dined at this restaurant for a friends birthday dinner. Staff were extremely friendly, and overall visit was amazing. Not only was it an all you can eat restaurant, there were a few performances which involved all customers. Had a very fun night there. Only downside was the drive up was quite nauseating (not Cuckoo's fault though!)

Approximate cost: $35

A large group of us recently went to the Cuckoo for a night out and had a ball! We had some vouchers that were purchased online so we only had to pay $25 for a fantastic buffet dinner and German Floorshow....There was lots of yoodling and quite a few laughs at our table. A great night out and a wonderful location in the Dandenongs...Highly recommended for that special party !!!

We have been there on two occassions and loved it!
the entertainment,a german band playing music is great fun

the second time we went, it was a group of 10 and everyone had a blast (most were first timers)

the beer steins were impressive and easy to drink too!

the smorgsabord contained a delicious range of german sausages and other hot dishes

the dessert table was extensive and so many delightful cakes to try

Highly recommend going in winter as its really cosy and terrific night out

The traditional German/European food is a lovely change to the usual buffet style restaruants around Melbourne. The highlight of the food are the German sausages and sauerkraut (shredded sour cabbage which is sauteed).The deserts, especially the sour cherry strudel is amazing! Just what the grandmothers used to make! There is also a show with some dancing and entertainment. The surroundings are beautiful with back gardens for lovely photo opportunities.

Approximate cost: $50

If you have never been and you have relatives visiting then this is a great place to take them. There is a huge buffet to meet everyone's needs - my favourite is the desert (lots of little cakes and treats). The "entertainment" is the same each time - bell ringing featuring strongly - and it gets a bit tiring if you have sat through it several times. Good to visit at Xmas as Santa makes an appearance

Dainty little German restaurant, One of very few that can be found in Melbourne. takes quite a while to get there (make it a half day trip coming from most locations around melbourne) but worth the drive as hard to find a traditional german restaurant around.

I came here to celebrate a friend's 40 birthday. If you enjoy listening to yodel ling and watching a wood-chopping slap dance than this is the place for you. Come and enjoy a smorgasbord of delicious german food. I had a great time and hopefully you will too.

all you can eat smorgasbord great food and entertainment friendly service they make you feel at home

Approximate cost: $55

We go about once a year as our anniversary dinner. Nothing melts your mans heart like a smorgasboard! It is well priced for a whole nights food and entertainment. The food is great,the atmosphere is fantastic especially if you are lucky enough to get a gorgeous view of the dandenongs. The show is usually very similar but still amusing and entertaining.

Absolutely delightful experience. Lovely bush setting with abundant bird life. Internally very cozy. Delicious, varied and very more-ish cuisine. Enjoyable and often interactive professional entertainment. Looking forward to returning soon. Very highly recommended.
