The Cheeky Squire reviews
62Great beer, place and atmosphere. The bad, couldn't order a pot, had to be a schooner, doesn't promote responsible drinking or the option of trying the variety of beers. No physical menu, had to order using a phone and pay fees for electronic payment.
This restaurant could be so much better. The music is very loud, the food is quite dry yet expensive, wait time is ridiculous- however I don’t blame the staff/chefs for this at all. The restaurant is super understaffed for such a large venue and the staff that are on look overworked and stressed. It doesn’t really make sense how a restaurant so big, expensive and busy would not pay a few more employees to work. The service would be much more enjoyable and the venue would have improved functionality with more staff so I believe this falls in the hands of the managers/owner.
I’ve read a few of the previous reviews and it’s all quite similar yet obviously no action taken.
This was my favourite restaurant until they removed all table service and replaced it with barcodes and phone scanning service. Including booking, menus, ordering and paying - which means you can no longer request things to come out at different times or ask about any of the meals. Strangely despite having virtually zero staff interaction it still asks for a tip every time you order.
Still nice food, beer and people if you envision your night out as a group of people on their phones.
Great location. Staff were friendly. However, ordering through the ap gives absolutely no flexibility with your order. No add ons or variations. To offer ‘pizza only’ at particular times, you’d think they’d, at least, make it good. Store bought base.very light on the toppings.very greasy at gourmet prices.
Food & drinks were lovely, however service was terrible. Watched our drinks sit at the bar for over 15 minutes.
Terrible food and the new order system absolutely wrong.frozen pizza from a supermarket for 20 plus dollars.so expensive for the quality of the food served. Horrendous experience. Never again
Good but touch expensive, weird way of ordering, like you have to order through ur phone n tap card on the sensor device placed on table. If you not cool with tech, u probably won't like it
Very impersonal setting with overpriced ordinary food. Staff were not very friendly (that’s when you actually saw them to communicate with)
Food was good, prices were OK. Our Waitress Miriam looked after us with great service as did the rest of the staff.
Food nice, good location. But for a pub the drinks were priced sky high. Not going to be a regular visit for us.
Our food arrived very late firstly and we had to ask the staff for an update. They bought the wrong older it was horribly cold and absolutely disgusting. Then I spoke to the staff they were absolutely disrespectful and did not give me a refund for food I should not have had to pay for. It was late and cold. I will never come here again due to the poor quality service and tasteless food.
Great value in great location on the beach. Nice clean rooms. Friendly staff. Good restaurant and bar with great atmosphere.
Didn't like the scan and pay system on your mobile can't we have normal customer service like it was before covid.
Food is cheap, but isn't great.
Calamari was Salty
Saganaki was nothing like true saganaki.
Schnitzel was dry.
Ordered a drink without ice, definitely had ice.
Overall not bad, there's definitely room for improvement.
The staff were rude and non helpful the order system is horrible and slower than Uber eats. The Parma was a reheat and burnt all 3. Staff did not know what table had ordered. And a second drink I could not be bothered ordering as we were told this is only method of service will never recommend in any fashion
Dry Salmon in Fish Tacos, overcooked bread for Cheese Dip. Just horrible food in general.
The only saviour was the beer but even then, $75 is worth a slab
Tried to go for a nice meal but left disappointed. Not our first visit to this establishment but might be out last unfortunately. Booked a table for 2 and we were shoved outside next to the smoking booth and next to 3 seperate groups of people just drinking. Ordered our meals and drinks via the app then asked to be moved inside which the lovely staff were able to accommodate. Meals were nice but my wife’s drink took almost an hour and 2 Enquiries as to where it was to turn up to our table.
Not sure if it’s a nightclub or a restaurant.
I think management is stuck with the decision with what to make of it. But having groups of people drinking and dancing while there are other groups trying to eat seems a bit off. Especially at 7: 30pm.
Food was average. The southern burger was nice.
Service was ok.
Do not get the pizza, it's just a frozen base. Aldi do a better pizza. For what you pay I was not happy at all! And they still charged me even after my feedback which was kindly done and I only ate a few bites.
I won't be returning.
If you haven't tried the alcoholic ginger beer here, do yourself a favor and order one, or 5!
all the new little breweries popping up all over the place take note:
not all girls like beer,
not all boys like cider,
everyone loves a great ginger beer, even if you don't like ginger!
We have just had dinner for 3 adults.
DO Not waste your money. Cold food & for over $150 it’s wasn’t worth a cent.
They weren’t even busy, so it’s no excuse. The venue was also dirty and very loud
