Great deal for happy hour with $4 basic spirits. Only problem is that if you leave your table to go to the toilet the staff will clear your drinks what seems like immediately... And I'm talking full drinks. Not on.
And this didn't happen just once, but three times to me and also happened to my friends. Not on.
Great happy hour but watch your drinks!

Awesome souvlaki, a little smaller than i was expecting but very tasty. I've been told that they're not usually on the small side so I will order another one day to compare. Was very tasty anyway.
My partner says the burgers are top notch, too.
Appears to be a family run business and the service can range from excellent to slow depending on who is serving you.
Aside from that definitely worth a try.

Nice place to come. We were here for the AFL grand final game. Nice terrace and very modern interior.

Had a lovely lunch before the game of salmon filet with greens it was cheap (only $16!) and cooked to perfection!

Great place to have a function upstairs? Engagement party, 30th?

Great place to pick up cheap tools, paint brushes and house and garden items such as hoses etc. Also great place to pick up Gift wrap, picture frames, crockery, pet bedding.

Appliances and furniture I think is a little hit and miss. Prices seemed a little high for a non-name dishwasher and the seller was not interested in negotiating on price much.

Approximate cost: $Great bargains

I love Big W. Good bargains and never too busy. Great pets selection, too. This one appears to be a well stocked Big W with good bargains but mainly that it is not too busy. Parking is ok too.

Approximate cost: $Cheap cheap

Think Big W cross Bunnings. Love it!
Staff are knowledgable and know where things are located. I will be coming here most likely for my DIY projects.
Noticed some interesting differences too such as trolleys in the style of a car for kids to enjoy sitting in, a great wallpaper aisle, appliances for sale such as fridges and dishwashers, great range of Stegbar windows, great plant section plus many more features.
Watch out Bunnings as there's a new kid in town!

Approximate cost: $As expected

I'll be back. The place had some very nice food and the sangria packed a punch. Stools aren't very comfortable but a few sangrias should let you forget about that.
We had the $25 lunch deal they currently have going which includes the grilled corn for entree (delicious) and your choice of two burritos and a dessert along with a small glass of sangria.
Definitely will be back.

Approximate cost: $25 lunch deal

This review is for Mr Benedict, Albury NSW

Albury steps up! This is my hometown do I was quite surprised to visit Albury and stumble across a place like this. Very cool.
Nice coffee, nice food. Staff were very friendly. Service was a little slow. But that's ok. My breakfast partner is a long black drinker and always rates the barista by their long black. He wasn't very impressed. My flat white was delicious but our other friend did not like his cold latte. The food was delicious although a few bits and pieces of the big breakfast we're on the skimpy side.
Look, the place was busy that Saturday morning with a queue out the door so we did forgive Benedict's for the coffees. I will certainly be back and would be excited to give them another go.
I heard yet also have a courtyard out the back, didn't see one though as there were to many role to get past to have a look. Would be nice though.

Approximate cost: $16 for breakfast

This review is for The Man, Falls Creek VIC

Meh. It's ok. The food was alright. No salt or pepper? What the?
There is a bar downstairs we didn't experience (probably should have) that has live gigs most Saturday nights.
As far as food goes it was standard fare missing some essentials (such as salt and pepper!).

Approximate cost: $26 garlic prawns and $25 Parma. Pricey as expected.

As far as service and cleanliness goes, this place is 10/10.
One of two, if not the only resort that has the ability to allow guests to drive their car up to the resort to offload the car. A definite bonus as suites are self contained - so
If you are bringing your own food plus ski gear you'll appreciate not having to lug your baggage far away from the carpark or pay the pricey oversnow fee.
Decor is dated (think late 80s) but it's very clean and the staff are incredibly friendly.
Location is good. Near The Man and other drinking spots. I've also been told the steak is the best here than anywhere else on the mountain.
Rooms are basic but clean. Try to get a room facing the Gully Chair, the views at different times of the day and evening are amazing.
Louise our receptionist was a lovely girl and very helpful.

Approximate cost: $As you expect at Falls Creek.
