Baxter Tavern - Kurunjang

My little sister accidentally step her foot in the casino and a woman with a name tag came and yelled GET HER OUT OF HERE instead of just saying sorry children can't be in the casino area so my dad (64) flipped her off and she scared my little sister absolute shut place zero stars if I could it was fuckin ****

Great food at a good price. My gnocchi pasta was well made and freshly cooked inhouse which is quite unique. The service is wonderful and really fast. Though I was hoping for more flavors of milkshakes or more of the other dessert options.

I’ve been coming here for 35 years, sometimes not for a few years at a time as I don’t live in Melb anymore. It has always been a great local pub, with fabulous value for money meals. Seniors discount of 20% plus free soup and salad and an old timers band on a Sunday means the place is always full of the older crowd, but don’t let this put you off the food is terrific with a huge menu range and large portions. You won’t go home hungry!

I have eaten here several times and for some reason the family return. I won't be joining them. The venue lacks atmosphere but doesn't lack staff. There is always someone eyeing up your last mouthful do they can clear your plate. It's almost as if they don't have enough plates to continue a whole service. I really don't understand venues that have such a large amount of staff but you still order and pay at the bar. It would easily be managed by well trained floor staff to take your order at the table.

Why would anyone even visit this place? It is beyond me! I find the food to be quite basic and somewhat overpriced. The service is good here...the girls do a wonderful job, but the atmosphere itself is nothing special and whenever I dine here I try to stick to something very plain to avoid any stuff-ups.
