This review is for Irish Murphys, Brisbane QLD

verified email - 20 Oct 2013

The first thing you will probably notice when you see this place is how good it looks, it has a true Irish feel to it. You can go either downstairs or upstairs to a private balcony area and overlook the city streets. I've been here for lunch lots of times and the menu is amazing, they have a fantastic selection of 15 dollar deals. I normally stick to the same steak and chips because it's hard to beat. I would also recommend their guinness pie, it's sensational. My friends and I also go to enjoy the music, Irish Murphy's is home to so many bands, the problem I ran into was knowing what days they are on. To keep up to date make sure you join their mailing list. I did this and now I get all the events information at my fingertips. The downside to that is your mobile/email will be bombarded with news. I appreciate music, so I like finding out what's great. The staff here are also pretty good except when it's super busy I find that you can often be forgotten or left waiting which can be annoying. With the great food and good music and relaxed atmosphere I've always enjoyed it and would recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy the total experience. It's not just a pub, it's quite a bit more than that.

Approximate cost: $15

It took a long time and alot of research before I agreed to use these guys. I wanted to know I was getting the best quality. My wife and I chose to go with a full termite barrier costing a whopping 4,000 and then there are yearly checks done for around $240. So it does get quite expensive. But touch wood (pardon the pun) we have not had any issues and I've seen first hand some friends who had massive issues with termites. I'm very happy with the service and the guy who comes out is always on time and does a full comprehensive check. I would thoroughly recommend these guys over many of the other options out there. Protect your investment!!!!

There's nothing more annoying then locking yourself out of a house which I seem to do quite a bit. When that happens it's comforting to know that company's such as Suburban Locksmith are around. The guy that came out was tremendous he had us in our house in minutes. When I saw him pull out a powertool and use it on our door, I was starting to panick wondering what might happen to the lock, but nothing happened at all, he got us safely in and no damage to my door. He was really polite and I was pleased with how quickly he turned up especially on a weekend. He was the key to fixing all our issues.

This review is for RACQ Roadside Assistance, Eight Mile Plains QLD

I've been a member of RACQ since I got my first car in 1995, I'm now considered a silver member but feel more like a gold member. This company has been teriffic support for me over the years, they've fixed car batteries, helped me with a radiator issue and even helped me figure out that my mechanic was not as honest as I thought he was. I recommend them to everyone who drives a vehicle because you just never know when you need them. They do a fantastic job and it's money well spent. I've even changed my CTP on my rego slip to RACQ and for doing that they gave me $10 discount. I know I can call them at any time when I have trouble and they will always, always be there. Wouldn't be without it now...would you?

This review is for Bavarian Blue, Wellington Point QLD

This place attempts to be a very comprehensive German Restaurant but for mine it falls short in it's lack of choice. There are not very many options for meals and I sort of expected more. I chose for my dinner the Jager snitzel which in my view is the tastiest option. The other meals just didn't stack up. The snitzel was beautiful and tasted very well made. Price was ok and I enjoyed my meal. The restaurant is far too cramped though and I would have enjoyed a bit more room. I think it's an ok choice for dinner but you can't rest success on one meal and I really feel that this place relies to heavily on it's snitzel. Don't get me wrong it's good but you need variety and I just don't see it here.

This review is for Refuelled, Wellington Point QLD

I'm really left in two minds with this place. On one hand the food and service is great and on the other hand the range is limited and prices a bit expensive. I went there for a hot breakfast of bacon and eggs and a coffee and I must say the food was teriffic. The staff were excellent and the location is perfect for a trouble free and relaxing breakfast. To me the range just isn't there and the prices need to be a bit more competitive. I think they have taste down pat but the place is a little let down by the negative points, I've raised. I think if this is worked out then it will be the place to go.

This review is for Capalaba Mower Centre, Capalaba QLD

I was originally put onto the business by my father who saw I was having immense difficulty with my whipper snipper. My whipper snipper had only been used a few times and was pretty new but constantly broke down. I tried returning it, had no luck, I tried different fuel nothing. I asked friends to help me, no luck, I tried some mower centres and still they couldn't fix it but then after my father told me to go here I was able to get it going again. My question remains how is it that no one else could fix it, yet this mower centre could? Their staff were excellent in fixing my whipper snipper and it runs perfectly. Their work is excellent and prices seem pretty reasonable too. What impressed me more is the fact they get right onto fixing things and don't leave your job sitting for months like other places I've been to. They offer good advice and the products they sell are of high quality. I do hope they stay in business for a long time because they seem to be the only decent mower shop around.

This review is for Redland City Council, Cleveland QLD

verified email - 14 Oct 2013

It's no secret that the Redlands Shire is the biggest growing shire, so you'd expect it would be working hard for the people in it. In my experience they've been very disappointing, we had issues with our housing approvals not being lodged correctly, and the council put my wife and I through hell and back, extremely unsympathetic and didn't care. I may aswell have set up a desk at the council and done all the work myself, not one person showed any form of iniative. What's even scarier is they don't even have their own public immunisation clinic yet all other councils do. I love the redlands but just wonder what the council actually do to better things.

This review is for Mater Mothers Private Redland, Cleveland QLD

verified email - 14 Oct 2013

My baby was born on 10/10/13 and it was the most exciting time of my life. The Mater private redland were with me every step of the way and as a father, I needed it. They've helped my wife and I through feeding issues, provided excellent room service when I've needed it. Showed me how to bath my baby, feed it and tips on how to settle it. I participated in their anti-natal classes and I must say every father to be out there should do it. I thought I knew it all, I definitely did not. The mid-wife star are so good and give me the confidence to know I can do it. Private hospitals are not cheap but you get what your pay for and I couldn't be more happier. I'm enjoying my baby and its all cause of Mater Private Redland.

This review is for Off The Wall Diner, Wellington Point QLD

Truly Huge Burgers and Fries that are equally huge. This place has it all. I've tried a few of them now and the truckstop burger was the most favourite. They are also home to the hottest burger but there is no way I'd attempt it. I've also been here for brekfast and they have two really good meals I liked a big breakfast for $14.90 and pancakes for around $10. As far as the burgers go, they are pretty good but fiercly overpriced. I think there are better burgers out there for the money.
