Bangalow Hotel reviews

5 Star Review by Brenden Wood

This pub has an excellent atmosphere and a wonderful historic charm. The main bar area looks like its been untouched since the World War II. The food here is excellent. There are several places where you can enjoy your food and drinks - on a modern eatery deck, near the side bar or out on the northern terrace. The staff are very friendly.

5 Star Review by Alison Cambridge

Lovely old hotel, situated on main street towards top of hill. Staff were friendly, warm & helpful. Had Bundagerg ginger beer fish & chips, sorry to say fish wasn't the best, however was eatable. Accompanying salad was nice, needed some more orange & walnuts. Chips were great.

3 Star Review by Malcolm Clements

Called in for lunch but hardly impressed. I ordered the expensive burger expecting the mouth watering promise. They missed by a mile. The bun was dry and stale and the cooks used way to much sauce. Result was a crumbling mess. It's the second poor meal I've had here. On the upside the beer was cold.

1 Star Review by Skill Weaver

Undercooked chicken Maryland, worst $40 steak I have ever had, awful flavour, fatty, sinewy and gamy! If I hadnt been so hungry, I wouldve sent it back. This place was amazing when it was Frescas but has progressively gone downhill since they changed hands. No wonder the place is half empty in what is supposed to be the busiest night of the year after the Bangalow show. I will never be back until I hear that the place is under new management. What a shame. This is supposed to be in my local!

2 Star Review by Julie Casey

We have been going to the Bangalow Pub for over 30 years and never had service as bad as yesterday. I found the restaurant waiter extremely rude. We waited over 1 1/2 hours for our food. Friends had ordered 15 mins after us & had eaten & finished a long time before we got our meals. When I went to ask if the meals were on there way the waiter just said your in the que 2nd time itll be a couple of minutes Not once did I get an apology for the delay & when I brought it to his attention how rude he was he just argued at me, with no apology at all. He was extremely rude abrupt and aweful. The man in the bar was not much better. He had very negative attitude with rude remarks to both my husband & a friend. I think the waiter needs training in customer service skills & that you dont argue back with a client, as all I would have wanted was a simple apology for the wait. Very disappointing.
