Cramers Hotel Reviews
Your typical local hotel/pub place. Food isn’t too bad. Have great play area for kids. I am very much addicted to the arcade games here. The dessert is the only disappointing thing here. Overall I think it’s worthwhile visiting and the food is pretty substantial. Come here maybe one a month with the kids.

We went for UFC live and oredered some food. Steak sandwich 🥪 was good. Calamari was rubbery and I find that it doesn'ttaste much. Food wasn't that warm, maybe from the cold plate and Melbourne weather. Chips weren't great but edible. We like potato wedges more than chips.
I asked if I can have wedges on my main instead of chips but staff said no. She said I'm afraid the kitchen won't do it because of the price. She could've checked for me though. But I didn't say anything as she didn't offer to check with the kitchen.
I understand that it's Mother's day and they're busy but we ordered before diner starts to get busy. Anyway, not a big deal though. I ate some chips but didn't finish them. Salad was average, not cruncy fresh but good enough.
Not bad for a pub/hotel food. Big room, clean toilets and a lot of parking space.

Went there in the evening with a friend for a game of poker. Chill place, they serve drinks until late.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great, family friendly and fun filled. And the food was First class for a pub menu. Deliciously prepared with good sized portions and quality ingredients. My compliments to the chef! Any Day. I recommend Cramers hotel happily to anyone with 5 big gold stars! Added bonus, fully wheelchair accessible.

The Manager did not have our booking for 12 people recorded which did not make for a good start to our evening. However, our group organiser arranged for three tables to be pushed together and there was plenty of space for our group of ten who were able to attend. The initial service was very good. All orders arrived quickly. The food was fairly average. I had a roast beef. The meat was plentiful and tender, but there were no traditional roast vegetables. I had a lot of carrot that was rather crunchy. For dessert, several of us opted for an ice cream scoop from the cabinet which was delicious. Special points for the availability of a decent no-alcohol, white wine (Giesen). Much appreciated. I would have scored the restaurant higher but no service was provided after the delivery of the mains. We were left surrounded by dirty dishes. The table was not cleared until after we departed. So not a totally relaxing experience.

The local pub, there's a dining side and sports bar side. Ambience is great.

The food was pitiful. My daughter and I ordered the seafood basket, and it all tasted worse than frozen fish from the supermarket.. the salad dressing looked and tasted strange, too.
My husband ordered the Cumberland sausages, and he said the mashed potato didn't taste like potato at all.
My son ordered the steak sandwich, and he said it tasted ok, but half of the sandwich had no steak on it.
The best part of the whole meal was the garlic bread.
It was very underwhelming and extremely disappointing.

Ordered grilled fish and veggies. Took 45 minutes. Small portion. Fish was burnt and dry. Really bad food. Definitely don't recommend this place.
An update from my review yesterday. The manager attended to my issue pretty much straight after my review. Having bad experiences is one thing but having management apologise and respond to you is going above and beyond. Very impressed! Thank you.

Not one of Woolworths' better offerings.
Plenty of locals were being hypnotised by the pokies but our late lunch saw an empty dining room.
Our meals were as much as can be expected but the "Gravy" on the Roast of the Day was appalling: straight out of the packet/can.
The staff were great but could we run to a Chef rather than a short-order Cook in the kitchen, considering the fortune the pokies raise?

Love this little bistro. Delicious food, awesome full of different activities playground. Servers were wonderful and sensible with any changes we needed to make. Will definitely be back. (One point is all the kids kept running to "stop" sign as there was a child on the sign. It was like a big kid invite sign not a prevention.)

If I could give the food no stars I would.
Came in with the family, We ordered 2 parmas, and a schnitzel. All which were the exact same size, which I believe are frozen or bought pre made than frozen.
My mum ordered the "Roast of the day" which was like leather. When complained about it, was told it was because it was yesterdays.
Also came with 3 day old spuds and frozen veggies.
My partner had the seafood basket, all frozen, tough and tasted really bad.
And I ordered the steak sandwich, it had cold, very old caramelised onion, and tasted sour.
Was drowning in oil and only filled the middle of the sandwich. The salad dressing on all the plates, looked very strange, and didn't taste very nice.
We also had an entree calamari which was very Chewie and also frozen.
When I complained about my steak sandwich and asked for a refund. I had to wait, around 15mins for Subhash the manager to give me the refund, only for him to tell me that no one complains about the food and I was wrong. I work in hospitality and this is no way to speak to a customer. I know frozen food when I see it and taste it. And I would never treat a customer the way he spoke to me. He didn't even apologise.
We will never return for a meal again.

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but tonight was just awful! Keep in mind it wasn't a super busy night by the looks of things.
We ordered through me&U as instructed by the staff, despite 3 staff in the bar drinks took over 30 minutes to be prepared and we're not correct. Our long land ice teas were not drinkable (they did replace them with a beer).
Some of our meals were beautiful, 3 of our steaks were cooked to perfection but the other two were medium to well, when we ordered medium rare.
Worst of all no apology for the drink wait or the poor service.

I came and sat in the bistro section, midday on a Thursday.
I ordered the rump with chips and salad. I ordered rare (just over for my personal taste) with peppercorn gravy.
The peppercorn gravy was severely lacking peppercorns but aside from that worth the money!
Side note: Better to visit early, as a family, as the security approach your table and ask you to leave just before 10 pm!

First time dining out at a bistro on my own
This place felt safe and inviting, I noticed other females doing the same.
I thought the menu was a bit overpriced for lunch. I had an entree sized salt and pepper squid which was filling and the batter was delicious, although a little bit rubbery. The presentation was also lovely, with a nice aioli spread and small salad and it took about 8 minutes.
Would order again
The real hero was the barman -G? He provided me with a phone charger, a port and severed food and drinks to about 9 tables with great timing and a smile :) and was the only one on the floor during lunch hour.
I’m sure he had other duties as the gaming room was packed and I only saw one other worker
Overall, a lovely establishment

Bar attendant didn’t know hot to make a basic cocktail - a FRUIT TINGLE and poured raspberry at the bottom? I used to work in a pub and it’s blue curacaco and vodka then lemonade and then the raspberry ontop. I didn’t see her even put the vodka in and asked if it was in yet watched her make the entire thing and not put it in but she answered saying it was put in. Lemon also doesn’t belong in a fruit tingle. I tried to tell her how to make it, in a non condescending way and she obviously took it to heart and was upset afterwards due to her body language of crossing her arms and look of disgust as if I’d just asked for her first born child. I’m not naming and shaming as I’m no dog but if managers see this, she was working Thursday 4th of April 7:30pm and reading instructions that may not have been clear on how to make this particular simple cocktail.
