I miss this place so much, cant wait to see it re open .
I was very well looked after by the old gentleman here who I would like to think is the one incharge of this outlet. Enjoy their calamari and chips+aioli dip! Good portion and reasonable pricing compared to other grooves! Overall Pleasant and friendly vibe! Love coming here after having a long day :))

The menu options are fantastic. They're extremely kid-friendly. It was definitely an unexpected surprise given that I've been to other GT locations that underwhelmed me. All the food that arrived for our party was delicious and well presented.
I have visited The Groove Train on many occasions since it opened in Westfield Plenty Valley. The food here is by far the best I’ve had compared to other Groove Trains I’ve visited.
I love the family friendly atmosphere (Six of us all fit comfortably in a booth), and plenty of great choices on the menu. The meal sizes are beyond generous, and usually taste incredible.
Definitely one of my favourite go too’s, for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
We were invited to Groove Train tonight and it was super busy for a Tuesday night. We were overwhelmed by menu choices so sought recommendations of what was most popular. We started with the buffalo Margherita which was a cheesy delight. This was a yummy wood fired pizza and quite filling.
For our mains I had the salt and pepper calamari with chips. This was an extremely generous serve, the side salad was almost a meal of its own accord. The chips were nicely seasoned and the calamari on the saltier side but tender, lightly battered and accompanied by a wonderous aioli.
We finished with the dessert board which I thought was exceptional value for just under $19. It boasted churros, jam donuts, the yummiest chocolate mousse and some really tasty waffles (as well as several dipping sauces and ice cream). It was really well presented also. Coupled with some of the most attentive and friendliest service I’ve witnessed in a while we had a really enjoyable evening.
Visited Melbourne for the weekend back in June and came here for dinner. There was seven of us and we ordered different dishes and ended up sharing. Seafood exceeded my expectations especially the Calamari! Portions were so generous that we didn't finish some of our dishes and that is a big plus for me. I will definitely be back to this place on my next visit. Service was satisfactory, no lows or highs.
I cannot comprehend the average rating of 2.8. My son and I particularly, and often rest of family have come here for ages. Always a good feed. We love the food, (I can't eat spicy so suits me), though I'm sure those who like spicy/hot can ask for additional spice. The desserts are to die for. Have the Pancakes with Nutella - I think its on the specials menu. YUM
Came here for lunch with a friend. We were served by a young man (fair hair with glasses) who was lovely, very friendly and gave good service in general. The food was full of flavour and took only a short time to be made. Will be coming here again.
I ordered the double stack burger (minus one meat patty)
My friend ordered the veal scallopini
This spot has developed over the years and was glad they have improved.
We came for coffee and Eggplant chips, the coffees were great flavours and consistency. The eggplant chips were great though more balsamic glazing would be appreciated for our liking.
Love this place !!!
I always get their calamari with chips and salad because there is sooo much on the plate haha
I got their special Nutella French toast and it was incredible
So much Nutella with light and fluffy french toast
Edit: their chocolate gaytime shake is amazing !!!!!! Worth every dollar
I will always enjoy coming here!
Always leave full and content!
Service is pretty good and atmosphere is even better!
Do recommend this groove train over Epping!
Always dine again!

No complaints here. Groove train offer so many dishes and they are all value for money. The salt and pepper calamari is my all time favourite! The sizing is extremely generous too. Why go into the city for a dish that you pay double the price for and get half the size that groove train offers. Good job guys, this will continue to be my favourite in the area for a long time :)
For your local restaurant it's not too bad, you just have to be strategic in what you order and just stick to the classics. Risottos are very full of flavour, probably a bit on the salty side but not bad. Service was good, prices are ok. If we are in the area we'll eat here again.
Groove train plenty valley are shaking things up with their specials. First they change their burgers to be outstanding, then milkshakes, then Nutella pizza and now fried chicken waffles! Only at Mill Park - Awesome!
This is one of my fave groove train place, as my nephew is diary free & egg free, we always check with the waiter to see what he can have and if we could sub it for something else. The chef came out and suggest food he could eat and things he could sub it for and he also check if he is also gulten free as sometime allergies can be link to each other. Today I ordered the special waffle, it was crunchy outside and soft inside just perfect, with nutella sauce over it and a small cup of dark chocolate sauce. The kids meal chicken and chips, the chicken is very seasoning and cripsy while the chicken is perfectly cook as its still mosit inside. The milkshake that was order is a chocolate golden gay time shakes with an actually icecream sticking out of it follow with whip cream on top.... So worth it.
The lamb pizza is always great here you can't go wrong with it. This place is allergies friendly, kid friendly. Service here is great. Food is good.
Coffee some of the best in the area! This area has gone boom for food and beverages. The groove train has plenty of seating for familys and friends. The menu is huge so your never left for options!! The burger is great! The fried chicken and pulled pork def a highlight of the burger and the Nutella pizza is an amazing way to finish off.
** Always a good time at groove train! We are repeat offenders!
The food here used to be quite average, quantity over quality, however I have been here a couple of times this year and they must have had a change of management and/or chef as the food has been really good! I recommend the beef burger and the calamari salad. The service isn't always great but I'm willing to overlook that since the food has improved.
Hello massive brekky!!! Massive servings at the best prices. Only down fall was the staff forgot nearly half our order 😕
But food was amazing 🙌🏽
Great experience dining here. The food and the service were great. We had a souvlaki and pizza and both were incredible. Will definitely be back soon
Went today to groove train plenty valley don't often read these comments but I must say what a burger I had double slam was just amazing Thx guys will be back
Slow service, we sat outside to get some fresh air, oh wait, everyone is blazing up their dirty smokes so there is no fresh air.
Food was good but very pricey.. Some good looking staff members so that always helps the long waits wink wink..
The food here is amazing, lovely waiters and a great atmosphere! A bit too prices but definitely worth it. Would be much better if they split the bills. Always come here for coffees and catch ups.
Had a nice dinner here a few nights ago for the first time. Very busy restaurant and quite noisy but meals came out quickly regardless. Staff were friendly and attentive. Overall very good service. Would recommend.
Lots of negative reviews but I had the opposite experience at dinner Sunday night. Good friendly service and and tasty satisfying meals all round. Perhaps we got lucky or people expect too much from a chain at a shopping centre.
Lovely food always good sizes servings for your money
Frank. Great service and awesome food. Very impressed. Had pizza and breakfast. Big difference to Doncaster groove train.
Will definitely visit again.
Nice cool food. Nice food i like it i love the souvlaki and the chicken pama :)
Loved the gnocchi. Only been here once but had great service and food when we went. Had the gnocchi which was amazing and hubby had the calamari and fish and chips. Lots of families there so understandably a bit of noise but a great, easy place to eat out.
Family dinner. Staff were very nice and provided great service. We were all happy with our meals including the kids and indulged in the coffee and cake offer too.
Excellent service. Visited Groove Train this morning for breakfast and the service was impeccable. A young lady served us, and she just went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Just awesome service. The food was just perfect as well! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! :)
Whats happened to the Groove Train?. When the Groove Train first opened it was the hottest restaurant to hit the Northern Suburbs! great food, great place to socialize etc.
But now its just hit a low!
I went a couple of nights ago....The food isn't that spectacular anymore, the customer service is below par, staff almost seem as if they are forced to take your order!
PICK UP YOUR GAME GROOVE TRAIN! Especially because as soon as the new restaurants open up in Epping Plaza (5 minutes from Plenty Valley) Nobody will tolerate your mediocre food and service!! I'm definatley not going to stick around!
Came in for breakfast on Sat morning and had "The Whole Hog" - was very nice. Not piled ridiculously high like some places - was just right.

Bipolar. I've been here a few times before, some good and some bad experiences. Inconsistency in other words. One time we waited 40 mins for our order because the waiter forgot to process the meals. It was nice that the chef came out and directly handed it to us, but the waiter never apologized. I thought maybe they would offer a discount, but they didn't. I understand that they need to profit from their business, and it doesn't happen often, it just would have been nice to be apologized too, we were starving! Other times, everything has gone fine. The meals are average and average priced. Living in the area there isn't much else around. Groove Train seems to be the hot spot for 20-30 year olds on a Friday and Saturday night. The atmosphere is good, but the service could be better. The warm chicken salad was nice and you can't go wrong with a parma. I feel mixed emotions about this place.
Lunch chicken ceasar. Great Food, Friendly atmosphere - funky!!
Great chicken souvlaki . Lovely french waiter always greets customers /
Fantastic breakfast with a variety to choose from, great coffee as well!! Relaxing atmosphere on a Sunday morning, recommend & will definitely go back.
Every staff member looked at my family waiting to be seated but had to wait a few minutes before seated. Took drinks order then never asked if we wanted another. Mine was empty before I we got meals. When the meals were put down that was the end of the service. It gets a like vote because I liked the food even though it's a bit overpriced for what it is. Don't think we'll return.
Had a lovely birthday lunch here with some friends! Seated quickly and given menus soon after! Lamb souvlaki is delicious...very filling especially as it is served with a side of chips. Service was good but not perfect however overall, it is a great restaurant!
Enjoyable. Went here for lunch with my sifters and Grandma a few weeks ago and we had an enjoyable meal. My sisters thought the pizza was nice, nothing spectacular but they ate the whole thing and didn't complain. I have to admit it did look delicious. My Grandma went with the warm chicken salad which she found very tasty. I opted for the chicken pamigiana and having had my far share of low quality chicken parms's I have to say this was not one of them. We stayed for drinks and desserts, which we all enjoyed, and left with our bellies full. Overall it was an enjoyable meal, not outstanding but will happily return.
Consistant. Got to admit that the area needed something like this, and thats why it is such a success!
Friday and Saturday nights are bursting at the seams!
The pizzas are good, but differ from chef to chef!
It had a nice atmosphere, service was great All the food we saw go out looked awesome and serving sizes very good. I definitely recommend this place. We got 2 milkshakes. One was Maltesers the other Bounty. Very indulgent! And yes, that's Nutella all around the rim of the glass!!
The young waiter greeted me with a smile and amazing manners.
He was very accommodating and understanding as I am a fussy orderer due to fitness purposes.
The salad, calamari and chicken was fresh! Exactly how I asked it to come out. The meal was large and was good value for money!
The almond latte was one of the best I have had and it all came out quickly.
I couldn't recommend this restraunt more. I am a local and it is consistently an amazing experience every time we come with family & friends for food or just for coffee and dessert.
We had the most wonderful dinner at this place.
I was traveling overseas the following day, and we decided we have a family dinner. Zack was the staff who served us, and he was extremely friendly and helpful. The restaurant manager also came and greeted us, we thought that was a friendly gesture too. The food was amazing and the service was just exceptional.
Keep up the great work guys and we shall definitely come back.❤️😊
I've been coming here for years since my highschool days and always enjoyed the food and service. I had not been back for a while but the staff and manager/owner was delightful and exceeded my expectations. Not only was the food good but big enough to have plenty of left overs to take home. I don't write review much but they went above and beyond for me. I ate dinner on a thursday night and needed to keep the receipt but I lost it and only had half a picture of it. So I called up on a very busy Saturday night and the manager/owner took the time to find a copy of my receipt, took a photo and messaged it to me. I am very grateful for this exceptional service from the business. I know many others would not have done the same.
Highly recommend food is delicious and the thickshakes are so filling 😋
