My Three Beans Cafe formerly Fighter Beans Cafe — Restaurant in New South Wales

Mum and I were looking for breakfast and it was only thanks to Google Maps that we found out about this cafe; there was no signage on the road we approached on, and we even had to ask a staff member of the adjacent museum where the cafe was when we did arrive.

We were advised there would be a thirty minute wait on the food (it’s always appreciated to be forewarned), but our meal arrived much sooner.

I had the big breakfast (I forget the cafe’s local name for it) and it was huge! Seemed like half a packet of bacon. I’m a big fellow and even I was struggling a little to finish.

Now, by her own admission, in her dotage?l, my mother has become, shall we say, finicky about her food. She is not shy about requesting alterations to her meal if she is not satisfied. (Note: She has many years of frontline food service experience so has been on both ends.) She said it was possibly the nicest toastie she had ever had and was THE nicest iced chocolate she had ever tasted. She was slurping on the dregs for an hour after we’d left.

Praise...

We’ve been stopping at the cafe at Fighterworld for over ten years each time we are in the area and will often detour via Williamtown when heading past on the Pacific Highway to see if the jets are flying and grab a meal.

We loved the previous owners and miss their basic menu a lot. We also miss how quick they had food out to us when ordering.

The new owners are super friendly and the food is delicious but the two times we have visited the wait has been over 30 minutes and today we were told after 20 minutes they were out of chips then the meals arrived minus any gravy per the menu. Today was quite busy following an extra long weekend but our first visit was not but was shortly after they’d opened.

As mentioned above, the staff were really friendly and the food was very nice.

Not sure if we’ll visit again...

Great little cafe to have lunch after looking at the exhibits or even for a quick lunch stop if you are driving by. It's an old school cafe with a simple menu but with quite a few choices of sandwiches. We had the chicken schnitzel , chip and gravy, schnitzel sandwich and a beef pattie sandwich with salsa and sour cream. The chicken schnitzel was made fresh and who doesn't love chips and homemade gravy. Total comfort food! The sandwiches came with thick cut bread. Service was friendly and down to earth. The kids even got a free zooper dooper ice block. Prices are also reasonable. We will definitely stop here for lunch again on our...
