    Wouldn't say there is a huge selection but was quite amazed on the quality of food. Lovely service and great ambient environment. The kids area has one entrance and exit with TV surveillance so you can keep an eye out on the young ones whilst dining.

    We have 5 kids so this is a great place for us! Food is great and chefs were more than happy to help out with serving at the buffet as we had our hands full with the kids. Super friendly staff and a HUGE play area for kids. The TV's near the dining area are awesome for viewing the kids while they play! 10 out of 10 for us! Great place!!

    I took 18 members of our group for lunch today and everyone was very satisfied with the quality of the food, it was fresh, hot and plentiful. The roasts (3different ones) were delicious, tender and juicy. The desserts were plentiful also. Would definitely go again.

    Brilliant buffet here. There's everything from fresh prawns, asian dishes, baked dinner, pizza, salads and a whole lot more. All cooked fresh and piping hot. It's a bit pricey at $40 per person on Sundays, but well worth it. Definately worth a visit if you're in the area.

    Ok! So I have gone here to celebrate my birthday with my family today and the food was not as good as it was back then ๐Ÿ˜ซ and as I was sitting there just having a bowl of icecream I watched how they clean the tables after a group of families left, they used only 1 cloth to wipe the chairs and tables down and not only that, the same cloth was used to wipe the salt and pepper jars that's on the table ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคข I don't know if that's okay to do that ?

    Food:Decent Location: Spacious. Great for kids. Service: Acceptable. Value: Great value. Awesome for humongous groups and catch ups. Best place for kids with probably the largest play area in a Melbourne restaurant.

    Offering an impressive array of dishes that cater to a diverse range of palates. The salad bar boasted fresh, crisp greens and a plethora of toppings. The hot food section offered a tantalizing selection of international cuisines, from savory Indian curries to perfectly grilled Mediterranean delights.

    We go the buffet here every now and then. Very family friendly, loads of food and is actually really nice. Chicken beef, fish, calamari , prawns, vegetables, lots of desserts. The plates get cleared quickly. Drinks can be a little expensive but really worth a try and make sure you book before you go.

    Spent a few afternoons there while studying for a week. Friendly service. When I rang and said that I lost my wallet and where I was they found it immediately. I was most thankful

    Bistro staff were lovely. Terrible atmosphere in gaming room. One group reserving multiple machines. Made it hard for others to get one. Gaming staff member, was not interested in peoples complaints. I take it she can't deal with conflict or they are regulars and spend a lot of money and she was happy for them to do it. Resulting in a screaming match amongst patrons. One of those ladies was banging a machine so loudly, not one staff member asked her to not do it. Instead we all had to listen to it whilst she yelled across the room to all her friends and talking loudly an another language. I speak a secondly, and just like your first you don't need to yell!!! Won't be taking my elderly mother there again.. Not the Braybrook hotel l remember it as.

    Good place, and great for the kids to play. But the food is below average for an all you can eat place. It used to be a lot better. Not a place I would recommend to go more than once.

    Food is delicious not as many options as food star, but they have a kids play area which has live feed video to TVs in the dining area so you can stay at your table while the little ones play. Will definitely be returning for future family functions

    Lived in the area for awhile now but first time to try the buffet at Braybrook Hotel. Loved it!!! Stuffed myself up real good๐Ÿ˜ For $40 weekend lunch, it's worth every dollar. Even cheaper on weekdays. I had almost everything but d prawns and lamb, pork n beef roasts were the stars for me. Other dishes were great too like the crumbed calamari, lasagna, salads, roast veggies, pork cracking, sticky date pudding n sweet fresh watermelons n other fruits. There were others too but i didn't went for them again the second n third times i went back... just went back for good stuff ๐Ÿ˜œ

    Calamari is possibly the best Iโ€™ve had in Melbourne. Soft and tender without being rubbery. The staff are super helpful and friendly. I was able to feel confident that my Gluten Free requirement was being catered to. Oh, and the portion was not small. I got my moneyโ€™s worth.

    Food was average with some of the meat had dried out. No free coffee or tea which is a bit strange considering its a buffet. The kids play are was good and the swcurity cameras to allow parents to keep an eye on them is a great idea.

    Limited selection of foods - food was warm/cold and not fresh most of the time. Food options were appalling. Definitely not worth the price especially for children. We had multiple 5-7 year old's that barely ate and had to pay $20+ entry.

    I am very surprised at the good quality of food available in this buffet. Usually this would DEFINATELY not be my choice of how to eat, but the variety and quality of food in this buffet is really good. The food was fresh and appetising. The hot selection was hot and the desert choices were fantastic. I would suggest getting to the venue early to avoid the crush as clearly the word has spread. Will be going back for more.

  • 5/5 shayne j. 1 year ago on Google โ€ข 96 reviews
    We love Braybrook hotel, with a 3 yr old the the inside play equipment is perfect, date night for sure. The food is of excellent quality with many meals to choose from, pasta, seafood, carvery, salads and a good selection of deserts. Staff have always been so nice and helpful, if your in the area itโ€™s definitely worth having a meal, especially with kids.

    We come to the Braybrook Hotel for their buffet lunch a few times a year. The staff are always friendly, and the place is neat and tidy. The food is fresh and delicious, with a huge variety of dishes from different cuisines. Itโ€™s a great place to meet and have a meal with friends or family.

    I invited my family to have lunch buffet last week. The place was clean and tidy and staffs were friendly. We were enjoying the atmosphere and the foods were great. The chefs were fantastic and kept adding foods. I would recommend them if you have family functioning or friends gathering in there. This is a good place in local community hospitality service.

    Great value. Quality food. Nice succulent lamb roast. Great facility play area for kids, but needs monitoring so you can control the bigger kids that are swearing every third word.

  • 4/5 Lora W. 5 months ago on Google โ€ข 9 reviews
    Our family celebrated my husband's birthday with a lunch on Saturday 21st October. There were 6 of us, including a 14mth old toddler. We were seated promptly, a high chair provided for our little one. The meal was a hot & cold buffet with plenty of variety. Seafood, chicken, beef, curries, hot sides, salads, etc...... There were also many dessert options. The atmosphere was relaxed, & family friendly. Drinks were readily available. All the staff we interacted with were courteous & friendly. It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours together. Our toddler enjoyed his lunch, as there were many options he likes. He also spent some time in the playroom. Would recommend for a casual meal.

    Food is fresh and not overly seaon which is good. But would love to see more varieties. Suggestion to owner, maybe do once a month special weekend night with more seafood, happy to pay extra. On another note, kids love the playground.

  • 5/5 Esteban R. 4 years ago on Google
    Lots of parking and a fantastic experience. I'm member if this club and I have come over many times. What I like the most is the buffet area along with my wife. They offer 20AUD discount as a birthday present, they have a gaming room, sports bar, main bar, a couple of pool tables and a bistro area

  • 5/5 Daniela K. 4 months ago on Google
    Very nice food for a buffet. Fresh and tasty! Calamari and the sticky date pudding was the stand out dishes. Bonus, the kids play area!

    Option for young and older, big playground area with cctv so you don't need to follow your kids around. Food was surprisingly tasty, good selection of roasts, seafood and salands. Desserts were all yummy.

  • 5/5 Gary M. 8 months ago on Google
    Gave the venue a good and I gotta say EVERYTHING was amazing! From the food to the service. The staff being friendly and inviting. The chef seeing me and asking if I was enjoying my food. An absolutely amazing venue and experience. Will be returning again.

    The food was nothing special, very average. The mains were bland with no spark! The best part of the desserts was the raspberry jelly.

    We celebrated a special 80th for my grandmother at Braybrook Hotel. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great. Special mention to chef Nathan for his assistance with the birthday cake. He was professional, friendly and had the best sense of humour.

    Before I went here I was expecting this place to be average. I have lived most my life in the West and have avoided this place. Yesterday we were invited to a kids birthday and I was shocked. The Buffet quality is something you see in the city and not the suburbs. The Food was amazing and had such a a wide variety of food and sweets. The kids play area was large with three levels and they loved playing in there for hours. The only thing that was slightly negative was the gaming patrons smoking at the front door entrance. Overall this place especially the Buffet was excellent, staff were friendly and you could communicate any allergies your concerned with to the Chef.Big Thumbs Up ๐Ÿ‘

    Tasty food of all different sorts. Great for the whole family!

  • 1/5 Grant S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was disgusting. Overpriced smorgasbord. No bread or bread rolls. When I asked for a bread roll, I was told they get stolen and so do the prawns which looked like they have been frozen and unfrozen ten times over. $68 for absolute garbage for the 2 of us. Do not bother unless you want to have gastro for the next 5 days. We expected a decent meal, instead I had a tiny bit of pasta and left hungry. Disgraceful

  • 3/5 Jesse E. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly the quality has dipped a bit in the last few years I used to really like coming here for the buffet but the last couple of times Iโ€™ve been with friends the food has been about 50/50 whether itโ€™s good or not. Hope to see some of the quality come back in the future but overall not a bad place to come if you want a buffet experience on the lower end for price most days.

  • 3/5 Lyn M. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been here before and found the food hot and very yummy. Customer service was good. Tonight unfortunately no.

  • 5/5 100lucch 1 year ago on Google
    I haven't been to the buffet for a few years and back then I would say the quality was very good but limited choices. Now I will say the quality of the food is still very good and there are now more choices than before. Not huge like some places but enough to satisfy. We all really enjoyed our food there.

  • 5/5 Mina K. 1 year ago on Google
