The Ugly Cook — Restaurant in Sydney

Got a Rude text from the boss! We didn't devour the meals at all! And I was never rude, I advised him like a friend. The waitress didn't cry at all. She offered a replacement meal for my friend who got the charcoal bread!!! But we declined. We also had a Portuguese tart each, served on a huge plate still in its alfoil. Very unnatractive.

Both the haloumi dish with steak tacos were pathetic. The haloumi dish served on charcoal bread with a pile of rocket lettuce only soaked with oil. The menu said sourdough bread! Rocket lettuce should be mixed with mild lettuce.

The steak tacos only 2 small had minimum slices of meat, minimum salad with hot chillies. I did say to waitress hold the wasabi mayonnaise, instead added chillies! The cook was offended but the owner was very rude. We wanted to pay, but he said he didn't want our money. Music was loud and flies in and out...

The Ugly Cook is a great spot along the main road, that's incredibly popular with locals, and good enough to draw people from further afield.

The food here is fantastic. The hangover burger in particular is both delicious and great value for money. I couldn't finish it and hated leaving any because it was that good!

The coffee was delicious, and had a lovely flavour throughout. It's a shame there was no latte art, else this would have been absolutely perfect.

Staff were friendly. There were only limited highchairs available, so we once had to go elsewhere as we couldn't get by without one. There is plenty of street parking available right outside and in the local area. Price wise everything was reasonable, inkeeping with the local...

*COULD'VE GONE SO WRONG or COULD'VE GONE PERFECT!!! Here's the thing. I was beyond gratified by the tenderly Pulled Lamb burger, the creamy coffee and perfectly crisped chips. (Highly recommend!) I was so happy that I ordered a Snickers Slice and another coffee to go.

I'm in my car (still am) about to throw a 5 star rating until I realized I was trying to crunch down on a rock that was in the Snickers slice (see photo)... I thought it was just a tough peanut, I almost chipped a tooth on it or could've swollowed it. This was very disappointing... (well, I still ate the rest of the slice, tasted good)

If it wasn't for the quality food, staff and service. This experience would have been a 1🌟 review. Still...
