Best Diners in Australia

As usual, amazing food, great friendly service, and a great choice in music.

Haven't been in a while but glad I stopped in today for a burger!

Can't recommend enough!

Officially the best chicken burger I've had. Bummed I didn't get a picture but wow. Think it was the Cassandra Wong. I also got sriaracha Mayo as extra, if there is one thing I would change about the burger it would be change the chicken from breast to a thigh, more tender and easier to chew as the chicken was a little stringy. But over all this was a 9/10 for me. Next time I'm back down this way I'm coming back for more!

Absolutely incredible food, on par with fine dining restaurants. There were 6 of us and every single one of us loved our mains. We had the scotch fillet, sous vide chicken breast, seafood linguine, lamb ragu gnocchi and smoked duck. We couldn’t get enough of the chat potatoes and special mention goes to the zucchini flowers. I’m not sure why this place isn’t more busy. We had a good night and will be sure to return when we can.

The food actually looks like an idealized version of the meal. The burger I had here looked like it fell out of an advertisement! Tasted great. Crispy bacon, flavourful patty and the other toppings were fresh. Every chip crunched (this is a good thing).

Burger fries and a drink for less than $20 and I feel like I should be dressed up to eat here.

Fast service and an impressive interior. Clearly a lot of passion has gone into this restaurant.

I will return!

Ordered from Snazzi the other day and enjoyed the food so much, I had to order again!! There was an issue with my delivery driver tonight and they offered to remake my food for me, and so fast! Amazing service and amazing food!!! Will definitely be ordering again. Thank you! Can’t recommend highly enough!

Amazing quality food and drinks in Adelaide. Must try their new special- salted ice coffee!

I haven’t had the pleasure to dine in but I recently discovered they do breakfast and take away coffee. Coffee was very good , milk was frothed to perfection. The lovely owner was super friendly and inviting. I will be back to try the Feed Me Menu.

This place is the ultimate! Most incredible burgers at a great price, top shelf friendly service, great range and the best milkshakes around.

On top of that, a huge indoor space and a dog friendly outdoor space too. Can't wait to come back.

Undoubtedly the best new restaurant I have been to in a very long time. Food quality unbeatable, service superb, ambience unique and just the right pricing for overall experience.

Really delicious and honest food all made from scratch - an Adelaide must-try.

Just had Sarawak Laksa here and it was yummylicious !! Be back again 😃

My partner and I went here for my birthday. The food was great and it was an overall fantastic experience. Highly recommend to dine in and try.

The greatest Pho ever in Adelaide. We will definitely come back ☺️

I only just got home from having a late lunch with a colleague of mine from work. We were both recommended by another colleague to check out the venue which was absolutely beautiful. They really reminded me of Betty’s Burgers in way!

We were blown away by the food. Yes, the decor is all consistent, cozy & clean. Yes, the staff are attentive without being in your face. The food though! Everything we had tasted incredible. King prawns, seafood pasta & the chicken breast. The crispy polenta with the chicken was amazing. The cozy, quiet booths are a big plus too.

I am here right now and this is my very first restaurant review ever and MUST leave the best review.👍👍👍
I love healthy vietnamese food so I have tried lots of viet restaurants and takeaway shops.
I definitely can tell this place will be my favorite.
Ordered crispy crackling pork rice noodle salad and Vietnamese iced coffee.
Friendly staff with beautiful smile served me and when I asked less sweet Vietnamese iced coffee (love it but not a big fan of condensed milk), she made it fresh for me so that I could adjust sweetness.
Pork and vegetables are incredibly fresh!
And look at the photos.. I never thought I could finish this huge dish but.. I DID!
Nice and clean pleasant atmosphere to dine in.
I might come back tomorrow with my family.😁

Great Coffee, fantastic food.
Absolutly awesome staff!!

Chicken basil with fried egg tastes yummy like home cooked. Make me miss Thailand. Crispy fried egg is so perfect 🤩

Loads of food options. Definitely find something you would like and never get bored of the menu

The best Thai restaurant within the area! Taste and menu is so authentic, love the Boat Noodles! As the restaurant suggests, their meals come with Riceberry but it would be good to have steamed white rice in the menu too. Been here quite a few times and will definitely be back and recommend to others.

Eaten here twice in the last week! One dine in experience and one takeaway. The food is delicious and some of the best Thai I’ve ever had. The owners are lovely and remembered us as well. Must try are the chicken wings, spring rolls, and the Pad Thai

Wawa (wow in Hindi)
New management
Great food and great service
exceptional flavour in particular on the Tarka dhal.
Wawa!

walked into meet our host Mitesh and my parents felt welcomed.
Thoughtful gestures from our host, like adapting lighting as well as check in with our table within 2 minutes of food arriving, very professional.

Mothers wishing to come back sometime soon, will be delighted to spend our time with you guys again.

I love the clean & healthier viet cousin experience! The owners seem very enthusiastic about being healthy, making clean food & just happy to have you for their food!
Such a happy place to visit!

amazing fish, amazing spicy green curry and staff are the best! Amazing service and very down to earth customer service. Honestly, couldn’t be better. Thank you!

Food was decent, heat was horrendous, service was abysmal.
Need more fans or another aircon. It was uncomfortable for the whole group and we left early because of that.
Staff service was terrible, we couldn't get drinks fast enough, with this heat you'd think you'd at least be prompt with the drinks.
Not to mention didn't adhere to the requests that you ask us to write. No tomato, arrives with tomato.

Wow what a beautiful place to sit down and have a coffee with friends or family.

Food and coffee is amazing!

Staff are super friendly and I look forward to having a chat with them whenever I come in for a coffee.

Highly recommend!

Really felt as if we were back in New York! Hats off to Ash who was running the show on her own - what an amazing lady, excellent leadership skills and 5-star service - she went above and beyond! The food was super delish...Highly recommend this funky diner! We were impressed to say the least.

Good shop if you need a quick fix whilst in the vicinity. Lots of variety & quick service. Price is great.

Nice and cheap for some viet food this side of town. Bun Bo Hue wife said it was good. Rare beef pho, decent size for the price, however no basil and wouldn't mind just a bit more meat for the large serve. Pho Broth was good compared to other local viet places south. Tossed noodles with fried wanton and roast pork was a fulfilling size. Roast pork was very good. Moist and crunchy. Roast pork made the bao really nice too but just wish it was a little bit bigger. Had a lemon tart which was yum. Didn't get to see other pastries since it was the end of the day. Overall we were happy.

Cozy restaurant with very accommodating and always smiling staff. Love that my dog can hang around with me too while eating. Like the food and fair price too 👍 👌 will definitely come back

Always good food and always remebers who has what coffee

Very good food and friendly staffs. Would love to come again.

Fantastic burgers! Frankly, Burgerfiend would be competitive for “best burgers in town” even if it was in Sydney or Melbourne. I have stayed in Cessnock rather than another town in the region specifically so I could eat here.

Service was excellent! Felt like I was back in Thailand. The food was amazing. My favourite was the curry puffs. The owner was so lovely.
Highly recommended. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happened to go there bit late at night. Owner greeted us with smile. We ordered chicken fried rice, chicken laksa and steamed prawn wantons. Trust me all the food was so good. When asked about jasmine tea, she served their jasmine oolong tea blend. It was the best. I liked the atmosphere too including their playlist. Would definitely love to go there again.

Great feed & I love the atmosphere. Not that I've eaten at all of diners, but it's an awesome vibe. The styling, flavour of the food and service were fantastic.

I had the chicken burger, and the tenders were tender and juicy.
The royal w/cheese was full of flavour, and the beef patty tasted like real beef, top-quality ingredients.
Loaded fries (at though we only had the cheese ones) were super cheesy and tasty.
Kids' meals were good value & the chicken wings were cooked to perfection. And the he'll fire spice 🔥, whooo. Nice.

Love the place and had a delicious meal with the wife and kids who all enjoyed their food also.

Lamb meat dishes tasted like silverside. Pepsi was hot. No idea on service

Staff are so friendly and helpful!
Iced latte was delicious.

My partner and I came for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. I cannot recommend this cafe/restaurant enough! The service is always 10/10! The food is always 10/10! We felt VERY special and looked after. We ordered oysters (so fresh!), steak (very juicy!) and the coconut cream chicken (perfect combination of flavours). I have also been coming here everyday for my daily coffee fix for the past 6 months - it’s the best coffee I have ever had! The venue is beautifully decked out with plants and has a very calming feel to it. If you’re looking for great coffee, food, and service in a popular suburb, this is the place to go!

Food was outstanding as was the coffee.
We did pre warn them however that we were a big group and it took almost two hours to get breakfast. This is not intended to be a swipe at the staff as they were apologetic. Just some constructive feedback. We will be back just not with such a large group next time.

Bought a Groupon deal for lunch and it was a steal. I would be happily pay full price for the food and the drinks as it’s delicious and fresh. The only confusing thing was the waiter didn’t know what was included in the Groupon deal and we had to double check why the menu didn’t match the deal. The waiter was also confused about which drinks were included in the deal. We were also not offered table water which was a bit of surprise. The service can definitely be improved. I guess the lack of customers has made this beautiful cafe fairly empty and quiet which is a bit of a shame considering their food is fantastic.

The attention to detail in their service is impressive. Each dish was presented beautifully, and they took the time to explain the ingredients and preparation methods. The staff's enthusiasm for the cuisine added a special touch to our meal.

Friendly staff, quick service, great portions. Really enjoyed the Southern Fried Chicken Burger and the Classic Mac & Cheese. We had them takeaway, but the vibe in the diner seemed great when we stopped in the pick up.

Exceptional service at this beautiful restaurant! The food was amazing, I enjoyed the taste along with the calming atmosphere of the venue. The customer service was phenomenal, I highly recommend visiting for dinner!

The most relaxed venue for an early lunch … excellent service and food. We were also the first customers to enjoy a Prosecco as they are now licensed and also will be open for dinner … Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. We will definitely be back - thanks Krishna and staff!

First time visiting with a friend. 100% impressed, impeccable service, staff are so kind and helpful and friendly, prices are affordable, but the best yet is the food. Made to perfection. Will definitely be returning. Thank you again guys!!

I go into the city twice a week, and Luxxe is firmly the first place I go to when I get there.

I am greeted with a smile, people that memorized my name and great tasting coffee.

There's literally nothing more to be done. It really sets my day up for success. Thank you.

Traveller tip: they have a happy hour between 10-11am so if you want a more affordable coffee then that's a great time to go 😉

My favourite cafe in Adelaide! Cafè is delicious, all the staff is lovely and friendly! Really a fabolous place!

My partner and I adore this place. The atmosphere is excellent with beautiful exposed brick and timber beams that make such a warm environment to dine in. There's ample seating for small and large parties alike, and the owners and staff have excellent music taste, so your meal will be accompanied by smooth and funky music that is still quiet enough to have a conversation without being an issue.

The service is prompt and polite, and the staff seem genuinely happy to help and provide top notch service. The food comes fast and hot, and there's plenty of condiments on hand to spice up your pho.

On to the food, it is delicious. Plenty of options and ingredients to choose from, and the price is great, especially considering the large serving size. Both my partner and I will come in here starving and leave full to the brim with a smile on our faces.

All in all, I can't recommend this place enough. Come down here and have the best pho experience in Geelong!

We were REALLY looking forward to eating here. I had driven past a few times, and the fit out looked great! I checked out their insta page, and that looked great! I read their menu and I was sold! I booked dinner with hubby immediately.

We had booth seating and it was gorgeous - perfect to cosy up in. The wait staff were lovely, very warm and welcoming. I had high expectations, and I was excited to order all the delicious things I'd seen on their insta page.

Sadly, with every dish we were underwhelmed 😞 Nothing looked like anything on their socials and we were left disappointed.

Hopefully for Sth, it was just a bad night in the kitchen. Because even though the space and service were en pointe, the food definitely was not.

Craving for some Pho I dropped by Pho downtown on a weekday. Location is hiding behind the main road and faces a parking. Could be a little hard to find but that's why we have Google. I ordered the rare beef and brisket. Soup taste had good beef flavors and beef portions were fair. It did satisfy my cravings.

I hadn't been back to this cafe since the old owners from years ago. But i was recommended and i was so surprised. Lots of variety, dumplings and noodles were great. It's good to have a good option for lunch in the area.

Excellent Sunday breakfast.
An excellent granola breakfast for me.
Lots of crunchy granola with added nuts,
fresh fruit and coconut yoghurt .
One of the nicest granola breakfasts I’ve had!
Great attentive customer service.
Good hot coffees
Will certainly return to East Borough Eatery again soon.

The smell as I entered the building was absolutely delicious, and it made me tingle with excitement for the coming meal. I ordered the wonton noodle soup with a roasted coconut juice, and it was just fantastic. The tastes from the warm wonton soup dancing on my pallet with each sip cut by the fresh coconut juice were in absolute harmony. The meal was perfect, especially for a cold winter afternoon where you need a little something to warm your soul. I absolutely loved it. The staff were especially kind, explaining which straw to use for my juice when I grabbed the wrong one😬😅. Definitely dining again!!

Awesome place. Great coffee. Great donuts

All foods and drinks I had here were really good! I reckon this restaurant has the best Pho in Australia ! And also the waitress I talked with was friendly and nice! Price is reasonable too. When you come to Geelong, you definitely come here to have awesome Vietnamese food. I highly recommend!

Truffle fries were amazing I find myself craving them often. I ordered the pulled pork burger with the mac n cheese, the burger was falling apart ended up eating the filling with a fork. Opens later than most places and service was great as we had the place to ourselves at 8pm.

The greatest Thai food I have ever had. Everything made fresh! Hospitality is amazing, the team is very proactive and attentive. They love talking to their guests and always carry cheerful smiles

Seems like a horrible place to work for. They constantly have new staff who don't know what they are doing, and their long standing staff seem to leave after a certain amount of time. Have seem the owners verbally abuse staff before in the middle of the cafe. They also like to sit back and watch while the baristas run around trying to all the jobs. Have had the male owner make my coffee before and it always taste either burnt or extremely hot. They all seem miserable and over tired. 0/10.

Dinner at @sth_restaurant: they just started doing dinners this week, and we went to their opening night! The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was super friendly 🙂🙂. The ambiance is relaxed but trendy. Really great dining experience 😍😍.
.
Lemongrass Prawns - chargrilled Australian king prawns, marinated with lemongrass and chef flavours on a bed of pickled berry salad: this dish was soooooo good! The prawns were cooked to perfection. Amazing flavours 😍😍.
.
Salmon Tartare - Served with green goodness puree, fresh avocado, potato puree, pickled shallots, lemon split dressing, caramel croutons: refreshing dish, and those croutons were delicious!!
.
Kingfish Sashimi - Kingfish, passionfruit with fresh herbs: another refreshing dish with nice tangy flavours 😊😊.
.
Roasted Cauliflower - Oven roasted cauliflower, almond paste, spinach puree: can't go wrong with a nicely roasted cauliflower!
.
The Orange Duck - Confit duck leg served with potato pave and orange duck glaze: omg we absolutely loooooooved this dish! The duck was super super tender and juicy, and the flavours were incredible. The presentation was also really beautiful. Almost too pretty to eat 😅😅😍😍.
.
Pork Belly - Crispy skin pork belly, marinated with Asian flavours and fresh herbs served with apple pork glaze and a pickled berries salad: the crackling was 👌👌👌. Soooooo tender and soft 😍😍😍.
.
Holo Mushroom - Sautéed mixed mushroom, serve with almond paste, short crust pastry ring, spinach purée and drizzled with Basil Oil: the presentation looked great! Flavours were good, but I think overshadowed by the duck and the pork belly 😅😅.
.
Crispy Baby Potato - Salted crispy potato with mixed herbs: omg I loved these potatoes! They were just perfection 😋😋.
.
Why Not Share - Choose 3 desserts and share them on your table. Served on one plate:
- Lemon, Lime and Bitters - White chocolate mousse, lemon & lime cream. bitter gel, honey & thyme meringue: this dessert tasted exactly like lemon lime bitters! It was sooooo good 😍😍😍😍. My favourite dessert of the night! Such a unique dessert 😋😋.
- Sun-Kissed - Mango & lime jelly, milk chocolate mousse, passion fruit cream, caramelized coconut. hazelnut dacquoise & crunchy coconut base: tasty mango flavour!
- Chocolate Lover - Chocolate mousse served with chocolate gelati and raspberry sauce: very rich and smooth mousse, and not too sweet. Delicious!

Best Thai restaurant in Brisbane easily! The first truly actual genuine Thai food I’ve had in Australia. Extremely nice people as well that run it. Very hospitable! Super delicious and will come again regularly!

I’ve been meaning to do this review for a long time now but, I have been a customer of Burgerfiend since around 2018 onwards and could never fault them for anything. Their burgers are amazing! Even if I may get the same one every time 😂 I started off with their Fiend Burger, progressed to the double and during last year they knew who would be calling when I asked for the Triple Fiend. Their service has always been great and it always brightened my day seeing Marlene and Matt in there if I happened to be ordering as well as all the other lovely staff who couldn’t believe I could eat their Triple Fiend. I absolutely love their new location and have still yet to go into Samasama but I bet it’s great too! I have so many photos of the burgers I’ve gotten here so I’m just gonna post them along with this review 😁

I've been here a few times in the new year and its a cute little cafe with good coffee and food. However everytime I sit in the dining room the music being played is too loud and is always some type of edm or club music. It puts a weird atmosphere in the air and I wish something more calming can be played so I can unwind while drinking my coffee 😐

Definitely will be back !
Drinks,Noodle,Rice,spring roll everything's great ! All the food was delicious to me. There is a public parking lot in front of the restaurant. 👍 👍 👍

Dined here for the first time. We ordered Massaman Curry and Pad See Ew with Prawns. It was delicious! The meat was so tender and delicious. Staff were very friendly as well. 👍

Easy Street Diner delivers great American diner food at a good price point. Have been here many times over the years and so happy it’s still got a great following and still delivers the same delicious food as I remember when they first opened. Whilst it’s ‘greasy’ food, I never feel sick afterwards like you do at many American inspired diners. I assume it’s partly because they offer smaller serving sized burgers but they must also choose quality and cook things with care. Regardless it’s always a great time at ESD. Burger patties are cooked well with great flavour, salads are fresh, and everything is just delicious. Sides are quite large, which I’m sure makes up for the smaller burgers for the larger eaters.

Update: have recently been again, and have to note that they were the best onion rings I’ve ever had in my life.

Small cute place to get a quick snack and drink.
I have had prawn dumplings, rice noodles and schnitzel salad. I like it. The staff is lovely.

Tonight was my first time at Easy Street Diner and I can 100% say it won't be the last! I'm American and finding food here in Australia that's like back home is definitely a challenge. This place was recommended to me by a co-worker so my wife and I dropped in for dinner. The vibe is relaxed and comfortable. I really enjoyed the music and the sous chef who helped us at the front was delightful! Fun, full spirited, funny and welcoming. Chicken tenders were AMAZING and so was the chicken slider! Whatever sauce is on that is what dreams are made of *chef's kiss*. My wife's favourite was the classic mac and cheese. We tried a lot out of total excitement and weren't disappointed in the least. Can't wait to go back!

One of the high quality cafés in Adelaide. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by one of the staff. Staff are so friendly and explain the menu.
Food arrived on time. Brunch menu has good variety. Coffee was well prepared. Good options for kids.

Couple of things to keep in mind:
Toilet including change room for babies are outside of the cafe. We found it clean.
You may park your car off the street but it would be recommended to park it on one of the side streets.

lovely little cafe! great atmosphere and the man who served me was lovely! banana bread was delicious, hot chocolate was nice too, could’ve done with a little more chocolate flavour, but delicious all the same! very reasonable prices.
would recommend stopping by for a drink and bite to eat!

I love this place, great location, the staff are always really friendly and professional. Coffee is great and there's a good range of desserts and lunch/breakfast options.

Only downside is sometimes they play very loudly the most grating club music remixes! Rick Astley's "never gonna give you up" is not a song that should ever be remixed into some sort of electronic club version... Ever. Please rethink the music... I love this place but I just can't handle it anymore😂

INCREDIBLE burger joint!!!
just finished the best burgers we've ever ordered, one cooked well, one medium (and it was PERFECT) and one customised burger with everything but the kitchen sink
loaded fries were hot, saucy and delicious, the fried chicken was so tender it fell apart under its own weight, beautifully cooked, crispy and so damn tasty

milkshakes were cold, full of flavour and super refreshing!!

I think my favourite part of lunch would have to be the amazing staff that served and cooked for us, both were an absolute delight and have brilliant taste in music

I'm so glad we made the trip, and I know we'll be back!!!!!

Great place to go out for dinner . Treat yourself.

Service was great. And quick. And the burgers came out piping hot (first time I got a patties where the centre was hot.) .also the burger came out not sloppy and in a mess well presented was excellent.

Triple was a massive burger . Great choice. Cheesy bought too. Pork belly budgets budgets Mac and cheese fries. To die for. Worth it.

Everything was great. Was a nice chill atmosphere and very welcoming.

Easy access and very clean . My friends and I loved this place. I left full and satisfied but not stuffed. They also have great options for Vegans.

This place was AMAZING! My husband and I were looking for somewhere to celebrate with a ridiculous meal, and Burgerfiend did not disappoint. We both ordered customised burgers that were so big we had to tear the bag open to get them out.
The staff were absolutely lovely and the chef came out at one stage to check on us and wish us luck with our monster burgers 😂
Needless to say we both left absolutely stuffed full of delicious burger and ready for a nap. The loaded fries were also glorious.

Have eaten at this indian restaurant a couple of times, each being good. The butter chicken is by far the best dish, creamy and not too spicy. Garlic naan is also a favourite. The service received here was okay, with the server returning throughout the meal to check if we were going alright. Ambience inside the restaurant could be improved however it was acceptable. Will definitely return, authentic Indian at a reasonable price.

Menu has great variety. Highly recommend their butter chicken. In general, even their mild can run spicy, so make sure you let them know if you dislike that. They also have their own app and it gives me %10 discount from other delivery apps. If you use their app they also give you free rice per meal. Winning!

Will never go back. Worst service. The waitress was so rude. We went around their lunch break time, and she kept coming back to our table every 2 minutes to say "the restaurant is closing soon" as soon as our dish arrived. We tried to order more naan but she refused and said the kitchen is closed now. Then she started cleaning our dishes before even asking if we were done. This all happened less than 20 minutes of sitting down. We just wanted to leave at that point so we paid and was leaving, and she yelled at our back saying "Wait! Is the card approved?" and held us at the door as if we would run off without paying for 20 something dollar lunch. Such a shame, used to go here all the time and recommended this place to friends, would never be back after this horrible experience and I recommend you do the same.

Good service with friendly staff and quick meals. However both curries were very sweet (they shouldn't have been sweet at all), almost disgustingly so. I don't understand why they feel the need to dump so much sugar in at some of these restaurants. It's not authentic and tastes horrible. Behind the sweetness the flavours were quite nice.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Always dine in though!! The dine in food is exceptional Indian cuisine and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing curry. I cannot say a bad thing about their dine in food as it has been consistent and exceptionally fantastic. The service is also very good with the waitress being extremely polite. Please consider the dine in food is quite different to the takeaway/delivery experience. We have eaten here a lot over the last few months and can safely say that dining in is the only way to eat this food. I've read reviews about their delivery service and I can tell you they are not wrong. We ordered delivery and they had forgotten some of our order but thankfully we live close enough that it wasn't too much of an inconvenience. They did give us a free can of coke which was a nice gesture. We've had takeaway and whilst it is still good food it is a 'watered' down version of their dine in curries and their naans are never as fresh and can sometimes be overly chewy. It did also take just over an hour for the food to be delivered. I do not want to deter anyone too much from getting takeaway from here but I would advise that if you are after the proper food experience you should dine in. Dine in 5/5 - Takeaway 3.5/5 - Delivery 2/5

The meal was delivered 1 hour 40 minutes from order time. We expected 1 hour max, we only live a few blocks away. I even phoned to pay, no warning about the delay. The Kashmir Naan was just raisins - pretty poor quality really. We ordered a medium which was super hot, perhaps that was just our weak Australian taste buds! Limited meat in the goat curry we ordered, not enough for a real meal. We ordered & paid for coconut rice but got plain. Won't go back.
