Book a table in advance or you'll miss out on sitting down to enjoy a great meal and fantastic opportunity to people watch. Arrived 1130am on a Sunday, decent queue of people already forming and a 30 minute wait for burgers. Brisket burger and a blueberry & rosemary spritz were to die for. Meat so juicy and tender smothered in caramelized onions and cheese served between two thicc brioche buns. Spritz was a nice refreshing addition to the meal.

Nice quiet location. Very generous servings of food. We ordered a 5 person Feed the Crew box which could have been enough food for 7. Meat was tender and on point and came with a generous helping of chips and sides.

Dined in and loved the Cheese Mushroom Omelet with Bacon — perfectly cooked in olive oil and packed with flavor. A great spot for a satisfying and delicious breakfast!

5 STARS DESERVED ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food looked so aesthetically pleasing, tasted immaculate. Smoothies and milkshakes come in cute jars. The songs playing were also really cool. The banana bread was the best banana bread I’ve ever had.

Friday night, after a magnificent event in the afternoon in Sydney, my daughter wanted some fantastic food at the Entrance North. WSo, we made our way to ‘Cue and Crew’ where we discovered some incredible smoky American-style barbecue! Everything that we tried was beyond amazing! Not only was the brisket, pork belly, ribs, smoky wings, and burgers beyond perfection, the service was well above what we expected. Personal, truly caring, and the love of their craft was obvious! The ribs were a fall-off-the-bone masterpiece, and the wings weren’t just little partial joints, they were full wings that were brilliantly, smoked, and then finished off with a beautiful glaze! The Cue burger was a fist full of OMG! I chose brisket as the meat and the coleslaw with the house made pickles really made the experience way beyond my expectations. The brioche bun was perfect, and the deep and gentle Aussie iron bark smoke flavour was enticing as well as balanced. Anna, Chris, Maddie and Alex are doing a fantastic job! It’s worth every moment you spend there. We will absolutely be heading back soon!

Food is amazing!!! I'm from the Hunter valley and we pay more for less delicious food. Service was lovely, really nice staff. We had lunch and went back for breakfast the next morning. We'll definitely go back when we travel again. Salmon is delicious!! Eggs benedict is a must for breakfast.

Delicious! This was our local on our most recent holiday, and what a great local to have. A delightful barista, fantastic coffee, and brilliant burgers. They went out of their way to make a vegetarian meal for my mum, which she loved. Seriously, lovely people and fantastic food. Being dog-friendly is also a huge bonus. We will be back soon... I'm still dreaming about those pickles.

Another find via Google Maps. We were on our way from a trip to the Central Coast very recently when we wanted a quick meal late afternoon with easy parking. Not many cafes are open late afternoon on a Friday. This bar/cafe is located in a residential neighbourhood. Given they are a bar as well, they must have a good relationship in the community. A nachos and beer hit the spot. You can see from the photo the nachos looks good and was tasty. Maybe they designed the dish more as a cool dish with melted cheese. In my view the meat component and beans should be have hot - they were tepid. Otherwise I enjoyed the nachos. The serving size was good. Overall, the venue was pleasant, the service OK. The public facing staff are very young and may I say did a good job. We did not have our dogs with us this time, however note they are dog friendly with a large outside area.
