                                                          Garry and his team were very accomodating when we attended Roast Republic with a Bux party of 12. One of our guests is a pescatarian and he was looked after and raved about how good the fish was. All the food Food was quick to come out, was hot, fresh and really tasty. The wait staff were always prepared to make sure you had what you needed and that the scraps etc were out of the way. None of us had been to Roast Republic before and attended purely on the back of reviews and Im happy to report, it more than lived up to the reviews. Great place and people.

                                                          Had a great meal here! We ordered the beef ribs and chicken wings combo—huge portions, so much that we couldn’t finish it all. The beef ribs were incredibly tender, just falling off the bone. The chicken wings were tasty but a bit too sweet for my liking. Overall, really good food and definitely worth trying!

                                                          We traveled from rural NSW for my husbands 40th Birthday. The staff were unbelievable, so helpful, we had a cake delivered and stored in the cool room, one guest had food intolerances and they worked around that for us. Easily the best restaurant we’ve been to, and food was amazing! Everyone had an excellent night - thank you.

                                                          We visit there first time. It's our travel time in Australia. I went to there with my husband 22 feb 2025 Foods, staff, atmosphere, service.. everything was great as review. We are Japanese so we were afraid of being discriminated but all staff are so kind and cared about us so sincerely. Their service was really really great. Top of Sydney!! Thank you so much and I'd like to go again.

                                                          The Texan Feast was delicious and the portion is perfect for two hungry people! I'd love to go again and try something else on the menu.

                                                          Burger was great. Fries delicious. Jambalaya was not to my liking. Spicers were off, veggies weren’t cut up and were hard and the seafood wasn’t great. Service was excellent!! Meat platters looked and smelled amazing. I’d try again
