Went to the Piano bar and ordered 3 cocktails, two came out half full, when I asked the server to fill them up, he said that’s how it is. Basically he made 1 cocktail in 1 shaker, then the 2nd two from one mixer. He didn’t want to help at all, I asked for a refund as they were Sydney prices. He called a manager and she was able to top them up. What a chore, oh and they tasted terrible. Poor service, expensive prices and terrible taste. I won’t return.

Went there two nights in a row after Bathurst, staff were really friendly and signed us in no worries. First night meals were good, bangers and mash was spot on after a day at the track next night chicken schnitzel consisted of a 2mm slither of chicken breast surrounded by thick over cooked crumbs. It was like the chef put a chicken breast through a ham slicer and turned it into 10 schnitzels. I have never seen anything like it. Mash was ok and carrots could have done with another 5 mins cooking. Will try somewhere else tonight.

Went for dinner with a large group at Diggers. Meals were fantastic and well priced. Great atmosphere and introduction to Orange

Went for dinner that was advertised as bbq and blues night. Expected bbq of several choices of meats, didn't see any sight of a bbq or any bbq foods. 7 of us ordered different meals and all of them were terrible, overcooked with sweet sauces.
Very poor quality, basically uneidible. I then received an email from the club asking how my meal was and could they do anything better, I told them of my experience, needless to say I haven't heard from them.
Replying to complaints is a start to doing things better I'd have thought.

The cafe offers large old fashioned milkshakes and delicious cakes. The restaurant Diggers also has some decent dining options.
For something fancier, head upstairs to the Greenhouse, where you can enjoy nice cocktails, live music, and a family-friendly atmosphere. The club is clean, has plenty of parking, and is overall a great spot for both casual and special occasions. Highly recommended!

The best value member meals I have eaten. Also, they are great value for non-members. I eat there every Thursday for lunch with 2 others.

Service at the cafe was slow, additionally the order was completely forgotten. When it did arrive the drinks were spilled and no apologies were made. The staff laughed about their inadequacy and were overheard talking about how they were waiting for us to leave (I assume to alleviate their discomfort) Every job is important and should be delivered with professionalism and respect.
Disappointed and a taint on our evening.

Rude wait staff trying to take meals when not finished and smirk remarks when walking away from table food slapped on plate and over cooked is the chef qualified or just a food supervisor.. very disappointed in the service here..

On the menu it said marinated chicken wings. They were not. They where baked and had the sauce put on them 2 stars. The chips and gravy was great 5 stars. Food came out quite fast considering how busy it was.

Only giving 1 star as can not give 0 stars.
Do yourself a favour... steer clear. You are better off giving your money to a flying pig.
On arrival, we were not welcomes in a friendly way, no hello, just asked if we have signed in already today.....
Went to the Bistro. Ordered fish and chips, got 2 pieces of fish (surprised) 1 was inedible due to being powdery, chips were hard. Lamb cutlets were thin and dry, gravy was cold,
Pizza was dreadfull and slimy,
Cheesy pasta had way too much cheese which made it unpalatable.
Chicken Burger was dry and chewy the Bacon was horrible.
The drinks tasted watered down, the lemonade was like carbonated tap water, the lemon, lime and bitters was more like pink lemonade.
Cups were dirty.
Needless to say the food and whole experience was extremely disappointing.

Nice little club in orange. We had breakfast here and it was nice here. Very quite when we went so not many people seems to visit on a weekday. Plenty of parking and toilets are nearby. Food prices and waiting times are reasonable

My First time having Indian food in Australia. The food is just amazingly delicious. The hospitality is great. I enjoyed their food a lot. Now I love Indian food and becomes my favourite one. No online booking at the moment, just walking no problem.

I WILL NEVER GO BACK i took my family out to the diggers so we could have a nice family dinner but instead we had to seat ourselves only to have a incredibly rude hostess approach us at our table she then had the nerve to go stand at another table across from us and proceed to talk about me and my family while both her and the other customer pointed at us I have never been treated so poorly or with such disrespect in my life and I will be making complaints about the rude staff (yes I have her name) oh not to mention the food was very subpar and not worth the money.
Don't waste your time unless you want to leave feeling like you are not welcome in a place that is ment to family friendly and welcoming.

I have had 2 lunches over the last 2 weeks.
The first was 2 Fridays ago.
I ordered the fish special. Before I had a chance to sit down it was delivered. Made me think it was a prepared meal and not my order.
The fish was an entree size, chips were luke warm. An absolute disgrace.
Yesterday I returned for my usual chicken snitzel.
After waiting the best part of 20 minutes it was delivered. I also noticed 3 other tables who were there before me were getting quite agitated as they had not received their order.
The snitzel was warm, lightly crumbed and soft buttery looking not golden brown which I am used to. Once again chips were just warm. Salad was 2 half small tomatoes, 2 slices of cucumber and about 3 small lettuce leaves. What a disgrace. I would rather spend my $10 elsewhere. I won’t be dining there again.

Huge meals both meals were pasta and delicious. If you like the pokies it's great as the whole club is full of them. Clean and newly renovated but not much else going on

Have had pretty good meals generally at services clubs. My husband enjoyed his steak which was cooked medium as requested. I had the roast of the day, lamb with veggies, gravy etc. it arrived cold, sent it back, same meal returned, still cool, but gave up. The kitchen was not busy so I don’t know what’s going on. No apology from staff.

Had breakfast at the cafe, included in our meal. 50$ for a bacon and egg roll and a few slices of toast. Poor waitress was run off her feet. Wouldn't come back though

Employee took my visitor licence and gave it to another guest, she kept denying that she took it, 15 minutes later the duty manager reviewed the camera hesitant and saw everything, we left as we didn't get any apology from any one not even the manager

Diggers restaurant always satisfies our needs - for me lambs fry & bacon does the trick, and the chicken snitties are always good. Staff are always attentive and friendly.

Diggers is run by snooty boomers who should retire. Have no patience and happy to cause a scene without the right information.. Robbin is the main culprit.
As a new member only being there 3 times I won't he back with my family and the 5 year membership and sit and rot!

Chicken was cooked to absolute perfection. It was tender, succulent, juicy, and delicious.

Always loath to leave a negative review but the management need to put a rocket up the staff in the restaurant. We stood waiting to get a table while 5 staff stood gossiping behind a counter. Then when ordering the lady taking the order was more interested in gossiping to the lady beside her than acknowledging us. Other people beside us also mentioned staff standing around and having a gossip.
Quite sad as it is a nice club and the food was awesome. Some staff or management training is needed.

6.80 for a bottle of Pepsi. Clearly ripping the community off. The diggers would be so proud. Despicable.
