I have used Strudwicks tree lopping twice and I am overall happy with their service. They give free quotes, and I think their pricing is very reasonable. The staff and chatty and friendly, and clean up after work done.

This review is for Himalayan Cafe, Fortitude Valley QLD

verified email - 26 Oct 2013

I've never had Nepalese food so I wasn't sure what to expect. We ordered 2 entrees and 2 mains to share amongst 3 of us. The Himalayan bread and the dip was to die for!!!!!!! highly recommended!!!!!! The bread was served nice and hot and so soft, and the dip was tasted very special (unlike any other dip I've ever had). The beef entrée was good too and decent size. The mains were disappointingly bland, especially the noodles, and the curry were ok - could be more flavoursome.

This review is for Archer Glass, Salisbury QLD

We needed a shower screen glass installed at our property; I rang around and this place was by far the cheapest. Great communication, no fuss from quote to installation. Cannot recommend highly enough! Next time I need glass installation or replacement will definitely come to these guys again.

Approximate cost: $570

This review is for Montville Coffee Pot, Montville QLD

verified email - 07 Oct 2013

Dropped by here for a late lunch during our road trip. We didn't wanna spend too much for lunch so compared a few places and found this place cheapest. Ordered 2 burgers ($12-$15 each), one pesto chicken one steak burger. Burgers don't come with chips, but a the salad in the burger was very generous with a wide range of veg. Steak and chicken were well seasoned. You can choose your own bread - Turkish, bagel, white......at no extra cost. If I ever come to Montville again will return.

This review is for Hervey Bay Boat Club, Urangan QLD

verified email - 07 Oct 2013

A local took us here for dinner on a Friday night when we were visiting Hervey Bay. We were warned before there would be a wait so we were prepared when we were given a beeper and had to wait 30mins. We checked out the menu while waiting so we could order food straight away when we sat down.

We had the seafood mornay (with potato gratin and vegetables) and Club burger. the burger was huuuuuge and tasty. Seafood mornay had generous servings of squid and scallops but very little fish or prawn. I thought everything tasted delicious and great value for the large portion size - only small criticism would be the food were not hot when served - it was just warm - but seeing how busy they were I could understand. THere's free tea/coffee/hot chocolate, and the environment was just so classy yet cosy and comfortable at the same time. Would love to visit again!

This review is for Mr Seafood, Scarness, Booral QLD

We were walking along the esplanade looking for a place to have lunch. We decided on this place as it looked quite busy - which must be a good sign! Ordered the seafood basket $15.9 approx. to share between 2 - waited about 10 minutes for the food. Very large portion - could not finish everything! There were crumbed fish, calamari, scallops and potato balls (and chips of course!).

This review is for Camel Safaris, Scarness QLD

Camel Safaris offer 1 hour camel ride for $50 adult, and $30 children, which I thought was pretty good value. I called up and booked a ride on a Wednesday afternoon. It was my first time riding camels so it was very excited! Steve the person in charge I very friendly; he showed us how to get onto the camels safely, and the camels rode along Scarness Beach. Steve walked alongside the camels to chat to us about all things camels while his assistance lead the camels at the front. Actually riding time is about 45 mins as getting on and off the camels took up 15 mins. Nontheless a great experience that I would highly recommend!!! Great for old and young alike, very comfortable ride.

This review is for China World, Torquay QLD

verified email - 07 Oct 2013

Came here for dinner when I visited Hervey Bay. Although most dishes appear to target Westerners, they do make a good selection of authentic chinese food. Jenny the owner is very friendly and make sure we are well looked after. Food are well seasoned, not too salty and quite certain no msg in them. Good portion size. We had the seafood pot, beef with vegetables and Cantonese chicken on hot plate. Would be better if they used porcelain instead of plastic bowls and dishes. The place looks a bit old but overall tidy and neat.

This review is for Cafe Jilarty, Rainbow Beach QLD

Came here for lunch as recommended by a friend after visiting the Carlo Sand blow. We ordered 1 large chicken pizza and a burger (with chips) to share amongst 3 of us. Waited about 15-20mins for food to be served. Burger was very nice - beef patty quite thick and juicy and bread was soft. Pizza had plenty of chicken pieces, though crust a bit chewy for me. Love the all you can squeeze tomato sauce for the chips :D

Approximate cost: $12-$18

This review is for Yum Cha Cuisine, Carindale QLD

verified email - 07 Oct 2013

I've been meaning to try this yum cha place for a while - finally got around to it on a Sunday afternoon for yum cha!

We sat next the window, with comfortable seating. The place has nice décor and is bright and welcoming. The menu contains some basic/traditional yum cha staples, and some other options catering for westerners. We had prawn dumpling, scallop rolls, xialongbao, fried rice and beef meatballs. All dishes were served hot, complemented the nice oolong chinese tea. I thought the portion size was just a touch smaller than other restaurants. There were plenty of staff on duty so we never struggled to find someone when we needed to order something/needed tea to be filled up. All staff were friendly. Price is on par with other chinese yum cha places in Brisbane.
