I ordered a steak with Béarnaise Sauce. I paid for the sauce accepting that named sauces like Béarnaise, red wine emulsions etc., are a challenge and take a bit of extra time and care. What i got didn't look at all to what I was expecting and didn't IMO taste like Béarnaise. A disappointing twist on a global favourite.

Large clean and comfortable dining room with variety of meals available . Arrived on a busy night meals arrived quickly without any delays. The mixed grill was almost perfect except for the cold chips . The staff were helpful and courteous definitely a standout at such a busy place

Being from interstate, where we don't have league clubs, we were made to feel welcome, and signing in was easy.
An extensive menu with loads of choices.
Went with a pizza. Highly recommend.

Food is not Good gravy is just water I wonder if it a chef cooking chicken is dried out not good food

We were looking forward to a lovely roast dinner after a day on the road so we went with the roast lamb dinner. A good serve of tender lamb came with much appreciated roast pumpkin and potatoes but that's where the good food ended. The plate was awash with water from the COLD Bain Marie soggy carrots, broccoli and beans. Disgusting !
What a shame . The actual surroundings in the club are very pleasant . My advice ? Choose the fish and chips or ANYTHING that doesn't have the awful soggy vegetables!..

Dinners are fantastic, great food, large portions and really tasty. Definitely recommend for dinner.

Breakfast is definitely a hit or miss though. Menu is good but the food was not what we expected.
We'll be back for dinner. Refurb looks great

Incredibly huge portions at a very reasonable cost. Clean and a huge space. Great view of the tree line out back.

Worst experience ever in Australia! Came there for chess tournament. I got food from an outside restaurant and took an orange juice from the Bistro, was having it in the bistro restaurant. After 15 mins one of the staffs came and politely told me that outside food is not allowed due to some food safety act, to which I said 'sorry, I was unaware' and immediately closed my food box, 'packed the box inside the bag'. I went on to finish the juice to which the rudest manager ever came and said very rudely that 'you need to dispose the bag due to safety concerns'. I took the bag and said 'it's inside the bag/cover and inside a box'. She starred and went. I finished my food , went and talked to her. She was the worst manager I have ever encountered in life talking very rudely. I said 'with due respect my suggestion is at least you can have a board saying outside food is not allowed. She said extremely arrogantly 'do you see anyone else bringing the food from outside' to which I had to say 'that's not my job to see if your guests are bringing outside food. I closed my food and packed inside the bag after which it's my private property. Being a manager this is not how you talk to your guests as if we are some untouchables bringing in germs'. I am so surprised you employ such grumpy females as managers who doesn't even have basic mannerisms/etiquette . You can check the cameras- 9 September between 1.30pm-2pm. Oh yeah, when I asked her to check cameras if I have immediately closed the food complying to your staff or not, she said 'I don't have to check cameras lady!!'

I never broke any laws in whole of my stay in Australia as I respect this country and its laws. I politely said sorry to the staff who said outside food not allowed. Extremely disappointed with your restaurant manager's behaviour. She immediately came to argue when I went to talk politely, didn't even have patience to listen. You shouldn't be appointing such personalities if they can't handle work pressure or people and take it out on guests in the name of restaurant policies. I have zero tolerance to disrespect or humiliation. Sorry to say I found her racial too!!

EVERYTHING ELSE IN YOUR CLUB IS WONDERFUL AND WELCOMING. We enjoyed rest of your services.

Have been here a few times before and the meals have always been great but tonight 4/7/23 we were very disappointed. We waited for an hour for our meals to start with and I ordered a steak with mash and vegetables. When I went to collect it, it had vegetables and chips. I am a coeliac and the chips are cooked in the same oil as everything else so I was unable to eat them. My daughter ordered the lamb shank which was supposed to come with mash and vegetables. When we went to collect it it only had chips with it. We understand that they ran out of mash but maybe they should have called us up to explain it so we could have changed what we wanted. I definitely would have changed my order. My husband ordered the brisket which you vote on. It comes with mash and vegetables, he got his mash. Convenient because he voted. It didn't score highly because it was very dry. Really disappointed as we have been so happy in the past. Hopefully it won't be a sign of things to come.

The heating was almost non existent on 16 June. People paid to watch a concert in the upstairs function room and the audience froze! Many very unhappy patrons. The Club can and should do better???"

Dropped in here for an evening feed. Great service. Good food. HUGE servings.

In town for a couple of days and visited for a meal on a Thursday night. Friendly staff and good facilities. We ordered the roast of the day (roast beef). Very generous serving size with great roast vegetables and all at a fair price. We really enjoyed this meal. My favourite beer was also on tap at a good price. Overall, well done.

Great customer service on entry to your club we even had a new card printed as we had mislaid them from a year ago. Lovely meals were enjoyed by all.thank you.kind regards Jenny NSW Highlanders

Always an enjoyable experience. Staff are lovely and the club is always clean and tidy. A nice place to relax and catch up with a friend

The food was really delectable. Unfortunately my Nana's vegetable side was cold, and the meals were small and inadequate for the price that we payed.

Customer service was good. Would come back again if the meals were bigger.

Food was good value, staff are friendly.

Arrived 6pm and checked out the bistro menu, we decided that we would select the roast of the day when we were to order our meal at 6.45pm . Alas the roast of the day at 6.45pm was finished. There were only about 12-14 customers in the bistro and only a couple of those were having the roast. It must have been only a very tiny roast to start with or possibly a leftover piece from Sunday.
I'm sure Armidale can do much better.

Staff were the best in a club that I have experienced in a long time I never give a five star - very close though

Excellent meals. Enter from the rear door during renovations.

Very clean. Friendly staff. Covid safe and the food is pretty good.

A great stop to eat and have a drink and the new hotel will be open soon

Nice place to dine if you have a couple of hours to spare

Attended this club for a Sunday lunch with special friends, very disappointed with quality of meals. Four different meals were ordered, all meals had very dry and tough meat and not pleasant to eat, very disappointing and cannot recommend and will not be returning.

Best Chicken Tikka Masala I've ever had, will definitely go back if in town again.

Mum had the Caesar salad and also loved it.

Prices were cheap too, with friendly staff.

Food is excellent. Easy walking distance from where we stayed at Elite Motor Inn.

Stopped in for dinner. The food was fresh anf will priced. Good to stop at when traveling.

I absolutely love this place. The service is excellent, the food is to die for and they remember your name! You can't ask for more

Food great. Staff great. Clean and COVID safe. Felt most welcome.

Super food...the chef went the extra mile to ensure my meal was one I was able to eat...much appreciated

My company runs their annual Conference for lawyers at this venue. Debbie our main contact is wonderful, cant speak highly of her enough. Location of the venue is excellent and they have renovated and updated quite a lot of areas of the venue.

These are my three time visiting experience:
Chicken Parmigiana????:great flavour & size,reasonable price
Wedges????: great value
Lamb????:average but good sauce
Buger????: great value but a bit dry
Smoothies?????: great value and fresh fruit
Cider:great value
Fish &Mussels??: Mussel has strong forzen taste, fish and sauce were great cook
Enviorment?????:nice, clean and cool aircon, comfortable chairs. For escaping from a hot weather, it is a great place to hang out with friends or even by urslef.
Staff??: Bar side girls are friendly but food side girls kept coming getting plates during the meal and asking with no smile and rush attitude. There wasn't even full table at the time. There was actually pretty quiet. Felt very pushing customer to leave. Three times experience are the same.

A nice modern club. Food is good. I had a mushroom and Brie burger. It wasn't what I expected, but it was enjoyable. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well.
