Chermside Tavern

I’ve been coming here fairly regularly for quite a while now. I like a steak, and it was a good place to get one while out shopping. Sure, it wasn’t sensational, but good enough.
Recently the menu has updated. The 400 gram rump I normally got was gone, now a 300 (too small) or 600 (too big, unless you’re famished). I went the 600 cos heck, why not. It was a good size, but the salad portion was tiny, as were the chips. I thought maybe because my steak was so big…
They’ve got schnitzels on the menu now too, so I thought I’d try their parma.
I tell you what, it’s not going to make any ‘best parma in Brisbane’ lists.
When the lady brought it out I felt like checking I’d ordered the normal size parma, because what I got for $ 20something dollars looked more like the $ 10 lunch deal you get at some places. It was tiny. And still that tiny serving of salad and chips.
The ham was the cheap, nasty discount diced ham you can pick up at the supermarket. You know, not actual ham, just ham-​like substance. The sauce, probably the worst I’ve had on a parma.
I think that’s it for me. I’m done. I’ll be heading over to the rissole anytime I want a steak in future.

Went for Breakfast. Meals were reasonably tasty. Wasn’t impressed we had to remind the staff to make the coffees we ordered long after our meals were finished. What made it worse was watching three staff chat and make coffee for themselves while we were eating our meals wishing we had a cuppa to wash it down with. Room for improvement.
