Automat

Popped in for brunch on a Saturday morning and so glad we did. Service was great, food was yummy and the menu was diverse enough that anyone will find something they like. The thing that impressed me the most was the portion size; we were both full at the end and got great value for money. They have a yummy looking dinner menu and everything can be made to takeaway which is a great idea! Looking forward to going back.

I've eaten at Automat several times. I've stopped for lunch, popped in for a drink and some wedges, or bread and dips. I've also dined out with my partner and friends for dinner. It's always been good. <br/ <br/ Today we returned for brunch. <br/ <br/ They've got a nice set up here; casual and relaxed. The decor is minimal. It feels unfinished, with the chip board panels, but not in a bad way. There's seating outside in the form of benches, but unfortunately it’s mostly in the shade. They have a few car parking spaces.<br/ <br/ Inside they have three benches which could sit eight adults, six comfortably. There are four tables which can seat four.<br/ <br/ Their fridge has bubbles, soft drinks, red and white wine. They also have a modest yet good selection of craft beer, including; Emerson's Crisp Pilsner, several from the Panhead range and Garage Project.<br/ <br/ We ordered a Panhead Pilsner (330ml) and glass of bubbles.<br/ <br/ The brunch menu had the usual fare; muesli, various bacon and eggs dishes. They also have burgers and specials on offer – today; Philly Steak Sammie.<br/ <br/ I ordered the pulled pork burger, with slaw and fries. My partner ordered the chicken, brie and beetroot burger with fries. Order arrived within 10 minutes.<br/ <br/ Both mains were good portions. We were both satisfied. The fries were hot and crisp. <br/ <br/ The pulled pork was delicious. The pork was plentiful and moist. The slaw was crisp and fresh, the BBQ sauce was tasty, not overpowering and the brioche bun was soft. A very satisfying dish.<br/ <br/ The chicken was moist and seasoned nicely, lots of brie and the beetroot puree was tasty. A nice dish.<br/ <br/ Pilsner: $8.50<br/ Bubbles: $10.00<br/ Pulled pork burger: $18.00<br/ Chicken brie burger: $18.00<br/ Total: $54.50<br/ <br/ Although we live in Johnsonville, this is our preferred cafe in the surrounding area. We have always enjoyed our meals and found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be returning again soon.

An excellent option for a family Sunday Brunch! Great menu (food and wine), good sized meals, well priced and enthusiastic/professional service.

We spotted a Salted Caramel Warm Choc Brownie, so we waited a wee bit then ordered that.Wow... It was fantastic, crispy on the outside gooey in the center, great textures.Service was very good, nice and friendly.Will defo be back!

The perfect place to take the kids for an early dinner. Food is excellent and the service friendly. A real asset to Khandallah.
