Mallee Fowl Restaurant - Monash

We dropped in here one Sunday afternoon when another large party was going on. Everyone kept apologizing to us but we felt it only added to the already fun atmosphere. The karaoke was apparently a one off but we loved it.What a great venue. From the funny humorous signs on the drive in to the quirky fun atmosphere and decor inside it is a great experience. The service was efficient, the food and drinks were very reasonably priced and we loved being able to watch the bbq being cooked inside. There are changes afoot with the new owner (who by the way was born to this job being a fun guy) and it sounds like it will only get even better. A great place to sample local wines.

I can only sense that somehow we picked a bad night. Service, needs to improve. We appeared to be forgotten. It took an hour and a half for our meal to arrive after waiting very long time to receive the menus and then a lenghthy wait for our order to be taken. Two of the steaks were not only small but one did not have any meat on it at all...just fat which is fine but at $35 per plate very disappointing. The place still has the great Mallee Fowl atmosphere but we were also quite cold where we were seated. I am sure it will pick up and we wish the management good luck but sadly we won't return. And as I stated, perhaps we just picked the wrong night.

Frank is excellent, food top notch and atmosphere is all there. Will even pick you up and take you home so no risk of ending the night on a sour note. Will be back!

Visited with a large group on a busy Saturday night & the service was excellent. Loved the idea of serving stubbies in stubble holders! The table service was quick and there was always someone asking if we wanted more drinks or starters as we waited for our meals. Excellent comments regarding the meals from everyone and I really enjoyed my ribeye steak! Very generous serve. We had a group of smokers on our table and the waitress even went outside to get their dessert orders, that's service. We will definitely return & recommend.

Have been driving past this place for years, so decided to pay it a visit today for lunch. This place is quite rustic and very Aussie with lots of quirky items and outdoor fire pit and stage.My wife and I both had steaks, a scotch fillet and rib eye ordered medium rare. They were cooked on a large grill within the eating area and we're the best steaks we have had in years! Will definitely be back again.
