Nice bottle shop - cut above the norm. Not the cheapest but staff are friendly, great wine range and most staff helpful in thier own knowledge of the wine.

19/1/2012 Recently overtaken by BWS and is now a 2 star, very average, bottleshop with run of the mill stock at inflated prices (unless you want to by two of everything) TRAGEDY..!!

These guys have serviced my vehicles for years and I will not go to anyone else. Went for too long trying to find a mechanic that I was really comfortable with - the franchise mobs never did it for me.
They Care, they are honest "old fashioned" (in the nicest way) and always friendly.
If you are looking for someone in this field give Rob, Dave and Ian a go

Dropped in for a quick lunch a little after midday on Saturday with my daugther and picked up 2 1/4 BBQ chicken and chips. the Chips were stale (double dipped...??) and the chicken dry.
Its not rocket science guys - all you sell is chicken (admittedly 2 ways) and chips. so why does it have to be 2nd rate(i'm being generous BTW...)?
At any time that a food outlet is open and prepared to trade at full price the client should expect a quality product and if you cant do it at lunch time on a Saturday, you need more than honest feedback

Nice rolls - consistantly good and most of the staff are friendly. I go out of my way and past other subways to pick up lunch from this one - keep it up

We dropped in for lunch Sunday about 1:00PM and the place was a little quiet and its fair to say the décor is showing its age a little – but don't let that put you off if you have not tried it before.
We had the kids with us so one wanted a Pizza (Vegetarian) and the other wanted Tortellini, my wife had Fettuccine with Chicken and Avocado. I settled for a Chicken Parmagiana and Salad.
The meals were great, the Pastas were generous, fresh and perfectly sauced (both of ours were cream based), My Parmagana was very nice, the topping had a bit more flavour than many I have tried but most noticeable was that the chicken was cooked again to perfection and nice and moist.
Youngest Daughter the pizza and like others have mentioned they are really good – the topping was piled high cooked perfectly again….(seems to be a trend) and fair to say others that I saw come out to other tables looked just as good.
In Summary these guys know how to provide value and good quality Italian fare. Surprised that no chilli mussels were on the menu but if that was a disappointment it was soon forgotten. Menu priced well for what they serve – Pizza Lge $13 - $20 (might sound a little $$ but wait and weigh up what you get , its not chain store quality) Large Pastas $16 – $24. Parma was about $24.
Confident that we will be back when we are down that way again – Thanks to Staff and Chef.

Agree with Jades2 - these guys are regular at goofing your orders.
Our latest "experience" went like this
Into Drive thru last Sunday and placed 4 orders late afternoon and agreed to have all orders as “Value Meals”.
Collected our order and drove home – kids hungry, just wanted to get home… Oops.
Even the loosest tool in the tool box should be able to work out 4 value meals should mean 4 serves of fries but no we managed to get 3. I am staggered with the effort that they go to at HJs to upsell you into a meal that they cannot count up to 4 – go figure. As it turned out they may have been doing us a favour as the fries were suffering from old age, you know that soggy yet dryish, brown, wrinkly, sad way that fries go when they are sitting forever (bit like people in the sun all day really…..), perhaps even since lunch..
Move on to the Orders – I am a Whopper and Cheese man, always have been and always will be. Sometimes you get really good ones and sometimes you don't – this was on the low side of “sometimes you don't”. Beef dry, Cheese not even trying to melt due to burger being it being cool to cold and somewhat stale also, couldn't help but think someone had found one that missed the lunch hour and gone “Heres one, throw some cheese in it”, wrapped then packed.
Wife likes the Chicken Royale,…..usually, and thus was her choosing. “ How was it love?” I asked, before reading the look on her face. Suffering a similar fate to everything else hers was also late for the lunch run somewhat stale, and she reckoned the thing had been round the microwave once too many times as the bun was hard around the edges.
Guys, if you are going to be Open then serve it fresh and serve it right, cause I still pay the same money.
