Jokers on Ryrie Reviews
Worst steak that I had. Really chewy. Felt like I had chewing gum. Couldn't swallow. I think because the meat was really old

We hadn’t been here since before covid and it used to be amazing. We got yelled at from one side of the bistro and pointed to the table, the nachos were like burnt chips with bolagnaise sauce and burnt cheese, we asked 2-3 times for sauce but it never came. Didn’t eat much of it as it was very inedible. Also got a parma and it was okay though

We decided to go out and eat ,it was getting late, around 830pm most places the kitchens were closing I called Jokers on Ryrie at 830pm asked if they were still open for dinner, which they were they advised us that the kitchen closes at 9pm .
We made our way there 840pm to our surprise we were still offered the full menu which was amazing as kitchen closes in 20min,
We appreciated the service from the young lady who took our order and waitered on our table.
The food was amazing.
W had beef sliders as an entree and steak meals with surf & turf ,crumbed lamb cutlets ,we also ordered 2 of the bread puddings, which were so good.
The vibe and atmosphere were on point, nice chilled dining in the outside area.
what we also noticed and appreciated were the No smoking and No E cigarettes in the outdoor area.
Overall, I recommend checking out Jokers on Ryrie if you're visiting Geelong.

Prompt service, meals were delicious, hot & quick, & the waitress was terrific! Apart from the dated & unusual layout of the bistro which will shortly be undergoing refurbishment, we were extremely impressed with our experience here!

Our new favourite family restaurant in CBD. The bistro is beautiful, food was fantastic and great prices. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond for our family birthday dinner. We struggled to find somewhere in the CBD to accommodate a nice kid friendly family dinner and we booked here on a whim. Now this will be our go to every time our family gets together.

Ordered fish n chips for dinner. Didn’t taste very fresh. Half a handful of chips. That’s just plain rude. Service could’ve been a little faster, it’s not like the joint was packed. Meals are tiny and for the price that’s ridiculous. We thought we were receiving an entree.

Jokers used to be good but it is probably the worst venue in Geelong they update dress codes every month workers are not welcome slippers hats glasses hoodies and many more stupid regulations are being imposed I recommend visiting anywhere else

Its an old favourite of mine. For personal reasons. No real atmosphere, haven't tried the food and the service is nothing special, kinda slow actually. But check out the disabled toilet, in the pokie room. Best part of the pub.

i’m not usually one to leave reviews, but jokers by now absolutely deserves the praise. every staff member working there, security included, are the most friendly and accommodating people. always a chill, happy and safe environment to have a meal or a drink. my favourite bar to go have a pint at hope it never changes. special shout out to adam for always making my visits funny and memorable. 10/10 food drinks and service, be sure to stop past at least once :)

Had booked in for my daughters birthday party for about 20kids. Food was good and warm, delicious and everyone had a fantastic day. I highly recommend booking your function here. They are reliable, efficient, professional, friendly and accommodating. Thank you everyone that helped me made my daughters day. Definitely coming back. Happy customer.

Great place, the guy that looked after us was awesome, even help us with parking, thank you.
Only complaint with the rooms is there is no coffee making facilities. Now this is a serious situation as coffee is a vital life starter in the mornings. For $125 we would have expected that.

Great meal once again after completing the festival of Sails at Geelong yacht club, plenty of ice cold beers to go around.

Great food, fast friendly service and very comfortable chairs.
Pesto pasta, Ceasar salad, garlic bread and apple crumble were yumbo. We’ll be back.

Everything was great at Jokers.
Food was fantastic, service was amazing and Atmosphere looked and felt very inviting and beautiful.
The only reason I’m not giving 5/5 stars is because the online menu said $18 for Parma night and when we went to pay, the staff said the price online was not correct.
They did however, only charge us the $18 per Parma meal because of the misinformation online.
I would strongly advise Jokers to update their online menu prices and for customers to always check prices online to the prices in the Bistro.
Other than that I’d definitely recommend this place to everyone!!
Will definitely be coming back in the future. Despite the misinformation on prices.

Came for lunch on a Friday, overall it was a surprisingly good experience. Lunch specials were $10.50, I had the Guinness pie which was good. Others ordered from the standard lunch menu and were happy with their choices. The $16 porterhouse steak was a winner, not only in price but also in quality. The staff were friendly and courteous. It's definitely worth visiting.

Always a favourite of my family to eat at Jokers.
Meals are quality with generous portions, there is a wide range of food to choose from the menu you will definately find what your looking for, bonus is you never wait long for meals to be served.
The staff at jokers are always pleasant and always greet you with a smile, that's all you need for a positive dining experience.
Seeya soon Jokers.
