Yeah soft drinks always taste better in a can than bottle

Coke from a glass bottle disproves your theory.

Nup, never trust beer in a clear bottle.

Only fancy beers come in clear bottles, real beers come in the dark stubbies*

Spalding Hotels Pizza's absolutely next level. I will make a case they are the best pizzas ive had anywhere in the world.

Unfortunately only do them on a Sunday but imo definitely worth the 2 hour drive from Adelaide if your looking for a day out, stops at Auburn, Clare, Burra would turn it into a really nice day.

Lulu's @ Prospect would take some beating mate.

Haven't eaten there before but if it means we have to a pizza / beer session with products from both places to decide a winner im sure I can live with that.

8yo and myself are heading to Wallaroo tomorrow for the weekend

Any suggestions on a good place for lunch tomorrow, preferably waterfront.

Not necessarily in Wallaroo can be anywhere

Ended up at the Alehouse

I got the $15 S&P squid lunch special and young fella had the kids cheeseburger

S&P squid was typical pub fare, kids cheeseburger was massive I don't think I would have been able to finish it

I know i've put it on here before... But i go to Jimmy Deanes at south adelaide almost on a weekly basis. My girls love it... Food isn't too bad but the real bonus is the staff. They all are magnificent... I usually get the same table every time so i can have a few pints and watch the girls play on the playground.

Would recommend it for families

Might have to try it again, we had banned them after being served borderline frozen chips.

as i said the food is good... but not great. I haven't had any issues with any of my meals except the sometime forget not to put sauce on my daughters burger...

I have to say it was pretty cool watching south train last night with my youngest while she was asking questions about what they are doing...

Lone Star Rib House, Port Adelaide Plaza

Like most American themed rib joints there's lots of horns and chequered decor around the place giving it the full Yanky Doodle Dandy vibe.

Seated in a booth for 4 ( there was 4 of us ) and being a larger mammal I'm immediately uncomfortable as the table and my thickness don't agree with each other. My fault for drinking too much and exercising too little.

Ruby, who is clearly on her first shift is completely overwhelmed by our first drinks order "Two One Fifty Lashes" I say, taking care of myself and my mate "Is that red or white?" she says. Oh dear.

The wife and Mrs Mate order a bottle of rose, or, as Ruby says "Rose" = flower. "Do you want two glasses?" "No" I say "just one and a straw please". Ruby writes down...."Kidding, two glasses"

We look over the menu and I decide upon the steak and rib combo, Ruby tells me the steak is 250gm and there's 600gms of ribs. Hmm. Seems a lot.

Out it comes and yes, it would have been 250gm of steak cooked perfectly medium well with some really good chips and what I suspect was Coles coleslaw. The ribs, pork with bbq sauce, well, it wasn't 600gm. I'd say a full rack would be 600gm, I had 3 ribs with little meat on them. What was there was good however.

In short, $40 for the steak and ribs, $9 for the James Squires and the 4 of us end up with a bill of $280. I'm not going to say it wasn't good, it was pretty good, I'm not going to say it was too expensive because steak, ribs and a few beers for $70 ( thereabouts ) isn't bad but I wouldn't say it was value for money.

Food 8/10
Service 5/10
Value for money 4/10

What time were you there Booney? We went that Saturday with some friends and kids. Sat by the exit door which blew us away every time someone opened it (not because it's a special door, but it was windy). We were there 5:30-7. Got the Rib Eye Steak with Bernaise and avocado topping. Was a good steak, cooked perfectly. Washed down with a couple pints of Coors. On the pricey side but was a good feed.

Did you need to go to the dunny at any stage?

No I didn't. Sounds like the Ribs had some special sauce on them.....

Ha! No, they were fine. But there's no toilet in the restaurant. As it was after hours for the shopping centre you have to get a staff member to take you around to the western side of the shopping centre and use a swipe card to let you in.

Then you go either up two flights / one level of stairs or in the lift to the first floor.

Then you walk south, about 40-50m past some empty office space to the toilets.

Had some chili prawns from The House of the Red Dragon the other night, $18 and had at least a dozen decent sized prawns in there mixed with crisp vegies, thoroughly recommended, wasn't real spicy though.

Followed it up by trying the same thing @ The Red Chilli Asian Restaurant at the Beff last night. Same deal, $18, less prawns and they still had the tail on them but the sauce was the best chilli sauce I've ever tasted. I flipped my bowl of rice into the sauce and mixed it together with the vegies then put my prawns in the rice bowl................sensational.

Well that's a big oversight from the center. We regularly eat a Sushi Hiro on the other side (our kids go to day care on the end at Paisley Park), and the toilet is close there. Maybe once more opens up it will get easier. It's looking fantastic though, great for the area.

More so on the council/liquor licensing.....how can a venue be approved with out toilets!
