Dooleys Lidcombe Catholic Club Review

What a nice place
Atmosphere
Price

A family member of mine has been a customer for over 20 + years and regularly attends, where they have made friendships and had good times.
I highly rate the Vietnamese food at Vincent's Noodle House. Have been a long time fan since 2000 when they were a small restaurant and located on the main street (before joining the Dooleys Club.)
I do recommend the food in the main bistro - however some prices are quite high for some dishes. Perhaps introducing a more cost effective price for locals plus guests will entice more to come.

Reasonable dining hall. For a club, it's tiny bit pricey.

A good place to catch up with friends, good selection of restaurants, cafe and bars. Relaxing ambient.

Brilliant place to be at during free time. Big casino and decent pool tables. Lot of food options. Staff is great but few of them make the whole atmosphere a bit cranky.

This is for regents park
The car park is rough and hard to travers for those oldies with walkers
Also carton of beer very expensive compared to Birrong club
Regents park for Ted beer is $75 and $57 at Birrong?

VERY DISAPPOINTED.......
My mother was a member of this club for over 40 yrs. She was well known by staff and patrons and was involved in alot of the sport competitions. She helped whereever she could. My mother always told us, when she passes she would like to have her wake here, so we followed her wishes.
We went with one of their banquets they advised us for the funeral packages.
We were so embarressed with the amount of food that was put out for everyone. We had alot of people say there wasn't much food. We mentioned the food issue to them as we were mis informed of the process as to how the food works, they told us the food keeps coming out till people stop eating it. This did not happen, due to the misunderstanding they brought two extra bowls of food out but by this time most of the people had left. We paid nearly $1500 and by no means was there that amount of food on the table. Drinks were so expensive, more than any other club we have been too. We were also asked if we wanted to play a video which we said yes. No one came to ask us for the video, and as we were busy talking to people we forgot about it till my sister mentioned it, by this time most of the family and friends had left. We were so upset for our mother.
We would never have another function or anything at this club again, nor would we recommend this club to anyone. All they are interested in is the money.
VERY, VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED.

not recommended at all if you are Asian with black hair. Their bar staff value their "freedom of speech" much more than their customer service. My friends and I were passing their bar, and heard their bar staff making fun of us by making noise mimicking crow. We could clearly feel it was towards us as they stopped making the noise after we passed by. Lots of other customers looked at us as well, which means it's not just us who felt that way. Later when we brought this matter with them, they said they were just laughing. We had to call their manager to address this issue because they didn't take this seriously. When we were talking with their supervisor, we could hear them saying (they) "forgot to mention this is a country with freedom of speech". I'm glad that I have MY freedom of speech to leave a review that they dont deserve even one star.

one of my favourite places for a hearty meal and a couple of drinks. The serves are huge at the Chinese restaurant and very affordable.

A good atmosphere with lots of food options, but not so many if you are vegetarian. The club itself is nicely decorated with many rooms for functions and just being with friends and family. The staff are also friendly and helpful, as you'd expect from a well serviced club. Parking is very good and, if using public transport, is close to Lidcombe station.

Excellent environment, excellent service and fair price.

I had training here for work. The lunch is quite tasty and at a good price. Recommended for a cheap feed and/or hiring out a conference hall.

As always good food and reasonable prices, parking ok.

Big dining area with a big enough menu to career for the whole family. Good pricing is pretty standard, leaving on the pricey side but almost worth it.

The avocado and asparagus salad was delicious but the barramundi was a bit fishy.

Super duper big pokies area with your usual Chinese/Korean crowd... The fish pond outside is totally unnecessary though, which is where they lost two stars.

Excellent food, great atmosphere.
Excellent customer service.
Didnt have to wait for our food long at all.

Its ok, people sit around and watch you play, always full,not very lucky

Large space, many different partitions, good conference room

Easy parking,next to train station,good food,activities I like, and much more!

What's the point of having on table ordering if you can't use your membership discount? You can't even order the specials. Ppl were told to order at the table and had to return back to the line.

It's most disappointing to see that the level of service has deteriorated significantly over past decade.
Food has become at best average and service is poor. Expect to stand in line for an extended period of time to order, then wait for an hour for the food to be served. If in a group, don't expect all meals to arrive at the same time. The seafood came out rubbery and luke warm while the chicken was dry. Kids meals seem to come out last. Yes, kids had to wait for over an hour for their food. Managers were rude and inconsiderate.
Let's hope that this message is heard by the directors and address, rather than simply focusing revenue received from the poker machines....

Their Vincent Noodle House is the best!! Best price , best taste. Always feel happy & content leaving here. Menu is spot on , service is quick.
Make sure to come early on Saturday afternoon. This place will jam packed & long queue on Sat night & Sunday lunch.

Schnitzel was pink. Some of the other food items people got were cold.

Nice fish and chips. Natural light filled dining area. Good kids play area and computer/iPad room.

Massive club full of pokies just as you would expect.

Wait more than half an hour for a rump steak their excuse was because of a missing dockets in the Lloyd's bistro

No customer service what so ever up in the Vincent's noodle house, waiting at the door to be seated, the staff just totally ignored you, always some missing orders

We got a membership for the last nine months now. The whole membership for this place is actually well worth it because you get your return within the first few meals you have with someone else. There is also a wide selection of food and drinks to try which may not be apparent if you go straight to the counter to order your food as there are only a handful of dishes on billboards and listed behind the counter. There are more on the menu on the counter.

The water is located at the bar where you need to fill your cup with the annoyingly slow drip of the tap. It would be ideal to have a jug of water rather than just a glass available. The cutleries are located near where you pay for your food. This scatter and disorganisation does create a bit walking around.

The food in general are decent enough, if not a little pricey even with the membership discount.

Amazing place to spend quality time with family and friends. Great variety of food and entertainment to enjoy.

I have seen a place so clean and spacious. The food was superb

Family Friendly Club. Good varied menu with quite a good wine and beer selection.
Something for everyone here.
Lots of parking too.

If you are coming with kids, ask for drawing pack at the reception.

Very fancy schmancy now!! Its hard to find your way around. Not alot of clear signage

Special luxury club place, noble and comfortable place

Very noisy. Food boring in bistro. Chinese/Vietnamese upstairs a better option

Definitely an older crowd but the kitchen made decent food.

Staff was unfriendly upon approach. The staff at the door was unkind about our attire and made us feel uncomfortable as he dealt with it in an unprofessional manner . We left the place feeling unwelcome.

I fall in this. Awesome potato wedges! So good! I do not like heavy cream, I could order without cream and could get some ketchup.

Very nice club to be .staff are so friendly and greet people w/ a smile ,food are so yummy and you gonna love it !!!!

very nice place to have lunch or dinner their, food is delicious, a good place to meet friends their. music at weekend is wonderful too.

Very nice and modern place to meet friends, drinks prices could be a little lower.

The Vietnamese restaurant is well priced, and food quite authentic. Clean restaurant.

Dooley s specials are getting worse, the quality of the meal was very disappointing, perch fish tasted like frozen mullet tonight and the orange s still had seeds in it. Very disappointing Dooley s
Also our order took at least 30 mins to arrive at the table!

Popular club to have a meal and drink for reasonable prices. Membership is $4 for 1 year or $11 for 4 years. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere
