I can only describe this place as OK...the food is ok, the service also is ok the only great thing is the kids play room.
We have been here as handful of times & I have never walked away thinking it was great.
The meals I have had have always been just ok. I do like the dips plate & their chips. Kids meals are ok value. Bruschetta was a let down, just a piece of supermarket garlic bread slice with few tomatoes on top...lacking flavour....& the pizzas tend to be also bland in flavour.
As I said though...the kids play room is great & they have a room where they can watch TV too & my kids love going there so in my books that's good enough for me...

Good quality stock as always. My disappointment with this store is the staff @ the front registers. The last 2 times I have been there I have had staff continue a conversation with another staff member while serving me & barely acknowledge me apart from to take my money - I find that very rude! I'm sure they wouldn't like it if I was talking on my phone while they were serving me...
I love Harris Scarfe & all their products etc...especially when they have a sale...but they need to improve customer service!

Great concept. Not enough samples! Maybe they weren't expecting so many people to join the site or there just isn't enough suppliers willing to give away free samples....
You have to be quick & they only release on Tuesdays, which is hard if you are working, with kids etc...
If you have nothing better to do than wait on Tuesdays (with no specific times) for a sample, it's good.
I have managed to get a few & have loved it...no postage to pay, it's catch free apart from doing a review.
They need to release fewer samples & spread them out over different days & times so everyone gets a fair go. But at the end of the day you are getting something for free...

This review is for NQR Grocery Clearance Store, Morwell VIC

verified email - 16 Apr 2013

I love coming here to see what bargains I can buy for the week! I normally visit NQR before my grocery shop & see what I can get cheaper & then base what I cook for the week on what I pick up. They are great for youghurts, cream (just got a 600ml Bulla thick cream for 99 cents - bargain!) biscuits, drinks & all kinds of frozen foods. Well worth a look.
The Morwell store is always clean & staff are friendly!
We are all budget conscious these days so pop into NQR & see what they have on sale! There is always something new to see & on sale each time I visit.

Yum is all I can say. This is my favourite pizza place in Traralgon. The satay chicken & hot dog pizzas are delicious!!
They will accept & match competitors coupons which is great!
They also do nachos, ribs & wedges & have some really different pizzas like the hot dog pizza, nacho supremo pizza, curry chicken & a pizzalaki...makes choosing hard!

This review is for Coal Creek, Korumburra VIC

What a great family day out we had! And best of all Coal Creek is FREE to get into! Yep....FREE! Not many places now days that cost you $) to enter! We opted to pay the $6.50 each to go on the train that operates there....but the price is for as many rides as you like, great value! The kids loved it!
We spent about 5 hours here, which was surprising, we thought it didn't look like much but by the time we did a few train rides, walked all around the parklands & looked in all old buildings & had lunch @ the café 5 hours had gone by!
The kids loved seeing the ducks, the train, the coal mine (you can't go in it) the old shacks, shops etc...it really was a great day out!
We will definitely return!

This review is for DFO, Moorabbin VIC

verified email - 05 Apr 2013

Well, I was very disappointed coming to DFO. I came here years ago & can remember getting heaps of bargains...not this time...A lot of the shops were vacant. Many of the shops are very high end designer, so I couldn't afford even on "sale." And many of the other shops seem to be a dumping ground for excess unwanted stock in very very small sizes, great jeans for $5$10 if you are a size 4 or 6! And "normal" shops like Jeanswest were just the same prices as my local shop...
The one shop that made it worthwhile with awesome bargains was the Crocs shop- 4 pairs for $100. That made it all worthwhile...
If I lived local I'd pop in every now & then but we travelled 2 hours to have a look...so not in a hurry to return.

This review is for The 3844 Bar/Cafe, Traralgon VIC

Well I think I have found Traralgon's best coffee...yum! Nice relaxed trendy little café. They have a lovely outside area where we sat with the kids. Inside is gorgeous, warm, cosy & relaxed. I haven't tried the food yet...that will be my next visit. Nothing for kids to do in the café (no toys colouring etc..) which is normal...but they loved sitting outside because could watch the trains come into station...The only complaint I have is the milkshakes could be a bit bigger for the price. Other than that, we will be back!

This review is for Silvers Circus, Traralgon VIC

verified email - 21 Feb 2013

We had a wonderful night at the circus last night! Opening night, it was fairly quiet audiebce wise, so we got great seats. This was my first circus & I really loved it. We took the kids 6 & 2. Was worried 2y/o may get bored or hate it but he sat throught the whole show & he loved the dogs playing footy!
It was very entertaining & we all LOVED the motorbikes in the "Globe of death" as my 6 y/o said "it was awesome!"
Ticket prices are as expected for an show like this.
We got showbags for the kids for $6 each was quite good I thought. They have food & drinks, and kids can play the clowns too...
All the people that served us were very nice. We would happily come back next time they are in town!

This review is for La Porchetta Mornington, Mornington VIC

verified email - 15 Feb 2013

We had an early dinner here. I guess with La Parchetta you know what it will taste like....everyone we have been too tastes the same. I am not a big fan, I find the pizzas very bland/tastless & boring. But we went with family who do like going there.
We were on a tight budget this time so we ordered a pizza for all of us to share.
The meals were ok nothing tasty & fantastic. Their ham tastes fake to me. Very tastless. No playroom or anything for kids but did give them some crayons & paper to draw on.
The staff were all friendly & understanding of all our kids running around & playing cars on the floor!
