Pacino's - Toolooa

It's great to see the buffet back in action. The food was excellent, with a nice variety of delicious options that were anything but boring. The shrimp were among the best I've had, and the beef steak for $5 was exceptional. The restaurant is spacious.

We do not live in Gladstone and were in the mood for a buffet meal, but were surprised by the prices. The cost of the meal and drinks were high. The restaurant was mostly empty, with only two other groups present. It's no surprise given the prices. It wasn't worth the cost, especially for non-members, who had to pay even more. The menu did not specify the higher prices for non-members, and we specifically asked for a Hawaiian pizza but were told by the waiter that it had to be ordered from the kitchen.

Our Mother's Day dinner at Encore was definitely one to remember. The atmosphere was festive and the food was delicious with a wide variety of options to choose from. The salad bar was fresh and offered many different choices, but the desserts were the standout. The selection of jellies, cheesecakes, mousse, fresh fruit salad, and soft serve ice cream was top-notch. The service from the staff was very nice, they were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning. Cheers!

Overall a good buffet, a large selection of food and value ratio. onkel nick contained the rib eye as extra for only $8,90 and it was massive.

I normally like buffets and the best thing about this one was the prawns. Unfortunately two of the main meat dishes were lamb which I personally don’t like but the lamb shanks probably looked the best option. I found myself eating from the salad bar...although others in the group had soup followed by hot mains. The corned beef looked very dry but no one tried it so it may have been okay. The deserts were plentiful and stand out choice appeared to be cheesecake but was apparently quite bland. Safe ice cream and good lolly choices for toppings seemed the preferred way to go. Room for improvement although staff were attentive.
