Spot on feed. Steak was good quality and chef was able to cook a decent blue which is a rarity these days. Bartender Crystal was a dime also, helped with the kids needs and was super helpful with everything we asked for. 10/10. Only issue is the lime and chilli oysters could pack a bit more of a punch this time around but still tasty AF. Keep up the good work.

Ever since the new owners came in here, the quality of the whole place has risen a lot. The kalka used to be cheap and just a forgettable pub. Since the new owners came in, I've been here 2 times, and ordered takeaway twice (I dont normally order takeaway away from a pub). The new chef is really good and makes the best steak I've tasted in rocky. The service is decent, timely, and seem like they actually want to be there now. The prices are good considering the quality, you could pay a lot more around rocky for way worse. Honestly, if you're used to the old way, it was and wondering if it is any good go there sonce the change, It is! It's definitely worth going now and is now one of my top picks around rocky now. Absolute turn around! Well done guys!

Came in on the 25/06 with 6 others at around 7pm. When we went up to order we were informed that the kitchen was severely understaffed and then apologised that the food would take a while. After around 30 minutes someone came over and apologised again and offered a free round of drinks. At the 40 minute mark our meals for 7 people all came out at the same time, was correct and cooked perfectly. We later found out there was only one person in the kitchen that night. Very impressed by the service and professionalism shown by the staff that night. Highly recommend.

We called in after landing from Sunshine Coast and my son recommended the food. Was late? About 8pm and three adults one child, and we had a long drive ahead of us to get home. We were so pleased with every aspect. The food was very good value, and was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked big steaks and very tasty fresh FRESH salad. Chips were cooked in fresh oil and crunchy. Best sweet potato chips I've ever had. There are more gluten free options than not which was fantastic as we have a gluten intolerant person who always struggles to get a decent choice. One person had fish and the batter was perfection. The place it self was slightly dated but beautifully clean and very welcoming. The kids play area had really good toys and the staff was just so happy and genuinely cared that you were happy. I am SO happy I found this place and we will be going there to eat every time we go to Rocky. Especially at that price!!!
