Popped in for a weekday lunch. Ordered a bottle of wine, ordered food at 12:40, had a 1:30 appointment. Simple enough mission. Apparently not.

By 1:20 the food still hadn't arrived, so we asked for a refund and left. The restaurant wasn't remotely busy either, which somehow made it worse. The open kitchen gave everyone front row seats to the "chef" spending most of the service on his phone, casually cooking one-handed like he was multitasking through a breakup text.

Meanwhile the staff floated around with the emotional investment of government office furniture. No urgency, no communication, no apology, no apparent awareness that customers are actual people with lives to get back to.

It takes genuine talent to turn "lunch and a bottle of wine" into a hostage situation.

Mistakes happen. Kitchens get slammed. Humans are human. But indifference is a choice. And this place has elevated not caring into a business model.

Do yourself a favour and spend your money somewhere that understands a radical concept called customer service. At the very least, somewhere the chef can commit both hands to cooking.

My meal, Catch and Cattle.
What I got was cold chips, cold flavourless steak, half a bug with an overpowering flavour, watery creamy garlic sauce, the 3 prawns and the calamari were nice though. Not so enjoyable was the stomach ache I had later.
My wife's Lamb Shank was flavourless.
So all up an extremely disappointing experience.

Very well-run establishment. It's great to see some life at this place again. The renovations look great. The building looks empty and vacant from Sydney street as only the Bottle drive through has business signage at this point- I do believe however that the signage is on it's way, they've just not completed renovating it :)

Great pub, the meals and drinks were top order. Staff were terrific. Big shout out to the female chef, working solo who produced two beautiful meals for us. They were very tasty and perfectly cooked!!

The chefs from Taylor\'s hotel are now here as is owned by same company.
Plenty of car parks at the 2 front areas and out the back - access via Brisbane Street.
awesome food, service and it\'s a much larger venue.
Still some renovations happening but not on weekends.
On Monday through Sunday, Mackay Central Tavern is open from 10 AM until 2:30 AM the following morning.
