The food was great, the price was very reasonable and the environment was comfortable. We appreciate most was the super friendly & attentive service from the staff. We went twice in one week. Every time we were very happy customers.

Robyn and I enjoyed a delicious mushroom pizza with a pumpkin salad, and pinot noir. Service and food were excellent as expected in the relaxed and well air conditioned Main Street Bar and Eatery of the Story Bridge Hotel, which is really bistro and not bar (go to the other side of the hotel for a big up market bar, and more dining). The electric shoe polishing machine beside the doorway between Deery's restaurant and the Main Street Bar and Eatery - for complimentary use by the patrons - sets the standard at the Story Bridge Hotel; a standard in Brisbane, Queensland set years before the hotel was built, a standard set by the first premier in the 1860s, Robert Herbert and his companion from Oxford University days, John Bramston, who took a part each of their last names to create the word Herston to name Herbert's farm house and property and where the tiny inner suburb, sadly neglected by the Council exists today. Indeed, the Council would rather do walkways beside Mercedes dealerships and spend a fortune on its PR machine than address and solve flooding in Herston (something that can be said on Zomato but not on the ever-careful Tripadvisor, which cautions against social and political comment. Go Zomato; give us hotel ACCOMMODATION reviews too). The Story Bridge Hotel is also a favourite with the squattocracy and includes regular mud crab luncheons (by invitation, I hear). But less formal Brisbane and indeed Australian traditions also exist at the Story Bridge Hotel, which young ladies and lads appreciate: like the Australia Day annual cockroach race. A major event on the Brisbane calendar (the 38th year for the race in 2019), and Sunday afternoons are always an event when a band plays old rock songs while the young chat in one bar and the older chat in another of the many bars. Mornings at 6.30am is also good for the Main Street Bar and Eatery: all the papers are offered to read, including the SMH and AFR, service is excellent, as is the coffee ($3.50), and the muffins freshly made. Excellent.
This place is starting to become somewhat of a regular brunch spot for us of a weekend. The service is lovely and the meals are delicious. Plenty of different options on the menu. Recommend the sweet corn fritters... Mmm mmm.
We've been here for brekky a couple of times now and it's always pretty good. The bread is freshly made and tastes awesome. I regularly order a dish with Main St Bacon which is great for the taste buds on a Sunday morning. I love the decor of the whole place and no doubt will become a regular brekky joint
Nice pizza! The menu was quite limited as there weren't many meat free options. I decided on the king prawn wrap as it was wrapped in lettuce leaves and sounded light and healthy. My eating partners both chose pizza. Theirs arrived first and looked pretty good. Then, a third pizza arrived - a prawn pizza. Somehow they got my order wrong but the waitress took off so fast I didn't have a chance to say anything. I decided to keep the pizza as it looked good and I didn't want to wait all over again. The pizza also had fresh chilli and a sprinkling of rocket on top. I really enjoyed it. Service was very average. We had to hunt for someone to ask for napkins. No cutlery was offered. A bit more care from the staff would create a much better atmosphere.
Best potato hash cakes breakfast in Brisbane.. Can't believe how good the potato hash cakes breakfast was. Love the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Will be back.
Breakfast on X2 occasions. Both excellent. Good service and menu choices different from usual fare. Enjoyable on every level.
This place is a great find. It feels cosy yet is very spacious, as well as being light and airy in a beautiful historic building. We enjoyed coffee and a milkshake on a Sunday morning. The service was fantastic from very friendly and efficient staff, in particular, Malachi and Shy. We will be returning to try the meal options that sounded good on the menu and looked appealing when we saw dishes being delivered to other tables. Something to note living in pandemic times is that I noticed the staff were very attentive in cleaning and disinfecting tables in between customers, and did so in an unobtrusive way.
Great service and delious food.
Loved it here. Absolutely fantastic coffee!! The food was amazing. Service staff were so great! Definitely going back.
Awesome food and service to match. Jasmine our waitress was outstanding. Food was served really quick and exactly as ordered. Well priced and value for money.
Cosy place with great food. Especially the crispy chicken wings are really good. Been here a couple of times now for breakfast and lunch.
Great service and even when it's busy we manage to get a table and fast food service. The brownies are delicious. The breaky burger is good - the bacon they use is next level! Nice atmosphere for weekend breakfast.
