Fantastic food, coffee and service, Sandy & Rob have created a great little spot that our kids love going to as much as we do. The #98 Burger is the best burger you’ll have anywhere in the world. A regular lunch spot for us on weekends, never disappointed.
Fantastic. Mum had dietary requirements so I called in a few days before to discuss. The result was one of the best dinners I've had in years. Roasted artichoke soup was to die for, lightly battered flathead tails simply incredible. Then delicious fruit and cheese platter finished it off perfectly. Top that off with brilliant service from Andy. Love this place xx ��
Menu was great, food itself was absolutely delicious. Staff friendly and the town and atmosphere was beautiful. Went there for dinner and back again for breakfast the next day because we enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend.
We were lucky enough to be picked up and dropped off to our glamping location by these guys... our dinner was delightful!! Highly recommend- very friendly service had us back there in the morning for a coffee and breakfast!
Had a wonderful lunch here on Sunday with my husband and mum.
We sat out in the courtyard with an umbrella for shade. It was a very relaxing atmosphere.
Sandy the owner, who is a lovely lady, came out for a chat which was nice.
The food was excellent and we found the service very good.
It was a long drive for us but well worth it and will make sure we that we have a return visit.
Our second Mother's Day lunch here and need I say we will be back. Delicious food, in a warm and friendly setting only made even more special by their amazing staff!!!!! Thanks again and top job Andy your service was incredible.
OMG! celebrated my wedding anniversary here with dinner, accommodation and breakfast! It was worth every kilometre traveled to enjoy and Experience Salinger’s - thank you to the staff & hosts Sandy & Rob for making my & my wife’s time there ever so memorable/ see you again
Beautiful little place with fantastic friendly service and amazing iced chocolates and incredible food! What a little gem! We will definitely be back in our travels.
My favourite place in the Wimmera, never disappoints.
Soul food served by beautiful people.
AMAZING customer service! Couldn't fault the staff so lovely and accommodating! Meal was top notch! Absolutely delicious! Will definitely be recommending this business to others!! Well done Salinger staff!!!
We had the most amazing lunch and cake selection today for my mother in laws 70th birthday. The food was delicious, the atmosphere delightful and the staff absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for making her day so memorable xx
Wow! Suitably impressed with Salinger’s. The bacon & egg brioche was magnifique, as was the cake. Thank you to Gwenda for making us feel so welcome
Best dumplings I have had in many years
Everything you want from a cafe when you are half way through a long drive
Fast table service, clean toilets , good food and the best prawn and ginger dumplings 🥟 I have ever eaten simply delicious
Almost worth a long drive just for the joy of having a dumpling dissolve in your mouth
Nice place for an early brekky. Friendly staff great decor. The floors! Best restored floor with original boards.
Had a nice pot of tea and toast. Simple. Nice.
My friends had chilli scrambled eggs (fresh sliced chilli) and it looked good.
Good ol country feel and happy to return.
Cute little cafe in the heart of Great Western. Delicious food, great coffee, friendly service. Perfect lunch spot after a wine tasting at Seppelt cellar door.
Came here on a few occassions and food were consistently yummy! Good quality cafe and restaurant for a small country town. The waitresses were really friendly and made you feel really welcomed.
We visited a friend in Ararat over the weekend and she brought us here for dinner. The waitress who served us was super friendly and i enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. Food was really tasty too. I had a lovely dinner here.
Pretty good coffee ($5) for having driven out of Melbourne--menu looks good and very friendly staff. Cards accepted. Definitely worth the stop if you were thinking of just driving through GW.
We had a delightful lunch at Salingers. The exterior and interior have a simple country feel. The staff were friendly and provided very good service. We selected the chicken and leek pie and the tortellini special. The tortellini was delicious. The pie was excellent although lacking the strong flavour of the tortellini. Both mains were quite filling and we decided to skip dessert and just finish with coffee. There are not many eating choices in Great Western and I am happy to recommend this one.
Wonderful service and delicious food! Plus a super cute cafe. They were out of waffles, however substituted pancakes in their place and we were not disappointed! Yummy coffee and Chai latte. Definitely recommend!
Beautiful cafe on the way home from the Grampians. Stopped for a late breakfast. Ordered the Eggs Benedict and Bacon and Eggs on pancakes (no waffles available). Both hit the spot. For the price and the super friendly service this place did not disappoint. Coffee in a mug if requested was tasty also. Would certainly stop in and recommend to those campers travelling back to Melbourne.
Before I write my review I'd like to point out that I am rating this café against other country cafés of similarity and not comparing to urban restaurants or local city cafés.
If you're someone that drives through country victoria often, you'll know that it's very difficult to find a café that provides decent food let alone caters for dietary requirements. Salinger's provided both tasty food, coffee and even created an off the menu item for my husband who is vegan.
The food was simple but nice and well proportioned for a breakfast meal.
Staff were very welcoming, chatty and provided knowledge of both the area and the history of the café. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who kindly introduced herself to us and checked that we were enjoying our meals.
To top off our experience, I was given a complimentary cupcake for my birthday.
Congrats to the new owners. Good Cafe style food, selection of wines and beers, vegetarian options, friendly happy staff. The coffee's good and the atmosphere relaxed. Well worth the stop.
Has recently had new owners and a complete makeover of premises and menu. Sensational, a "must" when in the area or passing through. Pizzas were absolutely sensational, not the run of the mill.
