This is a great restaurant, and the food is very good. It has an Australian flair. This time I had an Australian Burger and my wife had a Traditional Burger with mayonnaise. Out friends had a Traditional Burger and baked chicken. The food is always good.

You have to stop here! The owner Mick is enjoyable to converse with and his Australian accent still comes thru after 18 years. I had the Shrimp and Barbie with sweet potato fries. The fries came with a cinnamon yogurt sauce that was delicious. My friend had the same but with tater tots and they were the best tater tots we have ever had! Very crunchy! My husband had the vegetarian Philly sandwich which was on a pretzel roll and delicious. There is awesome outside area with a playground for kids. The bathroom is down a hallway that begins to seem long. One single toilet bathroom, shared. The tile floor past the bar is kind of slippery so be prepared. You should definitely stop in. Prices are very reasonable as well. The bill for myself and my husband was right at 25 for lunch.

Had a nice lunch while I'm the area as part of my quest to visit all 100 NC counties. My server was great, and I enjoyed my shrimp taco and onion rings. The onion rings could be a little crispier, but that's a personal preference. I ate inside but there is a lot of outside area to hang out in. If it had traveled well, I would have loved to get a pavlova to try, but no fridge in my car Plenty of public parking nearby and nice shops to browse.

All I have is WOW! Little hidden gem... A friend told us about this spot knowing my love for food and wings and how specific I am (to put it nicely) about them!! We decided to give it a try... Atmosphere was great, not too crowded or loud... Our waitress was sweet, personable, knowledgeable, and helpful!! Couldn’t have had a more perfect dinner out. We don’t go out to dinner much because of how “specific” I am and I am usually always disappointed!! Very seldom do I come across such greatness in a restaurant, enough so-we shall return and continue the spread of the word!! I ate things I never did like or could eat... their homemade queso was on point! The hot buffalo and barbecue wings were fantastic! The crinkle cut fries were just the right amount of crispy to soft ratio... Let’s not get me started in on the trash can nachos-which I mainly ordered for the name!!!! The sodas were well carbonated!! Only disappointment was there were no shirts to be purchased!! I love me a good tee to wear to show my support of an establishment- maybe next time!!

The food was excellent, as always. Burgers were really tasty. The onion rings and sweet potato fries were delicious, too. If I have to say anything was less than perfect, the lack of a knife to aid in eating my bun less burger would have been nice.

Came by with my family to celebrate my birthday. Such a great experience! Food only took 20 minutes and you could tell it was made fresh with love. We had steaks and burgers that were perfectly cooked, hot, and juicy. Also had chicken tenders that were so crispy and flavorful. The pub chips (made in house!) and mozzarella sticks we had complimented the food so well. Not to mention our server was so lively and helpful. Loved it all! Can’t recommend this restaurant enough! Will definitely be back!

The waitress was friendly, sweet, didn't take long to check out. The atmosphere is really cool. Very rustic looks like it could be family during the day and maybe our younger people's place at night

Stopped by this restaurant on our way to walk the Greenway with our 4-legged children. We were hoping for outdoor seating, and we're delighted to find a huge outdoor area that was fenced in for our pets to enjoy off the leash! The area was completely secure and provided a couple of shady spots with several corn hole areas and a large multistory playground for kids. The food was excellent as well.
