Maitland City Bowls, Sports & Rec Club reviews
5 Star Review by Natalie Spinks
The place has been renovated to a beautiful stylish looking club, its beauitful, the food was amazing -the photos don't do justice. Meals were ready in a timely manner, kids meals had a great variety, kids room is updated and fun for most toddlers and above in age, I believe it should be more light in that room though but stil nice.
5 Star Review by Rachel Fuller
Food was great and staff were friendly. We had the pesto pasta and the Thai beef salad; plenty of flavour in both dishes!

4 Star Review by Odd1 Out
Nice and clean with friendly staff. Although the poker machine attendants that clean the machines over keep using the same cloth so really just spreading any germs off one machine yo another. But if this doesn't worry you great place to eat, catch up with friends/ family. The atmosphere is relaxed.

2 Star Review by General 82
Pros- This club presents really well. Upon entrance you really feel like you're walking into a quality venue. The interior also looks great, it's modern and fresh and delivers a lot of promise. The kids play room is great for a club like this. Double layer play pad, you're kids wont get bored as there are always a bunch of kids bouncing around in there. Cons- The food is terrible. I've had snitzel parma and a thai beef salad and bother dishes were tasteless and a struggle to get through. Both times I've been here I've been with a large group and no one were happy with their meals. I don't want to bag the staff out completely. There were people there that were friendly and professional, but there were enough staff with negative attitudes that it was noticeable and took away from the experience. Rutherford isn't a great location and I don't mean to be judgmental, but when some parents are chastising kids that aren't their own in an aggressive manner, it makes you not want to come back. Overall- This club offers a lot of potential, but doing up the interior isn't going to fix the problems. I recommend hiring a new chef that is dedicated to providing quality over a safe profit. I also recommend hiring a security guard to deter the riff raff. Won't recommend to a friend. Won't go back any time soon!
