    Great little pub with a warm atmosphere. Good beer prices & the food is amazing. I was pleasantly surprised to see that as well as the usual pub food they also had some Japanese food such as Ramen, which is one of my fave foods. I had Pork Ramen which was one of the BEST I have tasted. Salute to the chef!

    Great picturesque spot, go past the canefields, like north Qld and bit like a place time forgot, tho not by the fishing boaties. Easy boat hire. Excellent meal at local pub. Good hairdresser. Van park by the inlet, pretty when tide in. Impressive old trees abound. Very peaceful.

    For many, many, many years the food & service at this pub/restaurant has been hit & miss. Occasionally you would jag a good meal but mostly you waited a really long time for inconsistent, sometimes terrible or just cold food. Lately we have been pleasantly surprised tho - over the last 6 months or so the food has been good every time we have gone - perfectly cooked steaks, tasty piping hot food & timely service with friendly, happy staff. We are really happy that our local is finally ticking all the boxes again - keep it up guys!

    Will not be back to the Jacobs Well Tavern. Found the staff to be rude, not accommodating and if asked for anything it seemed to much hassle to do. The food came out at different times meaning some of the food was cold on arriving at the table. I asked for all the food to come out together however the kids meals came out a good 10 mins before the rest meaning we had to entertain the kids while trying to finish our own meals. The pizza I did have was actually quite nice but given the attitude of the staff it over shadowed that part of the food.

    Great atmosphere in this venue created by friendly and helpful staff. Sunday session had a live band and the local fishing club hold a multi draw meat raffle that is really good value, along with a chase the lucky card to finish. The food was well presented, reasonably priced and yummy. There are areas to suit your individual taste including dining, indoor, outdoor etc...

    Great steaks with a variety of toppings to choose, had the special homemade apple crumble, delicious and lovely presented. Friendly staff and excellent service, worth a visit. 👍

    Huge thumbs down to the marine volunteer rescue meat tray raffle, happily take the money for tickets and not announce that they are doing the raffle. When asked “ sorry we have done the raffle all 4 tables plus myself did not hear as they did not even come down to the seating areas to announce the raffle is being called. No cheers or screams for the people who won either… so is the raffle even being drawn????

    Spent the last two nights there for dinner and can't fault the place. Great atmosphere. Thank goodness we don't live there I would be the size of a house. Yummy yummy yummy.

    Have always loved this place - the absolute classic Queensland rural style tavern - the food has always been great and the staff helpful. Depending on the day and how busy, meals can take a little while - but thank goodness there is always some friendly people around for a chat.

    Great food friendly staff, the rotary club of Ormeau Pimpama held their dinner meeting here and will definitely come back again.

  • 5/5 Hans E. 1 year ago on Google
    An LGBTQ+ friendly rural backwater pub? Yep, checks out. Fresh fish and amazing seafood? You bet! Vegetarian options? Several ones, the pumpkin salad is amazing. What else? Pool table, friendly stuff, large seperated restaurant area, really nice smoking/vaping outdoor area, the usual pokies lounge ... ... overall a great tavern!

  • 5/5 Jodie F. 1 year ago on Google
    The Vegetarian pizza with pumpkin consistently makes the omnivores jealous. Great stop for a feed after a day on the water ☺️ I'm just always undecided between beer and coffee.

  • 5/5 Darren R. 3 years ago on Google
    A really nice local pub that has a small country town feel to it. The staff were very friendly and did a good job. The food was nice with generous sized meals. It was fresh tasty and well presented. The kids meals were good value and the kids enjoyed the meal. Nice art on walls was available for purchase and the large tropical fish tank made for a nice setting.

    Great service. Great food. Yummy dessert. And covid safe. Beer is cold We will be back for sure .such a little gem this place. We were the only ones there for about half an hour but the level of service never changed. Very friendly and happy staff.

    Great atmosphere! The right mix for a great spot! The location bonus of being across the road from a top boat ramp definitely helps! 👍👍

  • 4/5 Louise W. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff were lovely and very generous to us today. Our meals were so lovely and the young man was incredibly kind to us and all the customers. Love the fish tank and the theme it’s so relaxing open and inviting. My daughter was so happy to look at the fish and have some colouring to keep her happy while we dined. Definitely would suggest this place to everyone! Great for families.

  • 5/5 James L. 1 year ago on Google
    My son had an unusual menu request which the chef fulfilled with flying colours, he even sent his compliments to the chef saying how much flavour the food had and how much he enjoyed it. Staff were super friendly and will definitely eat there again.

    Had the Wednesday steak deal $21, was expecting it to be chewy rump, but was the best rump ever had, cooked perfectly, tasty and very very tender. Calamari on top was devine, fresh and soft. Top marks, thank you. Overall a good local tavern, all the amenities.

  • 5/5 Matt D. 1 year ago on Google
    Top little pub. Great service, and great meals. Well worth the little drive out to Jacobs Well. They also have bands on out the back quite often. Love the joint!

  • 5/5 Jill Le F. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little country tavern. It was very busy today (Sunday) and there was a great band outside. We had a BBQ Chicken Pizza which was delicious and more than enough for two. Great Counter Service and our meal was delivered quickly and was piping hot.

  • 5/5 Jodie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good food, awesome service. We had a family meal and everyone's food was delicious and desert was super yummy too! I would love to add that it also didn't break our bank accounts to eat out. My partner said it was the best pub steak he's had in 3 years! Thank goodness this place is now our new local.

    OMG! German food for Octoberfest. Quick and efficient, nice atmosphere. Generous food servings, never had cold sauerkraut, but it was nice.
