i have found that if you order at 645 instead of 7, it usually comes out within 15 minutes.

and the schnitzels are HUGE. i reckon they would be close to a kilo - they look bigger than those ones they had at the casino a while back. i am yet to finish one, and im not usually one for letting a free beer stay away from my belly :D

but yes, the willaston is by far the best value for food.

for 13 bucks, u get parmy (the outback or aussie or something ones are also good), but u also get free soup, salad, veg and dessert bar as well. so ur 13 bucks goes a long long way


Admittedly I've only ordered from the Old Spot twice, but both times were a 30 min or longer wait. I haven't had a meal from them in a while, so things may have changed. Thinking of doing a "World Vision" and not eating all Monday, then trying the challenge. A kilo though... sh*t.

Willaston do have good value for meals - like benny the cunt said, your meal includes a free soup, salad and veg bar (you sure they do dessert too, I thought that was separate?). No salad bar at the Old Spot or Kinger, if I remember correctly.

I am adding this venue to my list as we speak :D


Bar chick, sorry. Her name's Alex, and she's really nice. Usually behind the bar (right next to the tables) every Monday. The other staff are fine too, but Alex is pretty cool.

well, u get soft serve icecream with nuts/sprinkles and topping

still, i like being an 8 year old kid every now and then. normal desserts are extra i think, just like normal entrees.

still wicked value though.

I can tell you, when working at Queens Arms, i always made time to order there meals. Almost all meals are $10.00 for poker nights, and the food really is 5 star. I HIGHLY suggest you try there Chicken strips for $10.00, gets you 4 stamps aswell.

Queens Arms is on Wright Street in the city, and rego is 6:30pm game at 7:30pm.
