The Main Reef - South Boulder

The Main Reef is an old school pub with a first class menu. It's not a flashy, glamorous venue, but where it lacks in looks, the chef makes up for with great tasting meals. I haven't had a bad meal yet. It's reasonably priced as well. The staff are down to earth and happy to have a yarn. Well worth a visit for dinner and a beer. Vegetarian options: The chef can cook up whatever you order. Price per person: A$20–40

We tried the Main Reef Chinese for the first time, takeaway this time hence the atmosphere rating. The food was excellent, we got beef black bean, sweet sour pork, veg omelette and rice. Just like the radio advertisement that boasts the best Chinese in town (big call to make) but they’re bang on! Very tasty food, great service, threw in some prawn crackers. Love it. We will be back that’s for sure. Price per person: A$80–100

Love the food!! So nice Price per person: A$20–40 Food: 5 Service: 5

The Chinese is great, nothing a la carte but if you enjoy westernised Chinese then this is great. Price per person: A$40–60 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Always good going to the main reef tavern part from this time the local in the door way of the tavern started talking racial talk about the black locals and they brought up there should be a culling out on the black like they done in Tasmania . Was a sad night in the end I told them they can talk about that at home instead of in the main reef tavern.
