  We went here for dinner with family members. Ordered Chicken Burger which came out on a small plate and looked very small for an adult meal. We all commented on how small the burger was – it was the same size bun as the childs Cowabunga burger meal ($10.00) which also included chips and a drink. We queried the size with the two waiters who brought the meals out and they assured us this was the full adult burger which cost $14.00 excluding chips. Burger consisted of a couple of tenderloins, lettuce leaf, tomato slice and a slice of cheese. VERY ORDINARY for the price. After the meal I complained to the duty manager and was told they used to have a larger bun size for standard burgers but that had now been reduced to the one small size. I was told my complaint had been noted. Won’t be back. Better value would have been to buy a burger at either McD’s on one side of the restaurant or KFC on the other which would have cost a lot less than $14.00. These type of restaurants have you over a barrel by requiring payment at time of ordering otherwise I would have refused payment.

  These two plates of chips cost us 13.00. This is half the portion given last week. When we questioned the staff, we were told management wanted to give out smaller portions, disappointing , no consistency for your regulars, I won’t order the plate of chips again

  Worst experience I have had in a long time but I should have known that the quality & service was lacking as there were only a handful of diners in sight. A night out spent with a good friend and a family member, quickly turned to custard. Have never eaten at Breakers before, however my friend who lived in the area said we should try it, which we did. Our meals were brought to the table & we were both less than impressed with the way they looked on the plate. It was clear that the oil was old, as the chips were brown in colour rather than golden, were also very greasy. Upon cutting my schnitzel the meat oozed red blood & was extremely raw. I ushered one of the staff over who wasn’t overly concerned and said he would take it back to the kitchen for review & they would cook another. When my replacement meal arrived, the schnitzel looked exactly like the same piece they had taken away (The size & cuts were exactly the same) which I commented on. Was told that they would never re-cook something that had been eaten, can’t say I trust this statement after the way in which they dealt with my concerns. After complaining a second time as the schnitzel was still very raw in places, the owner came over. He was very aggressive & it was clearly obvious by his comments that he didn’t want to take on board my concerns. The owner told me that beef schnitzel will look red (slightly pink yes, but not red & oozing with blood) which I refuted & he then proceeded to point to the meal in an aggressive fashion, voicing that the meal was worth $21.90. He then went on to say that I wouldn’t be given anything else & he would refund me for the schnitzel meal which he clearly wasn’t happy about. In closing, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone.
