Highways

We went to dinner on Tuesday night in the Irish bar. The bar was closed, we had to order in the bistro. The lighting in that bar need to be looked at, you cant even see the food it is so dark in there. We got our garlic bread and our mains and waited a hour for our dessert. There was 2 people in the bistro. NOT GOING BACK. It use to be a great place to go for dinner, but not now.

Order a fish and chips, wait for one hour and food is not coming, finally we change it to takeaway.speechless, never come back again，

I HAVE BEEN WAITING 1 HOUR 30 FOR MY FOOD AND STILL HAVENT GOTTEN IT! ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL. I TRIED ASKING SOMEONE FOR INFORMATION AND SHE JUST WALKED PASSED ME! HORRIBLE SERVICE

Good food, but the service was amazing.
The two waiters were friends helpful. Thank you.

We are very impressed with the service we got from Chloe M. She is very capable and exceptional. Thank you Chloe M.

Bad service where the pokies are especially at night most people reserving more than two machines at a time staff don't care bad service

Went in for lunch. It was 12.25. The gates to the dining area were closed. A few staff members were standing around chatting and when I asked for a table was promptly told the Bistro was closed for lunch! A Bistro that closes so staff can have lunch? Never again. Emailed management at the time still awaiting reply. This was 3 months ago.

Veal scaloponi was inedible. Was not cooked properly friend and I ordered the same meal and couldn't eat the meat Mash / veggies and mushroom sauce was the only thing we where able to eat.
Disappointed for the price we paid

Service and food great. Facilities in pretty good shape. Kids play area needs fresh air, has an unappealing odour.

Been happily coming here for years but will never return. Went to order 5 meals to be told they had no chicken schnitzel so we changed to parmas. Then told they had no chicken. We decided to leave and go somewhere else. We were then told they had misunderstood and they do have chicken. Ordered meals with chips and veg instead of chips and salad which we have always done here and every other pub we've been to with no issue. This time they were going to charge 1.50 extra per person to swap salad for veg and this on top on their already expensive prices. The playroom was also a huge disappointment. The climbing equipment was still there but the interactive TV and all toys have been taken out and replaced with arcade games that you have to pay for so gambling for kids. Walked in on a Thursday night at 6.30 to find only one family there which should have rung alarm bells from the start. We left and went to another close by pub in Springvale and had a great meal with salad swapped for veggies at no extra cost and each meal was cheaper than Highways and with a great playground.

We did not enjoy our date night here.
We came here after our initial reservation at another venue got cancelled on short notice and after being turned away at another 3 places this was our last option before calling it quits and getting fast food.
We arrived around 7.30pm, I called before we arrived to make sure the kitchen was still open which it was until 8.30pm thankfully. Upon arrival we waited around for a good 5 minutes before an employee emerged. The place only had 2 tables occupied.
I must say the lady that assisted us was very nice throughout our whole stay, she was probably the best part about our visit. We ordered 2 medium rare steaks one with mash and gravy and one with garlic prawns and chips, cheeseburger springrolls and a beer for $115.
The springrolls were super delicious and arrived soonishafter ordering. To be honest we waited longer than expected for our main course considering at this point there was only one other person in the dining hall. I think we waited around 25 mins. Finally the food came but there quickly was another issue. Both mine and my partners steak was literally raw. Not even rare, nowhere near medium rare just plain raw in the middle with only a sear on the outside. We could not eat it at all. We always order our steaks medium rare but this was the most undercooked we had ever received, my partners steak was also cold in the middle.
We asked the lady if the kitchen could cook it a bit more and she took our meals away. When she came back the kitchen had actually also refilled our mash/chips and our sauces in addition to cooking it more. We really appreciated that a lot and were grateful for that. The steak now was much better and we dug in as we were starving at this point. My Gravy was delicious but I think the portion of mash was tiny, it was like half the size of the amount of chips that my partner had. Steak wasnt bad but tasted mostly like charcoal. By the time we actually ate it was 8.30pm already. We intended to get desert after but kitchen was already closed by now obviously.
While eating I actually noticed pieces of PLASTIC in my mouth that was in the mash. I thought no way, maybe it was a potato skin but no it was an actual piece of plastic, I thoroughly inspected it.
After we finished we ended up taking our empty plates up to the bar and I wanted to point out the plastic that I found, but the 2 employees were too involved in a conversation with each other and did not notice us standing there so we just left.
Our night was honestly ruined. We haven't had a date night in a long time and in the end we thoroughly regretted coming here and wasting over $100. We even got some maccas on the way home because we were still left hungry after our Highway experience.
We will not return.

Was there for a wake in the function, the service was brilliant and food was excellent. The pies, sausage rolls, meatballs and chicken skewers were very yummy and so good to eat.
Thank you so much for a wonderful venue.

Bistro back open at last! Thank you, amazing to be back. Kids were thrilled they can go in play area again!

Great gluten free range but lately every dish is grossly under filled. When you order multiple serves of sweet potato, chips or greens, they split 1 portion between 2! It’s a joke really when you’re already paying a premium! They repeatedly forget to include sauces that come with dishes & take no care when packaging food. They were great a year ago.but since November 2021 it’s just gone drastically downhill. So disappointing & just can’t be bothered dealing with it anymore. So many other options out there.

The food was cold and we live 3 minutes away. Meat quality was very bad. Won't order again.

Food is good, staff are friendly. Great use of the function room for Lions Club meetings and events

Great if you have kids. They are everywhere and running around everywhere.
Please keep an eye on the in the play ground. They can get hurt.

Other wise so very very noisy. Food is ok.i did enjoy the fish and chips.

Not too sure. 40 minutes later and they'd lost my order. Hope its good when and if it gets here. Went back tonight, staff still cleared away full drinks and at requests for a free refill which was granted, this multi culturally run stew Pot refused me service for no other reason than pointing out their severe drink strealing drinks policy and complete lack of hospitality ethics but then again it would be great service if it were in Bombay. Shame. Last time ever! 20/2/21 Peyed FitzGerald

New chef and new menu at Highways. Reasonable prices and food is great. Quiet a variety of meals and nice range of cakes to finish off a dinner.

6 of us had tea here and was not the best food and over price and they could not get your coffee order right 3 times and the staff are friendly and young.
