Cabbage Tree Hotel reviews
3 Star Review by Aneira WP
Nice place, ample parking but gravel road. Plenty of places to sit from indoor booths and stools to 2 outdoor areas. Nice large menus written clearly and average pricing. The bathrooms clean and hygienic. My review has more to do with the food, looked great on paper, didnt take too long to arrive, averagely priced and when it came out, looked fantastic! But was disappointed with the chicken and steak. The steak and chicken burger patty and chicken wings were over cooked, the chicken dry and hard. The southern burger, tasteless, the chips had no salt or seasoning, nor could we see any, no napkins were provided and we werent told where to find any. The only welcoming and friendly service we received was from a woman behind the counter who said thank you to us as we left.

Absolutely amazing! Our sons 18th was excellent. The kitchen staff, bar staff & security were wonderful, we can't thank you enough for making our sons night perfect. The food was fantastic. Highly recommended and will definitely be back. Thank you all again

Popped in for lunch with my Daughter. We hadn't been there before. The nicest young Lady & guy behind the bar. She showed us around the hotel. Food was sensational. We got the lunch steak special. Beautifully cooked & so inexpensive. The service from the staff was above & beyond. Well definitely be back. Thank you.

Wednesday night at the patch is always good value. 60 wings is too good to miss out on. The whiskey maple sauce tops it off perfectly. The chicken was tender and fell off the bone. Tasty. Can't rate the beer, but the lemon lime and bitters was great. I highly recommend it.

4 Star Review by Thomas Okane
The place had a pleasant vibe, the food was great, the staff were very helpful & kind but don't accidentally leave anything behind or it will be swiped quicker than you can count to 3.

Drinks are a decent price. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. There is a happy hour with half price drinks. Parking is easy, staff are nice. The outdoor area is nice. Great range of drinks, including beer an spirits
