Our dining experience at the Lion Richlands has always been good. The foods are good. However, we felt like we rushed to finish our meal and out of the table last time we dine there a couple night ago. Will provide details feedback to the catering manager as we have been asked to provide feedback via email. Saying this, we will come back again 😊

Very good value Classic Lunches. The Spaghetti Bolognaise was tasty, and the 2 beef schnitzels were good (a little bit of grissle though, and possibly too thick to be a true schnitzel). Large helpings too. Unfortunately the chips were cold. They were replaced with hot chips when I mentioned this to the waitress. Reasonable service in spite of the huge restaurant being nearly full. We will be be back!

Excellent club. I eat there three to five times a week. $10.90 lunches between 11.30am and 2.30pm every day. The menu offers great variety and the quality of the meals is consistent.
Staff are friendly.
Easy parking.
Highly recommended

Excellent sports club and restaurant. We come here often for trivia on Tuesday nights come early as the sports bar gets packed by 7PM.
The restaurant is lovely too, book in advance as it gets quite packed especially at peak times like Friday dinner. Loved the Cajun chicken dish.

Love this place! You can't go past the Lion for good quality meals that are of consistently high quality. The service is always great and it has a lovely modern atmosphere. No matter what I've ordered I've never been disappointed.

The whole place looked awesome, their staff showed excellent customer service and the food was soooooo freakin good! ! topping it all up with the affordability of it all is just amazing

Food is always great and the staff are friendly, coming here is always a nice break during the days with a relaxing atmosphere as well as the front desk always being so welcoming when you enter

Food: When our mains arrived it looked amazing. I had the 350grm Sirloin on the bone & my Mr had the 400 grm op rib on the bone plus extra lemon pepper calamari for a add on option "Reef it up".<br/><br/>Taste: Even though it looked amazing when it was brought out, taste wise it was a standard okay. Nothing more or less to rave about but it was just in the middle. Our steaks had a hint of char smoke flavour, good seasoning and nice presentation of the grill marks. Salad was fresh with a light mayo dressing. Chunky chips were crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. The seasoning of calamari were a bit salty for our liking but texture wise was soft not too rubbery. Overall it was a solid okay main.<br/><br/>Service: Beginning of our arrival service was alright. After taking our orders & having our meal arrived at our table it didn't go too well after that. <br/><br/>Right after before we were about to dig in, waitress comes over to ask how was our meal was. We both looked puzzled cause we haven't tasted the food yet, so how do we know if its even good when we haven't tasted it yet? That was super awkward but we nodded anyway. <br/><br/>On occasions waitress came to check up on us while we both have food in our mouths. At that point we just nodded again. Being attentive is good right? But don't over do it till the point it disturb the person's personal space of taking the time to eat & enjoy the food. <br/><br/>We understood the waitress was trying to deliver exceptional service to our table but somehow it was just bad timing. <br/><br/>We continued the night eating & finishing up our meal. The Mr usually finish first before I do & it was just me taking my time finishing up. You know that feeling when you are finishing up whatever whats left on your plate. Every time a wait staff walks past your table they eye your plate so it can be quickly be taken away & quickly give you your cheque so you can just leave already. So that happened as we left. We felt rush & had an unpleasant experience. <br/><br/>Service was poor and a let down.

I've eaten here a few times with friends & as a family & have always been happy with the food and the service. It's a club so my expectations are lower than normal but still it's pretty good. Clean amenities, updated club but the best of all is the KIDS CLUB. This is situated down stairs, you sign them in & out. You can leave them for FOUR HOURS (a maximum of four hours per day, with a mandatory 30 minute break after 2 hours) which is actually a bit of a worry but good if your out for a long lunch or dinner. Kids eat FREE Fri 530-630pm & Sat 5-6pm. Really why wouldn't you go check it out?

Utterly terrible! I have not given such a low score in some time. I know their focus is probably more value then quality & service, but there's still a minimum expectations. I went there with parents for dinner as they prefer somewhere close by. The Club was big, with everything you expect of a sports club. We ate at the Bistro. Got seated by the entrance, while there were other tables inside available. Then it took ages for the waitress to come take our order. We wanted to order drinks & get some water, but told us she'll come back for our drinks order & bring some water. Neither happened. The steaks came out in lighting speed & we still didn't have drinks. My elderly stepfather had to go to the bar himself to get drinks & bring them back to the table. The food came out so quick because it was hardly cooked, let alone rested, so it bled all over the plate when you cut into it. The pepper sauce was completely tasteless. Not impressed.
Adrian Szentessy
Extremely disappointed in the mothers day luncheon. Dirty and wet plates, poor service, buffet was very slow in getting replaced. Won't mention the frozen 3rd grade prawns that were brought out. Wasn't worth $25 a head let alone $55.<br/>Will NOT return!!!!
Bree Marlay
We love the $9.90 lunch specials here. However we came for dinner on Thursday night. We had a table of eight and five of us ordered steaks and three were over cooked. I ordered medium rare and it came out medium well. Service was fine and accommodating to our large table. There was several large tables all sandwiched together though which made it very loud. I will be back for the lunch but probably not dinner, I’d expect better for a steak of that price.
Sam Richardson
Friendly helpful and inviting staff members . The food has some amazing qualities but unfortunately i built it up in my mind. Still a great venue for functions and events
Elizabeth Di Battista
Very disappointing! Since they have tried to go fancy, food and service has deteriorated significantly. We had a 6:30pm booking and arrived at 6:20pm, we were seated striaght away. First issue, was very difficult to order a pale ale and water. Took 15mins. Ordered garlic bread, not too long, tasted alright. Eventually had a waitress take our mains order at 7:10pm. She then came back 10mins later and advised it was a maximum of a 40min wait "40mins at the absolute most, will most likely be less" So I had in my head 8pm. Wasn't impressed that no-one told me an hour before that the wait was very long, I mean they were busy but not every table was full. At 7:55pm, I asked a waitress how our meals were tracking. She never returned. At 8:05pm, 3/5 meals arrived, we started eating straight away as was hungry. I got the beef and reef. Steak was cold, and bug was way overcooked. 10mins later the final 2 eventually came, we had pretty much finished our other meals. Normally I would have sent the beef and reef back, $40 for a meal like that! No way! But I was starving, so just ate it, albeit didn't finish it coz it wasn't great. Of course I wanted a discount, although initially the supervising waitress just offered us free desserts. Um there was no way I was staying there any longer ! Instead she offered to remove the garlic bread and beer cost... Again what?! We ordered 5 main meals! In the end we paid $100 for what was originally $130. Won't be going back...

Give these guys a medal for the worst food and service award. <br/>DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!<br/>Arrived at 6pm with my partner and our baby and told we had to seat ourselves outside. Went to order our food and were told they weren't taking orders for tables outside for another 90 minutes and if we wanted food we had to order from the cafe!! There were two tables outside already eating food from the main menu. We were about to leave but the lady at the front found us a table inside straight away and we sat down and waited to order our meal. Over an hour later our meals arrived but our entree hadn't even come out yet. Refused calamari entree during our main course as it looked soggy and awful anyway. Steak was undercooked with barely a drop of sauce, salad was old and disgusting and the chips were gross and oily. Chicken breast was tiny, overcooked and the potatoes weren't cooked how they were described on the menu (fried in mustard - more like boiled) Sauce wasn't that nice either. Staff in the restaurant were not very helpful and quite rude too! If it wasn't for the lovely ladies at the front desk we would have left and not wasted 2 hours of our time and kept our baby out that late! <br/>The worst meal and experience we have EVER had!!!!<br/><br/>Great venue aesthetically but that's about it.

Ive been a member for 8 years and last night's dinner service was very disappointing. We made a booking for 7pm and we had to wait 1.5 hours for our food to arrive. Food was substandard. Then we waited another 10 minutes to pay the bill and we asked for it twice. I would give less stars if I could. Returning my membership card. Don't waste your time here.

Been here on and off for years but food pretty much hasn't changed. Was here last night Wednesday saw in the kitchen and thought finally Lions new head chef is female and this kitchen might get a new start and be good. After ordering and talking to staff to find out the new head chef is not even Australian (really Lions start hiring Australians in the kitchen) to hire a suppose 5 star chef to come and work in Inala that pretty much explains the SOU VIDE steak and pork chops.<br/>If you are going to cook meat than cook it from start sou videing is for our suppose 5 star chefs who can't really cook. Restaurant is beautiful but food is still bad.

Forget everything you think you know if you have been to this club before.... this club hasn't had a makeover it's literally hat a total rebuild. Nothing is the same, nothing. <br/>At time of writing the outside landscaping still has lots of work to be done and resembles a building site but once you step inside everything is nice, really nice. This place now resembles a modern 5 star hotel rather than a sports club, it's a class above any other sports club and sets a new standard. <br/>Today we had lunch at the restaurant. Just how do they do full table service with a a great menu and do it for $8.90? The service is great, the food is up to realistic expectations and the atmosphere is excellent. You can't even get fast food for that price!<br/>You also have your regulation gaming room, huge, cafe with sumptuous seating, and a brand new sports bar. This bar has a massive screen to watch the big games on and is huge., it's 13m wide. Here I actually have a concern, I think once the word gets out on how good this bar is I think it may need to be triple the size. I think it could do with a big clear floor area to allow crowds stand and cheer the big games, could be a bit crowded I'm thinking. Saying that it's a high class bar that may be just a bit too nice for the Friday arvo tradies, time will tell. <br/>Highly recommended a visit.

I Organized My Staff Xmas Party 2016, It Was Truly A Disappointment To Say The Least, The Staff Were Incompetent, They Totally Messed Up Our Order, There Were 14 Diners, Everyone Of Them Stated They Would Never Go Back To The Lions, I Had Egg All Over My Face As I Am Member, I Will Never Make That Mistake Again, A Waste Of $1,200 Dollars On The Night, Pick Up Your Act Lions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br/>Also The Rating Should Be -5
Gary Gearing
I have been there several times and have found that the meals are always different being rump steak 200 gr.<br/>Some are so tough and some are decent always small.I mean who would pay 15 for that small taste when theres waybetter out there<br/>I was last there a week and a half ago and was if i was in a fish bowl with people telling me I couldnt use certain given food vouchers given to be by a top fire member and was made to feel like i was a criminal and an apology would be well received with free meal and a desert.My experience was the worst and several people need to get there hospitality skills in order to continue in this profession.<br/>My friend and i were made to feel so bad and the meal was not good and really the club needs to have its hospitality rated higher because i am so disillusioned by how i was treated and being a member i wont be back
Leighton Taylor
Ordered med-well 300g rump steak... Looked small for 300g and was slightly over well done. Garlic prawns were perfect tho. Price all up for food 27.80 + 11.50 for a 330ml jack D & Dry. Members get 5% off drinks so still bit high for my liking.
Mister Sparkles
Food looked good tasted ok, but was cold. Was dinner crusted lamb rack, salmon, port cutlets. 5 cold main meals.<br/><br/>Great venue never the less, lovely, great family environment. Comfortable and relaxing as well. Drinks are cheap.
Carley Townshend
Bad customer service. Ok food. Stop trying to be fancy, what ur doing now looks very bad. Up ur game lions.
Amy Vining
Most awful dining experience I have ever had. All wait staff are useless and the chefs are non existent.
Allygreen
Local diner. Took a family group to dinner to celebrate new year 2015. Never again the food was disgusting. One member of the party returned their membership card (which they had just renewed) stating "they would never return as on each occasion they had attended the food was not edible" some members at the table asked for grilled fish they were served fish wrapped in foil floating in some disgusting fluid. Never again. The salad on the plates looked like it was leftovers scraped from plates and re used.
Richard.tempo
Australias worst food!. Whoever cooks the food at the Lions must never have had any training as a child could cook better than this.<br/>The worst thing is is we go back occassionally assuming it can't get any worse but it does!
Ibzprestige
Disgusting. Just terrible food. Will never be returning.
Bebe
SO BAD!. Just horrible. Disgusting food, we couldn't eat it and had to leave. The staff were unhelpful and borderline rude. Save yourself the trouble.
Jhellier
Xmas in july. Never again will we come here first and last time, food was disgusting, seafood salad mix was frozen,roast was cold, the lamb was more fat than meat, the staff were terrible the only good thing was leaving
Jdterrington
Amazing for a largish club. I have been to the Lions 3 times now (mmm..not sure what it says about me given the following comments).<br/><br/>The first time myself and my partner had steak/chips/salad. Now it really isn't hard to at least do an average effort. I ordered medium/mushroom sauce and she medium/pepper sauce. My steak was well and truely well done, and hers was half well done and half "mooing" plus she received mushroom sauce.<br/><br/>The 2nd time it was lasange and chicken. Not sure if you have had prepackaged lasange before, well if you haven't you can easily go to the Lions and pay extra to buy it (terrible). As to my chicken..mmm...dry and well overcooked once again.<br/><br/>3rd time lucky...or stupid I guess. Pizza bread....to put it one way...absolutely disgusting. My partner had some type of stir-fry, I took one look at her dish and felt truely sorry for her...noodles out of the packet may have been a better option.<br/><br/>I have no idea why a fairly large sized club can put up with such below average food, sad really as if it was even average I would continue to go.<br/><br/>Recommendation - I don't recommend, in fact I say spend your money in another restaurant.<br/><br/>James
Eden Davies
I went for lunch today and the service was terrible as was the food. My steak was overcooked and over priced. I will never go back here to eat

Food was ok but the service from the girls standing at the front desk was horrible. They were rude especially the Vietnamese girl. She need to go back to kindergarten to learn about basic manner.
Brenda
Food is always excellent, quality same price perfect.

Poor Quality and Over Priced. I was very disappointed with my meal. I ordered lamb shanks and was told they were very good and it was a large serving. When my meal arrived, the mash potato was cold in areas and warm in others like it had been re-heated. the garlic was in whole pieces making it rather unpalatable. It only came with one averaged size lamb shank that was really fatty and rather dry. not even any vegetables or sauce accompanied it. I didn't think this was at all worth $24.90
LovesTheFood
Not going back again!. Normally, I only leave good reviews.<br/>But this place made me annoyed that I thought I should leave a bad review to give a heads up.<br/>So I went here with my partner, it was a one off, somewhere new for us to have dinner. <br/>We both ordered the ribs. We Ordered dinner at 6:45pm and didn't get our dinner till 8:20pm. And No, this is not a over reaction on time. <br/><br/>I had a nice weightstaff come over and offer me a free drink due to having to wait so long, but didn't receive the drink.<br/><br/>If they had given us a warning on dinner may be over an hour and half wait, then we wouldn't of bothered.<br/><br/>So since the wait was soo long, I thought the food would be good. Nope.<br/>The ribs were hard and dry. They chef gave me the wrong sides as well.. But I was too hungry to even go up and complain.<br/><br/><br/>Overall. 3/10 (The beers are cheap)
BrisGirl
Terrible. When you serve vegetables you might want to drain the water they were over-cooked in first! My steak was ultra fatty, extremely over-done and chewy. The rest of the food was ruined by the water on the plate (it half-filled a glass). My last terrible meal in a series of terrible meals at this club which once-upon-a-time served decent food.
Party Girl
Great service!.... But!!!! How can you call a surf n turf without actual visable seafood!!! Told waiter I asked for surf n turf but don't have any prawns.... Told me it was finely cut up and mixed in the garlic sauce..... Sorry but that ain't surf n turf!!!
Dammit
Very good quality meals. Good food & atmosphere. you can enter as a 'guest/visitor' but if you sign up to be a member (cost: $3) you then get a minimum 5% off at the restaurant, so probably worth doing.<br/><br/>decor/etc really good. nice tables/chairs/menus/etc. quite well priced for the quality of meal received.<br/><br/>I ordered the pork belly - $25 which came with roasted beetroot, carrots, broccolini, potato etc. very good quality and top presentation. was a little dry as there was no sauce on it which was a shame. It really needs a honey glaze sauce or something.<br/><br/>Wife ordered a chicken breast oven roasted with vegies, $24. had a nice gravy sauce but again not enough sauce so was a bit dry. apart from that these meals were really nice. The chips with aioli were delish (big bowl as a side was quite cheap too).<br/><br/>Overall a very pleasant experience and we will return.

Lovely place! Friendly staff and good food. The specials are always good cheap lunch menu. Absolutley love the potato bake you get with the vegetables. 'vegetables or salad and chips' will definitely be back!
