Was recently there for a Birthday get together. I ordered the Flathead with Salad. Yummo! Great, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service. Chips are to die for....flogged some off a mate's plate. Only thing I'd pick, is the amount or lack of, for the price . Maybe lower the price of them or add some more. Otherwise brilliant! Will go back for sure!!!

Best Sweet Potato Fries in Newcastle fight me on it. Popcorn Chicken Tacos are insanely delicious too. Excellent service the whole time as well, quick food too.
Again, Sweet Potato Fries. Get the Sweet Potato Fries.

During a peak rush on a Thursday night they decided to close an entire half of their bar. Not only does this restrict the amount of people they can serve but also forces people within close proximity that is a breach of COVID laws. There was easily 15-20 people within 2 square metres of me. I also had to wait in line for at least 20 minutes just to order.
