There was a good selection of food including cabinet food. We both had pies which were very good and came out served with tomato sauce. There was an option to have potato and peas with them. The lamington would be the biggest I’ve ever seen...and it certainly was tasty. Staff are friendly.More

This restaurant is highly recommended, as long as you can get there at a time when staff are not rushed off their feet. We went there twice over a period of 2 days. The first time was for an early dinner, where the experience was...delightful. The dumplings were delicious. The Pad Thai was also perfectly made. Gulai Kambing—Indonesian lamb curry was the highlight of our shared meal. Their beers (blended sort) left us unimpressed. The second time we returned for lunch, but after being feeling ignored on arriving at a busy time (11 am) for brunch, we finally got hold of a staff member who told us that we just had to find a place and then come and order at the counter (contrary to what we experienced the first time when our orders were taken at the table). After we finally found a suitable place to sit down and made our selections from the menu that I found, one of us went to order at the counter, and only then we were told that there would be a wait for over 1 hour for food! We would’ve avoided wasting 10 minutes looking for a place, settling in, and making our selections from the menu if we had known about the long wait in the first place. Disappointed, we didn’t have lunch there. They need to have dedicated front staff to greet and advise customers as they walk in, regardless of how busy they may be.More

We have just done a 10 day trip up the west coast and down the east but i have to say snakebite was definitely my favorite meal! All 4 of us got different main courses and throughly enjoyed them all. Also the snakebite drinks are...top notch and worth trying! Brilliant service too!More

Called in here for beersies which lead to dinner on 2nd of Jan. Friendly and attentive menu, average range of beer selection. Food was fantastic, Pad Thai was one of the most authentic I've had outside of Thailand - yum! Hubby had Nasi Goreng and...declared it delicious. Would recommend and visit again. Did think the 20% surcharge was a bit steep though. Thanks!More

Excellent dinner. We had Nasi goreng which was really good. It also had excellent service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant

I popped into the Snake Bite when I saw they had blackboard special for pie, peas and mash potato. The server was friendly. My friend ordered a Thai salad. The meals took quite a long time to arrive. It didn't look that busy but we...didn't mind too much. My friend's salad was cool which was a good thing. However, my peas were cold as well, The mash was lukewarm. The potatoes tasted like it was reheated...badly I really don't know how you can mess up such a simple dish especially if it is a special. I told another server about the problem. He took it away and bought it back after a few mins. The peas were now cold to lukewarm but the pie filling was very hot and the pastry was soggy. The potato was a little warmer and the gravy was on the coolish side as well. I suspect a good old blast in the microwave? I gave up. i paid the bill and went to the 4 Square(superette) for a muesli bar and an ice cream. I swear the ice cream was warmer than the peas. BTW The water and soft drink were very goodMore
