Pimpama Tavern - Gold Coast

My wife and I ordered the $22.00 fish and chips (as a take-away meal) and it looked like 3 kids meals combined with a terrible side salad. The first two photos are from their google menu, the third photo is the fish and chips she received (salad not included in our photo) with no lemon or seasoning. It tasted terrible and we did not eat it. We have been regulars for over 12 months, have had many lunches and dinners there, and have given up on eating a nice meal at this place. Pimpama Tavern is overpriced, poor quality, and badly needs to improve their customer service and customer relations. The online photos of their adults fish and chips are misleading (photo 1 2). We phoned to ask for two half-price replacements but decide that even if they accepted our compromise or gave us two free replacement meals, that we would still be disappointed with the quality. We would not recommend eating at this establishment.

The meals here are very good last night we had Harissa Pork Chop wow what great flavours! The citrus sauce was amazing and the Yoghurt style cooled the Harissa. Well done Chef.

Lunch was a very good price. Steak sandwich on Turkish. Steak was thin like a sizzle steak. Bit dry however good for price I guess. Forgot to say no BBQ sauce. Chips were extremely nice. Staff was pleasant and attentive

I've been here once before and lunch was great, I had the steak and it was cooked perfectly, medium. Tonight when I ordered the reef and beef medium, I was surprised to see it was rare at best. Very pink and bleeding lots, so was my dads. These things happen, sent it back. The kitchen then charred the outside and gave it back. They seemed upset by to have to fix the error. It was obviously a high heat due to the black outsides and the inside was still undercooked. Just not impressed with the lack of professionalism . Wait staff were lovely. Will try again.

Food was great when we ate here the first few times but slowly quality has gotten worse and worse. Salad might aswell be coleslaw, chips are hit and miss all on the one plate, bacon isn't cooked and might aswell of given me a full onion to eat. Disappointing when it was once by far the best place to eat in the area
