I went in on a Sunday for lunch and the Angus Beef Burger is $21. This is a very tasty burger, just simple with lettuce, tomato, a slice of cheese and a nice juicy beef patty. One of the best burgers I have had for awhile. They also got a very tasty Fried Chicken Burger $21.

I recently visited in January 2022 and had their tasty Chicken Schnitzel which costs $20. This is a decent feed, with a large chicken breast schnitzel and a large serve of chips. You get a selection of 2 side dishes and a choice of sauce. I had the chips and salad with a pepper sauce which comes in a bowl on the side.
