4 Star Review by Tracy W

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Ettalong Diggers Bistro last night. Wed special, chicken parmigiana with chips and salad $16 great member price. The service was friendly and efficient, and the parma was tender, hot and juicy, such generous portions. We'll be back .....

5 Star Review by Blender Vendor

Overall the place is great. The food is exceptional and the drinks I can easily give the drinks tge sane compliments. You will not believe how many places mess up vanilla milkshakes, but This place does them exceptionally. The atmosphere is nice but being a diggers its fairly noisy and gets rather busy. Lots of kids there as well. The food and drink make up for it however. I really enjoyed it. It's a great place to meet with friends or family for dinner. There is also play equipment and arcade games. It's interesting they have two separate restaurants within the restaurant Itself but that's also a standard with diggers venues.

4 Star Review by Aaron Raikes

We came for dinner on Easter Sunday. The venue was busy with hundreds of families all out for dinner also. The bar staff all seemed new and a bit nervous to be working without their training buddy next to them. The menu is mostly pub classics. We ordered a garlic bread, fattoush salad & a Sunday Pork Roast. The food was nice, and for the price you pay, I dont think you could complain, the meals were well proportioned and came out within 15 minutes of ordering.

4 Star Review by Mark T

Good food and a nice large outdoor undercover patio to enjoy a meal. Some seats have a glimpse of waterview. Service in both bar and bistro is good. Bistro, order at counter and meals delivered to table. Prices are reasonable both food and bar. Worth a visit for sure.
