Gillen club — Restaurant in Northern Territory

Im a fly in and out worker so for convenience we go for tea a couple times a week, been doing this for couple years. Have been to the gillen club lots of times and truth is the meals are ok (pub type meals). But customer service is terrible. The staff are rude and need to be taught how to respect customers. I know finding staff in Alice Springs isn't easy. But I'd rather run a business with limited staff than with rude staff. After reading the comments on this you would think management would do something about it! Time for us to find a new local. Bad form gillen club. Not sure how I reply to you so ill let you know here. I'm not sure who the person in charge was but I've had way too many meals there to count but the service is generally average. But food is cheapish and ok. It's certainly not the first night that we have had bad service. Sat back last night while eating our tea and decided it would be our last meal at gillen . Shame cause we always go to Sunday roasts.

It had taken too long for the security guard to remove her, seems he was Inexperienced. The Gillen club has turned into another animal bar where Aboriginals just drink all day and play pokies. When I left there was about 10 Abos loitering around the car park. Wake up to yourself Gillen club and have some respect, or is it just about the profits. This was a place where families could go and enjoy themselves. Now you have let the animals in and they're...

First time eating here with my family that I was visiting with...have to say very underwhelmed...I ordered the veggie burger...pre frozen not made in house...the other meals were not that great either...My kids wanted to share a nice dinner experience with me while I visited...sadly lacking in presentation and flavor...being the week of the Finke Race I would have thought better output of food would be a priority when having many people coming and experiencing Alice Springs...thankfully we have better dining experiences in smaller owned venues...where the food was creative...presented well...and tasted amazing...sorry won't be back...will support the smaller...
