Knox Tavern

NOT somewhere to take children! The service was the worst I’ve ever experienced, I had to wait 30-45 minutes for my food and when I went up to ask about this I received a very rude and blunt response. All the waiters, especially one which I assume is the owner was extremely rude to my whole table, constantly giving us death stares as they walked past and not a single polite exchange occurred. The food was below average quality as well, I received a bland dry chicken in a dry burger in which the only other ingredient was a gross coleslaw (why? At least some cheese?) the children with my family were treated very poorly, with one being told off by the staff and another being trampled by the staff with NO APOLOGY (1 year old!). Never coming back. Horrible experience.

This place is dreadful. Never coming back. Food is cold, and not cooked properly. Service is so RUDE and disgusting, should never speak to a customer that way. Would not recommend. Food came 45+ minutes late aswell, and still waiting. Edit- The bistro was practically empty, my baby cousin was knocked over TWICE by waitresses and didn’t apologise either. Was concerned about the quality of food aswell as a hair was found in my meal and as i complained to the manager nothing was done about it either. 0/10.

Linda the bistro mgr is hopeless. We have on 3 occasions arrived before service & requested a certain table. Linda never writes it in the book or puts a reserve sign on the table. 3 occasions others have been seated at the table requested & she is full of excuses blaming the staff

Customer service was excellent. Highly recommend. Only gripe too many of those slot machines.

Don't get the Thai salad, dreadful. The flavour was nice but the meat was tough as an old boot.

Food was ok. Staff where nice enough. It's nothing to write home about for basically a pokies venue

Had a nice meal of Caesar Salad (seniors version $16), and it was tasty and filling and had all the components of an excellent Caesar. Ate it all and loved it.

So, food was amazing, most of the service was good apart from the one bartender fella with glasses that worked tonight who’s star sign is a Pisces! He was very rude, very unapproachable and not easy to speak to. Quite literally, everyone else was much nicer and approachable, the other bartender, the security guard are all kind however he was very much the one that brought down the atmosphere with his sour persona. Disappointing with him on your team but everyone else fantastic.

Ive been a customer at Knox Tavern for well over twenty years and have always been content. Last night I dined 31st Oct 2022 in your bistro and ordered Chicken and Avocado Scallopine. The Avocado was minimal and the cream sauce was I believe left in the kitchen. The broccolini was cold also. Im not one for complaining but as Ive been a chef for over 50 years I want you to be aware of your food and the lacking of its main ingredients.

First time at knox tavern for my grandson 16th, delicious food and service, but my son found the place stressing as there was a lot of guests who made it quite difficult to hear the conversation on our table. My son had to leave and was not able to eat his meal, which was refunded. Just wanted to say thank you for the understanding.

Rude service

Won't be back

Fine pub fare and prices. Nice large dining area good for large parties. Handy kids playground for the little ones.

Food was delicious, took a little longer to come out then would have liked but it was a busy lunch time,

A seniors must-go.
Service (Paige) was excellent, menu was pleasantly simple and a sensible range of choices. The food quality, presentation, prices and portions were spot on and the wait time was negligible.
Will definitely go again soon. Thank you.

The food was nice we all enjoyed it, except the nugget meat was the cheapest chicken flavoured bleached pink slime, I was uncomfortable feeding it to my kids so please improve on the quality of that. The desserts weren’t comparable sizes so the chocolate pudding was tiny and not worth the price tag. The amenities are good and there is good entertainment for the kids, but the playground is wet inside, needs to be sealed from the rain.

Chicken nugget quality - 1/5: May contain traces of chicken.

This venue is 'ok'.
I'm sure a lot of locals swear by it, but for me, it's a bit 'meh'. Nothing sets it apart from any other large poker venue/sports-loving pub. Menu is standard and includes the word 'Supreme', coined in the 70's to wow the masses.
Me not wowed.

A group of us (7) attended on Monday 1 August for lunch. The venue was very nice, and the young staff were very polite and tried to be helpful. The manager however was extremely rude. The food was very average. We will not be attending there again.

It is difficult to locate, meaning signage not easily visible from roadway. The service was good and expedient. However, the after effects were not good.

Meals last night were absolutely dreadful, the bruschetta bread wasn’t toasted, the chicken risotto and chicken satay were bland, tasteless and looked awful, the so called roti bread wasn’t roti bread, more like cardboard?
Manager removed our half eaten meals from the table and never so much as offered us a coffee?

Reasonably priced meals, particularly for seniors. Generous serving sizes, although seniors discounted meals are smaller. The quality of the food varies. For example the soups can be quite watery and flavourless but their roast of the day is usually quite good.
