Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Service was good and there were plenty of choices on the menu. His chicken and seafood paella was very tasty and generous but it is a bit of a stretch to call it a true paella. My battered fish and chips was a huge serve. The fish was moist and flaky, the salad was a tasty, interesting change from what most pubs serve but the batter was so thick and the tartare was more like mayo. The wine list was good and wine prices were very good by todays standards

The food here was AMAZING - and cheap!
The Seafood Hotpot was to die for. Not only was it great eating, it was huge and very well presented. I would recommend it to anyone.
My only problem with the hotel was the selections of wine by the glass over the main bar. "We have red.... and white...". For a hotel near wine country (Coonawarra is less than an hour away) the choices were awful. The restaurant selection was ok, but it also could have been improved by a wider choice and some top shelf selections.

What a surprise? Good service, great menu choice. Food was excellent. New owners and chef have made a big improvement to this pub. Very clean. We will definitely be back and will recommend this quaint pub to all our family and friends.

1 / 5, worst bistro service. Meals were basic at best to he specific a paper thin beef schnitzel tough and tasteless with a cost of $21 with sauce, chips, or vegetables an additional $3 each. Maybe speka to federal hotel in Mt Gambier and get some points on how a schnitzel should be.

Had not been to this place in quite a few years and was so pleased we decided for it instead of the fish and chip we ventured down to Port McDonald for. Meals are huge and service fantastic. The beef schnitzel seemed to go on forever and was a struggle to finish. Topped with generous salad and just the right amount of chips. The wife had the fisherman's basket containing prawns, schollops and squid with a large peice of fish, salad and chips. Service was great and very friendly. Will not leave it that long again between our next visit.

Wow! What a change - I haven’t eaten a meal here for approximately 10 years and there has been many changes. Extensive menu to cater for all tastes, great value for money (check the specials board too), generous serves and warm country hospitality.
The dessert menu looked delicious but we were too full.
Can recommend the bruschetta, chicken Al fungi, chicken snitzel with shipwreck topping, chicken parmigiana and the risotto with mushrooms.

We went for a drive from Mount Gambier for lunch after a few recommendations . All I can say is food was fantastic. I've eaten in alot of hi end restaurants and this was up there with them. Everything is fresh, all the sauces are made in house which in my opinion makes all the difference between a normal average pub meal to the next level which this was. Fantastic meal from a chef who cares about what they are doing. We will certainly be back.

Staying down for a few days and decided it was not a night for cooking at home.
Booked in for a meal for 4 and was impressed with the variety of choices available for dinner.
I went for the Rump steak with Dianne sauce and roasted veg while my wife went for the salt and pepper squid.
The teenage boys went for a chicken parmigiana and a chicken schnitzel with gravy.
All very impressed with the quality of their meals and friendly staff service.

Fantastic little pub. You are made feel very welcome the moment you enter by all staff. The meal was superb. Make sure that you are hungry when you go here, we were and came out quite satisfied. In fact we didn't have anything else to eat for the rest of the day. Definitely worth the trip over (we are from Warrnambool, about 2 1/2 hrs away.) and while you are there go have a look at Don & Sheila's museum..on lower nelson rd.

We all had great meals. Chilli mussels, schnitzel, barramundi, steak, caesar salad. Atmosphere was really nice and the staff were outstanding. Thanks for making our family gathering so easy and memorable.

We had a anniversary celebration lunch at the Port McDonnell pub. Really great pub food, good selection of cuisine and pretty decent wine options. Good value for money.

Decor was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu was extensive with a few specialty dishes.
I had the Seafood Hot and the presentation and flavour was excellent, my partner had a Paella,while tending to be towards a risotto the flavour was excellent.
The wine list included a lot of regional wines.
It was the best restaurant meal we have had in the last 12-18 months.
Well done

Great food and very attentive staff. The seafood basket was very good as was my partner's chicken schnitzel (enough for two meals really). Good selection of wine to boot!
