Simple with excellent food. Great new place (well it must have been here now for at least 6…read moremonths), casual and friendly. They usually don't take reservations, but with three seating areas, including an outside courtyard, there is a lot more space than it initially looks like. Their burgers are amazing, they all come with a small portion of fries. My friends love the pulled pork, but the fish tacos are my personal favourite. They also have some nice sharing platters! The only disappointment were the Harissa balls, which were very very dry. Mulled wine in winter, cider and beer in summer for us. Definitely my new regular for my Brisbane trips.

I'm not really sure why I tend to walk a long way out of my way simply to visit a pub, but I do,…read moreand this is one of those pubs that I ended up visiting. Unfortunately my long hike wasn't rewarded with anything all that fantastic. It was basically your standard everyday pub with pokies machines, a sports bar, and a bistro - two if you include the beer garden. However it was here that the staff explained the really tough smoking laws in relation to pubs and clubs, and in fact if people complain about the smoke they have to put more work into separating the eating areas from the smoking areas. The staff were pretty decent, but they did have a decent selection of craft beers on tap (as well as the old favourites - or at least the old favourites for those who don't like craft beer).

Decent Pub. I only happened upon the Shafston by chance, or rather by proximity. I wanted beer,…read morethey were there. Of an afternoon I was killing some time with a cold XXXX Gold, and before too long the front bar regulars had engaged me in colourful, enthusiastic conversation. This is just one of the cool features that make this pub one of the many great classic Australian pubs. The interior is pretty standard, bars, beer garden. Decent happy hours and good deals on meals keep everyone happy, as do the friendly staff. The Shafston really is a worthwhile pub.

Tucked away between a KFC and a Red Rooster sits an old survivor from the 1980s and 90s. It's…read moreBrisbane's only remaining DINE IN Pizza Hut restaurant! With the all-you-can-eat pizza and pasta bars, salad bar, and desert bar! At night, the Pizza Hut sign is not lit up, so it's easy to miss in the dark. But it's there! Just drive in to the KFC/Red Rooster complex and the Pizza Hut is right in the middle. And it's packed! People in the know fill the establishment for nostalgic reasons. The only downside is, the staff aren't very helpful. Nobody really explains anything to you. Unlike Sizzler, whose staff always ask, "Have you been to Sizzler before, and do you know how it works?", Pizza Hut Browns Plains staff leave you to your own devices. Don't bother waiting to be seated, as they just give you a strange look. Just grab any table you like and serve yourself. Also, it would seem that you can no longer order a set meal up front. It's simply all you can eat. You just rock up, help yourself, and then you go to the counter at the end and pay for "all you can eat". Ordering drinks is tricky, though. They don't have "all you can drink" self serve soft drink dispenser (like Sizzler do). So you do have to try to get the attention of someone in the kitchen to ask for a jug of Pepsi, or a beer (it's licensed). And, after waiting 10 minutes for the drink/s to arrive at your table, you might have to get up and remind them a second time. Recommended purely for the nostalgia of eating in a dine-in Pizza Hut restaurant, but only for a special treat once in a while. Not somewhere you'd want to go every week.

They had a huge TV screen showing the rugby in the back lounge which was a big hit with the group. The atmosphere of the place was cool and eclectic with its exposed Brick and wooden floors. I loved it The show stopper however was the food. We thought we would just order a few starters and then order mains later. Well, let me tell you... We did not need mains!!! The starters were huge and so tasty. The sweet potato fries were delicious. The nachos and smokey delight and the buffalo wings the piece de resistance.

Breakfast is offered all day with a great range of cooked brekkie through to muesli, and their sandwiches are exceptional. A regular sandwich costs around $13 but they are ample and they are filling. The chicken in particular was very tender and very satisfying! Oh, and did I mention the coffee? I ordered a flat white which, some places I find like to water down a bit. Not only was my flat white strong and smooth, but it also smelt amazing and was just what I needed after some exhausting shopping. I went with two friends and we found it to be charming and a very relaxed atmosphere. The walls feature posters for gigs and events around Brisbane and add a bit of an indie vibe to the place. They're fairly busy but the staff were friendly and helpful. They also have high chairs for little kiddies if you want to bring them along.

The bright interior decorations, food, location and service are all 5-star worthy here. I generally like to come here for a late breakfast/ brunch or after a shopping session at the Antique centre. Even when they are very busy, the service is generally quite speedy. I will usually order a milkshake here because I just love they way they make them here! I don't know what it is they put in them (maybe it is the ice cream) that makes them so Tasty but I can't get enough of them. There will usually be a "Breakfast Special" available which will set you back roughly $10, not bad value if you ask me. The breakfast meals are really well cooked and are pretty generous serves. Overall, I have been very pleased with my experience at Java lounge. It always offer good breakfast food, milkshakes, service and has a great vibe to it.

I was keen to see if Melin measured up though and I have to say, they delivered. Melin is a Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant. They have a huge selection on the menu.

The menu is split into Vietnamese and Chinese with lots of seafood options, healthy salads, and vegetarian dishes plus all the usually favourites like honey chicken and sweet and sour pork. Meals are cooked fresh with 100% pure vegetable and olive oil.
