You're wondering, right now , where you should eat ? What should I treat myself to tonight ; you've already found it, Milky Lane.
Sure you could waste your time endlessly scrolling, the apps, that show you the same 5 restaurants on repeat, thinking oh maybe I'll get some Ramen 😑, or possibly I could get a sushi meal -- eww brother , eww, what's that brother.
If I told you a place exists where you could order a cola , but let the staff know , id very much prefer one of your creative thick shakes - free of charge - you'd call my a liar ! I'm many things, but a liar, I am not. I paid for a coke and got one of the tastest- thick shakes of my life. My request for a free Thick shake was nothing but humour, a passing joke between 2 gangsters - but from one gangster to another, the magic arrived. Real recognises real.
If I said , you could politely ask a member of staff
" hey could I please try some of your chicken wings , never had them before . You'd except the next question to be:
" Cash or card ! " from someone with an expression so sour it looks like there chewing on a wasp. Not at Milky Lane !!!
They hand you a box , filled with mouth watering chicken that tastes like angels prepared it & say sir , you keep your money , the chicken is on us - you think me a liar, don't you ! But we've been over this , I'm an honest man.
Maybe you want an extra Pattie in your burger , you're thinking - that would be tasty - but how much ? Nothing! Yeh sure the menu has the listed price , but good manners also open doors many never walk through. My extra Pattie, It was free, no charge. Here's your double burger , sir , enjoy.
There is no better service. Than Milky Lane , travel Australia, travel the globe , wait till we get to Mars , anywhere !!! Eat elsewhere at your own dismay, then try and avoid your families gaze as your poor children eat cold fish & chips , asking " why Father, why have you done this to us, we saw the shining lights and sweet smells of Milky Lane & instead we eat this meal of sadness and heartburn "
You owe it to yourself, your family, the ones that where here long before - to eat from Milky Lane.
You must order from Milky Lane - or loose the respect of everyone that cares for you.
Be polite, be kind , treat the staff with respect and you will be met with love
Cross them and what I can tell you is I don't have the burger cooking skills these people at Milky Lane have --- But, what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

Read moreWe went last night for my birthday dinner (group of 8) the food was great - disappointed they were out of several of the items on the entree menu, you have to be understanding that there are issues with the flooding ect over east so we don't hold that against anyone.
I have a couple of complaints - the music was wayyy too loud we were shouting at each other the whole time, just made it an unpleasant experience. One of the children in our group has ADHD he couldn't even eat his dinner as he was so overwhelmed with the noise, disappointing when you book for 6.30pm you would hope it's more family friendly - it's not suitable for anyone who is neurodivergent.
Second compliant is we were charged an alcoholic beverage - originally 2 were ordered but they were out of dry ginger ale so we accepted one of the drinks with ginger beer and said no for the second drink... the additional drink should have been wiped from our bill immediately.
At the end of the night I just decided to pay the entire bill and get my friends to transfer to me... I wasn't read back my bill just told the amount. It was so busy with 10 people trying to check in - you need to find a more streamlined arrival and paying situation cause it just doesn't work when you are so busy. When your bill is $350 the person on checkout should at least give the customer a copy of the bill and ask them to check before paying... I now have to wait and see if someone will answer my email sent last night about getting the $13 back we were overcharged (cause no one actually answers on the phone number you provide)
Updating my review as its been a month and I have been told by 2 managers that I will get my money refunded and low and behold.... Nothing and now I'm being ghosted. How many people have been ripped...
Read moreWent here for a big family dinner. My partner and I ordered the "smalls sides platter" which included loaded fries, mac and cheese croquets and pop corn chicken. It was supposed to come with vegan mash balls as well, however they were out of those on the night and so were offering extra of the other sides. We also ordered the "Kevin bacon" burger to share between us. The food was good, but the portions are huge, which can be a good thing if that's what you're after ! The burger was great, however absolutely massive! My partner and I shared the burger and almost finished our halves each but just couldn't, and we probably ate about 1/3 of the loaded fries and almost all the popcorn chicken and croquettes. I would say this amount of food we ordered would serve 3 people comfortably. The value for money is good though, the shared platter was $35 and the burger was $20, but like I said it's a massive burger.
The cocktails are really good here I didn't get any pictures but we had the lychee and passionfruit mojito and the sour apple warhead in the share jugs. The share jugs got about 6-7 drinks out of them so they're good value too at $65 a jug.
The staff were super friendly and helpful with the cocktails however could possibly have let us know about the huge portions (haha) as we probably would have ordered a bit less food.
We also had a young family member who the staff said they could make any of the cocktails into mocktails which was really nice and made her feel included.
They also had a high chair available for my niece which was great as it allowed her mum to be hands free.
We went really late in the evening and midweek and it was quiet which was nice but I imagine it could get busy...
