This is a lovely local pub. Trendy, clean yet cozy interior. Huge windows that open onto the street in summer, as warm moody lightning through winter. Great place for dinners, Sunday boozy lunches or even pre drinks before you go out. The food is pub food, nothing fancy, just the way you want your pub meal. Staff are always fantastic.
Decent pub meal. Came for $25 steak night (which is kinda expensive). You got proper steak, cooked well. I had the ribs which for $33 was a very good price - considering how expensive it normally is you got a really good sized serving. They have a great selection of beers on tap, nice wine and hard to fine whiskey. definitely more gastro than pub but it’s good to see the steak has stayed the same even though it’s in a new guise.
Food: great pub food that I enjoy!!! it’s our local, so we have tried heaps of the menu and would solidly rate 8.5/9 for all items across the board. Not your average pub feed real quality.
Service: attentive, no complaints.
Ambiance. Nice finishings. I’m very comfortable here. Like I said not your average pub. I HATE PUBS USUALLY!
Try the live music on Sundays creates a really nice atmosphere..... and they do specials each night- (Wednesday-Parma etc etc)

This place serves consistently good food. I have had delivery a few times as I haven't wanted to cook and it always arrives as if it would if you were dining in.
The chicken Parma was a huge serve; all Breast chicken and quality ingredients.
The steak was terrific too but they forgot a sauce so it was a bit bland; the popcorn chicken we only got 4 tiny pieces so for the $15 that was a rip off! Tasty so would love more than 4 tiny pieces.
Their side salads are some of the best in the area. Love the radish and salad greens they use! So tasty.
Mad that you couldn't get a seat at 505? After something a bit more causal? Want the beer AND the sport? Maybe this is the place for you: The Bush Inn. It's the perfect neighborhood sports bar. It feels right here, an absolute classic.
Logic would dictate that if the vibe here is so right that the food would be somewhat lacking. This is true but it's also just some good pub food to chow down on. I often get the parma, and every time I walk past I think about the Wednesday chicken special. Parma is a large one, with lots of sauce and cheese. I don't usually go the ham on the parma but this one I did.
Basketball is often on the screens in the outdoor smoking area, sometimes on bigger screens inside. Staff are so helpful that they will even change the channel if nobodys watching it. Have never watched a full game here, but have been introduced to football, greyhound racing and other sports I never would have considered.
Big fan of this griup of restaurants. Great atmosphere. Lovely staff. I shared the lamb shoulder with my bro and it melted.. absolutely stunning. Great wine list (i dont drink). Will definitely be back for more!!
I love dropping in on a weeknight just after work. The atmosphere is perfect for a quiet dinner for two. The staff preempt your needs and the food is like a loving hug after a long day in the cold and rain.
Since it was the Bush Inn it has been synonymous with excellent steak but a change in name and decor did not mean a change in quality. Definitely a place to enjoy.
If it was fully booked it could be quite an overbearing atmosphere but so far of the dozen times I've been here, it's always been just perfect.
The cosy atmosphere and lovey decor make for a comfortable eating environment. The food was very enjoyable and the wine list was good. The staff are attentive without being overwhelming and they make great coffee . Good location for a casual weekend lunch or dinner .
Love your Steak. Night out with friends and had a great welcome at the door, friendly staff and best of all the food was fantastic and great value. I had the Chicken breast this time but will be back again for a great steak....
Good steaks. We've gone to the Bush Inn regularly over the last 3 years and have never been disappointed. In an area where it's hard to get a good steak, this is the consistent place.
Went here with my girlfriend. Had the tiger prawns for entree and was delicious. We both had an eye fillet and was cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend this place to everyone. Friendly staff and great looking place.
Relatively expensive but worth the money! Nicest steak I've had in a long time. The mashed potato, Salads, garlic bread and even the fresh dinner roll that they bring out warm still in the little pot it was cooked in did not disappoint. Gonna save up and go there again. (great place for a date) Nice atmosphere.

What a fantastic place from the decor to the service and most importantly the impressive menu and quality food - the steaks were to die for and just melted in your mouth everything was home made from the amazing desserts to the bread rolls and fries. Will definitely be going back.
Best steak in melbourne !!!. We go to the bush inn at least once a fortnight, and have taken fussy family members several times, and have always had a fantastic meal. The steaks are the best we've had ever, but its not just about the steaks ... The service, ambiance, staff, surroundings, etc make you want to return before you even leave. If you haven't tried the bush inn, you have to at least once, and I promise you won't be disappointed.
Neil. Two things that stand out for me about this restaurant is the grass-fed beef and the little loaves of bread they bring to the table after you order. They are obviously straight from the oven as they are warm and taste absolutely amazing with lashings of butter. Would recommend to anyone for a special meal at great prices!!!
Melbourne's best Friday lunch secret. Great service and one of the best eye fillets I've ever had!
Warm and cosy. My boyfriend and I went for an impromptu dinner here and had a really nice evening. Our waitress was charming, warm and friendly which shared the atmosphere of this restaurant.
The food was incredible. We had a steak - which was cooked to perfection - and the most incredible pie I've ever had. It's the perfect winter destination and I'd definitely recommend a visit if you're a meat lover!
HAPPY CUSTOMER. Have been going to The Bush Inn, Toorak for the last six months and never disappointed. Usually my partner and I have their steak and it always comes out perfect. The chips that comes with is done to perfection........absolutely crispy. Can't complain about the service, always there to please. Also the lambs fry is another winner. For entree the oyster natural that comes with the red wine vinegar and onions is excellent.
Mozzie. The Bush Inn is our local and a much loved favourite of ours.We have introduced family and many friends who also love it and constantly return. The steak is always cooked to perfection and the fish and seafood always delicious, in fact everything we have eaten here has been very tasty.
Simon, Suzanne and staff always provide us with great service in a friendly environment. Highly Recommend.
Dinner Review. I have been to The Bush Inn many times and had the steak and scallops and everything has always been 100%.Beautiful !!! The staff are excellent always giving you their full attention. Highly recommend.
Had a great night here with my family last night. Steaks were cooked to perfection (melt in your mouth eye fillet as other reviews have said) and tasty chips and sides. My son thoroughly enjoyed his kids meal, and the dessert special was perfect for the 3 of us to share. But the best part of all was the friendly and attentive staff who provided us with quick and efficient service from when we walked in to when they let us out the door. Would definitely recommend this place!
Best customer service, atmosphere and attention to deal - the menu is brilliant and you have eaten a real steak until you have dined here. The chefs are magic!... Well worth everyone's time you just need to experience it for yourself
Warm & Welcoming - Love It!!!!. Terrific Steaks! Great Drinks... especially Simons' Espresso Martinis!!!
Always made to feel welcome - we love this place!!!!
Tasty times at the bush inn. Great steak cooked to perfection, just as it was ordered. Will be back.
Beautiful melt in your mouth eye fillet - cooked to perfection!
Oh, what a night!. A big thank you must go to the Bush Inn Steakhouse team for providing a dining experience that will not easily be surpassed. From start to finish the service was welcoming and attentive to all our requests. The calamari was a perfect way to start the meal, however the piece de resistance was the 450g Rib Eye perfectly cooked to medium rare. It was flavoursome, succulent and left my mouth watering in anticipation of the next bite. Both courses were accompanied by beautiful wines from a concise, yet inviting wine list. A great night was had by all, and I am looking forward to my next visit to the Bush Inn Steakhouse.
Best Steak in Town. Being going to the Bush Inn Steakhouse for months now and have enjoyed every meal we have eaten there. The best steak place in town and I would highly recommend it to anyone to try it. Definitely will be coming back. Kids also love it and ask to go there when they are craving steak.
Amazing quality and service. Enjoyed a hearty dinner here. The steak was so tender and full of flavour. The service was friendly and engaging. I would definitely come back here again.
I had a great night there. Great food, excellent service and beautiful decoration.
Fabulous. Beautiful steak and wine
Delicious meals and wonderful service!
Our top night at The Bush Inn Steakhouse started with the warm friendly voice who answered my call to book a reservation, followed by the welcoming greeting we got on arrival, the cosy elegant décor, the top quality steak and the responsive customer service forms the basis of this 5 star review. My wife mentioned it was her favourite steak and most enjoyable restaurant so far. Pleasure to recommend.
Perfect evening, food and service!. Had a great night, started with friendly and helpful service, and continued with beautifully prepared food. Had creamy, smooth, velvety duck liver parfait for entree while my partner tried the raw beef carpaccio...both were clearly made with passion and expertise. Main was the house signature dish of 'chateaubriand'...Ot comes out impressively on a share platter and is somewhat overwhelming, but delicious. Can see why its the signature dish. Loved the meals, obviously a good team of chefs. Will be back, can picture my next family event there... Very warm, inviting and comfortably relaxed.
Perfect steak with lovely people
I have been to The Bush Inn two times now and I'm about to book for a third :) We were lucky enough to get the same waitress both times and she was lovely an attended to all of our needs! The steaks are great an they offered us a mash substitute when we didn't want chips, which was good most decent steakhouses won't do that :) The little bread rolls that come out in their individual warm crockery are to die for an the sides are also amazing! I highly recommend its worth the cost! :)
Ate here recently after the renovation. Awesome steak, loved it and have been back a couple of times and has been fantastic each time. Well worth it for a great steak

The Bush Inn - a great place for steak!. Two colleagues and I recently attended The Bush Inn and enjoyed a business luncheon whilst there.
The Bush Inn is a very old establishment and has recently been brought back to life as a top quality restaurant. It is a very comfortable restaurant with pleasant surroundings. It is well set out and you are definitely not not sitting on top of each other.
We found they offered very good service as well as an adequate wine list. The range of cocktails is pleasing.
I really enjoyed the duck liver, brandy and port wine parfait served with an onion jam and toasted brioche. A very enjoyable entree, indeed. My colleagues similarly enjoyed their entrees as well.
The mains rolled on - I had ordered a small eye fillet with a brandy peppercorn cream sauce. We all decided on a garden salad with some baked field mushrooms and and crispy fried onions to accompany the main courses.
I can't remember when I enjoyed a steak as much is this one, beautifully cooked, exactly as I had ordered it. The brandy peppercorn cream sauce was superb, and was better than I had anticipated. I must say that the portions are generous. Also, the crispy fried onions are indeed delightful!
My colleagues enjoyed their meal is equally as much, so much so that we could not fit in dessert.
All of this, together with a very pleasant Shiraz, rounded out an excellent meal.
Could not fault the service, the wait staff were very attentive and looked after us very well indeed.
One could reasonably classify this as an expensive restaurant. However, the quality of the food and its presentation more than make up for the cost.
It is a restaurant I will return to and highly recommend it if you are a serious lover of a very good steak.
Superb. We had lunch here on Saturday and couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. The steak was the best I've had in a long time and the sides were also spot on. Service was attentive and friendly. The other 5 people in our group were equally impressed.
Chateaubriand. 1 word for this place A M A Z I N G
The food was great. Friday night $20 fish and chips can’t be beat. Good selection of beers on tap too. However, they charged us $55 for the bottle of wine in the photo, which retails for $8.99 and tasted pretty bad. If you come here, avoid the wine at all costs due to the huge markup
Best Happy hour in town! Love their steaks and shoestring flies!!! Clean place and friendly staffs as well.
The Negroni was better than most cocktail bars! With one big ice cube and Four Pillars Spiced Negroni gin. Steak was perfectly medium rare, the barramundi was delightful, and the salads we’re totally worth eating, not just decoration. Make sure you ask for the specials.
Great local hangout in Hawksburn. Low key and relaxed. Good and friendly service. Daily Happy Hour 6-7 with $5 house wine (sav blanc and Shiraz are great). Wednesday night steaks 300 gram porterhouse $25. Great food and a great deal. Good food. Higher recommended.
Thankyou to the Bush Hotel 🏨 for such a wonderful night. Excellent food and drinks backed by extra friendly staff 👌
