must have looked a bit confused because a lady came up to ask if there was a problem. When I queried the lady said it was her that took my booking, so she knew I had wanted the table out back. So the reason we didn’t get our requested table - despite confirmation that it would be fine - was “there were already people sitting there so I didn’t want to ask them to get up.” Well in her efforts to not upset them, she has certainly upset people who had had the foresight to book ahead. I’m ok with things not being perfect, but I did feel that showed lack of regard and respect for customers. Either put the reserved sign on the table earlier, or give the people sitting there that the table is booked for 7pm. Just don’t make promises you don’t intend to keep. We still enjoyed our birthday celebrations, but no thanks...

Extremely disappointed with our function. We chose Sporties from previous experiences always happy with service and food. However our function was completely the opposite. Booking the function room back in February and to be told a week out that we were doubled booked so we ended up in lounge area instead. I paid per person and to have only 4 platters come out I was quite surprised at the lack of food. When I questioned the amount of food they claimed functions weren’t run per head anymore but per platter, I spoke with manger week before to finalize menu and it was clearly stated on my run sheet it was per head. Went in on Monday to ask what went wrong but no answer was given just the same conversation about functions not being run per head and no apology. So I emailed and finally was able to talk to manger four days later and he claims our food was sent out to wrong function!! I was given an apology and a bit of a refund. Our night was full of stress not enjoyable. Definitely won’t be having an more functions at Sporties. It’s a shame as I am a...
