"Called in this afternoon, New Year’s Eve, for lunch. The best hamburger with the lot, even beat the Woodenbong one, and the Halloumi on Turkish bread was to die for. Hats off to the chef. It did not end there, awesome, efficient and friendly service. 10 out of 10. This café was hidden away in a corner opposite the Thirsty Camel bottle shop. Do yourself a favour, check out this café and enjoy some yummy food."

"This would have to be the best Burger with the Lot we've had since leaving Redcliffe. The young lass that served me was so professional and done a great job by herself. 100% will be coming back."
