I am a local and have been here 20+ times. I am usually pretty happy with the food, drinks and service. The people seating you and taking your order are usually pretty friendly. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night there is usually quite a long line to order, but it tends to move fairly quickly.

I've had a few mistakes made with my order in the past (for example, my request to have sauce on the side is usually ignored), but the value for money is quite good, as the portions are huge and there really isn't much over $30 or so. My parents usually get the roast of the day which is really cheap ($6.50, as I recall) and they are always happy with their meals.

One thing which would really improve this place was if they were to bring out all the entrees, all the mains, and all the desserts at the same time. It is not fun having to sit for ten minutes waiting for your friend's food to come out while yours goes cold. Once my ex had to wait an extra 20 minutes for his. We all started eating because the wait was too long and, by the time his food finally came, we had pretty much finished ours.

Overall, a decent place to eat. Could do with a few minor improvements, but not bad for pub grub.

We were out & about, and decided to drop into here for lunch. It's a little tricky to get to, hence the strong local support. You have to order from the counter, but beware, you will get icy glares from the staff if you do this before being seated! See, you have to be allocated a table to get your table number which you quote when ordering at the counter. A half-baked system, a fully fledged restaurant completely separate from the pub with wait staff yet no table service? Anyway, you can stand at the other side of the kitchen and order from a different menu at the public bar which is pretty cheap & reasonable. We ordered off the Sawmillers pseudo-restaurant side, and the meals were plentiful and not too bad. However my meal suffered from not having nearly enough of the relish which was central to the meal, leaving it dry and a little bland. There's a kids playground directly outside the entrance to the restaurant, so I reckon if you were looking for a quiet & romantic meal on a Friday or Saturday night this joint might be the place to avoid.

Absolutely disgusted in their service and management, put in a order from menu off the website, I had someone go down there to put in the order for me for takeaways, got it home didn't get what we ordered, when we called to tell them. We find their menu off the internet is not the same as the one in the restaurant, we were regular customers there, they knew we were and told us it was our fault and not theirs. Never eat there! But the bottle shop service Fantastic and friendly!

It's a great place to go if you want a quick bite before a night out or if you want to hang around and see a live show. It's just pub food as you would expect, but make sure you're hungry when you arrive, because portions are huge. Great value for kids meals, as they come with ice cream and drink included. If you come on a Saturday night, be sure to book well in advance as it is always packed. Don't come if you want a quiet one, it gets rowdy. Good value overall. Worth the visit.

Drinks are pretty dear, but this place is crazy at times on a saturday night. No booking? not much chance of getting a table. Portions are big and generous. Line snakes down the aisle as you wait to place your order. But overall, a pleasant enough place for a steak, chips and salad than any other place.

I have been in this resto quite a number of times, and been recommending to friends. If there is a gathering I always suggest this place. Blessing that I live around the same local place, Quakers Hill. My best wishes to this restaurant.

Drinks at city prices are unreasonable, this is Quakers Hill. Having being there few Friday nights, we thought lets go for lunch with a 10 month old baby last Sunday. It was obvious to us that the service staff on that shift didn't want to be there. After being presented with a broken high chair (I got one that works myself-thanks), the entree came without side dishes. We were asked to get them ourselves from the counter which there were none. Plates taken away with cutlery falling all over the place-lucky baby was away. Would I go back? not for the same service.

I'm from New Zealand and coming to this place eating the chicken or the steak is always beautifully cooked and then to delve into the beautiful Chocolate avalance, which I am ashamed to say I can finish which is gigantic. Staff always friendly and happy. Always a pleasure to dine here and bring my friends as well as the entertainment area and the bar are next to the dining area and great for kids to eat too.

I've eaten here a few times and never had a bad experience. The staff have always been helpful and mondays are great cause kids eat free and they have a clown for kids entertainment. Never been disappointed.

Quakers Inn is one of few restaurants in Quakers Hill and I think the place in pretty decent. The pub area sells drinks and you can buy old favourites like burgers and chips for cheap but the restaurant definitely has a wider variety of cuisine ranging from European dishes such as Pastas, to traditional Australian favourites like Steaks and chicken burgers.

The $6.50 roast of the day is good value plus there is always a good range of mouthwatering desserts such as mousse and mud cakes. The place is child friendly with a kids menu and kids play area and there. It would be a lot better if service was improved but other than that its a great place for locals in Quakers Hill.
