Shingle inn - BELCONNEN

45 mins from order to food arriving. Burgers were terrible, beef was microwaved, bread was stale. Smoothie tasted like what I assume is served on "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here". And I wish I read the other reviews before coming here.

6 of us had lunch there today. The place was not busy but it was very dirty with dirty dishes everywhere. We had to ask to have a table cleared. We then ordered and the drinks and food were just dumped on the table after a long wait with no effort made to match the client with the meal. One sandwich took 55 minutes to arrive. We will never go again and will tell our friends the same.

My wife and I ordered two black coffees, but the cup was so small that we could not feel the taste, and it was very expensive. We were really disapointed.

We have been loyal supporters of Shingle Inn, originally from Brisbane, and have always had positive experiences there. However, after our recent visit, we have decided it will be our last. The display cabinet was mostly empty, offering only individual loaf slices. We ordered a long black coffee and two scones with jam and cream. It took over 15 minutes for our coffees to arrive, followed by another 15 minutes for the first scone and then another 15 minutes for the second. By the time my scone arrived, my coffee was lukewarm, the cream had melted, and the scone itself was below average. We were not given any cutlery, so we had to search for it ourselves and found the staff arguing at the front counter. This was not a pleasant experience and we will not be returning.

It would have been much better if we all could have eaten together instead of receiving our food one by one at our table of 7. The service was terrible and I don't plan on returning anytime soon.
