The Showground Tavern Reviews
What a surprise! Got my car cleaned up the street and thought i'd walk down for a couple cold ones. Well, I think I found the cleanest pub in western Sydney!
Deano hooked me up with ice cold beers while I watched UFC. Time went by and I got hungry so I ordered the Sunday special schitty $16. Bloody awesome!
Clean, awesome staff, food and beers. I'll be getting my car cleaned every week from now on just to swing by the The Showground Tavern!! Thanks again Deano!

Went here for lunch, the staff were friendly and helpful. Portion sizes were good, and the chips were crunchy (I have been to some other pubs where they have been more on the soggy side). Of writing, they are still renovating so cannot comment too much on ambiance but the value for money was a big plus.
I went with someone with an allergy and the staff were helpful to assist in getting him something he could eat. However, they did accidentally give him a milk bun on a burger which was quickly fixed after asking about it.

This was the first time I had patronised Adam's Tavern even though it's not far from my home. It was established in 1993 and the building is modern with the usual betting machines and TV screens dominating the interior. However, the service was excellent, the Goat beer was a brew I hadn't tried before but enjoyed and the $10 chicken schnitzel with chips and salad was really good and great value for money.

The tavern is great, but what was a let down was the customer service. I’ve been to many pubs, taverns and RSL clubs but my experience was so bad that I had to review it. Firstly, staff jump at you demanding that you check into their venue (which I don’t mind) they need to place their check in at a visible location that patrons can see and locate, not behind the walI right next to the door. Secondly, staff are rude and unfriendly, I would recommend you take caution when approaching them. I would not recommend this establishment to any visitor, locals or family’s, this (in my words) would not be suitable for a catch up with friends or family, I would recommend that you travel to the LALOR PARK HOTEL, which isn’t far from Adam’s. The staff are amazing and the venue is much bigger with a fantastic atmosphere. Their slot machine room is medium sized but definitely much better than Adam’s.Why spend your money at a venue that it’s staff are rude and careless.

One of the bests steaks I have ever had. Easily the best "pub steak". Prices are decent and the atmosphere is really good. Pool table outside and a large sports bar section.

My experience with the bar staff food was pretty pleasant. I came a bit before 4:00pm as the chef/cook was on break, so I put forward my order with the staff. The pulled pork burger had some great flavours, although the bun was quite hard and solid. Definitely enjoyed the cheesy garlic bread and my time here.

My dad told me to search ‘best steak pub’ and this came up. It was the best I ever had. I loved the fresh chips and the salad dressing.

Looked for somewhere to have lunch close to Blacktown showground, so came here. PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!! Schnitzel was AMAZING. Thick with nice Panko crumbs. Crispy thick chips. Really nice mustardy dressing on salad. Peppercorn sauce was the GOAT. Service by Deano was second to none- he’s been here 16yrs! Funny, courteous & friendly!!!

Its one of the best pub/ tavern I have been to. The most friendly staff and management, clean, good food, drama free and very family oriented environment. Perfect place to be when quenching a thirst or craving a decent meal. Love the place.

Hidden Gem!
We were at the nearby playground with a couple of families and decided to try Adam's Tavern for out lunch. We were so pleasantly surprised. Genuinely friendly staff, excellent value, delicious food, family friendly. A lovely outdoor area with pool table. I had the barramundi and it was honestly restaurant-quality excellent. There aren't many vegetarian options on the menu, but the cook happily whipped up a fresh delicious vegetarian pasta for my husband on the spot. We'll be back next time we're in Blacktown :-)

Great Tavern with many exciting dishes and drinks.
You have the option of seating inside and also outside (smoking area).
Dishes I had:
Bacon deluxe parmigiana:
Schnitzel is tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Love the crispy bacon and perfectly melted mozzarella cheese. The ranch sauce is awesome. It’s a must try dish if you visit them.
Adams surf and turf:
You have several choices of meat and I chose t-bone. It was great. The sauce was delish and the prawns were awesome.
Fries and salad served with both dishes are pretty good too.

Absolutely the best parmy we've ever had.. it was huge and thick and succulent. Vegas were flavoursome unlike a lot of pubs. Will be back while in the area. Great priced beer too.
