Pork hock and deserts delicious but steak meal was below par as was undeseasoned and low quality steak. Asked for fries to be swapped out for extra season veg and was surprised at very small amount received as a trade out.

Great stop venue for a meal. Good selection of everything. Customer service was impressive.

Beer was great! Had the scotch steak with an egg on top. Their fries had great seasoning on them, but too much. Was too salty, and I like salt. Their dessert was apple and frejoa cheesecake. It wasn't the traditional American cheesecake, it was more airy and light, as if it was mixed with heaven. Would come here again.

Was really lovely yummy food plus very friendly staff . Plus had a guy singing in outdoor area really nice .

A bit disappointed really, waited over 40 minutes for lunch when there were only 3 tables, steak that was ordered medium rare came burnt on the outside and medium on the inside. Ribs that were orered was massively dry. Coffee was strong and nicely made.
