Greg and Audreys — Restaurant in Newcastle-Maitland

Had a fantastic time at Greg and Audrey’s. Unfortunately, that was the case 5 years ago, and due to a change of management, the quality of food, service and atmosphere has plummeted so far down that they’re likely going to be the next victims of a submersible implosion.

I hoped to treat my friends with a lovely experience by visiting this place, however our experience was the diametric opposite.

The wings were soaked in oil - as if they were merely standing next to the deep fryer as opposed to being actually in it. Buffalo wings did not have the signature Frank’s red hot taste, and did not come with a serve of carrots, celery and ranch.

The Philly cheesesteak was an amorphous mass of bland barely cooked beef and gloopy cheese. Worse, slimy onions and capsicum.

The hotdog, the simplest of foods, was also somehow mishandled. That said, if your idea of a hotdog is a store bought kransky sausage with a skin so tough it couldn’t be chewed through, then this is the place for you.

The service, such as it is, is on par with the food. A 20 minute wait for the above food and forgotten drinks order was cherry on top of the cake (something I wish I rather had).

I am giving an extra 1 star because we derived a lot of entertainment from the various misspellings and grammatical errors in the menu.

I sincerely implore the business owners to reassess their approach, as there is a lot of potential in this establishment (evidenced by the significant goodwill it accrued under previous management).

Edit: there was a child in a pram between the fryer and...

We usually luv G&As, go every 4-6wks. Usually can't fault it. Very disappointing visit recently though. Sunday a.noon. Owner apparently had left for the day. About 4-6 teens behind the counter ..food was terrible. Milkshake was literally warm,watery n no flavour, the iced chocolate not much better, the chips cold, 1 order was completely forgotten even though we had discussed with them while ordering the 2nd meal whether it came with chips etc..n worst of all..other than the terrible milkshake, the chicken pieces were undercooked. Pink inside n chewy from not being cooked long enough. None of this reflects how good it usually is there. Suggest maybe who they leave in charge when not there n what goes on is reviewed 🙁

Footnote update...we all went there Sunday ngt at 6.30-40pm for something to eat n ice creams. Website states close is 7.30pm. Got there n the door was closed but sign n chairs were still outside. Son knocked n eventually a kid sauntered out n said they were shut. When asked y..bc there were no customers for a while. Seriously??! I bet all mall shops n offices wish they had that luxury. Or maybe they just think it's right to do the right thing by customers n stick to times advertised. This is a couple of incidents now. We ll probably not bother any more n go to Lulus or Warners Bay from now...

I don't normally leave reviews but this was such a blow I felt I had to. This place has lost its soul. I used to love bringing my partner here for dates but after my recent visit, it feels devoid of anything that made it special. When I went in, there was no music playing and it was just stagnant air. The staff all looked like they didn't want to be there and spoke so quietly I could barely hear them. I think they're under new management as the old staff were always having fun with the job and the place was full of life, I have no idea who these guys are. Then I got my food.

The burger was saturated with bbq sauce to the point that I didn't even know it had coleslaw on it until the last few bites. I ordered a Philly cheese steak roll and there was almost no capsicum or onion and I didn't even get steak on it, it was corned beef. The Milo thickshake was bland and the wings were warm at best and a bit dry like they were thrown in a microwave.

Everything I loved about this place is gone and my favourite part of the meal was my can of Pepsi. It has made me so sad to see a place as good as Greg and Audrey's fall this low. It genuinely ruined my day as this was a place that was special for me and my partner to go on dates to, driving 40 minutes each way to get there. I won't be...
