Corrimal Bowling Club Reviews
Wow to the rude bistro staff!! The chef and his wife are not suited for hospitality. The food was sub par. You can’t order anything beef on Saturday’s don’t ask why they will abuse you. The fried rice is boiled and about three spoonfuls. Terrible stay clear. They should be reported to council the kitchen is filthy.

We go there on a weekly basis, food is excellent
Choice is amazing, always hot and fresh. Sometimes his wife is a bit grumpy
Otherwise an excellent bistro.

Wasn't sure when I was ordering for a party of 20, it felt a bit rushed. But oh my gawd when it all came out the food was awesome, generous portions fresh produce. For a two person team, wow!! Definitely a hidden gem, we'll be back.

This is a review for "Lee's kitchen" the bistro in there. Please note. the bowling club facility's are completely fine.
The lady running the show is straight up rude. the food is on par, but a simple request of no vegetables to a meal, is "impossible" she is always rushed, rude and doesn't seem to care when people have different requests.

This bowlo is perfect! Hidden away at the bottom of the escarpment, not to busy and chinese that is the best I have had anywhere. I would come here purely for the feed. My gosh!

The Good: Great beer garden & play area for the kids.
The Bad: Extremely rude bistro staff, bar staff were not far behind. Very limited drink options. Food was average.

Restaurant staff were very rude. Asked for gf meal and an Asian restaurant could only offer steak and fish. Unacceptable.

One of the worst bowling clubs I have ever attended. At first a really ugly old extreamly unhealthly skinny with a bad attitude barmaid tried to rip me off $50, like it's hard to tell the difference between yellow and a green bill the bistro was one of the worst bistros ever with people complaining about their food constantly and shouting at the kitchen people because things were overcooked and undercooked, then when I returned to the bar a few minutes before happy hour finishes the same barmaid charged me full price and claimed that the till time was correct and the international time on my phone was wrong even after I showed her she then snarly stated that the till was correct and I should watch the time more carefully next time, not I'm sorry but thats the time in the Till which would of been exceptablle bar staff like her cost client tell. The rest of the staff were great pitty to see them dragged down by one that should be removed. Then the meat raffle they claimed the packs were valued at $40 when they were really under $20 and breakfast packs were filled with half a dozen cheap eggs and a poor half a kilo of bacon as they're only $5 a kilo at the country grocer. Very poorly run totally. Even the kids at the table beside me were unhappy and got ripped off by the machine and left most of there food. Worst Club. Ever. Waste of a membership.

Nice cold beer and some of the very best Asian Food from the Bistro, in the Illawarra.
A nice friendly club.

Nice bowling club with typically great staff and good play area for kids. But the in house bistro is staffed by the possibly most ridiculously rude owners. It's such a shame that a nice place to go has such a disappointing bistro. The food truck when there is much better.

Lovely local club with a great ambience with the Alfresco area. We ate outdoors on NYE and we had a lovely time. Fresh air, undercover, and the staff at the bistro were very helpful. I had a seafood plate which was delicious, fresh and just a nice amount. Highly recommend the club, if you want a casual lunch or dinner with friends or family.

Looks like a basic family-friendly but quiet club. It's pretty much one big hall (except for the gaming/pokies room) so anyone after a relaxed dinner with friends and family will have to tolerate those screaming for their horses to come in down at the TAB end of the hall. It's obvious that a fair bit of thought and work has been put into the bistro area and there seems to be an amazing value-for-money deal with a buffet dinner on Friday and Sunday – something I'm definitely going to come back to try. A bit more redevelopment to spruce up the club would do wonders.

Lee's kitchen, went there one week, food was lovely. Went back last week, what a knob. You might be able to cook Lee, but your attitude totally sucks. Spoke with the GM. You won't be there much longer Lee. Hopefully

I ordered take away.
Hubby's meal of Sate chicken and fried rice looked and according to him tasted great.
Unfortunately I went with an entreeof Sate chicken skewers, and chip s. Chips were fine, but the chicken was coated in some very very salty crumb, abd the little container of sauce was definitely Not Sate, I haven't got a clue what it was.
Very disappointing.

Excellent place to come with the family, large play area outside and plenty of space for the kids to roam.
Bar staff are always friendly and the prices are very reasonable.
This place would be 5 stars were it not for the Bistro inside, which has possibly the rudest people I've ever come across, it's unbelievable they're still in business - they're obnoxious and make you feel like an inconvenience for ordering food:"THAT WILL BE 45 MINUTE" is their usual trope, they seriously need some customer service training.
The Snack Shack outside is a welcome addition, so support them instead.
Also, the 'smoking area' is right at the front of the club, which everyone has to walk past to get to the outdoor area, this really needs moving elsewhere when there are kids around.

Can't say I would return. The playground is great and the food portion is great, the pricing is great, it just came down to friendliness and professionalism from staff. Really don't appreciate staff smoking where people are eating and I felt I was intruding on the kitchen staff when ordering. There is no GF available, though the staff had no clue of dietary requirements.. it's 2021, plenty of other places that are accommodating.

Booked for Sunday lunch for -15 at 11.45am. We were watching the other patrons order and noticed that after the fifth order, a sign was put up saying there would be a 40 minute wait on orders. The couple running the kitchen were very rude, the lady missed writing one of the orders. Told us to hurry up with the order. The bar staff came over to try and help - they were extremely helpful and regretted that we had such terrible experience with the kitchen staff. One patron returned his pizza with one bite taken out - saying it was cold and raw. No offer was made to compensate him.

Asked if they had sizzling dishes and was told “no not anymore” so we ordered our 25$ chicken in oyster sauce. Dish was cooked in under a minute and some of it was stone cold while other bits were scorched and dry. Obviously it was microwaved, someone will get food poisoning.
Finished our meal went to another section of the club then to find out when leaving that they were serving sizzling plates, So glad we didn’t waist money on extending our membership. Won’t ever be back ! Corrimal RSL is much better for quality and value

All the staff super friendly...except for the old thing with short hair. Tried paying on credit card with my phone. Has worked fine at the other 9'999 venues but wasn't working on that day. I said 'silly machine' in a jovial way. Awful bartender replied 'nothing wrong with the machine' in anger as if it was her first born child! Returned to the party and told my story and heard a story from another 5-6 people about how awful they were treated as well. Have a feeling she's been there for years and due to the shortage of labour in the hospitality industry she's been kept around. Good luck all!!!

A great club, very friendly staff and excellent food, with a surprisingly large menu suitable for most taste buds.
