SA Footy

I don't usually order a schnitty but everyone else was and I really just wanted to eat so there was no point in getting my customary steak.

All 6 of us were served within 10 minutes, all at the same time and the chicken schnitty with pepper sauce was high quality, I'm not a chip person but their chips got cleaned up in no time aswell, it helped that they weren't scabby with the gravy.

To top it off, lucky I have two eyes as they had the Bathurst race going on one big screen and the footy on the other one, both directly ahead from where I was sitting.

Most of the group stayed up there last night, I had the miserable drive home cursing myself.

From the sound of things probably should be thankful you survived the weekend bud

Recommend their local pie (albeit you'll need a nap afterwards)

This place just doesn't disappoint, tried the marinara and their granchio & gambero dishes with gnocchi and penne respectively, both were top notch, the G&G sauce though was a better flavour and would go the spaghetti or ravioli with it instead next run. I usually go the meatballs but dared to be different this time.

The servings are massive, the two dishes, a Corona and a Pepperjacks Shiraz came to a tad under $64, and BTW, they actually fill the glass up with their wines, none of this to the line bullshit.

I thoroughly recommend dropping in if you're ever in the area, probably gonna take the lad there tonight.

Brilliant, Mrs birthday on Monday and i'm going away for work, so was thinking of doing something Sunday night - this is local so win/win!

I thought their range was a bit restricted, you couldn't buy a steak or a schnitty but I reckon out of the 8 of us, there were no double ups in choices.

I got the slow cooked pork belly, it was a lot bigger than I anticipated, all of the dishes were quite sizey and no one complained about their dish at all.

The ribs looked plentiful, a chicken dish went down well and all of the pasta-like dishes had healthy portions.

If there were negatives it was that there were no bread rolls given out, minimal vegetables with the dishes and they charged $6 each for the 3 bottles of water they placed on the table that no one drank.

$464 for 8 people and a few drinks each, was expecting it to touch $600.

Never heard of that water charge before - is that a thing these days?? Would have struggled to accept that
