Reviews for Moon Dog World

This is a wonderful spot for families looking to enjoy quality food, refreshing drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant provides a welcoming ambiance that suits all ages, making it a great choice for family gatherings. The food and drinks are of excellent quality, clearly made with care and fresh ingredients. There’s a varied menu that caters to diverse tastes, offering everything from classic comfort foods to unique dishes that make the dining experience memorable. The staff is attentive and friendly, ensuring that each guest feels valued. They go above and beyond to accommodate any requests, contributing to an enjoyable dining experience. Pricing is reasonable, especially given the quality and portion sizes, making it a great value for families. It's worth noting that there is a 15% surcharge on public holidays, which is well-communicated and fairly standard for many places, given the holiday operating costs. Parking is convenient and secure, with a spacious lot available behind the venue. This is especially helpful as the front of the restaurant has some “no parking” zones, so guests should plan to park at the back to avoid any inconvenience. On a warm day, their beer selection is a fantastic way to cool down. They offer a variety of options to suit different preferences, from refreshing lagers to richer ales, enhancing the experience, especially if you’re seated outdoors. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to relax and enjoy time with family, while also appealing to casual diners who appreciate a lively atmosphere. The entire family enjoyed the vibe, and it’s definitely a place we would return to for future occasions.

Great place for big groups. Playground for kids, some machine games as well. Wide variety of drinks and was very surprised the food was delicious and portion was value for money. Except for the fish taco, a little disappointed and had a fish bone in it.

I love this place! It has a great vibe. It is perfect for a relaxed casual get together, I invited friends and family for my birthday. Everybody is impressed with the set up the moment they first walk in, and its welcoming for all ages. Staff are friendly and the food and the drinks are great!

Went with some friends for a Saturday lunch. The food took 45-50 mins to arrive. We had drinks which made the wait ok. It's a great place for families. There were a lot of kids running about but they were all good and seemed entertained. When the food came, we were a little famished and I forgot to take photos. Sorry. The food was good. Overall, I will definitely suggest this for families.

Atmosphere? We went on a busy Saturday night. There was a DJ, kids running around the playground and quite a few big groups so it was noisy (as you would expect). The pool is the feature and is quite cute with its signs to beware of sharks. Food? Food was great, we shared the pulled pork tacos and chips and they were perfected cooked and seasoned. My only suggestion would be to include jalapeños on the menu as my husband would have taken these off. The kids hot dogs and chips were a good size. Service? As it was a busy night service at the bar was slow but the wait staff delivering the food were kind and helpful. Overall a good family night out. Recommended.
