The Oakden Central

Dreadful service! Worst service ever received from FOH! Was told could get my own child’s high chair, wanted to order a sirloin steak at $ 25 plus and was told has to order from the $ 10.00 lunch specials. Kept waiting to order food while waitress loped around, didn’t apologise for keeping me waiting when she came back to take order. Salad bar is non existent, veg consisted of 4 rather bland veg and soup was in a ramekin. Never go there again! Worth also mentioning I reviewed them on Facebook and comment was taken down!

We live in the area, and honestly I’ve tried so hard to give this place so many goes!!! So many times I’ve been disappointed — the chef constantly changes, as does the menu and staff. Majority of the staff are rude — expect a small amount! I’ve been told I should have booked when they have 40 plus tables and it was a Tuesday night and there was NO ONE — I repeat — NO ONE in there or came in while we dined. I would love it if this place had a real go at being good… Seriously, the venue is cool and I could see myself sitting out the front enjoying a meal and the space… But unfortunately — I can’t see it happening anytime soon!!!

Great place to have a drink but the food was undercooked and terrible. Salad bar was average. Chips that came with the meal were raw and my chicken schnitzel was just as bad.

Oakden Central has so much potential, pity the bad service let it down. Sorry but 75 minutes is too long to wait for a Open Burger with fries.
It has a great bar and atmosphere, everything you could want in a venue except, service, service, service. Where is your service Oakden Central!

Being that I am a soccer girl, I always like checking out the rivals and their facilities, and I got to say Adelaide City Men’s have nailed it with The Oakden Central.
Nearly $ 5million dollars was spent on this establishment, it doubles as a club room, social club, restaurant, pub, gaming and function centre.
As you walk in, the walls are lined with the successful club’s trophies, banners, pictures and medals.
I live in the area so go here a fair. It, to watch games on their amazing pitch in their mini grandstand and to eat at the Central.
The food is pub food, but very nice and presented lovely. There are lots of plasma TV screens about the place showing Foxtel sports programs.
Oakden Central is fairly new, so all the facilities are nice and modern, and they have a great outdoor beer garden area.
There is no raging nightlife really, unless a function is on or maybe the occasional big club win, but it’s a great local modern pub that’s a little bit fancier than the rest around here.
