Hairy dog cafe

It is great that the Hairy dog is now open Friday and Saturday evenings. Had a nice night catching up with friends, few drinks and some amazing food. Good night all round.

I had the egg and bacon roll with a large coffee deal and it was delicious! Staff was so friendly and the Barista makes a great coffee! :D

The food here was fresh and delicious. Quick service with smile. Had a nice chat with the owner. Coffee and Chai were on point. Gembrook is quaint country town for a day trip.

Great Cafe with yummy foodd and good coffee. Helen and Craig are great hosts

Wow! You know you've had a great meal when you don't need salt and pepper. Perfection! Salmon Rosti and beef burger with amazing relish and chips that taste like someone has mashed the potato inside! Thanks guys!

Great food, coffee and service, love the big breakfast.

I don't have anything that can fault the coffee or the delicious burger, which was clearly made from scratch in-house. As per other reviews - those "bad boy chips" are something else.

Without doubt the best Ham, Cheese & tomato toasties I've ever had. Excellent coffee and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Easy five star rating.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday.. they must have had a busy Saturday because they ran out of a few things on the menu. Though the service was good, we were disappointed on how slow the food came out... When I checked, they had 1 person doing the kitchen so that explains it. When the food did come out, the ingredients were more canteen style or more the meal you get from a theme park/zoo type (albeit larger portion). I think it probably has to do with the 1 kitchen staff doing the whole lot... hence why some of the meals was over cooked. I would have given this review a 3 stars as I probably got them on a bad off day, but after reviewing the bill, with the pricing they charged, I expected a lot better food and it definitely was not at that pricing level.. Also note, they do charge for giving you an extra clean plate ($2 to be exact) which is fair enough considering they have to wash it... though they should advise of the charge first as it's a pretty uncommon charge. I'm not sure if they stated it on the menu or not, but if it was, everyone in my party missed it. Given the service we received, I know if we did complain, they would have tried again, but from what we saw, it would have taken a while to get the food again, and we made a judgement the quality of food wasn't worth a second wait. To summarise PROS. 1. Clean facilities 2. Outdoor area 3. Good table service 4. For 1 kitchen staff to cook for everyone, major feat and good on her. 5. I heard their dinners are a lot better, so this review is based strictly on our lunch experience. CONS. 1. Food feels like canteen style/theme park food quality on a bigger serving 2. Slow Food delivery 3. Charges for extra share plates without advising its an extra cost. (though just like corkage or BYO cake charge, I think they are within their rights to charge it) - just advise it first. 4. Pricing is on premium end for quality of food.

Everything is too slow. I waited 30mins for my drinks and 45mins for my food. Unbelievable! The owner replied my review that they tried their best to have all food and coffee in time. But the drink I ordered is just an orange juice for my kid. What all they need to do is open the juice bottle and put a straw in, but we waited over 30mins for that juice. I do understand that day was a busy day, but it is not a excuse for that long time waiting juice.
