Hogs Breath Cafe Townsville City Australia Review

Tried the seafood tower on this occasion...the meal was tasty and sufficient for 2 people but a bit overpriced..

Absolutely loved our meal, staff was so friendly and service was quick.
Recommend hogs breath in Townsville

Average to poor. Now it's extra for salad or vegetables with your meal. FFS, was already a rip off, so we'll never go to a Hogs again

Great service ,good product knowledge, yummy steak

Meal was good, just the customer service wasn't that good.

The food here is quite lovely, very tasty only slightly filling and has nice presentation but for the price... now im no expert but damn the price is crazy if you agree to all the additional food the waiters/waitresses (who are very nice and respectful) try to upsell "sauces, bacon, avocado so on" all including a drink or two it can go way over 40 and into the 50's if you're not careful. Now if you are someone with cash to trash then by all means this is a nice place to do so but... personally i think you could probably get the same quality food for a much cheaper price elsewhere

Booked a table for fathers day lunch, upon arrival we were left waiting at the door for over 5 minutes before we were acknowledged. Once seated we were left for nearly 40min without ordering our food until we decided to leave. Whilst we understand fathers day can be busy, having booked a table and been in the establishment for over 45min at this point (and noticing the family who were seated when we arrived had left without eating also) we decided to leave. 0/5 experience.

Typical Hogs Breath experience. Ok'ish food, good steaks, friendly and reliable service but comes with a vicious price tag. Had not been for many years but fell off my chair when the bill got given to me. Sneaky little surcharges for sauces and extras that should always be included. Thumbs down

Expensive not good quality food will never go back

Perfectly cooked food, delightful staff. Marvelous host. Will be back with bells on.

Worst meal l had for a long time will not be going back

Staff are very friendly, 100% customer service focused. Food is also tasty and affordable. We are frequent diners.

Fries cold, wrap filling was hard and chewy not very generous with filling and tasteless.Partners meal was average too.Sevice was fairly quick but won't be back.

good hearty feast, newly renovated interior looks good

-Very poor service, walked in seated and left without anyone serving 20 minutes- another walk-in group came in after us, were served and had drinks we waited another 5 minutes then had to walk up to counter to be asked to have our order taken.
-Air conditioner not working - very muggy
- Watched waitress knock an unused napkin onto floor from nearby table, pick it up and put back onto table to be used by the next customers!
-No clearly marked entrance

Pricing structure full of tricks. Thought my partner was having a free 'favorite birthday meal' but charged about $8-9 because she had fries and veggies with it. Veggies were smallest and way below old standards.
Kids don't eat free unless... Conditions. I ordered entree, a beer and dessert but my main meal (a new burger) wasn't expensive enough so had to pay for a kids meal on check out. Well at least I get a discount on my meal, nope, didn't get that either.
But our waitress was good.

Ordered steak chips and salad. Salad was nice and fresh. But steak was full of fatty bits and curly chips were cold.. I wouldn't return.
Service was good. It was not busy but.

Good customer service for the most part, but not consistent when it comes to food complaints. Meals used to come out perfect every time, but the past several visits have been disappointing in both presentation, cooking and taste, with the last visit being the straw that broke this rib-eating camel's back. As a customer who regularly bought and consumed the smokey, sticky and messy bbq ribs, it's not pleasant to be told the disgusting non-smokey, non-sticky, vinegar tasting sauce brushed lightly over the pale grey ribs is "what it's always been" when it clearly isn't.

Waited for an hour after our order to be told that our salt and pepper squid wasn't able to be served they couldn't get the batter to stick. Asked for garlic bread entre instead. Waited another 1/4 hour for that to be served. Then when main came out we didn't get the side vegetables that we had ordered with our main. The food that we did get was ok. Service was good but very slow.

This was our #1 place to dine when steak had our taste buds going. Hogs has had a recent change of menu & this has forced us to look elsewhere, hence the 2 star rating.

The food was great, the restaurant hard a good atmosphere. Thank you

Great food. Didn't like the steak though but it may just be personal taste

Took. Forever. After ordering today's today's special Was told 15 minutes later that wasn't available. Meal took 50 minutes to arrive and it wasn't that busy. Meal was average. Staff friendly enough but unprofessional.

Food is average. Staff training is less than average. Need to take a lesson from cannon park hogs breath.

Always a good place to go for a feed at decent prices and choice

Nice outgoing staff. Need bigger tv's in the dining area. Mean as sounds

Poor management over booked and could not even offer a discount or anything for our inconvenience don't bother going

Food was ok however it didn't transfer well to takeaway. Would have been better had we been eating in the restaurant. Would still go back

$9.95 lunches -so many to choose from love Hogs Breath city quick service

Good tucker. Main focus is steak. Really good melt in your mouth steak. I also had an entre of calamari that was just about the best I've tasted. There are kid's meals. It's a nice airy relaxing place to be too.

Overpriced ok food in an attempt to feel cosy environment.

Firstly as soon as we arrived for our evening meal we were informed they were out of their main 18 hour slow cooked steak, the steak that is used for their two page steak spread in the menu. We were informed all other steaks were still available. So we decided to have the three course menu special, the most affordable deal seemingly available. When we tried to make our order I discovered the one dessert I could eat was unavailable. So I tried to order a stand-alone steak meal instead (one that I had been specifically told earlier they still had) just to be informed they were also out of this. In the end I just had to choose a dessert I did not want on the three course meal.

As part of our order we mentioned we wanted the entrees and mains together as we didn t have too long to eat (about an hour). These did not come at all together, despite the entrees taking a fair while to arrive.

In the end the steaks were ok but not amazing. Certainly didn t feel worth the price. Due to time constraints on getting our food so late I was unable to get pictures of all the courses.

Ordered at 18.40 and didn't receive our mains until 20:10!
Waited 1.5hrs only to be served the worst steak I've ever had in my life.
Ordered the hickory smoked prime rib steak with sweet potato wedges - it arrived lukewarm and I was extremely disappointed by how fatty it was.

The ribs needed cutting with the knife alot of fat didn't taste good or look good come on hogs it cost me $109 dollars this is not hogs best

Please change your opening times arrived at 7.50 and got told they are closed. Says open till 9.30

Far too hot with aircon running poorly or not at all.
Alot of staff walking around in groups not doing anything and it is hard to get there attention.
Food is wonderful when the order if taken correctly

Will return when not summer

Food was excellant, service was a bit hit and miss, asked whether we would like more drinks when we hadn't received the first round, when they did arrive the ice was melted and drinks were flat. Other than that gret food and great company

Great and friendly staff. Fast service. Delicious food.

usually very good unfortunately not tonight..cold meals, salad chicken was even sliced like they normally do, poor effort and not worth the money spent.

Service was friendly and on the ball (I think our lovely waiters name was Hanna) but wasn't overly impressed with the food at all. Bring back the old veggie selection of fresh crisp veggies not the new menu. They were the deciding factor to go to Hogs but if the menu stays the same unfortunately it will also be the reason not to go to Hogs. I overheard other saying the same..
