Aspley Central Tavern Reviews
We stopped in the for lunch yesterday. We were pleasantly surprised that it was kids eat free, but was disappointed to find out that they no longer do the Sumday roast
My partner ordered the chicken burger and I ordered the doorstep steak sandwich and we shared a bacon and cheese garlic bread.
The garlic bread was great and was undoubtedly the best part of our meal.
The chicken burger was ok. The doorstep steak sandwich was noway near the size of a doorstep.
The beer was lovely and cold though.

Went for lunch again today and as usual the food and service were terrific. It was quite busy with a large booking of at least 30 people. I was pleasantly surprised that despite the large booking they were able to service that booking in a timely manner in addition to all us other patrons.
Staff were really nice and the food was excellent. New menu is great.
I saw another review from some salty real estate agent (enough said), no idea what he was on about, it's not been my experience so I'd take it with a grain of salty salt.

Went for dinner tonight with a group of 6
There was a massive improvement in the food. It was exceptional
And absolutely friendly staff from front of house and to the kitchen.
Am looking forward to eating here more regularly.

We have only recently decided to give this place a try again after a few year personal strike over a fedora and a soft shell crab (not important)! We are so so glad we did. The food has been absolutely superb! The service was very friendly and accommodating and the food came out super fresh, flavoursome and speedy! The pricing was very reasonable and in line with average current pub food prices including specials. We were surprised it wasn't busier; it definitely should be! In saying that it was a weekday. The price for drinks at the bar were a bit of a small pinch but with alcohol tax on the hike it wasn't a surprise. They were lively thirst quenching drinks. 9.5/10 for us. Will be back, again and again.

We dropped in for dinner on our way home from Brissy. The food was delish & the staff were so lovely & accommodating. Would definitely go back again.

We attended on a Sunday lunch on Father's Day. There were 2 of us.
We did not have a booking however the staff were able to accommodate us.
We had an entre - salt and pepper squid. It was very tasteful.
Our mains arrived and were a little disappointing. The garlic prawns - too much liquid and in dire need of salt. The chicken parmigiana - was overcooked and a bit dry.
Service staff were excellent though.

Very badly cooked steak. Asked for medium rare and it came out almost well done and very dry.

The food was obviously bagged and frozen, then deep fried for convenience. The fettuccine bosciaola was missing flavour and fresh ingredients, felt like it was just dumped into a pan to simmer then dumped onto a plate for service.

The food was amazing! We booked a table of over 30 people the Tavern was understaffed however the service we received last night was nothing but 100% these young people were so helpful and did their jobs what seemed no effort they kept their cool amongst our big families craziness and I just want to commend them and say thank you so very much we felt welcomed and supported the food was just beautiful seriously you would have never thought they were understaffed as the customer service was on point! Keep up the great work! Thank you from the Minniecon family & friends!

The atmosphere was good. We got seated outside in the heat. We had to ask for the overhead fans to be turned on and water for our table. Food was of a good standard. My steak was slightly over the medium rare that I asked for. Bar service was prompt and friendly. Our food took a while, but only because they were very busy for Sunday lunch.

Staff were very friendly but food was bit of a let down. Got a parmy and the french schnitzel. Tasted very cheap and lowkey seemed like they bought everything from the Coles frozen section. Mushroom sauce tasted like gravy with a couple of piddly bits of mushrooms in it, bit confusing, thought they gave us the wrong sauce. Also the bacon bits on both the garlic bread and schnitzel were burnt. Hollandaise sauce didn’t come on it to begin with and when it came back there was way too much, was a bit sickly. X

Staff were happy & friendly plus I noticed that they had a free coffee/hot chocolate machine where a lot of places had phased them out.

Staff are always friendly and food is good.
Just added some photos from todays visit July 30 2022. Haven’t been for awhile but food is still good.

Overall it was good for a quick meal.
Food order did take to long to arrive, about an hour and one meal was missing.
The staff were very apologetic which I really respected.

Nice place to eat but the meals are so big. I noticed a lot of people leaving food on the plates but if you want a big meal go there they are great.

Nice place, friendly staff, quick service. Meals were pretty good - we had a schnitzel and a steak. Schnitzel was nice, didn't taste like one of those cheap frozen ones that many other pubs/taverns serve. My husband said his steak was a bit 'charcoaley' but he still enjoyed it overall. Will most likely return.

Lovely place, modern.
Very clean
The man that served me was
such a gentleman.
I was here because I'm afraid of the storm coming.
He made me an awesome coffee.

I've been once. The pub looks nice, but the food was horrible. I would not recommend it. My partner and i both didnt finish our dinner because it was just bad, and our daughter got a tuna mac that was revolting. This was April of 2021 though so maybe its gotten better by now. I would hope they have hired better cooks

Great trivia, Hit and miss food... The steaks are good one week not great the next, the chef is unable to consistently cook a steak to order, in my case medium rare ..

Food was ridiculously priced for what we received and very ordinary. Staff to busy on phones behind bars to actually pay attention.

First and last time going here unfortunately. Food was OK. Veges were undercooked, steak tasted like burnt charcoal and the mash was plain. The highlight was the cheesy garlic bread and the dogs enjoying the leftover steak at home. If you do eat here just order at the counter since the app says a few items are sold out yet available if ordered from the counter. Specials aren't on the app either. Very underwhelming experience and wouldn't go back again.

Family lunch - Not great. Barra fish was very suspect. I could smell it. My 13-year-old son was unwell afterwards. Steak was fatty. Kids nuggets were like bullets. One salad had all ingredients the other just lettuce. Kids burger was good, and chips were good.

A tavern in the burbs of Brisbane that offers excellent well cooked and presented food at reasonable prices. Good selection of tap beers and ciders. Very clean facilities, disability friendly. Pleasant atmosphere. Open Monday night! Great discovery!
