took 15+mins to get the food ready! Not friendly service desk! Apparently 15mins wasn’t enough time to make the rice fully cooked! core was still uncooked 👎 Lamb was obviously not fresh; hard to chew;

The service is absolutely disgusting. The attitude of service is tragic. Asking for cutlery and say “Nah”, expecting you to use hand to eat.

Terrible service. Rude and short tempered staff. We were told to move away from the side of the bar area by a very rude staff member so they could serve there, but when I stood at that spot to get served the staff member refused to serve me and made me move further along. They didn't try to explain their actions and went straight to loud and stern warnings. We're not children or drunk uni students.

Service was perfect. Steak sandwich was disastrous, they managed to make the meat raw & very tough to chew at the same time.

Recently held an event there, all staff were brilliant, and food was absolutely brilliant. Especially Hamish, helped us organise everything, timely responses, we were lucky to have him. Event went smoothly :) everyone had fun! Thanks again.

Pretty crowded, but I could see why. The veggie burger was delicious, the fries nice and crisp, and a great selection of drinks. The noise volume high enough for privacy but low enough for comprehension. A great place for dinner before a gig at the ANU.

Nice place to chill in the evening. Tried prawn chorizo spaghetti 🍝 and it was nice. Never disappointing. Good amount of serving. Good price.

Nice enough place with a decent selection of beers. Some specials are good through, overall, it's a bit of expensive for what should be a uni pub. Food is lousy though. I ate here ages ago and it was bad. Had a parma again today, was one of the worst I've ever had. Batter soggy, chicken tasteless and they used shredded "pizza-style" ham. Decent atmosphere on Thursday/Friday evenings when it's not lockdown.

Great steak sandwich and great selection of beer - staff have changed since last year and are a lot more friendly. Great local venue for lunch and a beer

Great spot for a good feed, a drink and so on - great value across the board too. Very laid back and good for a relaxed night with friends!

Great prices and excellent pub food. Will definitely come back. We had a absolutely wonderful bartender her name was Amy, she made our visit just gorgeous. Just had to add that the lady named Eva who served us was absolutely fantastic 🤩 she definitely made our experience above and beyond so thank you.

Great place to get some food and a drink. Both are reasonably priced and location is great for ANU students. Not the spot for crazy nightlife but pretty close to the city so you won't have to go far.

Great place. Good food and relatively quick, so great for a work lunch. Only downside they said they don't take bookings yet 80% of the tables were reserved when we got there...

Great food and nice atmosphere! Suitable for drinking with buddies, a little noisy if you just want a meal.

Even for a university pub the food was pretty ordinary.

Casual bar and food, usually mostly a uni crowd being located within the ANU campus. Range of beers and food. Only online menu. Indoor and outdoor areas, outdoors is good, when weather permits, some overlooking the mighty Sullivan's Creek.

Badger & Co sports a great relaxed atmosphere with music in the middle of Kambri, the social heart of the Australian National University. There are Good meals, including some specials, friendly service and good drinks options. The Specials board changes frequently. Plenty of seating inside and out. There is live music at times. Parking is available in Kambri's underground carpark as well as on surface across the creek.

Badger & Co are a good and lively pub inside the ANU campus but attracts a lot of people from outside the university mainly for their good value for money good and drinks. It's also got a great atmosphere and is often busy. The tacos, chicken parmi and steak were all received well and tasted good. Definitely worth trying this place for casual lunch and dinner.

A relatively large venue, which was lively with younger university students enjoying playing pool. Good variety of food, large selection of tap beer and cider. Food is reasonably priced and the serves are excellent. Generally, university pubs are renowned for cheaper drinks, but not in this case.

A pub/bar/restaurant operation popular with students and the general public. Situated with the ANU but easily walkable from the western side of Canberra city centre. Food is ordered at the bar and collected from the kitchen when your buzzer rings. Food prices are notably lower when compared to comparable venues. There is plenty of seating (except on very busy nights) both indoors and outdoors. The place has a nice outlook over trees and greenery.

A good option for a beer and range of standard pub fare. Staff didn't inform me that you have to pick food up at the back of the restaurant but I figured it out.
