    I've eaten here three times so far in the past month or two, they have great new manager she makes awesome food. I love the lamb souva! Place is decked out like a 50's style diner, has plenty of space for large parties, parking is a bit of a pain but yeah, welcome to Melbourne lol. If you are in the area you owe it to yourself to stop in and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. It's inside the back of Oakleigh Junction Hotel and is literally across the street from the train station. Easy to get here if you don't want parking hassles. Definitely a hidden gem of an eatery. ******** Update as of January 2022 the company that owns the restaurant decided to close this wonderful eatery. If I were you I would complain loudly to management to please bring it back as it was quite good eating so close to public transport. Maybe we can change their minds and bring this wonderful place back into being. 2cp

    Great atmosphere, great service, especially from Dan the manager, he pours a mean beer and has a good sense of humor

    We ran a private function at OJ’s lounge in the Oakleigh Junction Hotel and couldn’t have had a better experience. The booking process with Victoria is was easy and she was always available to assist and answer questions. On the night Nicole and Rose took great care of the event and our members. They communicated well, were flexible and able to accommodate our needs. Great venue and service, food and drinks were abundant and well priced and the private pool table in the venue was a bonus for boosting the vibe and atmosphere. Will definitely be back for a future event. 10/10

    A lovely, cosy establishment where staff and customers great you warmly. Service is friendly, courteous and professional with special mentions to Cecille, Tracey, Christina and Aman. Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Sear b. 1 year ago on Google
    I love coming to the junction hotel because the staff there (mainly Christina) make me feel like I'm part of a family. I especially love that she greets me by name every time I see her. It's a standard if service I just don't see any more.

  • 5/5 Frazer T. 1 year ago on Google
    When I visit the venue staff named Cecile always greeted me with a smile and very helpful offer me to join Monty's as a member so I can have discount on drinks and food plus earned points. She a good person and overall asset to the company. Job well done Cecile.

    The best service I’ve ever come across! Outstanding meals and a great variety for my family and I to choose from. I want to personally thank Tracey for being so welcoming and kind as I’d never been there before and she was amazing. Keep up the great work guys!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

  • 5/5 Hotdogs P. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great atmosphere!! Especially thanks to Tracey who always goes above and beyond to ensure every time is memorable. Her customer service is second to none! Great venue

  • 3/5 Pru C. 1 year ago on Google
    A TAB & pokies venue nothing more. Could benefit with turning the unused bistro into a pub/beer garden if it'll no longer be used as a place to dine. The decor and facilities need a massive update. Christina and Daniel are great staff, always great service though their hard work is diminished by the lack of food safety and business sense given by other staff.

  • 5/5 Shane 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Crow 1 year ago on Google
    I had a great time at Oakleigh Junction Hotel, i needed a place to take my friend earlier in the week, who came down from NSW and heard some great things about this venue, the staff were very friendly and inviting, especially Cyrus in the gaming room! Cyrus was very welcoming and we had a brilliant chat! Cyrus was also very sure to make sure my friend had a great first night in victoria! Next time he’s down we plan on returning again definitely and i’ll be sure to bring more friends next time. Thank you to all the staff, and especially you Cyrus! Thank you for helping my friend feel very welcome.

    What a lovely place, had a couple pints of water and a nice bowl of chippies, Bar chap Cyrus was very welcoming and seemingly enthusiastic about his job, would recommend popping by for a nice relaxing mid-week rest up, maybe play a game of pool or two

    I would like to thank Stephen and Charles for my first time at this awesome pub.. One of the cheapest priced pubs I have come across in Melbourne so far.. If you want a good old fashioned pub with good old fashioned service this place is definitely worth a look..

  • 3/5 [email protected] 3 years ago on Google
    Only went into gaming area still very quiet post covit though my first time there, i would go back again..

  • 1/5 Dan W. 3 years ago on Google
    Don’t even bother. Spend $150 over bar and food, tab shut at 8.30 and I wasn’t able to get my cash. Steak was shocking, undersized and overcooked! ALH venues need to get a grip and up their game, just not good enough.

    The Blood bath Hotel certainly has Poor service, staff are rude and obnoxious. The food I wouldn't feed to my dogs it's that disgusting. Just be warned and stay away from this place, I can assure you I'm never going back to this dump..

  • 4/5 Janet 1 year ago on Google
    Very old establishment and could benefit from an upgrade of basic facilities. The staff are lovely,friendly and helpful. The patrons are friendly. They have a fun Friday night raffle definitely worth a visit

    I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Christina & Daniel for all their utmost customer service. My friends & I have gone to the venue a couple times. During the times we have entered the venue two of the staff had made us feel very welcome each time. They were so bubbly happy down to earth & knew how to have a good laugh. The are a great asset to this company & I do hope the company recognizes all their work efforts. Thank u again Christina & Daniel for a lovely experience.
