The Kardy

It seems like an Oldies tavern but rowdy outside, so as you'd expect, the food is excellent. Booking is appreciated, but you have to call their Bistro number, and the website is a bit hard to read. Surf & Turf I ordered medium and got a well-done but amazingly tender steak, So -1 to your preferred level., though it seems the kitchen knows what they're doing, so you won't be disappointed anyway. Prawns were great and thankfully light on the garlic. Chips were super crunchy yet not oily and good portion size. The salad was standard but fresh and the perfect amount on the plate. Entrees The fried chicken was good, the garlic bread was forgettable, and the poppers were well spicy. Drinks I had Peach Lemonade, and it was very nice and also dangerous as it doesn't taste like a drink with 4%. Pricing was average, and they have a vast selection available and on-tap. Service It's only now as I'm thinking back, that I recognise how great the staff were. I remember the night for great food, and the conversation with friends. Quick, busy and polite staff. Helpful, thankful and not intrusive. All were exceptional, and I don't remember any one of the 4 or 5 staff I interacted with except for a sense of friendly smiles and effortlessness. Atmosphere The table was relatively small but a blessing as being closer meant we didn't strain our voices through the evening, and it was an easy volume to chat away. The floor channel for the partition caused a few surprises when the chair leg dropped in it; what's a night without some surprises? Family Whilst I wouldn't go out of my way to take my family here for a meal, if I was a local I't'd be on our list. If it is rowdy like that outside all the time though, it'd be the long instead of the short list. Overall The price was surprisingly good and even more so considering the quality. Great food and good value.

Meals were a bit pricey and toilets needed a good clean and some locks on the cubicles but the beer was cheap and the bar itself was very homely

My family"s experience at "The Kardy" was favourable. I found the staff very helpful, my food consisted of, for starters, the Crab & Corn Soup which was delish. I thought I was on top a good thing. This was not followed by anything near as exciting although it sounded great - the "Sticky Pork Belly" with Apple Sauce and Coleslaw". Let's call it the "Dried Out Pork Belly with Apple Sauce" and a dollop of Coleslaw - not particularly memorable. I think I should have had the "Lamb Shanks" which I was told were lovely. The toilets in the dining room were a disgrace with the stale odour of urine wafting into the eating area. The toilets at the far end of the dining room were much better but obviously "The Kardy" is requiring a huge facelift. It made the whole eexperience, what positives there were, a big disappointment.

Dee is the maddest bartender out 10/10 recommend to anyone and everyone if they want a good time and a good pub to go to I recommend the Kardy anyday

Nice venue good range of beers on tap, workers bar is good two pool tables but it's in the front of the tab machines and situated right in the middle of the front spaces. Could probably do with just one eight ball table instead of two. Main eating area has lots of space foods kinda exy. One scooner of premium beer was $15. So watch what you buy or if your cashed up the pubs your oyster.
