Bar staff were lovely and polite. My husband had the open steak sandwich which was ironically closed. Steak was good quality and cooked well and the onion rings were crispy and tastey. I had the Hawaiian chicken burger and luke warm hot chocolate. The only thing that the burger has going for it is the bun, the pineapple tasted off and was inedible, I’m not fussy so I just pulled it out instead of sending it back. The chips tasted like the cheap ones from the supermarket and the sauces equally as cheap tasting. It was very popular though so obviously people like it here!
The menu aspires to be far above the reality of the food. When you see a $10 garlic bread you hope for more than a small 4 slice loaf that is still frozen in the middle. The platters are poor value, and the mains rarely live up to the descriptions on the menu. Steak came with mashed potatoes that were both gluey and full of lumps, a Guinness pie was a watery broth in a bowl with a pastry lid. The quiz host and bar staff are lovely though.
The wife dug out another one of the Grabone vouchers she seems to accumulate. So off to the Elmwood Trading Company we went. First impressions were that this place is a dump. We advised the nice young guy behind the bar that we had a booking. He didn’t check any reservation book or anything, he just asked where would we like to sit. (I later realised that he was the barman, order taker, food server, clean upper and pokie machine re-filler.) Two areas to choose from to dine. Main bar area adjacent to the TAB machine, or the “restaurant” area out back. We chose the restaurant area. Just so you are aware there are no windows in this area but there is a large TV to watch the sport on! For our dining experience the options included such fine delicacies as “Gourmet Dogs” (The Original Dog – American frankfurter, fried onions rings, melted mozzarella cheese, tomato ketchup and American mustard or Pork Dog – Pork & herb sausage, aioli, cabbage & apple slaw, onion marmalade and American mustard or Breakfast Dog – Kransky sausage, with bacon, melted cheese, fried onions rings, fried egg and sage and onion marmalade). Alternatively we could have had a burger! We both chose what appeared to be the best option which was the “Chicken Supreme at $30.00 – Buttermilk marinated ham & cheese stuffed chicken breast crumbed and fried, with your choice of 2 sides and 1 sauce. The sides I chose were buttered steamed veg of the day and steamed potatoes in garlic butter. I went with a mushroom sauce. The other half went for the same except she went for a garlic butter sauce. The meals were average but did get a massive steak knife to cut the chicken with. Would have felt ripped off at $30 a pop, but as she had a voucher it was a two for one deal. Felt sorry for the lone ranger who seemed to be doing all the work. Will not go back again.
