Jersey Girls Cafe — Restaurant in Queensland

Stanthorpe Cheese and Jersey Girls Cafe was a discovery off some maps and searches.

The menu sounded great. I particularly appreciated that I could get a Ploughman’s lunch for one. Overall the platter was very good in terms of the variety of vegetables and relishes, in addition to fruit. However, it was disappointing that wafer thin processed supermarket ham was used along with highly processed sausage meat. It would be great to see these two products replaced with some quality smoked ham and salami. This would really enhance the experience.

It was also positive to see one of the team acknowledge that they didn’t know the answer to a question about a particular type of cheese curd and seek assistance.

Upon arrival there was dog poo in the carpark… this should have been my clue to go elsewhere… a sign said they are not responsible for flies as it is ”outdoors”… another sign said keep your pets off the sofa as dog hair may cause allergies. Seriously? Why are dogs allowed in the dining area in the first instance?

$7 for my ONE scone which when I asked if it was freshly baked they admitted it was frozen and reheated., I will not be back. Gotta do better than this.

I did buy some cheeses but have not...

Food was amazing (cheese plater for 2) but service unfortunately was poor took them 25 mins to make a plater and all you could see was them eating the whole time and they werent busy and when the plater finally came out the bread wasnt even ready due to them being to busy eating so still had to wait for it and just before we finished the plater the young man in the kitchen swore and the whole restaurant heard it even my kids. The first time we visited a year ago was perfect no faults but...
