The Cookery

We didn’t have a reservation but we got there right when it opened and were able to be seated right away. It’s no wonder why their reservations fill up immediately. Our waitress was so kind, helpful, knowledgeable and great. We loved our food and would definitely recommend

Haven’t ever really had Australian food before but this was a great introduction. Great for coffee as well, staff are all very nice and attentive, if occasionally a little backlogged at peak hours. Definitely recommend getting gravy with the meat pie, it has some in it but I felt like it would’ve been better had I added more. Definitely recommend if you’re in the Belmont or 12 south area.

Summary: Unique and interesting with some good food, but EXTREMELY slow service. The mission of this place is awesome. Such a cool concept put into action. Everyone was lovely. However, it took an hour just to get my coffee. Two hours to get our food. My burger was absolutely delicious however, my other friends orders were incorrect and really lacking. If you have literally nothing else to do for an afternoon and want to catch up with a friend or do homework, I can see it being a good spot. But if you're just looking for lunch and have other things to do, this place is not for you.
