Caringbah Hotel — Restaurant in Sydney

The food in Sydney is continuously improving as a whole, and even more so in suburbia. We have had the fortune of visiting a few new welcome dining additions in the Sutherland Shire or the 'Shire' as it is referred to by most of Sydney. On this occasion we visited Graziers Grill House, which is situated inside the Caringbah Hotel. The Grill house specialises in quality steak and American style BBQ which is very on trend at the moment. The BBQ scene in Australia is blowing up at the moment. This upgrade to the old bistro is bringing a new demographic to the hotel. Young families, the after work crew and couples having dinner too.

This joint also has cool cocktail list some of our all time favourites, espresso Martini’s, ginger and lychee martini’s and Aperol Spritz too, the choice was tough. A Golden Gaytime Apple Crumble cocktail was the top pick of the night. This cocktail features a Golden Gaytime crumb, impossible to go past this option.

They also have cocktail jugs for $30 as well as a selection of Beer, cider, wines and many more options. Graziers grill house is the perfect place to enjoy a drink, remember it is situated inside a pub.

The menu is a list of street food (entrees), faves, clean & green, and from the grill. The street food has a range of starters that all sounded super tasty; red curry chicken ribs, chargrilled flatbread with chimichuri and pick de Gallo salsa, saganaki, chilli salt squid, charred corn, slow cooked pork ribs.

It was a Friday night and we were super hungry! We decided to share the feasting board which had a range of the above starters including the glazed pork ribs, calamari, sticky lamb ribs, charred corn, the best onion rings we’ve ever eaten and our favourite bite of the evening the chicken ribs, flavoured with red curry, kaffir like, and spring onions - these are a MUST order. This platter is huge and was tough for two people and amazing value at $40.

You cannot go to a grill house without ordering something from the grill. They pride themselves in selling only 100% Australian beef. Select from a variety of cuts, we chose the medallion 200g, beautifully cooked and served with seasoned fries and garden salad. We were well and truly cooked in the fullness department by this stage.

If you’d prefer a different main, there’s a few fish options; barramundi, salmon and flathead or the ever popular Parma. Throw in a cheeseburger and a steak sandwich and it makes for the perfect menu. The restaurant also has gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available. Take the whole family, there is plenty of choice for the kids too.

Sadly we were too full for dessert, but there are so many we would have ordered if we could. Creme Brûlée, choc fudge brownies, pavlova, apple Pie or the JAM DONUT ICE CREAM SANDWICH!!

If you find yourself in the Shire and in the mood for some BBQ or a drink visit the...

I was there last night. I drove there after being at the Cronulla Theatre to meet friends who had been there watching the World Cup. I suddenly was escorted out by a big bouncer, telling me urgently I had to leave. Had something happened? Had I been witness to something I wasn't aware of? I was worried and shocked.

When I was then told I'd had too much to drink and they 'could no longer have me in the establishment.' I had had one small wine, at their venue about half an hour prior. My only drink all day.

Moments earlier my friend and I were saying how all our friends go to Cronulla venues and we should get them to come here etc. Honestly I now understand why such a big venue is empty on a Saturday night.

I am still a bit shaken and upset. If you don't want people to drink (a drink) don't sell alcohol, then treat them like they have done something wrong.

I think RSA is necessary to protect all of us but: I was not approached in a customer friendly or respectful manner I was escorted very publicly and loudly in front of the pub and my friends by a very intimidating bouncer I was not given any reason why I was being removed, or what behaviour possibly could have led to this, besides we believe you've been drinking elsewhere - which was absoloutely not true.

I felt discriminated against. Instead of now encouraging friends to visit Caringbah I will be going to Cronulla. Where I have never ever been treated so poorly, in fact I have never experienced this treatment in any venue ever. I'm sure Liam was trying to do his job, but in this instance he...

Constructive criticism........overall disappointing. Booked table for 8 on 03/09/22 (APPROX1PM) in my name (Bruce) for 1815. Booking confirmed by email. Then I received a text confirming booking. Whilst I was at a nearby concert (mobile turned off) I received another text at 4.15pm requesting me to confirm my booking. TOTAL OVERKILL!!! My group arrived at 1815.......table only set for 6; I had 9.........(table no. 10). No one was available for service; I moved another table to join our table. It was very dirty. I had to lean over the bistro counter to fetch a cloth cleaner. When I ordered a chicken schnitzel without dressing on the salad it came out with dressing. I told the guy; he said he was only the delivery guy and the kitchen was busy??? I also ordered 2 x rump steaks at the same time as in '3' above, with mushroom sauce, which was an additional charge?? BUT when delivered only one had a very tiny serving of sauce. Same delivery guy; same comment as he had earlier. I could well have asked to speak to someone in authority but bit my tongue for peace. The 9 of us spent a lot of money for drinks/meals but overall service was poor. Businesses complain about poor patronages but any wonder with our experience at Caringbah Hotel!!!!!!! So you sent me an email for feedback on our experience...WELL...YOU GOT...
