Just ok

Large place; not too loud. Good prices for happy hour. Waitress could have been more friendly. Biggest disappointment....the 4 pieces of rubbery calamari.

Stay Far Away

I used to love this place, but I just ate there and it was horrible. My burger was way overcooked and my wife' s food arrived cold--not even room temperature--but actually cold. They reheated her food (not giving her a new dish, just microwaved what she'd already bit into) but it was still not warm. Just awful.

A must try! You will be hooked!

I just wanted to give a shout out to The Australian! I have been going to the Australian since its opening 3 years ago. Not only is the food amazing and the staff very friendly, but the owner Matt goes above & beyond. Usually the owner of a restaurant is no where to be found, but Matt is consistently interacting with his guests and making sure everyone is well taken care of. When he isn’t working hard at the restaurant, he also dedicates his time to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, serving on their “A Taste of Down Under” committee raising funds to help send kids with neuromuscular disease to MDA Summer Camp. I have attended a few of his MDA fundraisers at his restaurant and they are so much fun! Keep up the great work!

I just can’t say enough about this place. And you must try the The Australian burger. YUM!!!!

THE after work bar - great wine, great food, great crowd

by brielle82 at Citysearch

I've been going to The Australian since the first day it opened it's doors 3 years ago, and it continues to be one of my favourite after work bars. The staff are always friendly - and Matt, you rock, don't know what that last review was thinking (perhaps they bid for you in the auction and got knocked out?). The patrons likewise are generally chatty and a great group to network with or build camaraderie over the latest sporting event gracing the many large TV screens behind the bar. Top that with a delicious range of wines and great food - the must have happy hour special - veggie nachos, and you'll continue to make me a happy girl! Thank you Matt and the Australian for 3 years of laughs, the best sausage rolls I've ever had and great Australian holiday celebration parties - keep up the good work!
