Great coffee with a variety of milks, friendly staff. Open early! Food fast and yummy but mostly traditional. I had a bacon and egg on first bread. Basic seating benches outside, no seating inside. Plenty of parking.

The service here was friendly quick and polite. The burgers were tasty and freshly made and huge the price was also pretty reasonable and I was left feeling satisfied. Definitely one of the better burgers I've had from a takeaway store. There hot box has lots to offer and they are clearly used to dealing with quiet a bit of foot traffic. The menu was pretty standard so if u want something different and interesting this is not the place for you. If u like burgers and cold drinks and hot box food this I your bar.

This place. Oh my god. I went here with my Father one day. Simple, quiet time just heading home after some early-morning work. Decided on a whim to get some chips and gravy. Normal stuff, right? That gravy. Never before have I experienced a taste so wonderful. Ever since that day I've been trying to make a gravy even remotely similar to it and have failed constantly. Please, even if it's the last thing you can do in the day, go to this store and purchase the chips and gravy. You'll not be disappointed.

Was about to pay $17.00 for a basic beef pattie burger at the wild horse cafe when I did a google maps search and found this place. Had a swagman beef rib fillet burger for $8.50 instead. Friendly service, truly excellent beer battered chips and good prices. My only complaint was the lack of beetroot on my burger but I am sure they would have fixed that for me had I mentioned it when ordering.
