We used the $8 off a main vouchers. There were 4 vouchers/people, each meal had to be rung up separately and each had a buzzer assigned. 4 buzzers. I asked if we could all be put on the same buzzer, unfortunately no was the answer. The meal were stagnated over 1 hour, not a pleasant experience. When I approached to find out about the last meal, it was waiting to be collected, they had not buzzed the number. While the meals were nice, we won't be going back again on a Sunday if ever.

Prices are overpriced, however, I don't mind paying if I am going to get good food but this did not happen. Had the worst dinner ever at this place and I can assure you that after tonight I will not go and have dinner here again, stay away from the citrus crust salmon, it is served with hashbrowns of all things and the salad was drenched in the citrus dressing which was absorbed by the hashbrowns and salmon, feeling sick just thinking about it!

Very expensive very poor quality food! The kids meals are very disappointing .
We ordered the chicken nuggets for the kids. My kids were hungry before we arrived and wondered why they were not eating! Only to find after I tasted their nuggets why! They were terrible dry overcooked pieces of processed foul tasting meat. I went to complain and they wouldn't help me because apparently no one else had put a complaint in that day.

We have given them the benefit of the doubt a couple of time with trying practically all the meats to offer including the seafood and it is below average. We definitely won't be going back again.

Overprices drinks - yes.
Food- lovely but a bit over priced. Lots to choose from.
Quick food. Wouldn't come back as inside has no atmosphere and outside is just awful full of children.

We had a weekday lunch here at one of the ever-increasing Woolworths owned pubs. My son and I ordered 2 x $28 scotch fillet steaks. Both came with plain salad and some chips. Steaks weren't great, chewy and fatty. I asked for mine medium rare, the other medium and there was no discernable difference. You get charged $2 extra for sauce, which is not right and which we both declined.

Meals came out really, really quickly. This meal was worth half of what we were charged, there is no way that this came anywhere near to delivering for what they are charging. Thinking of the God-awful decor brings me to make a special mention about the ambience, it's ghastly, it's horrendous. This place is clearly used as a super-creche. It's like a bleak concrete prison yard outside, inhabited by thousands of berserk kids going insane while their mothers sit on the benches swatting flies, sipping chardonnay or Beam & Coke completely oblivious to the chaos their beloved and multiple offspring are creating.

If you are above the age of five, do not even contemplate walking outside. What a hideous place.

After being advertised on Sydney Weekender and having driven past I thought it would be a nice Sunday outing with the family, well I was sadly mistaken! It was over priced, had no ambience what so ever and how could one make a mistake with drinks! We all ordered meat dishes. The meat was chewy and I could barely see mine in my plate, and for $26 I'm sure I could have gotten a better meal closer to home. Very disappointing. :(

Went for a quiet lunch on Sunday, yeah right. I agree with previous comment, out of control kids, I think the parents use this as a nanny service. Besides the screaming kids, the steaks we ordered, medium rare, were tough and very chewy. The prices charged did not warrant the meals that were served. Paid approx $25 for steak and chips, value approx half that. We couldn't wait to eat and get out. Will never go back! Many other places to eat a decent steak and half the price.

Ah, the Ettamogah. You used to have the best steaks in the Hills two years ago, but something has very obviously changed. Steaks are still better than say, the Outback Steakhouse down the road, or the Mean Fiddler, but they are average at best nowadays. The one overriding negative about this place is the ambience - it doesn't exist. Soulless, undecorated barn would describe the interior, playpen full of roaming, screaming, out of control children accurately captures the atmosphere of the outside area. If the owners had spent more on the inside decor, and less on the gaudy cartoon house out the front, the place might do better.

I paid $25 per person for two adults and one child of 13 for a function buffet. The food was atrocious. The buffet consisted of congealed slices of beef or lamb soaking in a ban-marie of gravy. No alternatives if you are vegetarian. Two very ordinary salads, green and caesar, baked potatoes and bread rolls. They ran out of bread rolls so for my $25 all I had was salad and potatoes. Poor drink service, unhelpful staff and the courtyard outside, was so dirty, unpleasant, reminded me out a goal exercise yard with kids play equipment. I will never eat there again nor recommend it to anyone. Worst dining experience in years.
