We (and other people we know) haven’t had any long wait times at all - it may have been extenuating circumstances, however, I understand your frustration. Should you be in Bangalow again, give them a second chance. Then you’ll notice how nice the food is! It is a shame that you experienced that, Keith, I shall be sure to let Marion know.

We arrived at 7:30 PM (5 of us) and had to wait until 8:10PM to have our order taken. The entre arrived at 8:45 (with the samoosas frozen in the middle) and the main meal arrived at 9:30PM, 2 hours after we were seated!! When we queried the 2-hour wait (before the arrival of the main meal) the owner marched to our table with the order details and indignantly berated us for our query saying it had only taken 1 hour and 20 minutes (8:10 to 9:30) for our meals to arrive, not 2 hours. We tried to point out the 40 minute wait to have our order taken but were curtly cut short. We became invisible in case her belligerence resulted in even more of a wait (we were starving by now and it was too late to go anywhere else). By the time the food arrived we were so hungry we wolfed it down without noticing whether it was good or not. Curt animosity from the owner as we paid the bill, and we left. So... maybe good, maybe bad food. But I don't have to travel 500 kilometres to be treated with curt arrogance. So one place I'll never go again.
