First time visiter to Evans Head :), came here to visit a friend who is here on a working Visa :).
Didn't know what to expect cause i found this place on trip advisor and it had 3 reviews.. a negative 1 star reveiw, a semi bad review and a pleasant review..
In all honestly I'm more than happy with my 5 star review cause there is nothing to fault with this place... I'm thinking that the previous reviewers might be used to the 4 star luxury pub hotels back home in their respected citys lol!!
If anyone can find a fault with this 2 star hotel with a single room bed for 1 person with shared bathroom for $27 a night - to a double 2 person room with private bathroom and shower and balcony for $88 a night, pleasd do so. But keep in mind that this is a small town between Grafton & Ballina and that your staying at Pub Hotel not just a hotel :)!!
The Bistro had delicous food here aswell, had the fishermans basket myself and was pleased with the outdoor seating area where you could sit down and chill out with a cold beer with the locals :), and everyone says Hello or how are you over here.. a bit like Europe.. am just suprised cause you don't get that from many Sydney siders lol..
All in all I loved my stayed here at Hotel Illawong and on my next visit I won't be staying anywhere else but here :)! !
Stopped in for lunch. What a gem! Fantastic squid and soft shell Crab. Catered for gluten free. Beautiful. Massive tender steak and ripper stone and wood battered fish. Will be back!

I have been doing volunteering work for the people that were affected by the floods. They have lost everything.
Great Friendly staff had a great fundraiser event with great company and music downstairs! Best night for a long time ☺️
Large establishment with a reputation for quality food. I can attest to great service at a very fair price. Views on two sides to help drinks go down.
Great food and drinks, absolutely wonderful staff very friendly and helpful, the service is amazing definitely recommend, as for the 2 people who work for the rsl and made my son's week Wayne and Justin we will definitely come back and dine in, the views are amazing while having lunch or dinner and been able to walk back to the caravan park is great
