Awesome burgers, check it out…read more This new addition to the umina food scene is a diamond in the rough. Great burgers with a funky 80s bmx theme. Our personal favourite is the chicken burger, aka "the creep", generous chicken fillet on a soft bun with coleslaw and sauce! They also do a great cheese burger, or a double bacon cheese burger, "the boss" if you are keen for a big feed. Sides include potatoe or sweet potatoe fries, onion rings and popcorn chicken. They even have a kids menu of mini offerings including cheese burger "mullet" and pop corn chicken. If you are keen for a burger feed then this is the place to be.

There's a lot of style over substance in the restaurant. It's an American Ranch style smoke house…read more Like most restaurants that start up in the central coast its minimalistic in design and menu. The atmosphere has a sense of tension, the feeling you get when you want a restaurant to surprise you with good food, drinks and price, unfortunately SOW doesn't do any of them very well. The menu in the US can be found at most road side truck stops, nothing new here only that it's slightly misplaced in Umina. Not that it shouldn't be there it's just that because of the prices of the food and drink I can't seem to believe they'll have a loyal customer base. Well not all year round. I'm surprised given the location and the cost of rents in the area they couldn't be more generous with either the servings or the prices. In fact the restaurant is far more suited to Surry Hills, and charges the same prices. There's only one healthy option on the menu an ode to vegetarians, but without any enthusiasm and priced as the most expensive, it would seem they were trying to avoid the subject. Being so close to the coast and a fishing wharf I'm surprised there is no fish on the menu smoked or not. The drinks menu is interesting and leans towards the craft beers and cocktails. The wine list is appalling and unnecessarily slim. A glass of average wine at $11.00 it's cheaper to drink in Surry Hills. Overall it's a bar that wants to be a restaurant that wants to be a bar but probably can't because of licensing. I'd definitely go back for a drink and bar snack if they reviewed their pricing. In fact it's close to being the go to place, if they could get it right and find their appropriate audience for the location. The service was good, attentive and appropriate.

The pancakes were sweet and well balanced with mascarpone! The coffee was smooth and the service friendly. We followed sweets with a brisket Rueben burger, poutine tater tots and a pumpkin salad for balance. Being a brisket lover I have high standards and this brisket measure up nicely; succulent, tasty and juicy. The salad was tasty but a few more options in the salad department would be nice(fennel citrus???). We devoured the poutine taters in no time, dripping in tasty house gravy and mozzarella. The hero of the meal was the brisket in my book, washed down nicely with a golden ale. If you enjoy southern US diner food, then you won't be disappointed with sounds on west, the jukebox tunes add to the charm! And they stock Henry's gin from distillery botanica in Erina. Great stuff.

It took a while, McDonald's Umina, but you finally broke me…read more It's not enough that your staff consistently get orders wrong (I've lost count of how many times a double big mac has magically turned into a cold single mac), or that the burgers through drive-through are almost always cold, or that custom burgers seem to be replaced with regular burgers (no pickles really does mean NO PICKLES), but this time, the girl at the window poured a full large coke zero all over me and my car electrics after which I was told "don't worry I'll get you a new one" Next morning we were told they'd reviewed camera footage and it was all my fault (I guess I'll have to take their word for it?) Consistently terrible, disinterested service, impressive lack of attention to detail, a filthy store, and poor responsiveness to complaints have finally broken me. I will never, ever again make a purchase at McDonald's Umina. I'm done. Considering we have a young child and live in the area, I wonder how many thousands of dollars that is that will never be spent at this franchise? I guess you win McDonald's Umina, catch you never.

If you are busy then I would hire more help and, not have such an extensive lunch menu to choose from. The food was nothing special and the flavours were ok. I did wonder how they won country pub of the year before ? It's not cheap and having long waits for food makes it less appealing.
