As the first review, I will rate 4 instead of 3. Works…read moreburger is the burger with everything. I order bacon burger. Bun is average. Beef is a bit too dried. I like beetroot, sauce and fried onion. Be careful with chips! For medium size chips, you get four times bigger than large chips at McDonald. Small chips = two times bigger. So order the size wisely. Anyway their chips are great. Better than burger. One last thing, you will have to wait for up to 15 mins for your burger and chips.

We had the chicken wings -don't if you like chicken wings…read more They are not oven or bbq cooked in sauce but dry deep fried to the point where the skin fused to the meat (the inside meat was okay). The outside was also extremely salty. The wings came with a choice of two sauces in pots, both of which tasted like they came from a Woolies home brand bottle. Despite how dry the exterior of the wings were adding the sauce was counter productive.

A nice spot for a mid week birthday lunch in the Hunter Valley. I have been once before a few years…read moreago and the first thing I noticed was the parking. It has been upgraded to sealed surface rather than bumpy dirt. With a 1 week old new car it was a welcome sight. The wait for drinks and food after ordering was lengthier than expected given it was not busy. My husband ordered a beer paddle and basil fettuccine. A little more chorizo and less focus on the toppings would be nice but he enjoyed it anyway. The dumpling entree special was.... different. The filling was a bit dry and the texture was unusual. The chilli dipping sauce was not what we expected either. I can't really put my finger on what the flavour was. It was just lacking. In comparison to chilli oil that most people would be accustomed to that packs a massive flavour hit. My chicken supreme was delicious. I loved the vibrant colour from the carrot purée. The chicken was moist and the potatoes crisp.

It was scorching outside, so my partner and I retreated in here to refuel ourselves with a cold…read moredrink. The first thing you'll notice is that the walls are covered with... stuff. Silly signs, clocks and cute things which I assume can all be bought. The place felt a bit tight, and we were the only ones (besides the staff) who were inside. The staff were very friendly and were glad to have us, even if we ordered just drinks. One spider (cola and vanilla ice cream) and a chocolate thick shake, and when they say thick shake they mean it. It was glorious, like cold chocolate concrete. The open kitchen had an amazing aroma to it, the smell of beef and bacon and toast. It made us wish we weren't full from an earlier meal. Once your done eating/drinking you can look around for some fun to buy. I have a feeling that this place would be great for children.

Inside the tables are very oldschool and rustic, but everyone always sits outside because after all, it is the Hunter Valley... and the scenery is just breathtaking. Never leave this place without trying the Drover Burger, a burger they are famous for. With a huge patty and special Mayo... sure it drips, but it's delicious. They have Beetroot Chutney and other yummy ingredients all tasting fresh and the wait is not too long when busy either. They lovely ladies at the counter are so friendly, and it is super kid friendly with colouring pencils and paper for the kids to keep busy. Always a fan, and I will return here... for about $16 the burgers are totally worth it. (There are no fries/chips on the menu though... I guess that's a good thing)

Stopped here for lunch after visiting both the aqua golf and putt putt while wandering the gardens…read more A fairly nice restaurant with lots of outdoor seating, and very casual. Order at the counter and they bring it out to you. Looking at the menu there was a few thing to choose from. I chose something a bit more traditional and got the beef (added bacon) burger. The chips were quite nice and the burger... okay. It wasn't anything amazing. A little boring is all I could gather. It needed something like ranch or tangy aioli to give it a bit more zing. Overall a decent place to stop for food and for a reasonable price. But nothing totally amazing.

My partner and I had lunch here after playing putt putt and Aqua golf. It had gone 2 pm and since it was a Tuesday it wasn't as busy as I've seen it in the past. Weekends can be a rush. I ordered a chocolate thickshake which came in one of those massive metal mixing cups. I love spooning out the ice cream before sipping my way to a full milk belly. It was delicious! My roast chicken wrap was pricey for the size. $18 with no accompanying chips but it too was tasty and I enjoyed the combination of the mellow tasty cheese with the red onion and roasted capsicum. An ice cream shop adjoins the building; I think they are both linked under Oscars.
