5 Star Review by issac smith
Only place around with live music that stays open past 8, the bar staff are absolute legends, the feed is awesome and it has a proper country pub atmosphere. Came on Tuesday which was T-bone Tuesday cant go past a massive T-bone, chips and salad for $25. They were also serving cocktails for tipsy Tuesday.

We visited Steampacket last night for dinner and we had such an awesome experience. The food was amazing (think traditional pub food with the best taste EVER), the staff were lovely (especially the lady on the front bar), and there was even things for the kids to do (puzzles, colouring pencils and a book). We will definitely be back on our next holiday! Also - there was a baby change table in both the womens AND mens toilets!! So amazing!!

Was so looking forward to a great parmie from this pub but it was underwhelming. On what was a quiet Thursday night it took 40min to have the dry and overcooked parmie delivered. Served on a bed of fries with a very basic accompanying salad bowl its presentation was like a kids meal and not what you'll receive at Moruya or Braidwood's similar hotels which have amazing parmies in comparison. Very disappointing. The chef needs to visit the Adelaide Hotel Moruya to see how a great parmie is done. Although the food was ordinary the staff were pleasant.

Had pizzas here a few years back and they were amazing. So naturally we encouraged a large group of our friends to order pizzas with us over the Anzac wknd whilst all camping together. It was the worst experience. The pizzas were very undercooked and ridiculously basic. We called up to voice our experience and the man that took our call was rude and arrogant, claiming that theres nothing wrong with their pizzas. Last time well go there. What an awful place run by awful people.
