5 Star Review by Noah Fauser
This place has good and delicious lamb, pork and beef roasts, nice dinner rolls and great complimentary desserts depends; the pavlova and fruit was the best one so far. They have delicious cheesy garlic bread must try, and great and tasty beef schnitzel with a nice garlic sauce, and tasty veggies & salad, having big portions. Good lemon lime bitters too. The beef steak; surf & turf is flavourful & cooked well so delicious. The oysters kilpatrick is tasty its worth it. Inconsistent service sometimes can take a long time to get your food it depends. Comfortable sitting and nice atmosphere, thanks guys. Photos by: jesusbelievers_noah I.G & F.B

The Demo Club is a great place to chill and relax, great food, coffee, always a TV on with sport playing. As a member you also get discounts on food and drinks, definitely worth the visit.

Normally love going to the demo for dinner when I'm in broken hill but this last time it was pretty shocking. My schnitzel was grey and soggy...I couldn't eat it...just thinking about it now is hurting my tummy. Pretty sure I got fome kind of food poisoning from it. I was unwell for days after. Staff were friendly and helpful tho.

Need to update menu from the Demo webpage. Disappointing and frustrating when you cant not order what is planned on the web menu. Waited almost 2 hours for our meal and still waiting.
