Great old style pub atmosphere, good place for a few quiet drinks, you always get table. Food is typical pub food, nothing fancy but an easy night out.

This place is a pub, not a restaurant or bar! Judging it based on the fact that it is in fact a pub, it's a pretty decent place for a local. For me, the best part is that it's big enough to know you can always get a table mid-week, without it being dead and depressing. In winter, the indoors area near the fire is nice and cosy, in summer, the eer garden is unpretentious and relaxing. Try the bbq your own steak/chicken with salad deal, it's good value mid week and let's face it, this is the type of food that pubs are good for!

Nice enough surroundings but no character or atmosphere to the place. Stock standard foods provided at a reasonable price. Perhaps, suits after work groups or maybe fams on the weekends. Nothing really special.

Hadn't been here for about 25 years, and talk about going into a time warp, except theres a lot more families now then in my day! Enjoyed Anzac Day there yesterday and was pleasantly surprised that the $11 deal (steak or chicken for the barbie, and salad bar) was still applicable. This is a really good lunch deal, thanks to Masterchef advice, I grilled my sirloin for 8 minutes and it was perfect medium rare, tender and tasty.
I enjoyed the 8 choices on the salad bar - good mix between leafy and starchy salads - and was well pleased with my selection of greek salad, cous cous with sweet potato, spinach and a (non-creamy) coleslaw. It helped that I took my own homemade salad dressing (I will not eat bottled), though there was oil and vinegar on offer so I could have survived.
Anyway, it was really a pleasant experience, we could even book a table, this is the one that I would take the country rellies to!

Went there on 4 Feb, with family and friends. They've done it up. Pool room, pokies room and outdoor area (they've blocked off Pacific Hwy entrance). Cosy little local with wood paneling. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Times I've been interesting menu. Our party ordered steak and lamb, etc., they got theirs but Mum's and mine (prawn cutlets and gnocchi) took about 40-45 minutes to come (also heard other gnocchi took 30 minutes).
Shouldn't have taken that long. In the end the manager gave my parents a free double dinner voucher. That's never happened before. Apart from that, it was a lovely night.

The Great Northern is conveniently located on the corner of Pacific Highway and Mowbray Road. The restaurant is a barn-like area, with old-timey photos on the wall. They've recently done some renovations, chiefly to the gaming areas. The prices have gone up recently as well, but the food has not improved.
The best thing about this place is the $11 steaks with unlimited salad bars. They don't have a whole lot of vegetarian options and the specials menu is pretty hit or miss. When I last visited I had a pretty bland pasta dish. Although we used to eat here almost weekly I was pretty disappointed.

The GNH is conveniently located, but the positives stop there. Portion sizes are small for the prices, the menu is average and has not changed for 5 years and the attitude of the staff fails to make up for any of these shortcomings. The surrounds are also very underwhelming and could do with a major overhaul, although like the menu this has been the case for the past 5 years.

The Great Northern is consistent - consistently bad to middle average. I moved to Chatswood West in Sept 2003. Ever since, the food has always struck me as dull. The BBQ is ok - but the good meat (the lamb) is quite expensive. The menu has hardly changed since 2003. The drinks are also unimpressive. Tonight I couldn't even get a pinot by the glass.
And then there's the service. What you get is blondes of between 18-21 who have (it seems) failed the introductory Basic Customer Service 101. They are consistently so average it is beyond description. You may get a constructed smile -if you're lucky.

We go here because its close to home. I am never fussed on the "all you can eat" salad bar as they don't have a great range of salads, would prefer my steak with some mash than with salad.

We went as a family for Fathers day. Was well organized and the food I thought was very good value and well portioned. Was family friendly, would definitely return.
