We were at a party of 19, lunch menu was well priced. Our meals came out within 15 minutes and all enjoyed our time there. Went to the bank 4 days ago, with family had great meals as always

We've held many functions here and always found the staff and food amazing, so I recommended it to family for a function on the weekend and was left so embarrassed The platter portions were smaller then in the past so we ended up with not enough food, plus specific items from the platters are "no longer on the menu" though still advertised on their platter descriptions-namely the hot dogs and meat balls When the fish pieces came out they were cold, upon further inspection they weren't even cooked inside!! My husband got thr attention of staff and let them know and the response was "well what do you want me to do? I can go heat it up but it's already gone out" not even an apology So my husband went to the bar to speak with someone else, he spoke with someone much more reasonable who said they would organise some form of refund or compensation so we sent my mother up, who had paid for the platters. She was offered an apology but nothing further The most redeeming part of the day was the kids play ground but even that was littered with chocolate wrappers on arrival (at 11.15)

Went here to celebrate my husbands grandfathers birthday. The food was good but not the best. A good place for family and friends with a nice atmosphere. Food was a 6/10 and would rather go there for drinks instead.

We hosted our engagement party here on the weekend, in The Bank’s function room “The Vault”. Can’t have asked for better staff to work with, so friendly and accomodating. Food was great. Well priced. Highly recommend if you’re looking to host an event!

We arrived at 5.30 for dinner and our yearly catch up. After having a couple of drinks we decided to order as there was no queue. After ordering the queue was quite long, a good move we thought. Well we waited and waited, meals kept coming out for all the people that ordered after us. Every person that ordered after us got their meals, then finally after an hour, ours was ready. I ordered the rump steak and vegies, the steak was way under weight and the veggies were terrible to say the least! All 10 of us are from a hospitality background and all considered the quality of the meals to be sub standard. 1 staff member behind the bar and people 10 deep to get a drink! Not good enough at all. back to The Braddie next year!

The food was disgusting. The girl serving in the kitchen was fantastic, very pleasant and an extremely hard worker. But would never go back.

Shouldn't have expected so much from a place called 'The Bank'. Sure did take my money and give little in return. Supplying a very average meal lacking in size, flavour and poorly presented. It's good to try new places and give businesses a go but that's about all I'll be giving this place. Would have given a 2 but the premises and staff did compliment the food enough to be deserving of a 3.

Playground not safe and staff admitted they won’t do anything about it. Unlocked maintenence section where kids can climb above the slide over sharp fence yet because they lost the keys and I quote “months ago” they don’t care if kids can jump over the sharp fence into the car park. Do not recommend going here with kids when the staff won’t even lock a safety hazard for staff only.

Ordered the mix grill asked for medium rare got we’ll done the four quarter chop came out as a crumbed cutlet bacon seemed to get heated up in the microwave hard egg and the sausage tasted like a coles sausage. Order 2 sauces that they forgot about them and to top it off the smothered it in bbq sauce to hide what they’ve done. Disgrace

Netty. Was. Here. This compact pub packs a hidden punch. Tucked away, you certainly have to have your eyes open to find them. There’s a reason for that. So they can focus on what pubs do best! $15 Lunch Specials, but even better Nightly Dinner Specials. Wednesday night is $14 Snitty night. It was buzzing with activity. All tables had reserved signs. Must call ahead if your pushed for time. I was notified of a wait time which is expected for the turn over. I wanted to enjoy a evening out, so I had a beer whilst a table cleared up. Poked my head around the front bar and gaming room, which are kept immaculately tidy. Food was fantastic, exactly what you would expect. Satisfying portions. After dinner. I was watching Adam preparing a few cocktails. Between $14-16 for a cocktail list that comes together really well. He suggested I try the Salted Caramel Martini and of course my tastebuds were delighted. Great way to cap off a meal. I appreciate the suggestions Adam made. The QR code on the table doesn’t directly link to the menu ~ this can be fixed. Overall a great night out. Well enjoyed. I’ll be coming back. Cheers’

My family and I came for Mother’s Day dinner tonight. Unfortunately they ran out the roasts a few of us had ordered. Nikita went above and beyond for us, to accommodate around these running out. Thank you Nikita for your fantastic service, you made our night great!

My daughter and I walked in on the off chance of getting a table for lunch. The restaurant was fully booked however the amazing staff rearranged furniture to fit us in. The lady taking the food orders was also lovely and accommodating. Winning!

I noticed one disabled parking spot beside the pub but it was impossible to access as a normal park which was occupied, blocked access. I asked the barman if they had anymore and expressed confusion at not being able to access the one I could see. Was informed they no longer offer any disabled parking. Purchased two jugs of soft drink for the kids. Poured a couple and noticed the supplied glasses were dirty. Went to the bar, got new glasses but was not offered new jugs to replace spoilt drinks. With a line up exceeding 20 people the poor girl taking the orders was overwhelmed and was also expected to make cheese breads. One of the cooks had dreadlocks like Repunsal with no hair net. Waited 40 min + for our meals and potatoes must be expensive because a small chips McDonald's would have exceeded the offering from this place. I would give the food 3/10, being generous. In short if your disabled and enjoy a good pub feed, don't go to this place.

Great food, unfortunately we called yesterday and booked a table but when we got there we were unable to find the booking. Lucky we were early enough to get a spare table. Service was quick and I highly recommend the schnitzel with mexican topper

Food and service was average. They have specials on the board but only one was still available. The rest were already sold out... This was around 6pm. So a bit disappointed. Good place though for kids. They have a massive playground so it's a plus.

Came here for dinner with a couple of family members and my toddler. Environment is toddler friendly with a good playground. The food was mediocre though. I ordered a chicken schnitzel with a bacon and avocado topper. The avocado was a pre bought store paste, not fresh and it tasted strange. I asked if it was fresh avocado or a paste and they confirmed it was a store bought paste. If I'm eating at a restaurant Id expect fresh ingredients. Especially something as simple mashed up avocado. But strange tbh. Makes you wonder what other corners they're cutting.

Bistro style lunch. $15 lunch specials. For this price the size portions were unbelievably big. I don't think any of us 4 could finish our whole plate. 2 x chicken snitzels and 2 x chicken caesar burgers. Food was spot on. We will be back, I saw a few things on the menu I would like to try. The lady at the bar serving drinks was a bit busy but really nice to all patrons.

Absolutely a disaster would not recommend this establishment at all, all 5 meals were either cold or not cooked properly. It was birthday and was not enjoyable at all sorry won’t be back.
