From day one Hog's Breath set out to be unlike any other restaurant in appearance, atmosphere, style and type of service it offered patrons.

Hog's Breath can be credited with developing and specialising Prime Rib Steaks in Australia, with the boast that there's not a more tender, mouth-watering steak to be found anywhere. To complement this signature dish and its diverse menu, Hog's Breath has created a distinctive style for people who enjoy casual dining experiences.

In a nutshell, it's all about providing quality food and beverage services in an informal, yet comfortable environment with an overriding friendly, party atmosphere.

All Hog's Breath Cafes are in essence themed licensed restaurants catering to all ages. They incorporate three interacting components - a seated food service area, a licensed saloon bar and a merchandise shop exclusively carrying the Hogster clothing label.

"Meals for our table came out 30 minutes apart. Some diners had finished before all the main meals were served. No one willingly offered drinks, we had to chase the staff for them. Won't go back, ruined a birthday celebration."

"Great food and drinks available. Relaxed environment. Wait staff need to be more vigilent and actually return and serve more drinks and take orders sooner though" more reviews

Overall 2 - Food 2, Ambience 4, Value 1, Service 1

Meals for our table came out 30 minutes apart. Some diners had finished before all the main meals were served.

No one willingly offered drinks, we had to chase the staff for them. Won't go back, ruined a birthday celebration.   (Sharon - See my reviews (8) - June, 2008)

Great food and drinks available. Relaxed environment. Wait staff need to be more vigilent and actually return and serve more drinks and take orders sooner though   (Kate - See my reviews (7) - January, 2008)

Overall 10 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 10, Service 10

Went to Hogs Breath and I would have to say this is the best place I have ever eaten. Food was scrumptious and the service was absolutely excellent! Looking at this recent review I can not understand how you had a bad night. Would you rather people ask to take your order or not get it taken at all? I know what I would prefer. Well done Hogs Breath, will be back!!   (Rach - January, 2008)

Overall 4.3 - Food 5, Ambience 4, Value 5, Service 3

Tried here, won't go back. Waited 30min before someone came to take our order and we asked for Bruschetta (off the menu) and the waitress said "the what??" and had to go find out what that was. after we finally got our order taken we had 4 more waiters come and ask us if we where ready to order and we had to tell them all we already had. The food was very average and after our meals came out no one checked or offered more drinks or even water, no one offered dessert menu or coffee. After awhile we just got up paid and left. Hogs breath might want to spend 10min on training it's staff.   (D & B - See my reviews (5) - January, 2008)
