38forty — Restaurant in Victoria

This used to be a favoured place, but wow, I am so disgusted and disappointed by my recent "lamb and gravy roll" It was mostly burned bbq'd onions, a scattering of burned, dry shavings of what might have once been lamb, perhaps wood, you wouldn't really know. One drop of gravy. These used to be full of succulent roast meat, dripping with gravy, this was just disgusting, the choices are less than they used to have, nothing truly special to warrant a special trip to the store. I didn't have time to come back. There was so much salt on the rubbery bread. Thanks 38forty, you've lost me as a customer and half my office too.

Brought the breaky rolls, egg and bacon muffin, potato cakes and hot chocolate today. The food was quite dry and especially the muffin it was rock hard, I ate half and then gave it too the dog it was too hard to eat. I think the food needs to be thrown out if it’s sitting there too long.

It also took an awkward amount of time for someone to acknowledge the fact I even walked in. I could see your busy but even a nod of the head would do.

I just felt the atmosphere was loud and overstimulating, and if you don’t like that then this place isn’t for you.

The hot chocolate was ok, tasted kinda watery but nice and hot.

I mean this as genuine feedback, I did not feel welcome here and would...
