Awesome food, great service and value, highly recommend! I went with a group of friends for lunch. I had the onion rings with a special sauce followed by the chicken schnitzel and to finish off a brownie with ice cream etc. Everything was cooked beautifully! Can't wait to eat there again.

Only ate at the bar but absolutely loved the food here. My son keeps asking if we can go back. He reckons they're the best onion rings in Sydney!

If you live anywhere near this place, you have to do yourself a favour and head in and have one of the best meals you will ever have in a pub.

Jay's passion for food come through in shining colours and the value is as good as you will find in Sydney.

One day you will certainly have to pay 5x the price for this food, so head on down, you won't be disappointed.

I love coming to Hux. It really is such good value and I consider it my all time favorite pub! Eat the Hux burger, potato salad and onion rings. Actually eat everything, never had anything that wasn't amazing.

We went to this restaurant for a friend's birthday party. I haven't watched Masterchef, but several of my friends have and were aware of Hux's status. First I need to compliment him on his personal attention to our tables, it's not often that the head chef comes and personally takes your orders, serves your food, and clears your plate.

As far as value is concerned, you can print a voucher from his website to receive 3 courses for $30. That's probably a good offer if you want to eat all that food, and you like meat (I don't!). Otherwise you're looking at slightly pricy meals for a pub. I had a vodka and soda and then drank water for the rest of the night, so I'm not really qualified to comment on the drinks.

On to the food. There were a number of choices for mains, many of which consisted of a giant hunk of meat. For instance, there was a pork shoulder, which was to be shared by 2. This was quite a lot of food, and one set of 3 friends shared this and still had left-overs to take home, another pair shared it and demolished at least the meat portion.

Bizarrely, all of the meat dishes (including the offerings which came with gravy) were served on bread boards (thankfully this was not true for the fish and the salads). Even those who shared meat plates were given smaller cutting boards to eat off. Everyone seemed a bit put off by this, and were concerned about the graving spilling over the side of the cutting boards, or whether the cutting boards were really hygienic.

From what I gather, the fish offerings were a little bit disappointing. One friend got the fish of the day, which was a smallish piece of dory, and was supposed to have herb butter, there was no sauce to be seen, and no vegetables on her plate, only chips (although the people who got the pork shoulder did have some nice Dutch carrots on their plate).

Otherwise, there were fish and chips, calamari, and the like, none of which were remarkable. I did not want to eat any of the fish options because none of the offerings seemed more interesting than what I could make at home. However, there were no vegetarian mains, which is a serious failing. This place is in Leichhardt, not Dubbo. How hard would it be to add some ravioli or a vegetable stack to the menu? This is the only restaurant I've been to in Sydney that doesn't have at least one vegetarian option.

Instead, I ate a starter salad, which had beetroot, goat's cheese, watercress, little violets on it, and a pistachio dressing. It was absolutely divine, particularly the dressing, and both my friend and I who ordered it couldn't stop talking about how much we liked it. However, I'd wager few people would be able to manage with such a small portion to eat (I shared the 3 courses with a friend, so I also had 1/2 an appetizer and 1/2 a dessert, so that was Ok).

Our appetizer was a bleu cheese and caramelized onion tart, which was Ok, but there was something distinctly missing. The pastry was fine, but onions were too soft, and didn't have the character that I expect from caramelized onions. Were they overcooked? Cooked sous-vide instead of in a frying pan? Who knows, I don't expect to be back to ask.

The dessert was a deep-fried brownie, which was a very fudgy dark brownie coated in panko and coconut, served with berry coulis and caramel ice cream. It was nice, and I had no trouble finishing it, but I don't think frying the brownie adds anything to it. I was more impressed with the quality of the coulis and the ice cream, frankly.

Lastly, the ambience was Ok at first, but as the night grew later, the crowds grew in the TV area, and the game seemed to get louder and louder. Some people sat in view of the screen so they could watch the football. I guess if you are a football nut that's a plus, but if you don't particularly care for sports, and don't want your dinner partners focused on the TV it's a serious drawback.

Not long after we sat down the noise was so loud that we couldn't hear normal conversations and ended up shouting at each other. Not really what I pictured. Look, there are lots of pubs that serve decent food, but they allow you to eat in a spot in which you don't have to shout to be heard.

Overall, colour me fairly unimpressed. I won't rule out returning in the afternoon, when it doesn't look busy, and when I feel like eating some fried food, but I don't see it happening soon.

2.40 in the afternoon on a wet Saturday and my daughter and I stopped in for something to eat. We were surprised that they were still serving food so late, but delighted when we got our orders. The 18-hour cooked lamb shank with rosemary gravy on mash was really tasty and tender. The calamari was simply exceptional. My daughter recognised the Chef (Jay) from MasterChef, and we found another MasterChef entrant also in the kitchen. Sure, it's just a pub, but the food is amazing. A small menu (for lunch at least) but the prices are very affordable and everything looked so appealing we'll definitely be back for more.
