Review Great Western Hotel - Rockhampton

Excellent quality food, vibes and atmosphere. The theme is outback cowboy and it is fantastically done. Step into the back section to find a full on bull arena where major events take place. The staff were polite and friendly show casing what they have on tap and which dishes are popular. Round up the posse and have a great evening! Edit: They do beautiful steaks and sweet deserts, one of my favourite places now!

Called in to have a look today and ended up having lunch. Our meals was beautiful. I had the old fashioned burger and asked for a soft egg. That's exactly what I got. Hubby had a bucket of prawns which he enjoyed. Great friendly staff. Owners only been here for 4 weeks so i wish them all the best for the future

Good food, great service. Practice bull riding is no longer on the menu for Wed and Fri nights (due to a change of ownership), but none the less we had a good night and were still able to check out the arena where the bull riding would go on. A unique venue, worth the visit.

TWO HOUR WAIT FOR FOOD! My family and friends went to the Great Western for the Inflatable Adventureland night. The kids enjoyed the jumping castles but we waited for two hours for food. We ordered two kids meals, two steaks and two sides at 6:30pm and didn’t receive any of the food, kids meals included until 8:30pm. By the time food arrived the jumping castles were deflated and all of the kids were hungry, overtired and upset and it ruined the night. Completely unacceptable. If your wait time is over an hour you need to give people the courtesy of knowing. We would never have ordered knowing the kitchen was this backed up, and the food was honestly not worth the wait. The staff were apologetic but there was no communication about the extensive wait unless you approached the kitchen. I honestly don’t think I can justify giving the Great Western my money again. If your kitchen cannot handle the guest capacity of your venue you need to rethink things.

Iconic must see pub, absolute essence of great Aussie pubs. Staff were friendly with good service skills. Meals were good honest pub grub very reasonably priced. Go and see the rodeo and a band, great night.

Great feed. Good price. Quick service. Live band out the back when ya finished dinner. And a bull ring if ya lucky enough to be there when it's on, over all.. best spot I've been to for a long time

Great venue for my friends 57th Birthday 🎂 She had everything! It was awesome. Only one criticism... It appeared that prices for the shots we're slightly different from inside bar, compared to the outside party's bar. Otherwise.. Great Western is awesome!!!

Had my son's birthday dinner here last week which also coincided with State of Origin. Despite how busy it was we were so impressed with the staff and the service they provided... They couldn't have done enough for us, including covering my vegetarian diet. Will definitely be back!
