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.

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.

Came with my hubby last night, travelling through Australia for 3 months. Amazing place, great foodN great location, and great cover band last night. What made the night extra special, young Barkeep from Canada, exceptional servie, smiles and literally the best cocktails we have had on this entire trip. Ayden, you are simply great,
