Some food was unavailable but I guess lesson learned. If you are going to eat make sure you are there early. What food was available was quite nice. We never really got to dessert so cannot comment. I am sure most will say our bad but if they had told us they were closing we would have gone else where.

Okay, I ended up here on the Thursday before Easter so it was basically full of people simply…read moretaking advantage of the fact that they didn't have to go to work in the morning (not that that has stopped me in the past). The thing was that I got the feeling that the staff felt that way as well, or at least they were annoyed that I simply wanted a beer. Oh, it was pretty packed as well, so yeah, there's that as well.

This was actually the first pub that I visited in Wagga, and came here pretty quickly after lunch…read morebecause, well, the main reason that I came here was to check out their pubs, and because I hadn't been here before. Yeah, so, this was an okay pub, and did have the country vibe that tends to make pubs a little better out in the bush. Okay, the beers were limited, but they had a couple of decent ones, so yeah, that was okay.

A bit of a hidden gem in Wagga Wagga. A standard unassuming hotel on the outside, but with a legit…read morekitchen firing up tasty pizzas within. We ordered take away for lunch and shared the pulled pork BBQ pizza and the chicken satay pizza. Neither are that novel in concept, but the execution was spot on. Loved the base/crust - chewy, doughy, and just the right amount of crispness. The BBQ sauce on the pulled pork was fantastic, tangy sweet with a nice bite. The caramelized apple and bacon counterbalanced each other well. The balsamic glaze was also a nice touch on top. Generous, tender pork = nicely done boys. As for the chicken satay pizza, this one was a distant runner up, but still solid. Chicken was juicy and tender, and while I enjoyed the peanut-y satay base, it kind of soaked up the capsicum, onions, and cashews to the point where there weren't many distinct flavors left. Would still order again if they were out of the pork pizza, but with tempered expectations. Since the bistro is in a hotel, prices are a bit steep for the portions. Two pizzas fed two people, but with only a couple slices remaining for leftovers. But the quality of ingredients and proper prep justifies the prices. Take away was quick and hassle free. Dining in will certainly be an option in the future, but with avid pokies in the next room, might choose to avoid dining in amongst rabid fans. Nevertheless, will be back for more.

So there I was in Wagga Wagga for the first time and about to head back to Sydney (a good 5 hr…read moredrive!) The family needed a pick me up and we stumbled into this neat place! I love the decor - lounges make the place look real modern, they have a nice bar set up and some good seating (though the chairs are strips of metal melded together and my mum nearly cut her thigh whilst sitting there). I want you to know that I only had coffee here so I cannot judge their food (which looked pretty good by the way). It was "okay coffee", it wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. The staff however are very nice and down to earth, which I love. It's like a place where you would come for dinner but maybe not coffee.

Ok it was 2.30pm, a late lunch, but in my humble opinion it is incredibly rude for the staff to start putting the stools on top of the tables whilst there are still nearly two dozen customers still eating in the restaurant. While I'm in the mood, the silly saucers with the coffee cups annoy me as well.

Okay, it wasn't really all that fancy,but then again these cafes generally aren't. In fact they tend to be kiosks, though this one was better. The staff were actually pretty helpful, and patient while my brother made his choice. I liked it.

This seems to be one of those places that is a cafe during the day and a bar at night, though they…read moredo happen to be separated by a wall. It wasn't bad actually, though the style of coffee wasn't exactly he style that I liked. However, for a cafe on the main street it did have its own style and charm, and the service was pretty good as well.

Mind you, when I came here it was packed, but it was a Saturday morning, and similar cafes in Melbourne also get packed at that time. It was okay, and the service was passable as well.

Actually, it does feel like a nightspot, except that it seems to be open at a number of other times during the day, and they also serve food.
