Warradale Hotel

I’ve eaten here in their Bistro a few times. It’s a bit hit and miss. Service varies and ranges from good to late and forgotten about; depending on who is working i guess.
$ 32 for Beef Brisket w pan fried gnocci on salsa verde sounded great. In reality: over priced slosh which reminded me of my favorite tinned tuna.
$ 30 a dozen oysters kilpatrik. Overpriced but okay!
Pub fare inc. schnitzel and lamb salad are all fine and taste decent. Chefs will try to meet requests as a person on my table wanted sweet potato mash instead of chips. That’s worth a star!
The salad bar is pretty good and obviously a draw card utilised by patrons. I saw the potato bake tray replaced on two occasions in 1 hour.
I’ve done the whole hog on my last two times at the Warradale. Next time i think I’ll skimp it and order a schnitty and smash the salad bar.
Honestly i feel sorry for local families in the area taking their kids out to dinner. Prices are steep and alcohol is up there with anywhere. Cheers!

Fantastic service and the food was amazing! The panacotta with the macadamia crumble was to die for. I will be coming back :-)

The pub seems to just get better and better as time goes on. Since I was last here, having a drink after visiting my friend who lived just down the road, they had added a much larger beer garden and had turned it into a bar in and of itself, and I must say that the beer garden was certainly one of the best that I seen (and I have seen some pretty impressive beer gardens). They also have a huge range of ciders on tap (which really impressed my friend as that is his beer of choice). Sure, they have pokies and a sports bar, but they are both separated from the restaurant and the beer garden, so you can have a meal, or simply spend the night in what is essentially a really cool pub.

Hmm was expecting a lot more due to them just receiving an award for best SA Hotel. Came out of my way to eat here especially because of the award.
The décor was very new and pretty funky. It has that new pub feel with lots of trendy areas that you can have that more experience private with cool outside booths and sectioned off areas.
The food was pretty good. The serving was on the small side but fairly comparable to the price. Seems to be a good range of South Australian produce used which is great.
The food customer service could of been more attentive.
All in all it was fine. My expectations due to the award may of been elevated. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back but if I lived in the area I can see the attraction.
The bar staff were lovely.
Try it for yourself though!

My first visit here and the customer service was faultless, the food was delicious especially the chocolate banana pudding with espresso sauce. My only complaint was the coffee but I mentioned this to the waitress when she asked about our meals and she didn’t hesitate to ask what I didn’t like about it and she promptly offered to make me another one or not charge for it. I chose to try another one and it was perfect. The salad/​veggie bar had a nice choice with the mushrooms, roast beetroot and roast carrot been my favourite.

Arrogant and rude staff, ridiculous ‘surcharges’, terrible salad bar and overpriced below average food. Clearly forgets it is a pub/​bistro in Warradale (you’d think their name would help them remember!(
Would never eat here again!

I have been to the Warradale quite a few times; it offers a bar, bistro, Sports bar and gaming area. Also has bottle shop attached and accommodation.
There is an outside area with booths and heaters, as well as a large screen and some areas are sheltered.. They have live entertainment at the weekends.
The food is good and reasonable prices.
It can get busy especially the weekends. Opens till late on a weekend.

Good meals and a great salad bar. Make sure you grab the sauteed mushrooms, and the egg salad. Yum!

The Warradale was frequented by me and friends for the last 4 years… Many weekend spent in the Verandah Bar and outside area in days and evenings! The beer is cold and the food is good… If not slightly over priced! However the old Warra is gone and has just undergone extensive renovations… The sports bar (now the Tavern) is no longer dingy and purple and green, now a large light area still with all the TAB you need! The new bistro is way busy and the food is good, though inconsistent! The Choc fountain is awesome! The new Garden is great with large screen, heating, booths and sheltered areas to sit in! I did notice that after the renovations the prices on the menus had rose a little too… I believe it’s over priced now for a suburban pub! Also the clientele seems to have changed from normal families and couples to posers and and bloke that’s look like gangsters being cool! Hopefully the normal folk will return after the hype dies down abit… The rest can return to the highway!

As I used to live across the train station to the Warradale Hotel I have had many meals there. The food is always great, the beer is always cold, and the staff are always very lovely! It’s a relatively busy bistro, filled with mostly older couples enjoying their stay at the hotel. So if you’re looking for a trendy place to eat, this isn’t it, but if you’re simply looking for a good feed at a good price then this is the place to go. It definitely does not look like much, but it is definitely worth a look at for their specials. Also, with the Oaklands Park train station being within walking distance, it’s an easy spot to get to. It’s also quite close to the Marion Shopping Centre if you were looking for a quieter spot to have a drink after a big day of shopping, rather than at one of the bars in the shopping centre.

As a kid I lived in the south western suburbs of Adelaide and as a result would go past The Warradale pub at least two or three times a week. Several decades down the track I finally decided to go in and was pleasantly surprised.
This pub — and yes its still a pub — has just undergone extensive renovations so it’s a now a million miles away from that daggy old pub my bus used to go past on the way to Marion Shopping Centre.
Great meal. Their roast of the day was sensational! It was roast pork with gravy and instead of mushy pub veg that you sometimes get, I had bok choy, green beans, roast potato and roast carrot. My friend had their Wagyu Beef Burger but wasn’t so engrossed with his meal. This time I think he had food envy. FYI, the meals were $ 17 and $ 16 respectively. We also scored two pints of pale ale for $ 10 as we were in the midst of happy hour.
We ate in the Verandah Bar which I gather is the equivalent of the old style Saloon Bar. And we also walked through the Tavern Bar which had to be the equivalent of an old Front Bar — lots of blokes having a bet and a beer. Even though their food has moved with the times, this is still a bit of a working man’s pub and I in no way mean that in a derogatory sense. I think that’s a good thing — a working man needs a good pub to visit at the end of a hard week’s work — as does a working woman!
