Shadows Cafe

Have had several meals, very tasty. Today it was coffee and cake fo $8. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff! Affordable lunches and at the moment (winter) are open late on a Thursday for dinner!

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend. When we arrived we were seated at a table and had a couple of menus dumped on the table in front of us with very little effort to be welcoming. The decor is if a very basic standard and reflected the down market prices on the menu. I didn't expect a lot but was very disappointed with the chicken burger that I was served. It consisted of a generous portion of nicely cooked show string fries, they were the highlight of the meal. There was a minimal amount of lettuce and tomato in the burger which was actually toasted plain white bread spread with a bland insipid tasting margarine. The greatest disappointment was the actual chicken if you could call it that. It was simply an oversized , over processed chicken nugget. As much as it was only about thirteen dollars for the meal I expected better than something less refined than a burger from a large fast food chain. I must say that the coffee was very good and the premises was immaculately clean. I was also requested to provide my name and phone number for Covid-19 tracing, something that no other food establishment has asked me before so full marks there. Unfortunately I must say that I am very unlikely to call in again.

Had a nice lunch here of an open sandwich of chicken avocado n cheese with a lemon.lime bitters bevy

I don't usually leave reviews but the food was really, really bad 🤢😪 Nachos were just doritos with some kind of tomato jam and heaps of cheese... Cakes looked good and the staff were fine. I guess if you want white bread and chips you might like it. Definitely not a good place for vegetarians

My husband and I have been here twice. The first time we had nachos and loaded wedges, which were really good. No complaints at all. We went with some friends a few weeks later and two of us ordered burger, I the chicken burger and my friend a hamburger with the lot. Firstly, the "burgers" had slices of toast instead of burger buns. I thought maybe they had run out of burger buns, but no, that is how they do their burgers (we asked). Secondly, my burger/sandwich was very underwhelming. As a chicken sandwich it would have been average, as a chicken burger it was pathetic. My friend's burger with the lot did not come with beetroot or pineapple, and the egg was runny. Adding an egg to a standard hamburger does not classify as "the lot". This visit was disappointing.

Chicken burger - do your self a favour and get all over this bad boy. $12.00 for a burger that is delicious and filling, unbeatable. Also slices and cakes, amazing!

Always good simple food..and coffee
