I think it has alot to do with each store - my local nandos is really good 90% of the time, but every now and again you get the b-team and the servings are really lame

On the topic of Nandos, am I the only person that thinks it's overpriced tasteless crap? Just make it spicy to mask the bland crap that it is?

Overpriced yes, tasteless crap no

It rocks down here. Plenty of turnover so no stale bread. It's good each time but it's each time you're on the run its farkin awesome. But when sitting down in store its not as good lol

Yeah adie..but only if the lord nelson was all finished and had the beer lines hooked up haha. I'll take some photos when I'm there..

Couldn't believe it last wk..seen that the drink lines were run on the roof..so if no one had a drink for awhile in summer..enjoy your hot draught..lol. Dodgey as..going to be a nightmare building these bulkheads along the walls to hide the lines and speakers to be attached later. Big big reno all up

lol...Melbournians always rave about how great their food/coffee/cheese is, but to be honest anything I've experienced left me underwhelmed.

Brisbane has an awesome culinary scene, only problem is we are inherently lazy and don't like cooking after 8pm at night. That is extremely sh*tful.

Nandos is far from decent though. Passable as filler (barely) but I'm not a fan of food that has to be hot or spicy to make it 'taste' ok.

Shy...they'd have chiller boxes/glycol setups under the taps wouldn't they?

I agree Tab.. I always find awesome places to eat in Brisbane.. However outside Brisbane/Cairns/Sunny Coast.. Good luck finding a good feed that isn't somehow described as 'fast'.

Even Toowoomba is sh*t in the culinary scene.. QLD's problem is no one wants to pay more then $30 for dinner and drinks.. Cause we're all overpaid drongos in the mines who would rather buy new jetski's and cruisers.

Yeh I had trouble finding decent food when I was in toowoomba for work. Surfers Paradise had some decent places though.

Yeah for a regional hub it's a bit ordinary, there's a few high-end joints with a good reputation but otherwise it's a bit slack. The permanent demographic of uni students, newly weds & nearly deads probably doesn't support it.

But you do have a flash new Sizzler!

Haven't been to sizzler in about 7 years.. Not feeling the urge to go back anytime soon..

Picnic Point restaurant is pretty good.. Service was average when I was there though.. Quite a few nice Cafe's but they pack out pretty fast. Did find an awesome thai joint the other day.. Definitely going back there..
