I like this place. Relaxed, clean and friendly atmosphere. The food is really great. But perhaps a tad overpriced. I always feel a bit out of pocket when realistically its just a pub. Staff are friendly. Service is fast. And servings are large. Happy to go back, but not all the time. Just a bit too pricey for a regular eating out place. :)
It's always nice when you have no expectations about what a place is going to be like and then you get totally blown away by how great it is.
We popped into Cookies for an early dinner on a Sunday evening. The pub was warm, clean and welcoming. The bubbly bar team were super friendly and the food was amazing. I can highly recommend the pulled pork burger and chips with the chipotle dipping sauce. Totally delicious!
I've walked past here a few times and always wanted to try. I like the ambience inside and there are booths so those that want to eat in comfort can do so. To my surprise this place hasn't been reviewed for a while.
My pulled pork burger was pretty good,a good sign is when the sauce and pork start leaking from all edges! A good size but I wish I had a little more chips with it.
Passionate foodies (fajitas) and Gabbys79 (beef and guinness pot pie) meals look large to me.
Food came out a little quicker than expected,staff were friendly
Would mind coming back to try something else.
Gabbys79 and Passionate Foodies company made the experience even better,thanks guys!
Great meal/catch up kindly organised by Sydneyguyrojoe
Ordered the Guinness pot pie which was a delicious stew with a pastry lid served with chips... Passionate Foodies had food envy but his fajitas looked so yummy and were apparently spicy and roger had a pulled pork burger. Nice and quick service, good prices and great company 🙂
It was a pleasant experience dining here today with Sydneyguyrojoe and Gabbys79. We introduced ourselves, ordered the food and shared our culinary experience. Good food, great conversation - what else can one expect.
I ordered the Sizzling Mexican Chicken Fajitas. Sydneyguyrojoe ordered the Pulled Pork Burger which turns out to be very popular choice here. Gabbys79 ordered Cookies Beef and Guinness Pot Pie. I was so envious with her choice not only because it looks delicious, the size is also very generous.
The food came out reasonably quick. My Chicken Fajitas tastes a lot better than it looks. The sour cream, cheese , guacamole, sauteed veggies have done a great job complimenting the grilled chicken. The hidden jalapenos provides pleasant dynamics to an already nice orchestra of tastes.
The only area of improvement will be to get rid of the corn altogether and make chicken juicier.
Bottom line: Good food. Good service. Good value not just for the portion but also the quality.
The pie of the day is a beef and guinness pie. A hearty, chunky and flavoursome filling with a beautiful crispy yet flakey layer of pastry on top is served with a side of crunchy fries. A truly well made pie, and a huge one at that.
Be sure to try the Guinness Pot Pie!. Cookies is one of my favourite low-key places to grab a bite. Atmosphere is relaxed, quirky and cool, the menu features a list of all my favourite comfort foods, the portions are generous and full of hearty flavours and to top it off, the staff are always lovely. It's always a pleasure coming back.
Always impressed with food and service. Great value. Highly recommend
A very nice pub in a funky area. Really extensive food menu at reasonable prices. Food portion is massive! Very quiet when we came for lunch on a Sunday, but can imagine it can get very busy with the locals at certain times. Would be back regularly if I lived nearby!
Not bad for Pub food. Friendly and welcoming Staff.
Serving size for our meal was generous.
Might come back again to try other food on their menu.
Came here for a quick meal and a few drinks. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The guy at the bar was also a great joker and got some laughs going. The food menu was extensive and also well priced. Serving sizes were giant and it was definitely a good feed. Would come here again just for the atmosphere and the great service. Thank you!
Came here for a quick feed with friends. Ordered the rump steak as it was on special at just $15. The value was terrific at this was 300g, came with sauce and had plenty of chips and salad with it. It’s difficult getting a sizeable meal for $15 these days so was outstanding value. The service was great and friendly. The only downside was that the steak was not the best cut of meat I have had, it became a tad chewy at times. All in all, a great feed and great atmosphere. Will be back.
Great service, friendly staff, and the food is delicious. Would have preferred to skip trivia night though but otherwise good atmosphere.
This is my first time to go bar at Australia.
People in here are very friendly and nice.
We order the Friday’s spacial.
The rib and chicken wings are tasty!
Pizza is also great!
Had an amazing dinner (perfectly cooked ribs, wings, steak, schnitzel, chicken burger, nachos) and throughly enjoyed the quiz night tonight. Great food and service - one funny dude. Will definitely be back - already looking forward to it.
