Nambucca Boatshed & Cafe — Restaurant in Nambucca Heads

Walked in at around 1.20pm and placed a reasonably large order, told it was a 30 minutes wait - not a problem. The person serving also mentioned we had only just made the cut off as the kitchen was closing at 1.30pm. Waited patiently for our drinks and food. Found it odd that after 25 minutes not even our drinks had come. Also noticed that almost the entire remaining chairs and tables were packed up and that staff were starting to hose things down. Went inside to ask if it would be easier if we got our order to take away so they could close up (as they clearly wanted to) only to be told our food and drinks weren’t being made AT ALL. Why on Earth would you let a table of four adults and a baby sit for 30 minutes waiting for a meal that was never coming?!?! To make it worse when all this came to light you didn’t even apologise, just stared at us like we were in the wrong. We even had to ASK for a refund. Safe to say we...

Great spot right on the Nambucca river. Had lunch here at The Boatshed cafe today 04/01/2023 ordered 2 of The Calamundi which was grilled Barramundi and crumbed calamari with salad.

We’ll the Barramundi was “Mullet” my wife said it’s mullet before I even said anything. We buy Mullet regularly and we know it’s distinctive flavour. It was definitely Mullet. The meal was nice and tasty just not what was ordered and paid for. I mentioned this to the head waitress and she said it’s Barramundi. I do come here every couple of months and looks like it may have new owners, if so they won’t last long if they think their customers are stupid. Just a heads up to everyone. I like mullet but it’s not what I...

My wife and I enjoy the cafe's food - tasty, adequately sized, sensible value and a reasonable selection. The atmosphere is relaxed and the location is super... you can be seated right beside the glisteningly beautiful Nambucca River! But I'm not finished... we go there regularly for the coffee! The brand served is Botero. That's a great start. But don't you like it when each time you visit, the coffee is consistently excellent? You actually get what you pay for every time - no hit and miss... and you can sip as you soak up the atmosphere of one of Australia's prettiest and most welcoming coastal towns. All of the baristas are excellent - especially Hannah! Thoroughly recommended for enjoyable food and especially, their consistently...
