Rex Hotel

Had a Birthday Party for 14 people. Every meal that was brought to the table was lovely. We are from a restaurant family so we know how meals are prepared and presented and we weren’t disappointed. The staff are friendly and considerate. And the new revamp looks great. Will definitely return. Thank you to all the staff.

Our car club visited the Rex for a meal before our monthly meeting. I had one of the best pub meals in a long time! Chose the Lamb Pie, which came with gravy and a mash, and the best prepared/cooked vegetables I've had in a pub. The pie was excellent too, with a great filling of lamb, and a crisp pastry. Obviously a bit of thought has gone into this meal, especially the vegetables which were cooked to perfection. Well done - a revelation. Will be back.

The Rex is our regular hotel for dinner. The service is always welcoming and attentive. Even when under the pump we are still happy with everything. The food is always delicious. There’s too many staff to mention but Alisha, Lyn, Lisa, Amy and Michael go out of their way to make sure everything is just right. Thanks guys.

Had my 75th birthday lunch with family at the Rex. Had the Roast Beef which was tender with great vegies. Surprise was a Sticky Date pudding with Happy Birthday on the plate. Thanks go to Ash for the extra surprise in putting the customer first. The meals were greatly enjoyed by all the family. We will be back next month.

Christmas in July function Saturday night. Food was amazing. Atlantic salmon was yum and great value. Staff friendly Food came out pretty quickly Very clean and tidy venue Definitely recommended

Amazing service and really cool staff. Food was incredible, I got the pork ribs, and the serving size was massive, tasted phenomenal. Staff even provided sweet chilli and sour cream on the house for the wedges it came with. We have only been here twice and both times the service has been the best we have ever had from any restaurant/pub.

The rooms are modern and comfortable. I cannot say enough about the restaurant. I require gf and do not like to make a fuss about it but the staff were amazing. The chef was concerned about what I ordered. There would be cross contamination with the chips so the waiter came to me and offered an alternative option. He came back after my food was delivered to check that I was happy. I’m so impressed with the whole experience. 10/10

I have been a regular patron of the Rex over the years, and certainly enjoy the new dining room. Had an excellent meal last night - delicious steak, sticky-date pudding, and a hot chocolate - all delivered by the excellent Amy and the other two staff (unfortunately, I didn't get their names). Brilliant service from them all - friendly and attentive. Thank you!

Well, I've been hammering through my reviews to try and get through all of the outstanding ones (that is the ones that I haven't posted yet) before I head off on my next adventure, and it seems that I have reached the section where I have listed all of the really bad places that I would simply not recommend. As you can guess from this intro the Rex is basically one of those places. Mind you, inner Adelaide, like many of the other cities, has been transforming, however that transformation does not appear to have hit the Rex at this time. It's been here a while, and I have frenquented this place on occasion, and honestly, very, very little has changed with the place. It certainly isn't a pub that I would recommend - it has little character, and little to make me want to come back again, especially since there are pubs that are a thousand times better in the local area.

Visited the Rex with my parents and younger siblings on a Saturday night. The staff were pretty helpful, and the atmosphere was very comfortable and country-esque. Our meals arrived really quickly, a lot faster than I expected given the place looked pretty packed! My dad and myself had the special- a 500g steak for $20 on Saturday (there are different specials each day of the week). It was really tasty, even as a non-steak person! My mother had a chicken breast dish which I tasted and was also really nice! They also have a salad bar, which is a nice change from many other restaurants these days. The salads I tried were very nice, including coleslaw, which I usually find to be really gross when anyone but me makes it! Overall it was a really nice meal out and satisfied a group of varying ages and tastes. Also, there is a quiz night on Saturday evenings that is free, and uses multiple choice questions/answer buttons at tables. We didn't stay for this, but it looked like it would've been fun!

Chats bistro ...value for money, great friendly staff, comfortable with space to move, and quiet enough to hold a conversation even when packed ... Food is always enjoyed...

When I first went into the Rex Hotel, told by a friend that we had to go there for dinner, I was very unsure. But once I was in there I was definitely sold. Having an old school country vibe, like as if I was in the local RSL back in my home town of Mildura, it has a really nice atmosphere and (if the right people are putting in the coins) good music played on the jukebox. There are also a number of pool tables, which I don't seem to find a lot of in hotel-pubs. What I was most surprised was with the quality of the chicken schnitzel I had. I mean, I know, how can you screw up a schnitzel? But this one just seemed to be amazing. The pepper gravy was really tasty without being too hot, which I really like.

This place was near my old work so was handy to go through their drive thru bottle shop sometimes and we even had a Xmas lunch here, mind you we had it in January. Pretty much just the bottleshop faces the road and you go around the back for the main entrance. There's plenty of parking on site if you do drive. The meal we had here wan't bad but it wasn't something to brag about. Just average I guess. However I have also used this Hotel for accomodation for staff we had to bring over for certain events. Their accomodation is very well priced and the rooms are fine. When I have rung to make any bookings or for any other dealings I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Definitely offer great accomodation at fantastic prices and still very close to the city.

Lunch was mediocre at best, and our meals took quite awhile to arrive. lucky I had great company.
