The Criterion Hotel Motel

Looking for a feed after 20:00 in Rockhampton- good luck with that, however, this pub takes orders to I believe 21:00 on weeknights. That is usually after the time that most others are ( as I experienced also) literally asking you to pay the bill and push you out of the doors. So, bonus 1, bonus 2, the pub food was quite OK, the beer selection was-conservative tho'. Bonus 3, nice quaint place with competent staff. So yes, recommend this place.

Last night at Criterion Hotel Rocky the rest of the dinner was overall okay but the green beans served with my salmon were old and bad and it was truly frustrating because fresh green or French beans should taste good and have a better texture in fact I know if they’re fresh and new. 2 ladies who served me was so kind smiling and warmly welcoming

Fantastic meal, great value. Lemon garlic chicken whilst cooked perfectly could be improved as the lemon is the overpowering taste on an otherwise great meal. Kids pasta was excellent value and tasted great. Sticky date pudding was delicious but might be better served in a bowl. Restaurant hard to understand seating arrangements and seating options are poor, staff were just good (some checked out whilst others going above) and even on a busy night food was prompt.

Amazing find in a great Queensland town. Historical and beautiful building, walking distance to everything. New barman Aydden is a great hire, outstanding personality and mixes drinks with precision. Try a Negroni, or an original Mai Tai (not the fruity kind, the classic kind) wont disapoint. Food choices are also great, quality, portions and price, all spot on.
