Shingle inn - BELCONNEN

This is possibly the worst breakfast we've ever had. The staff struggled to speak or understand English or their own menu (not racism, just the truth). We were the 1st sit down customers of the day & our order still took over 1/2 hour. When it did arrive it was just awful. My wife's acai bowl was full of frozen berries. The menu states "topped with bananas & strawberries". When we questioned the staff as to the missing strawberries, they struggled to understand what we were talking about. Finally someone came over & told us they were blended in with the other ingredients. My smashed avocado was just a thin smear of avocado paste on dry cold toast, with some sprinkles of fetta & a dry poached egg. Do yourself a favour & go somewhere else!

This is by far the worst breakfast I have ever experienced. The customer was more than below average. After waiting over an hour some of meals including a smoothie and muesli that did not need to be cooked did not even come out.

Just had a horrible lunch there before going to the movies The chicken burger was cold !!! The waiter came to me with a food temperature probe and told me I was wrong seriously if they had not given me my $ back it would of made a scene I will Eva return

We’ve dined here on numerous occasions. Today’s lunchtime experience was terrible, from the numerous tables with plates and cups left from previous diners to the oily salad and terrible service. During this busy Christmas holiday time, you would expect the café would have adequate staff. Not so. There were three staff members to handle orders, the cash register, prepare meals, serve meals and clean up the tables. When one staff member returned from whatever she was doing to increase the numbers to four, the male member of the team promptly left so we were down to three staff again. 13 of the approximately 20 tables in the café had plates, cups, dishes and serviettes stacked from previous diners. It felt as if we were in the kitchen with the washing up stacked in front of us. Unsanitary and unhygienic. Diners had to ask for tables to be cleared and wiped. I ordered a long macchiato and when it came it was a latte and described as such by the server. When I questioned it, the server said it was a long macchiato. Clearly, a milky coffee is a latte and that’s what it was. Questioning it further, the woman serving the coffee said she was a customer and didn’t work here but was helping to serve because the café was short staffed. I hope she got a discount on her meal and drink for doing the café’s work. When the meal came, the salad was swimming in salad dressing. I expected the lettuce leaves to start doing the backstroke at any moment. I left half of the salad—unpalatable. By the time I got to the final portion of my sandwich it had absorbed the oil and the bread was soggy. We won’t be rushing back. By the time we left, one hour later, a staff member had cleared the tables. It was a shabby display of running a café.

45 mins from order to food arriving. Burgers were terrible, beef was microwaved, bread was stale. Smoothie tasted like what I assume is served on "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here". And I wish I read the other reviews before coming here.
