Coomera Lodge Hotel - Oxenford

I have a favourite at this place, crumbed chicken with a French topper. Was always a win but lately it's been disappointing. Chicken either over cooked or not cooked enough and the chips I ordered on the weekend were brown, cold and terrible! Couldn't believe they even dished it up !

I've been to this hotel several times and most recently we had lunch here last Sunday. It's in a great location and does cater well to young children, the outdoor playground is very popular and keeps the kiddies happy. The food can be quite good although inconsistent as the same meal can be great one time and then the next time average quality. Two of the ladies I was with ordered a Calamari Salad, the first one came out with calamari and a tiny side salad and a dish of mayo, it definitely wasn't a salad. Then when the next Calamari Salad came out we were astonished at the difference, there was no salad whatsoever just a pile of calamari and had a dish of tartare instead of the mayo like the other one. On the other hand, I had a Caesar Salad and enjoyed it. The most disappointing was the fact that the manager who took our orders (there was 4 adults and 8 children) advised us there was a wait of more than an hour and that if we were to order garlic bread that would be served alongside the children's meals in 10-15 minutes. At least the kids would be fed and we would have garlic bread to eat whilst waiting. We complained after waiting for 50 mins for the garlic bread. They then brought out 2 of the 3 garlic breads and 1 adults meal. Once it seemed that all the meals had come out I was still missing our garlic bread and a children's spaghetti bolognaise. Total chaos, the staff seemed flustered and overall it was a terrible dining experience. Thank goodness the meals are inexpensive or I wouldn't be returning here. Lets hope that the new owners and their staff can sort out their ordering system and make the meals more consistent. In addition, why did the new owners get rid of the aviaries??? This was a great addition to the hotel, our children would know which place we were going to whenever we explained it was the hotel with the talking birds.

We have been for dinner previously and been very impressed. Especially with the specials menu and kids eat free on Sundays. We went here for a usual family get together and we're extremely disappointed to learn the changes to the menu didn't include specials or kids eat free. Prices are quite expensive for a pub a little far out to travel to. This is a shame as it is very family friendly. Would only go back for maybe an afternoon drink but not for dinner.

This is a great pub not too far from the hustle and bustle of the Gold Coast but you will feel miles away. Beer garden overlooking the Coomera River is fantastic place to chill out with a beer. Food is reasonable price although meals can be quite small. Would recommend to those looking to have a quiet relaxing drink in a country style setting.

We had a lovely family gathering on Fathers Day at the Coomera Lodge. It was pretty busy & we had to wait a while but it was worth it. The meals were huge, very good value. Also we were able to get gluten free chips with out steak....(most chips are coated with wheat these days). It was a lovely setting overlooking the Coomera River too.
