Another great old pub in central Maryborough - serving very good food in a relaxed and spacious area We met family for a get-together over lunch, and really enjoyed our visit Our meals arrived promptly, which is a testament to our lovely waitress Kylie, who ran the whole bistro by herself 🏆 The kitchen staff did a fantastic job, as did the sole bar tender who looked after three bars and the gaming area We found there’s plenty of off street parking and some on street parking right out front. Access to the car park, the bistro, bars and rest rooms is easily managed without stairs 👍 For parents of young children, there’s an outdoor playground and an indoor play room right off the bistro Although the marvellous staff managed the number of patrons, we couldn’t help feel for them and could see the bistro and bars working more efficiently with an extra person assisting. This would be my only suggestion for improvement, more staff

The one star is for the young girl serving at bistro as she was lovely. We got lamb shanks with veg, schnitzel with mash potato and gravy, bruschetta. Waited 40 minutes and they brought out the starter and ONE of our mains. I asked why my main was with the starter, we only ordered the bruschetta as a starter. Lady (not the girl at the counter) just said "ok" and was very disinterested, then offered to take the main and sit it under the heat light. I declined I didn't want dry chicken. Second main came 6 minutes later. Bruschetta: served on some barely cooked garlic ciabatta bread. Was a mix of gluggy doughy bread and crunchy onion with soft tomato. Lamb shanks: cooked so they were tender let down by lack of any flavour. Vegetables felt like they'd been boiling since lunch. Schnitzel: huge. Thin. Overcooked. Cut my gum on some of the overcooked crumb. No flavour. The potato was packed mix and absolutely awful on both meals and, gravy was bland and not great. I left almost all my meal as it was just unpleasant. My partner who eats anything and never complains, is still complaining about the potato. We went based on recommendations, Google reviews and how busy they were and left barely having touched our meals because they were terrible. We also didn't bother addressing it with staff after how rude the lady bringing our food was. Really unfortunate this is the experience we had given the reviews.

Hard to fault the service as there were not very many patrons dining during our visit and throughout the time we were there the staff were friendly and helpful. Again hard to fault service as the meals came out within a very reasonable amount of time. The 400g steaks we ordered were cooked perfectly, however the plate size was enormous and there was an abundance amount of chips and salad on the plate as well as a large portion of gravy. I do feel that if they looked at the portion sizes and made them a little smaller they could bring the price down a little and make them more affordable . There was also plenty of parking, good access to restaurant with modern decor .Overall it was enjoyable we had a nice time and would definitely dine there again. Especially with smaller portions better prices thanks 😊
