PJ O'Reilly's Tuggeranong Reviews
Worst meal I’ve ever had. The schnitzel was so overcooked it was hard and almost inedible. The chips tasted like they had been cooked in the morning and were the leftovers. Not knowing how to cook a schnitzel really means you have a cook not a chef. Time to upgrade!!

What to say about this food. It’s S%^^. I had the fish and chips. After waiting over an hour out can 3 overcooked fish bites. Hard dry and bloody awful. Complained and was told it was what I ordered so bad luck. My partner ordered the pj beef burger. The meat was indescribably. Had the texture of an uncooked sausage and something you find in baby’s nappy. But after complaining was told it comes that way. Very disappointing considering the menu say there food is made with love.

Went for a night out recently. I might be getting old but the place is looking very tired and neglected. Sound system is not the best and bar service is slow but the staff are friendly.
I've heard that the food is good but we didn't eat while there ... the venue had an unpleasant smell as well.

Waited over 45 mins for basic meals on a not particularly busy night.
Waitress apologetic but many customers got their meals before us so clearly we had been forgotten.

Very contradicting club. Allows female's to wear thongs on the feet but if a male does its against dress code. Wouldn't even take my kids here for a lunch feed.

Thursday night karaoke is a fantastic, friendly night! Ross and Kath run an awesome night with a great vibe. They attract a loyal, welcoming crowd. They use KaraFun (which has a great range of songs). Tech can occasionally be unreliable due to the venue’s internet / old tech issues.
Re the venue itself, unfortunately the food at this pub has been significantly ‘economised’ lately - eg schnitzels are now half size which is disappointing and poor value. Drinks are reasonably priced and staff are friendly and helpful at all times. Water from the post mix tastes musty and weird so I pay extra for bottled (in addition to my beverage) which is not ideal. There are no publicly accessible bottles/glasses/tap for patrons - unlike most hospitality venues these days. Sadly not many live muso gigs here anymore which is sad. Venue BADLY needs a renovation - one particular area is known as ‘stinky corner’! Toilets very ordinary. Kambah Inn has new owners, is being renovated, has excellent food and has live music, so it’s a good alternative to PJs on nights other than Thursday karaoke night. Five stars for karaoke night but two stars off because of the many other issues.

The staff are great, but the pub sucks. Just being in the same room as some of the clientele will probably drive you to drink just to get through it.

The lunch time specials for schnitzel is worth the visit. They have a few variations of it which is a few dollars more but the plain one for $15 is still good.
The steak is very hit and miss, out of the all the times i’ve ordered it i would say less than half the time it’s been okay. The other times it’s been burnt and that’s the only taste that comes through.
This place has a good and friendly atmosphere and is usually clean

Stopped in here for dinner tonight as I'm on a work trip with a colleague and I can happily say that it was a nice and fun experience.
It is a nice little pub that has a country town feel to it, and the staff do put in the effort to make it feel comfortable. Food is about what you'd expect for a pub and the cocktails are made most from bottle premixes. However the atmosphere what great to be in and my colleague and I enjoy a few rounds on the pool tables.

Steak was over cooked, it's not worth it for extra $20 for scotch fillet. The food quality is inconsistent, what tips us over was $2.5 for extra tomato sauce. We spent 3 drinks and 2 meals there, they would of rob us, instead they give us a tinny plate of sauce which was not even enough to finish one serving of chips. I highly recommend don't even bother to try there.

Steak was over cooked and that left it tough to eat.
Staff were friendly and helpful.

Sorry but an hour wait for Snitty and pie is very slow and no you were not that busy.
And it's not a pie, it's a $28 stew..... Where's the pastry.
I was disappointed.

Simple place to have a quick bite to eat. The schnitzel was alright, you could tell the veggies were heated from frozen. The Dianne sauce was very sweet. It wasn't a bad sauce but not what I was expecting. The staff were nice, the place was clean. Plenty of seating. They also gave a variety of meal deals throughout the week.

Only 2nd time there.
I wouldn't go again - just not for me. Sis in law wanted to try it cos kids eat free on Sunday. The menu is small and is pretty meh.
Food was very average and $$$ for a pub tbh.
Service was pretty good though.
Going for drinks and a game of pool I suppose not too bad, but wouldn't recommend dining.

Nice atmosphere here, cosy and feels like a tavern almost with all the wooden furniture. Also has two pool tables for those into games

Guinness on tap and decent pours of the stuff. The pub maintains an Irish feel. The Scotch Fillet is quite good. Great atmosphere when the live music kicks off.

Food wasn't very good. I ordered nachos and they were soggy and tasteless, wife for ordered the fish and it was ok but was really small, daughter ordered a bbq meat lovers pizza and it was was average. Not really sure how you mess up a pizza but they did. Place was loud even for an Irish pub and prices were more than I expected especially considering the quality of the food. Chips were good however.

Fantastic night, not too crowded on Thursday night. Wide ranging menu to suit all appetites. Friendly service. DJ had tech problems so no entertainment. Fun night.

Even though it's a franchise, this pub in Tuggeranong has a great friendly local feel. Has pool tables, live music as well as a variety of activities on weeknights (musical bingo was a blast!). Food is also quite good. $14 steaks on Wednesdays!!!

Chef can't cook.
After ordering, they came around to my table to say my steak was an extra $20. Medium rare = medium well done. A salad = coleslaw
Sauce costs $2.50
Save your $ and go to Rasays across the road.

24/04/24 Update. A place with great character and people. Guinness is always good and the food too. Feels like home.
2021. Great food and staff. Cold beer in summer. Good bangers and mash. Good nachos. Some excellent musicians on Friday/Saturday.
