Ordered a 400g Porterhouse cooked medium with garlic sauce for $28.
Porterhouse came out well overcooked, have had beef jerky not as chewy as this steak. Came with about 5 burnt chips that tasted like they were cooked at lunch and a garlic sauce that was just a thick gluggy mix of flour and water without even a hint of garlic.
Main meal 2/10 as I didnt even eat two mouthfuls of it.
Salad bar was ok although a smallish selection, the chicken and vegetable soup was tasty, 6/10
Dessert was the only highlight of the night, real good assortment consisting of stewed peaches and nectarines, fruit pudding, apple crumble and my old favourite creamed rice. Soft serve icecream machine a bonus 7.5/10
Other meals at our table were not flash either, the herbed flathead was dry and like cardboard,, the calamari was like rubber bands and appeared to be the frozen stuff from the supermarket. Both chicken snittys were that overcooked they were on the verge of being bricks. All varities of gravies/sauces were a thick gluggy mess.
Wont be going back soon
4/10 overall, the dessert prevented it being a 2/10

the "food and pokies" pubs in gawler (arms, southern, willaston) are a disgrace imo. I'm glad there are now some other really good places to eat because otherwise i wouldn't eat in gawler.

unfortunately my pop thinks the southern is amazing and ill be going there in a week for his birthday

In Wallaroo go to the Weeroona pub for lunch. Best and biggest pub meals I've seen for ages.

is that on the woodland side or the other side of the main street? Both of those 2 pubs look so run down and dirty there's no way I would eat from one of them.

So you must have a issue with the new marina hotel? I wouldn't even let my dog eat at the other hotels they are that dirty. I actually thought they had closed down by the look of them, but no there still there, but obviously struggling for business.
