To the parents of two young boys Today, while we were eating outside Vapiano at Orion with our baby, two boys started throwing paper balls at us. At a family with a BABY. We actually approached them a couple of times to tell them to stop. Instead of showing any remorse, they flat-out denied it and even waved at us to mock and annoy us further. The smaller kid even said, how’s your baby? Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. I don’t know who their parents are, but please have a serious word with them. This is not “kids being kids.” It’s dangerous, disrespectful, and shows a complete lack of manners. What if one of those is a rock and hits my baby? What if they think it’s acceptable to treat other people this way? We left shocked and angry. Parents, teach your children accountability and empathy. This type of behaviour is unacceptable in our community, and it will only get worse if it’s ignored.

It's impressive and wonderful, a very large and beautiful shopping center with a design of streets with shops on both sides. There is a playground and a swimming pool for children, trees everywhere, if you have small children, they will love to play and exercise here, if you need a place to eat, there are many restaurants here, if you have time to shop, you can spend the whole day exploring and shopping and when you need to rest, there will be many beautiful, relaxing and natural spaces for you to recover and find peace.

Family environment has all you need in the one place, Mall, Dinner, Lunch Shops Parks recreational activities or leisurely relaxing All Natural surroundings Don't forget open markets

Family friendly atmosphere and a good variety of shops. Love the Xmas decorations. Very festive. Some tables and umbrellas near the fountain would creative a lovely Piazza through the summer months.

I love coming here with my friends and spending lots of time with them either shopping, swimming, eating, or watching a movie I would always come here with my friends or family to spend time with them and even have barbecues. I have had lots of fun memories with my friends here

A One-Stop Destination for Shopping, Dining, and Family Fun! This place has it all—endless shops, great activities, and something for everyone! Whether you're grabbing groceries, browsing for essentials, or just enjoying a leisurely stroll, you’ll find plenty to do. The dining options are fantastic, with heaps of delicious food choices, and it’s super kid-friendly too! Parking is convenient, with options both on the ground level and underground. Just a heads-up: the underground parking has a single entry/exit point, so keep an eye out for the way out. Other than that, navigating the mall is a breeze. Best of all, it’s a true one-stop spot—you can shop, dine, run errands, and even handle your banking, all in one trip. Highly recommended!

Lots of Shops, but I get lost here. Plenty of parking undercover & outside. For value quick take away, I can certainly recommend Sushi Hub in front of Coles.✔️😋Definitely worth a visit 😀

Awesome park, cameras for safety, family and pet friendly, water park for kids, great walking tracks, shopping centre across the road.

I live nearby and often come here — it’s a perfect spot for kids to cool off during the summer. The environment is clean and comfortable, and the facilities are well-maintained and not too old. It’s truly a great place to let the kids play and have fun!

Had PAMA springfest here and good entertainment and space.

I mainly visit here to walk my dog. The gardens are so inviting and it's wonderful to be able to walk along side the stream, and let my dog have a play in the running water (on leash). As part of the gardens, there are picnic and BBQ areas, and a wonderful water play space. There is a great little cafe, which is dog friendly. I also have gone for walks through the University which adjoins the gardens. It is a wonderful place to restore your body and soul in nature.

Nice splash pad and pool /lagoon. Fun public markets in the park once a month.

great outdoor area, but the young teen boys on the electric bikes and electric scooters have been harassing the womans workout program on a wendesday afternoon and the pokemon go players on the weekends and wednesday afternoons since april this year. please do something about them. they also do donuts on the dirt and it picks up dirt and could affect pokemon go players and other visitors with asthma. please do something. it got to the point where they threatened the womans workout coach by saying they would punch her and one of the adults from the pokemon go group had to step in.

If your looking for a playground that has water features for the kids to play and have fun as well as all the latest park equipment for kids then you need to go to ‘Robelle Domain’. It’s a beautiful park which is situated near the Orian Shopping Centre. Make a day of it as there is ample of greenery to have a picnic with beautiful scenery as well as barbecue facilities. Really great place for the kids to have fun, kids to get a little wet if they chose to and just a relaxing place for us parents to watch over the kids.

What a great space. Nice easy boardwalks so easily accessible. Entry is just a voluntary gold coin donation in a box at the gate. Lots of animals I didn't expect to see like dingo's and a wombat, even a wedge tail eagle. There is also a free flight aviary you can walk around and there were so many birds in there. Then, just a short walk across the road to the cafe for coffee and lunch.

Just wanted to get out, and get some fresh air. And this place has been on my to visit list. And I am very pleased, that I decided to come here. It is a very pleasant place. And haveing, animals and birds to see was just a bonus. A little busy, as the school holidays are on. But I will definitely be suggesting this place to others for a visit

For somewhere, that is free and educational. It's actually quite a lovely place. Very family, friendly, great for children.And people in wheelchairs. If you have a very slow pace group.This place is perfect for you.Even a little spot to have your lunch

Amazing adventure, free (😍) and perfect experience. Really nice place to enjoy with family, picnic area, safety, nice animals. Trust me, you'll enjoy. 😊

I really liked the place, it's very simple, but I think it's worth going once and getting to know it and if you live nearby it's even a cool place to go more often, it has many different animals, it has a cute aviary, a cute mini farm and there's a place to see two nocturnal animals which is very interesting too.

Less variety of Australian animals compared to previous visit. A number of the display areas had no animals. They installed some cover over walkways due to bats roosting in the centre. Some of the boards in the walkway have rotted so are a tripping hazard. Don't come too early as they are cleaning some of the enclosures and animals are elsewhere.

Such a precious find. Incredibly lucky to have this so close to us. They have a fantastic reading trial for the 4-8 year olds, Aussie animals that are well taken care of and a fantastic day out. Thank you Ipswich ❤️

It's a huge park full of trees and flowers with beautiful landscape. Car parking is allowed inside the park hence there is no problem for parking. In winter the park looks really colourful and elegant. The water bodies, Nature Centere with birds and animals, Green Houses with tropical plants, vast lawns, cafe and washrooms make the park more attractive for all. Social gatherings, photo shoot sessions can be arranged here nicely.

A wonderful free activity to take the kids too. Really lovely animal sanctuary and beautiful cafe with amazing food options. Plenty of parking and lovely green spaces to enjoy.

We visited early on a Friday morning around 5:30am to photograph the full jacaranda blooms. The area was practically empty at that time, which made it perfect for peaceful photography. The Lions Lookout itself feels a bit outdated and could definitely use some renovation. Some of the signage also looks worn and could be refreshed. It’s a small park overall, and we wouldn’t make a special trip just to visit—except during jacaranda season when it’s truly worth it.

I was looking for a place to go for a walk after lunch. And this place was suggested to me a while ago. I was surprised to find an area, that had animals and birds on display. And this definitely made my walk a lot more relaxing, and enjoyable. There is a playground forchildren,and plenty of parkland to enjoy picnic. A very enjoyable experience

Came today for a family breakfast and the two girls who are on staff this morning are exceptional. Their service is wonderful and has made the experience a joy. Food and coffee is great too, which is always a plus. Thanks ladies for making our day.

Great place to visit The animals were amazing to look at. Great job in the upkeep of this park.

A beautiful park especially when the Jacarandas are in bloom as they are now. Plenty of facilities, parking , shade trees and a great little cafe situated in the centre of the park. It will be a 5 star when they decide to remove the stinky and noisy bats that you need to wear a hat as pooing on one's head isn't fun. If you take your beloved canine, please don't let them lick or eat anything as bat excretion is harmful ( deadly,) to your dog. If you can cope with that that then do visit.

I recently visited Grill’d, a place famous for its wide variety of burgers. Tried the vegetarian garden burger, which was not only delicious but also incredibly fresh. The presentation of the burger was impressive, showing great attention to detail. I also had their potato chips, which were freshly prepared, crispy, and served in a generous portion—definitely a tummy-filling experience. The service at Grill’d was excellent too. The staff were friendly, quick, and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. The overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming, which added to the enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended!

Staff is friendly but it did take a while for our orders to arrive. They have service water and we were seated quickly. The burgers are good and fairly priced. We got sliders as well which are okay, but the buns are too dry. Would be great if same bun option as burger is available. We had the chips variety, the sweet potato and regular chips are done well but the zucchini chips were sloppy. Not sure if our order wasn’t done well or that’s just how it is since it was first time and perhaps last time we’re getting zucchini chips.

Burgers are nice and fresh. A tad on the expensive side but very tasty. Staff are pleasant and friendly. Some light music or a TV's might help with atmosphere

First time at Grill'd today for dinner with a mate. We were quickly seated by a friendly young man who gave us an adequate rundown of the ordering process. We kept things simple, ordering a burger each (panini x 2, sweet chilli chicken and plant-based patty vegetarian), along with a side of their 'best ever' chips. Both burgers were pretty good, and I quite enjoyed mine. My mate did comment that his burger was plenty of salad but light on the meat. He still gave it a thumbs-up though. The chips, as per the Grill'd boast, were excellent; well seasoned, crunchy outside, fluffy and creamy inside. The premises are pretty cool, with a diner (booths included) vibe. Service was okay but limited. The interaction with staff, once seated, was restricted to removal of plates and a thank you from us. No enquiry as to our experience, and no farewell as we left the store. On an aside, and to support an older review regarding housekeeping/cleanliness, a sauce container was dropped in the middle of the floor near the entrance/service counter, leaving a sizeable dollop of sauce. After 10 minutes of multiple staff members walking past and around it, my mate left the table and cleaned it up himself, primarily as this was an accident waiting to happen. Even then, no acknowledgement from a single staff member. Overall, other than the very young staff needing some development and experience, this is a solid business with good quality meals. I had a positive experience and would not hesitate to return.

Ordered delivery. Had an issue with the driver who works through Door Dash (no fault of the restaurant). Contacted the store and the owner was so polite and understanding. We couldn’t be more grateful for how efficient and kind the team at Springfield is. The food was delicious as usual.

5 ⭐️s all the way! Courteous, welcoming & prompt service. Mix this with great healthy food, perfect lunch spot. Recommend 10/10

Ate at Grille’d had two staff come to me twice to ask if I was ok , which was fine but the third time the waiter asked if I was done eating when I was clearly not done, but I choose to give him the plate and left. I really feel like I was being racially discriminated against as I was the only person of colour in restaurant at the time. And the only one to get that type of treatment. It really broke my heart because I love grille’d d and this not the first grille’d d restaurant I have been to and I was never treated like this at previous grille’d restaurants.

Have been here many times. Great place to catch up with friends for some lunch . We had a chicken Caesar salad and a ham and salad sandwich. Both were delicious 🤤. Only one thing that was a bit disappointing was the bread on the sandwich was definitely not fresh. The filling was great. Look, I think I will over look it this time because it’s normally pretty good. The staff were really helpful. Service is always good.

The staff is super friendly and helpful, the location and view also great. The iced chocolate and coffee were also good. However, I wouldn’t recommend the carrot cake muffin, the dough is fine and it’s nice that they utilise various spices instead of just cinnamon, but the icing just doesn’t match and tastes a bit strange.

Demi, Miranda, the young bloke, (sorry didn't ask his name; next time) and team, were welcoming, down to earth, provided country hospitality and delicious well priced hot choccy with marshmallows and melting moment cookie, yum! They have an extensive food and drink menu. I give them 6 stars and a beautiful park to look out on from the side deck seating area or any part of the cafe deck.

Queens Park Cafe & Kiosk is a lovely spot for a casual outing. The location is perfect—right in the park, with plenty of greenery and space to relax. The café offers a good selection of food and drinks, from light snacks to hearty meals, all reasonably priced. Service is friendly and welcoming, and the outdoor seating makes it great for families and kids. It’s also very convenient to grab something quick from the kiosk while enjoying a walk in the park. Overall, a great place to enjoy good food in a beautiful, relaxing setting.

Nice looking place but dont expect cheap food, everything is like bloody expensive, $30 for a bloody steak burger. not somewhere I'll come again, too rich fir a pensioner. And this is $7.50 worth of chips, lucky if its 1 potato very disappointed.

Went here on the weekend and spent $100 for a meal for 4 people. The service was good and food came out extremely fast. I tried to get some toast with two sides but they don’t do side with toast. Weird. So I added it to another meal on the table and got it on a different plate. First time ever I couldn’t order toast with sides at a cafe. $4 for a side of beans that was less than a tablespoon of beans (see pic on my saucer with teaspoon). What is that about?

We came a long way to visit the area and have a take away lunch from this cafe. For $30 we were absolutely appalled with the size of the “Fisherman’s Basket”. One small piece of fish, two calamari, less than a palm size of chips and a small bland salad which included two old pieces of tomato. Highly disappointed and shocked at the cost for a measly sized meal. Do not recommend.

Urgent Concern Inappropriate Conduct by Security Staff. An extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate experience that occurred tonight, 1st August at around 8:32 PM, at Riverlink IPSWICH. After work, my partner and I visited Kmart to buy kitchen appliances. We both urgently needed to use the restroom, and since our home is about an hour away, we couldn’t wait. The female toilets appeared unavailable, so we used the unisex/staff toilet together briefly. Both of us had our hands full with items. I placed some of mine in the sink, but my partner continued holding his. I helped him for a moment while he used the toilet to avoid placing things on the floor, given the conditions. While inside, a male security officer suddenly pushed the door open without knocking or warning not once, but TWICE. He then said only one person is allowed at a time, though there were no signs to indicate this, and the restroom had no lock. We were left shocked and embarrassed by how it was handled. It felt invasive, unprofessional, and frankly, unsafe especially if it had been me using the toilet at the time. The lack of respect for privacy, especially from a male officer, was deeply uncomfortable and entirely avoidable. We felt dismissed, possibly underestimated due to our age, and treated without the basic courtesy everyone deserves in a public space. I hope this incident is taken seriously. Proper signage, a functioning lock, and better training in respectful communication are clearly needed to prevent something like this from happening again.

Watch for stalls posing as charities, if you read their id it will be a non charity, and there debit agreement says they take 98% of every dollar you donate for 12 months, then 25% for the next 3 years

Good variety of grocery shops, clothing shops and general retail stores. Great quality restaurants and a large food court with plenty of seating, inside and out, with the view of the Bremer river. Place kind of smells (from the river) and a mix of sketchy people. Plenty of parking options and easy to access via public transport.

The shopping centre is easy to access with plenty of parking. My only criticism is they need more Information boards to assist customers with locating stores more easily.

All thw shops you need, but a special shout out to the Jamica Blue Cafe for amazing food and fast service! The Turkish delight coffee shake is a blast too!!!!!

It's a funny centre, quite spread out with the cinemas down one end and a big box retailers miles away down the other end. Crap food court, but awesome cheap shops.

Not enough retail shops. Also need a lift beside escalator middle of shopping centre. Stairs continually out of action. Build up and give us more choice.

A bloody ripper concert by Ian Moss, acoustic version, also got to see Kasey Chambers and a new fella who was great who goes by the name of Dingo. Music sounded great in the civic centre. Beer prices were a little high, although overall we had a great night and it's a great venue

Nice theatre in the middle of Ipswich which often put on quality musical theatre shows. Floor seating is flat rows (not tiered), but the stage is raised pretty high so even the back of the floor seats still have good views. They need more female toilets though, the queue was very long before the show. And its street parking fill up quickly, but it was pretty easy to find available street parking 5-10 minutes away.

Went and saw a musical here was very good. Hard to find parking but nice place would return if there was something good showing

Staff were lovely, seemed happy and cheerful both venue and Cafe staff. Clean and tidy and easily accessible

Great performance space. Staff helpful and friendly. Organised seating plan. The seats were fantastic. A welcome change from theatre that have hard plastic chairs.

All good except maybe a large car Park needed on site. Never had to walk too far anyway. The sound, lighting, seating and service seems fine.

I have recently been to the Civic Centre twice. It is good for concerts but the seating is terrible. I understand that the Stalls area is multi purpose but I could not get comfortable while sitting in that area.

Just had a takeaway single shot espresso from Rafter & Rose—aromatic with fruity notes, crema was okay. Super busy spot but staff were polite, and the interior design is real nice. Great little place!

My first visit today with my sister to this amazing cafe. We both had the Rafter burger and a Matcha latte (also my first) The burger would be the most delicious I've ever tasted. Every part of the burger was so tasty. I loved that it wasn't served with chips, we were full and satisfied without them. 10/10 Please check them out, you won't be disappointed The only thing i can say is the toilet isn't wheelchair accessible, but many cafes aren't. In saying that, its the quirkiness of the toilet I really like, flowers, plants and cool signs.

An ad-hoc visit for 10:30am brunch. Amazing ambience and atmosphere, and the service was amazing! The barista was passionate (you could see it in her attention to detail) and the team were super helpful and attentive. We ordered the Waffles, a Kids Cheeseburger, Bircher Muesli, Eggs Benny and Brekkie burger. Food was great, but nothing that took me to the 5 star mark, but it was very enjoyable. The setting and decor was very calming and chill, inviting a relaxing meal with the family. Definitely worth a visit for a coffee and meal. Will try their lunch menu next time

Beautiful Place, Food was tasty, but pricey. $60 for 2 people 1 dog :) We enjoyed our time. It is dog friendly, and theres puppacinos and dog snacks :) The thing that mad me smile the most was a staff member asking if I would like a blanket :)

Ordered 2 eggs Benedict and a kids bacon and eggs. Waited 40 minutes for all food to arrive. Food was all cold and had been sat for a while. Eggs were not runny, hollandaise sauce tasted like vinegar and was very watery. General observations: waitress was rushing tables to leave after they had finished their food. Waitress was seating larger groups at tables asking them to sit to one end so she could seat someone on the other end but the group would easily take up the entire table. Toilet up the alleyway not far from tables where people were dining. Not sure I would like to smell someone having a dump while eating my overcooked eggs. Poor experience, poor food, coffee okay.

Rafter & Rose never fails! Delicious food, great coffee, and such a cosy vibe. My go-to is the house-made caramel—so good! Always a fave spot in Ipswich. 🌿☕🍰

Wish I had of gotten some photos of inside and the food cabinet. All the slices/cakes/treats were mostly Gluten Free, I ended up taking 4 different ones home, they were all delicious. My mother and myself are coeliac so got the toastie GF with a coffee for breakfast and it was so good. Another reason for picking this place was I only drink Macadamia mylk and they serve it, and the coffee was so good. We got in early prior to my daughter’s Eisteddfod competition and managed a stop for coffee and cake before heading back to the GC. Highly recommended and we will be back again next time 🤍

Nicholas Street Precinct is always buzzing with fun events and festivals—there’s always something happening! 🎉 Great food spots to choose from and heaps of parking, which makes it super easy to visit. Such a great space in the heart of Ipswich! 💛🍔🅿️

Great community 'hub', regular events and markets. Great stores (ice cream is a must!). Parking is great. Free for most events, or very, very cheap (I've never been charged!) Library and Children's library, as well as the council building. Family friendly!

Dog Friendly Precinct with great grassed areas to relax and listen to some tunes! Lots of great food businesses too!

Took grandchildren to see dinosaurs. We all loved it. Shady places to eat our picnic. Saw the reptile show in library. Great day out

Ipswich Handmade Markets Great Food Drinks and Stalls

Took my grandson to free dinosaur display. It was well set up and heaps of activities to keep kids entertained. Well organised. Wish brisbane City Council would provide cost free activities for families during school holidays. Even the kids' library was so much fun . Thank you to all involved.

Great facilities for homeless/ visitors... Plenty of space for festivals & activites For local comunity Good choice of food Shops within easy walk..close to railway & transport/ parking...close to libary & walkway to larger shops...senic & friendly meeting place

This is the only cinema currently in Ipswich. The viewings are limited particularly cult or limited release, here you'll only view mostly mainstream flicks. It's an excellent facility with great member deals and great theatres like the lounge with food options. My issue is the poor service from disinterested teenage employees. At times you'll get great service from a young person who actually looks you in the eye but it's rare. On my last visit the front ticket counter was so filthy with drink and popcorn remnants that I actually said "that's disgusting" but the guy that served me just shrugged instead of wiping the area. Couldn't even stand at the counter as there was no where clean to place the food I wanted to purchase, I stood to the side as it was so filthy. The toilets are also disgusting as no one goes in to check between movies. Toilet paper everywhere and soiled seats. A real let down. Neurodiverse✅ 😎 It's dark and loud, audio isolaters help if you're particularly sensitive to noise, but it's great for Neuro peeps. Access✅👩🏼‍🦽all abilities parking and accessibility is fantastic. Sealed pathways, a lift and areas for seating with mobility equipment. Spacious.

I don't get out much these days however I decided to go see "Superman", the movie was reasonably good however the Limelight Cinemas were excellent !! The place was clean, not overpriced and had that new car feel. I have to make special mention of one of the staff though, Charlie. Quintessentially one of the nicest people I have met, his service and manners were exemplary. Thank you Charlie for making the day memorable.

Very nice cinema. Tickets are not the expensive and the cinema is pretty much always clean. They have also changed the layout of the ground floor and added more pizazz to it which looks good. A pretty nice cinema 👍👍

Avoid at all costs. Limelight Ipswich was the worst cinema experience of my life. We will never return, following our alleged “Gold Class” experience. The staff were really rude. None of the food my family ordered arrived, and when we asked why, we got attitude from the staff. We were told it must be our fault for “not going to the counter” despite going to the counter on arrival and specifically telling them we had ordered food online and presenting our tickets when we ordered drinks. As the credits rolled, some of our food started arriving, and it became apparent that it was inedible. We reported all the problems to the manager, who offered no reason and just refunded our food while grunting at us and insisting we had to pay for the ruined movie. While he was doing this, a line of other customers were waiting to complain and demand refunds behind us. Sadly with the new cinema competition in Ipswich, I give Limelight a matter of months before it will be closed, and I suspect tonight was the nail in the coffin.

Not as pricey as other cinemas and I'm always able to find a carpark. Staff are nice and the snack prices are reasonable as cinema snack prices can get.

Booked for a 10am movie. The place doesn't open until 9:45am. Limited time to get tickets (even when brought online prior), food/drinks, go to the toilet, etc, before it starts. Was busy with a few movies starting at/around the same time. Other than that, it was a good experience. Staff friendly, not freezing inside, clean. Had normal seats (not recliners etc) but still comfortable. Tickets $30 for 1x adult and 2x children.

I’ve recently moved back to the area and went to watch a movie in limelight’s gold session at 7pm. I was really disappointed when I attempted to get another drink at 8pm when everything was closed down and there were no staff visible. Even though I could hear them laughing out loud back, I rang the small bell and someone attended. I asked they said they were shut and I should try the front, I walk out to the front section and there is no one to be seen. However another customer was waiting I asked how long she had been waiting for without service, she said 10 minutes. I then proceeded to walk back into the so called gold lounge section and ring the bell again, telling them that there was no staff at the front and someone else was waiting. The staff member replied with just be closed as well. Very poor considering it’s there premium session, guess I’ll be going to event at Orion from now on.

Twice ordered burgers delivered. This is the second time they have sent a burger with undercooked meat. I also paid $6 for sauces with potato gems, so $12 later they are the most expensive potato gems I've ever had, with no sauce whatsoever. The only bonus was I ordered a double which I did share to replace my wifes patty. So credit where credit is due. I had this bad experience with my food and it did put me off them alot, however why not give a business another chance, and for that matter be fair. I gamely ordered a double burger last night. I like the sauce they put on their burgers and when I first tried them I could have had one of their burgers daily, but in saying that they are a tiny bit pricey. Last night couldn't fault what I had delivered. Properly cooked and tasty as so I can't just tell people they are horrible cos when they get it spot on they are well worth it. Thanks to the team, well presented and back to very nice.

Have dined at Ruby Chews riverlink plenty of times over the years. Always enjoyed the food up until tonight. Seems they have changed their patties on the burgers. Tasted like the patties you get from the BBQ packs at Coles. Wasn’t enjoyable at all. Service was also very slow, even though we were the only ones there.

Have been coming here for about 2 years, the quality was fantastic. However in the past couple of months I've been reluctant to come here as each time the wait is beyond ridiculous and the food is mediocre. The portions are smaller, sauce becoming less on the loaded tots. And the burgers left our hands covered in oil. Not just a little greasy drip but absolutely covered, it's almost like it was used a marinade. *You should be advised if you're going to be waiting over 30mins, I don't mind the standard 15-20mins. But 30mins when the store is pretty quiet is not the vibe.

Absolutely disgraceful service and attitude. It’s Thursday night, arguably the busiest night of the week. Not sure who’s idea it was to put 5 juniors on, not a brain cell between them. Went up to check on progress after 30 minutes, told it wouldn’t be long. After 45 minutes they realised they hadn’t processed the order or started cooking. Absolutely useless. Will never be back.

If you're looking for clean, retro aesthetics, and delicious made to order burgers, then Ruby Chews is the place for you. Amazing, juicy in-house burgers that taste better with every bite. Incredible shakes that leave you wanting more. Service with a signature smile, and did I mention the ice cream? Mix and match your favourite flavour and toppings, to create something devilishly delightful. Everything was absolutely divine, right down to the fries. The staff were excellent, extremely friendly and happy to help in any way they could. I cannot recommend Ruby Chews enough, it has set the bar for burgers in Ipswich.

Walked in at 1105 for a burger, he told me to get out we are not Open, when it Cleary states 11 opening hours, staff members was so rude, must hate his job, I will never eat here again.

Very yummy , very friendly staff , nice chill atmosphere, highly recommended

Can I just say. Yuck! I’m so sorry but the bacon was hardly even warmed up. It was raw…. Poached eggs were very overly done. And the holumi cheese was under cooked and not even crispy. Avocado was brown and tasted funny! Never buying again.

Just ordered $60 uber from here for x3 stale hotdog buns with chicken and gravy on them that I instantly spat out , how hard is it to keep fresh bread ? Yuck your thick shake was ok . I took a photo before I put what you guys call $60 worth of 3 x stale hotdog buns with chicken and gravy in the bin , dosnt look like the photo that you guys advertised does it? don’t be fooled by the soggy bread even with gravy on the bread it was still as hard as concrete ,just because your called retro diner doesn’t mean the food needs to be from the past too, I’ve seen other people have similar bread issues with mould and undercooked food, and I can also see how the owner defends them selfs every time but there’s zero excuse for this in today’s age saying we didn’t know is not good enough ( quality control) will fix this . Buy fresh bread locally don’t use a distribution company. If you wouldn’t eat it you shouldn’t serve it I was gonna call but know one can take criticism these days so this will do .hopefully your restaurant starts to do better

Ordered a BB Breakfast Burger through Uber Eats from the Retro Diner, and the roll was moldy. I noticed after I took a bite, so I really hope I dont get sick! I feel like mold is definitely something that should be checked before a roll is used, especially as its pretty obvious! Uber has given me a refund but im disappointed it was sent at all.

Food was amazing. I got the Don't Cheddar Me burger gluten free as I am celiac. They couldn't do fries but they gave me tortilla chips instead which were fine. I also got a Latte Frappe which was amazing also. Well priced and a real retro vibe with the food served in baskets and old school decor. Awesome place to dine.

Chose the spot as it looked nice, the experience however was less than average, especially on Mother’s Day. We asked for scrambled eggs with the bruschetta and received poached eggs. The bread was crispy however and was overall good. The milkshake was average, the mango tango daiquiri was also average. The French toast banana bread was good and a different experience. There were some squished strawberries as well which did not look appealing. The customer service was of very low quality, very basic and unenthusiastic. There was also a long wait time to take orders as well as to get any food or drinks. Inside the store is interesting and has a character however is very hot.

We visited at 1pm and it was empty when we walked in. Our food came out in a reasonable time frame. Steak sandwich with the lot - This was good, but nothing amazing great. A little tasteless if I’m honest? The steak was very chewy which made the very massive sandwich even harder to eat. The chips were good though - nice, hot and crispy. Could’ve used a little tub of sauce. Banana smoothie - I’m confused by this. It was served in a milkshake cup and had artificial banana flavouring (it was bright yellow and fragrant), it was thin like a milkshake but it also had chunks of banana. It wasn’t bad but really not a banana smoothie. The place was reasonably clean and tidy, although the menus were sticky and felt dirty. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit again but I wouldn’t be opposed if I was in the area.

Ordered the pancakes both times I came here and they were both a little different each time but delicious nonetheless! Everything is made from fresh. Definitely come here for breakfast/brunch/lunch on an empty stomach to make the most of the menu!

First time exploring the streets of Ipswich, and I thought I would try the food here.. Upon entry, the atmosphere was great.. the service was amazing and the chairs.. OMG.. so comfortable!! The steak was cooked to perfection.. I have had steak at many places, and this would be at the top of my list 😋 The trio of dips were delicious, and I am looking forward to coming back again for another visit soon! 10/10

Fantastic pub, how did we not know it was there? The renovation is the best we have experienced in Ipswich! Great food, fun atmosphere, live band in the carpark, we will definitely be back for more!

The renovation is looking great but sadly the $20 lunch meal deal was on the southern side of disappointingly average. The southern fried chicken, chips and salad took an excruciatingly long time to arrive, well past the time our other table guests had finished their meal. We were told that it’s a new menu item and the team were out back ensuring that they got it right and the chicken was cooked. The breading was thick and over done but lacked any flavour. The chicken looked large but was mostly bone which was disappointing. The salad didn’t have any dressing that I could detect but the chips were ok. Sadly the gravy was cold and again, without any seasoning for flavour. If I go back there, I’ll either be ordering the bangers and mash or lamb pie as this was a complete miss.

Was a lovely welcome and service was great friendly and helpful. My salad came and was tasty and filling. "Pumpkin Feta Chickpea " Loads of parking at rear of Hotel.

Fantastic. Great menu. Food is outstanding. $20 meals are big fresh tasty. Food is well presented, fresh tasty and 5 star. Great. new head chef has brought quality and fantastic produce. Cocktails delicious. Beer is cold and good range. All over Great service, lovely atmosphere, fantastic food. 5 stars On-site parking. Dietary concerns well marked on menu

If I could put no stars it would be more real. Went there last night to eat in the restaurant and celebrate a birthday. The trivia night speaker was playing through out the restaurant very loudly. We ask the casual manager who normally works downstairs in the dungeon (his words) to see if it can be turned off, he turned the music off which made the trivia guy louder. Just when we think it’s stops the noise of him comes thru again. We waited well over an hour for our food. Advertised pizza night and no option to order pizza on the app you need to order. No toilet paper in men’s or disable toilets. 3 female wait staff trying their best to help us with our orders and the loud trivia noise. The chicken parmy was uncooked, complained and got a refund. We bought a cake to eat there but we took it home we couldn’t stand being there any longer. Never going back again.

Atmosphere can be ok on the right night with live music IF they have it. Heavily priced drinks and extremely priced food. $12 for a very small serve of chips

A pleasing selection of choices from start to end. Great service and friendly suggestions on food/drink matching. Very informative menu. Good food, good times.

Delicious meals.,Pork belly entree was delish,swordfish main was great too,beef rib was huge sauce was yum coleslaw a little spicy but went well with meal. Service was great too. Recommend Supermodel beer.will Definitely be back again.

Lovely restaurant in an old technical college building. Now has a brewery and a restaurant. Food was amazing as was the service. You can order a beer paddle to taste their brewery beers. We’ll be back!

Why go to Brisbane for a fancy lunch or dinner when you could go to Dovetail?? The staff are so pleasant, the surroundings and atmosphere on point. And the food you ask? Amazing! Go out and enjoy an amazing day or night!

We went here on Wednesday, last minute, for a mini celebration as we had some good news. The food was diabolically bad and hugely overpriced. The fact that I am posting this publicly only serves as how terrible it was. The kids burger was a slider (which was fine) but the patty was the size of a meatball and only took up about 50% of the slider. This cost $12. The kids pizza was equally tiny - toddler sized really, and really helpfully came out last, about 10 minutes after the first kids meal and 5 mins after the adult meal. The sharing platter my husband and I paid nearly $70 for was also terrible. Overcooked and dry chicken wings, sausages wrapped in bacon so overcooked it was black and splintered off into shards when bitten. A total disappointment overall and safe to say we would encourage anyone considering visiting to steer clear!

We had a lovely meal which was generous and beautifully cooked and presented. We look forward to returning to try some more of your delicious food. Service was spot on.

The reviews are accurate for this place. Warm and friendly staff, lovely setting on the deck, good coffee great food!!! Fresh juice would just make everything perfect. It’s hard to get warm genuine service in Brisbane so to see it in Ipswich is fantastic!. And don’t forget to tip the staff they’ve been through hell the last 18 months and without them there is no dining out. It’s vending machines only. I will be back for lunch or dinner soon. Thank you Dovetails

The Rail Workshop's history is presented in a way that is very well done. As you walk around, you can see, explore, and interact with the exhibits from start to finish. It seems that there are always special events happening at this museum, which means there's always something new to discover.

Recently visited the Queensland Rail Workshop Museum, and it was an incredible experience! The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Queensland’s railway history, with a great collection of vintage trains and railway artifacts. It’s a must-visit for anyone interested in trains or looking for a fun and educational outing!

Great place for a visit for all ages. Lots of trains, history, a bit of science and a playground. If attending during an outdoor event (Thomas the train, food vans etc.) bring a hat as it can get hot. You can also pack your own picnic!

We also went on the sunshine express, loved it. I would take a picnic lunch for Grantchester station, they had a hotdog food truck. Donut can and coffee van. Good enough but would prefer different food.

Amazing things to see and learn about. Allow plenty of time to look around. Such a huge collection. Huge train set . Keep ds would love it and large key ds play areas.

Very good for the kid with young age. Only short drive from Brisbane. I went after the event and not many people here.

The railway museum is beautiful! We went with the whole family and all thoroughly enjoyed! The model train was extensive and so well put together. The trains and all in the information on them were great to see. The kids area is the best part as a family, the kids enjoyed for a long time! It’s all pram accessible, and was nice and cool inside.

You can enjoy a quiet walk alongside the Bremer River. Most of the pedestrian ramps were closed, possibly for renovation. It would be a nice place to visit once the pedestrian ramps are open once again. There is a free car park which can be accessed from Bremer Street. Toilets are available at the car park.

A nice place to have picnic or take your children to enjoy the playground around the park and stroll through the walkways.

A nice walkway with plenty of potential, although there were lots of maintenance barriers and unfortunately lots of rubbish during our time of visiting. Dogs are allowed on the walk on leash, and there’s plenty of options for roadside parking along the platform walk. There’s a large children’s playground at one side of the walkway, and toilet blocks at either side.

Fantastic Park along the river. There's a great walk alongside, with lots of benches to rest and watch the river go by. The kids play areas look amazing! There are BBQs and shelters with benches and tables and water fountains and toilets at both ends of the park. Really great, with lots of shade, too.

Great place to relax and take time out from the hustle & bustle of daily life. Pretty & peaceful. Fab playground & BBQ picnic area for the kids & familes and a little water park. Good walking track. Night lighting too. Something for everyone. Awesome views

A lovely easy walk along the river side on a boardwalk. Water findings along the way and a covered bbq area and playground.

It's a good place to come. Locals can be rude, so afternoon after 4 o'clock is best. Quiet, even with a main road overhead and a major shopping center nearby. Pet friendly, too, provided they remain on a leash. Overall, not bad.

Well, first time at the turf club of Ipswich Didn't disappoint All staff are happy to serve. From dining to bar to stewardship and bookies. The whole package was a lovely experience shared with friends from abroad, and they loved it too.

Horrendous! My husband has a disability parking pass, so they tell us to park in one of the designated spots. We come back 2 hours later to go home, and we are parked in. There's cars parked over the exit and a truck parked over the access to the disabled area. Took an hour for the truck driver to wander back and decide to move it. Terrible organisation. The "complimentary canapes" for owners was 2 party pies or 2 party sausage rolls. Terrible. Will never be back.

Well - what can we say - what a disaster!! First time in a private marquee - most likely never again, if Saturday is an indication of what to expect. As a business we will be reviewing if we would even attend the race day again. Our spend of over $23 000 would get a spectacular event elsewhere. When we first arrived I made myself, as the organiser of our team event, known to the bar staff, asked who was the supervisor etc. The staff has no idea & one in particular was quite unhelpful then & through the day. Our understanding and your coms advised food & beverage package for 5 hours & private marquee area suitable for the number of guests. Marquee Area: 3 bays for 110 people was not sufficient space to easily move around the area. No outside tables & umbrellas - this was expected as tables & umbrellas are available in the general area such as Festival of Horsepower. ( which have a lower cost per ticket) There was no security or checking of people entering the private marquees - people were entering any marquee there wanted looking for drinks & food. Drinks: Service did not start until 11.30 - 1 hrs after the gates opened within 15 minutes - drinks had run out - the bar staff had no idea who was in charge, how to get more drinks or even if drinks were available. by 12.30, there was Vodka, Lime & Soda, no Gin & Tonic, No Vodka & Raspberry. by 1.30 - no bottle beer, no ginger beer or rum for extended times the only non-alcohol drink was lemonade throughout the day - no water!!!! - Where is the responsible service of alcohol when you can't provide water & non-alcoholic drinks and the food provided is not sufficient for the period you are serving alcohol?? Food Well - this is an embarrassment for the catering company & Ipswich Turf Club There were 2 small platters delivered at approx 12 noon containing approx 5-8 pieces each of the following Assorted sushi rolls Rare roast beef on croutons with horseradish cream. Assorted mini quiches Chicken and mushroom filos How was this to feed 110 people I would never know? From 12.45 we received the following - in small platers 2-3 times. Satay chicken skewers - no peanut sauce Lamb koftas with minted yoghurt Later the Aussie beef pies were received, again in small platters with insufficient food for the number of people. Chicken and mushroom filos were not received at all. We have been to Ipswich for over 10 years and never had complaints from our team about the food or drinks. The private marquee was supposed to be something fancy & more upmarket than the general marquees. We had to purchase food from the vendors to ensure our team had sufficient food to eat! We spoke to guests in numerous other private ways, who all have the same issues we did. As did other guests based on online reviews. How can ITC justify the ticket cost of $200+ per head for a private marquee and not provide sufficient, good quality food & the drinks as advertised. One star because I can not give xero!

Had such a great experience at the Ipswich Turf Club! 🙌 The service was top-notch, the staff were so lovely, and the food was absolutely delicious. It’s a fantastic venue for events — everything ran smoothly and the team made the night really enjoyable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place in Ipswich that delivers both great atmosphere and great service 👏

It's a modern 5star venue for a function or event like a birthday party.... Drinks are cold and food is brilliant... There is plenty of parking for a few hundred. Catering For kids and disabled with lift and steps for access Staff are all friendly there is also generally security also on premises Walkways are spacious has both indoor and outdoor seating

We had our wedding reception here in May. I just wanted to share some photo's to show how beautiful it turned out. Carley the events manager was extremely helpful, always available to answer any questions I had. In general amazing value compared to the Brisbane wedding venues and the best value in Ipswich. The staff were lovely and let us party hard :) Thanks again!

Like a country racecourse in the city. Great staff and a friendly vibe. A few more weekend meetings would be fantastic. Member benefits are great.

Hair in burger. Ordered a salad with the kids meal. When I went back to ask why we didn’t receive it, they said they don’t do salads with kids meals - even though it’s on the menu and we paid for it. Their solution was a sprinkle of lettuce in a box.

This is the dirtiest Hungry Jacks I have ever been to. Every single table was filthy, the bin was overflowing, the floor was littered with food and packaging. O mentioned this to the store manager who replied ‘ we have been busy’. My observations was it was quiet. We dined in and upon leaving another customer said to me ‘disgusting isn’t it’. Your store should be reported to the Food Safety Ombudsman for a thorough investigation. Shame on you Hungry Jacks.

Went there twice since moving up here. First time was in store, now it was via drive thru. The large portion of fries is smaller than a small portion. In store i compaint and got a big portion instead, there was no sauce, their excuse was that they ran out of garlic aiolo. They do not communicate about this, they don't give alternatives, they just don't give you anything unless you complain. With the drive thru same thing with the fries again and no sauce at all. Check the fries portions yourself, they squeeze the carton so less fits in. It's done on purpose, the one in Brassal gives way better portions. This is the last time we went to this Hungry Jacks location. Will contact Hungry Jacks Office for this matter aswell.

whenever we go through the drive through we are almost always greeted by someone who clearly hates their job. i asked for the new saucy tenders and they literally put NO sauce on them whatsoever. every time they always mess something up

Review – Hungry Jack’s Booval I recently visited Hungry Jack’s Booval and had a disappointing experience with the drive-thru service. After placing my order, I drove to the service window, which now has a film covering the glass. This made it impossible to see inside, leaving me unsure whether staff were present or aware of me waiting. After several minutes, a young man eventually opened the window to take my payment. The window was then closed again, and I waited a few more minutes until a different staff member opened it briefly to hand me my meal. At no point was there a thank you or any kind of friendly interaction. My main concern is the film-covered glass. While I understand it may have been installed as a precaution against difficult customers, for the majority of us it removes all transparency (literally and figuratively) and makes the service feel unwelcoming. Without being able to see staff working, customers are left wondering what’s happening and whether they’ve been forgotten. I would strongly encourage management to reconsider this setup. A more customer-friendly approach would help restore the sense of service, connection, and courtesy that customers expect from Hungry

I never leave reviews. Especial being fast food, I understand. But tonight at hungry Jacks Booval, train your front staff better. You had a line up at the drive thru so decided to go in. No one waiting in store to order, I stood and waited for 15min. Before I mentioned (hey can you take my order now) she just kept talking orders coming in through the drive thru. To not even get acknowledged, not even “Hey sorry won’t be much longer”, disgusting service. Especially me being the only one waiting. So I only order a large chips, as I was rushing to my job, another 13min later I finally get my order. Large chips with a 28min wait. Worse service I have experienced. Never again.

This place is consistently extremely slow especially around lunch time. Drive thru line all the way out to the road practically and barely moves. Can’t come here on my lunch break anymore as they just don’t make the food quick enough if h.

So, this is what happens when you leave a bad review for pizza hut Ipswich. Apparently this is the "butchers block that I paid $4.50 extra for after deciding to give them another chance after they messed up my last 2 orders.. Be careful if you upset them and have a food allergen, their revenge via giving you the wrong food is clearly more important

Great food for a pizza hut which is saying something, as in the past I have found the brand to be lacking, but this one in particular has given hope as the food tastes good, only exception is the hot chips, they need to be cooked longer, and I'd recomend also earlier opening times for the weekends, as 4pm open on a weekend, what if a family has a gathering or a bday party, it's a good idea to consider.

Just bought tuesday night deal like buy one pizza and second one free. Totally disappointed. Its looking they are selling bread with some topping and sauce .Guys if you charging money from customer atleast give them quality and perfection. So customer will be back .i will never go back again .sorry guys

Wow... 😮 That was an experience.. Ordered a meal delivered within 5km of store. Was told 45mins 🤷‍♂️ ok, it's thursday its gonna be busy... 1hr and almost 15mins later it arrives clinging to the last of its warmth. Margarita the cheapest of the orders had enough room around the edge of the toppings to race some matchbox cars. The supreme was literally cold around the edges and sloppy and not even cooked through in the middle. That's after peeling half of the toppings off of the top of the box.. The spud bites were cold, soggy and stuck to the box also. My wife has contacted the store via a complaints form and we await a response apparently. Have had decent and sometimes not so decent pizza in the past from this store but that was by far the worst experience and someone should be retrained on cooking times as well as a cut off for deliveries to avoid cold/late arrivals. Kicking myself for not grabbing some from the supermarket now. **Update** 6.months later and still no reply to the complaint form not even to say they don't care.. Still haven't been back and if you want a decent pizza go to Domino's at Bundamba. 10x better and fresher.

I am a regular customer since it was in Booval, they maintain very good quality and great customer service. I Always have chk and veg pizzas never disappointed with the taste. Awesome pizzas and highly recommended to this place

My daughter ordered tonight. Paid extra$2 for 10 pieces of pineapple and then there's the Hawaiian that only has cheese in the middle and even the odd piece with no topping at all

WARNING Do not use pizza hut Ipswich, we ordered pizza tonight and when it was delivered it had hair in the pizza, then when I phoned up the call centre they lodged a complaint on my behalf and transferred my call to the store where I spoke with Jayden who, insinuated that I put the hair there and that everyone there wears hair nets, and offered me another pizza so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and drove in there only to find Jayden had nothing to say and WAS NOT WEARING A HAIR NET nor was the manager, I then watched on to see Jayden prepare 2 pizzas without a hair net, I then refused the pizza and phone pizza hut hotline in store infront of the manger who confirmed that hair nets must be worn I then got 2 drinks instead of the pizza even after the manager told me he prepared it himself who also wasnt wearing a hair net, STAY AWAY GO ELSEWHERE, customer service in store was also very poor

I come here often and the staff here are SO lovely and it’s a really nice atmosphere inside, however the menu is quite disappointing and lacks quite abit, I feel like theres alot but like not much at the same time. The 3 pasta options are not great, and having the Spaghetti Bolognese exclusively to the kids menu doesn’t really make sense to me. The carbonara only available during lunch? No pepperoni pizza option? Cheeseburger only available on the lunch and kids menu? Lasagna only available during lunch? Would be great to have them as dinner options aswell.

might go not the lunch specials next time..dissatisfied with fish ..but look 4ward to next time ..clean well presented venue.

Without a doubt the best pork chop I've eaten in a long long time,full off flavour,perfectly cooked and juicey the whole way through. The kids meals were very very good,the cob loaf was an absolute star,the cheeseburger spring rolls whilst hot were if I'm honest a tad bland but dipped in the cob loaf saved them,the Chipotle dip was outstanding. Overall am impressed with the whole experience,staff were helpful and very friendly..

Order food at 7:15 and didn’t receive food. Went up to counter at 8:15 to ask for a refund but was only told to wait for food as they aren’t allowed to do refunds and that nowhere else would do a refund (partner manages a tavern himself and says this is completely false). Other orders on table were below average and not given at the same time (kids meal came LAST!) I was then given a voucher but only for food in the bistro (valid for 1 month), couldn’t even be transferred for credit on my membership. Truly disappointed at such a big facility that can’t perform to its potential!

This is a really good bar & grill to visit with the family. It’s a bit hit or miss on the service whenever you go, other times we’ve waited close to an hour to receive our food but this time was fairly prompt. They have a really delicious plant based section which does really set them apart from other pub style restaurants in Ipswich. You get a really generous big feed for the price you pay so it totally worth it! Would recommend this place.

Although this isn’t our usual place to grab a drink, I found the staff—especially the security—exceptionally polite and helpful, which definitely encourages me to return. The gaming area was maintained well but the machines could have done with a wipe over and I would have appreciated seeing staff nearby in the floor to check if guests needed anything.

I was lucky enough to organise a table of 10 for the Go Pink Luncheon today, was a fantastic event to attend. Congratulations to CSI and your team for the organisation of this event, Walking in the colours, decoration’s, door prizes, raffles, the meal and dessert was really nice (salmon / pork) the team who checked us in to our tables and during the event was fabulous and a special ‘thank you’ to Jayme-Lea who sorted our table for us - this event is close to our hearts and was so important we all sat together. Cheers to CSI, we hope you are going to put together a Christmas event as last years was another excellent event. Thank you Brenda & Ladies.
