Went in for a Saturday lunch, got there before everybody else, so we had great service - love the atmosphere there, My foodie family were impressed with their lunches and although tasty, my wedges were just too thick. But well worth a second visit next time they are up.

We just drove by and saw this nice kinda an antique place hid behind other building.s. At first we were not sure whether to go or not. So we both decided to go in, but actually the atmosphere was not that bad. The cocktail prawn was delicious followed with Venison was devine. We both were amazed how the foods were so good that we had to dine in there againšŸ˜„šŸ‘šŸ‘

Oh my goodness!! You want to be wowed then you need to come here!! First time tonight with our 2 boys! We were greeted and seated straight away! SERVICE WAS EXCEPTIONAL!!! ( we were served by Agnus) Kids were served soooo fast!! That never happens!! .... And then our meals came ... Well way to blow our minds!! My partner gt the slow roasted pork hock and it just literally fell off the bone it was that tender!! I got the pork ribs and wow I was expecting more bone then meat but man was I wrong!! The meat was so tender aswell, the sauce was to die for and even the slaw had to be eaten!! I can not rave about this place enough!! The food, the service, the atmosphere EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!! If I could rate this higher then 5 I would!! Will be here regularly!!!

Nice new revamp to the place
beautifully done. Place is really nice, food was good and nicely priced. 4 of
us cost $180 in totally and we ordered entrees, mains and desserts and drinks.
Eton mess was really good; The Pork spare ribs were really enjoyable huge
serving, the fries were nice and golden and the salad nice fresh crisp love a
good simple salad with good fries! Huge serve of meat in the roast. The service
was great the atmosphere was great a real family restaurant but also good fr a
chilling out grab a meal kind of place with some mates. The downsideā€¦. Possibly
donā€™t sit 4 adults in the kids section, we couldnā€™t hear each other talk and
possibly ended up being louder than the kids - upside to that.... the kids went homeĀ after around an hour with all the families so we had the corner to ourselves....Ā But the service was awesome,
friendly and attentive, very professional yet casually relaxed so we could
enjoy and relax. Love the Artists all over the restaurant and we had a blast
being artist ourselves!Ā  Recommend for a
nice relaxed, well serviced night out.

I booked through Menu Mania but it pays to phone and check the next day as I did and surprise surprise they had not checked their emails and had no record of our booking.
We arrived 20 minutes early and were asked to wait in the bar, 20 minutes after our booked time a waitress approached us and apologized for the delay and when we asked for complimentary drinks she was quite happy to supply them.
The service overall was great, the food was average-good but it was apparent that there were a lot of people in the restaurant.
Would recommend the prawn twisters but not the loaf bread which had possibly been microwaved and was stodgy and hard as it cooled. Other meals had were the fish and chips, Cajun burger, Boss burger and the Lamb salad.
Eaton mess was the only dessert ordered and was disappointing - crisp meringue- not much cream-lots of juice and berries - where was the chewy meringue??
Overall a pleasant night but would probably choose another night of the week to go other than a Saturday.

Awesome atmosphere, with a lot of thought inducing decor from yesteryear horse racing. They also have a great range of meals and knowledgeable waiting staff.
Super friendly staff, combined with decent prices can't be beat. Cheers

I have dined at One Good Horse for both lunch and dinner on numerous occasions and love it. The menu has a great variety, is very well priced for the portion sizes and the staff are always very attentive. I love their outdoor area and the horse/racing theme as the decor is done very well. I don't live in the area but feel it is definitely worth any travel to dine there.

Well we took our two daughters 8 and 12 and our extended family inclduing our elderly parents. The interior was very cool .The kids loved drawing their horses. Service was faultless, food was varied, reasonably priced and fresh, and delicious! Impressed with the kids meals as they were fresh and a little more like wee meals than the standard hot dog or chicken nugget and chips!
We will definately be back again. Only fault would say it was a little noisey but was very busy!.

I absolutely love One Good Horse! My partner and I often go there, either by ourselves, with a child, or in a group. Very child friendly.

Fantastic & interesting decor, friendly & knowledgeable, happy staff (from what I've seen) I'm yet to fault it. Meals are of a generous portion for the price, consistent in quality (hat tip to the chefs out the back, whom I might add, always have a smile for you and seem genuinely pleased when thanked for a good meal)

I had the Goat Curry special a few weeks back - divine!

Keep up the good work, One Good Horse, I'll be there this Sunday for a feed :)

I went with my family for a Birthday lunch on Sunday.

All family members enjoyed the experience and the food was exceptional.
I have health issues with gluten and my needs were met by the caring staff helping me make choices that my diet required.
Thank you

Our family group of 9 went to One Good Horse for lunch today - Mother's Day. It was our first visit. What a treat! The fitout is exceptional. The service and food could not be faulted. The menu is clever as it caters for all tastes, including children. We will be back again as soon as possible. Hats off to whoever put it all together - it is a winner!

Went to 1 Good Horse with a group of 4 ( all over 50). I picked the prawn twisters as a starter, followed by the pork hock. The prawn twisters were a great start to the meal. But then came the pork hock! In my view, everybody in the world should have the ability to try this :-). It was one of the best main course meals I have had. My best mate also had this and we were both salivating, looking at the plate. The meat fall off the bone and the taste was great!
The interaction, looking at the open grill was also a great talking point. Will be back!!!

Don't let the car park fool you this is an excellent place to enjoy a meal. The service staff were really knowledgeable and professional, the decor intriguing and the food was super good. There were five of us and the fussy fish eaters thought their meals were great and I thought the chicken burger had the tastiest, juiciest, mouth watering amazing piece of chicken I have eaten this century! So nice to have a whole dining experience of wonderness.

Went here for Valentines day and the atmosphere was nice with candles and changing lights. We were seated in a dimly light corner and it was all very romantic and there were enough spaces around the tables that we could have an intimate conversation without anyone overhearing us. It was a quiet and nice atmosphere.

The service was great and the staff were very pleasant. My partner had the steak with chips and salad, and he said that the steak was cooked perfectly and the chips with the gravy sauce was exceptional. I had the sicilian pizza, which I didn't realise that it had more meat than expected and was quite spicy. But the base was very nice. If I knew it had that much meat I would've ordered a vegetarian or margarita pizza but nevertheless it was still an alright pizza if you like meat. We shared the creme brulee for dessert with poached fruit. The creme brulee was perfect and delicious while the poached fruit was apricot and had the essence of aniseed, which I didn't like.

Overall it was a good place to dine especially since I have high expectation than usual for Valentine's Day but One Good Horse was a fine choice and I will recommend and will be back. Worth the drive all the way to Parklands for this restaurant.

i went to one good horse last night after hearing from a mate last week that it was an experience of a life time.
so I took my partner along and we entered into what it seemed like a dreamworld for jockeys and horse lovers. saddles on the wall, pictures of old school races and so much life to the restaurant.
I had the prawn cocktail for entree and was delicious. the only negative was that i felt guilty for treating myself. service was very good. The ribs for my main was perfect and i would get it again when i go back. really good to see what woodpeckers was. and how it has changed to One Good Horse and how it has improved with the quality of the food and service. Top marks. would recommend One Good Horse to everyone.

Had a fantastic meal here today. Sat at the table right in front of the Chef - fascinating listening to the service!
We had the Seafood Chowder and Prawn Twists (prawns wrapped in filo, with Asian dipping sauce) for entree. That was followed by fish of the day and carbonara, with afogato and creme brulee for desert. Service was excellent and so was the food. Will definitely be going back, sooner rather than later.

Fabulous food, great atmosphere but very uncomfortable chairs. Suggest management look at getting some chairs for those with more than stick like proportions as the shape at the back of the chair digs into ones hips and my proportions are not overly ample!!

The horse racing themed restaurant was a hit with our crowd. The kids play area was the definite winner...inside and the parents could easily keep an eye on the kids from the position of some of the dining tables. Very helpful attentive staff.

Food was awesome, vegetarian options for me and partner enjoyed the shanks alot, everything was gobbled up, loved that they did a kids platter with fruit and veg and not just fried options for kids. The drawcard was the indoor playground alongside the restaurant for us to come here and did not disappoint our young daughter at all, great playground. We will definitely come again.

This place was a great place to visit for families and large groups .Has a large play area inside. We were a large group so had a little wait for our meals.They arrived soon after I went and asked if we could have the children's meals brought out. I had Seafood Chowder. It was delicious. My son couldn't even finish his meal of Pork Ribs. The only thing I would like to mention. It would of been nice to be offered more drinks while having our meal.

Has a really good play area for children aged 2 and up. With an easy climb up to the slide. They also have a TV in there playing movies to keep them entertained when they need a break from playing. Really handy if you are able to get a table close by so the kids can come and go as they need to. The food is really good also. They also have a good children's menu with a variety of things to choose. Really great value for money.

It was quite busy so service was a bit slow but we chatted away the time and enjoyed the meals. Six adults and three young ones. Now I love my Sticky Date puddings. This one was the biggest AND the BEST i have had. Price good too.

Too much bacon in fettuccine, also very hard. Nice waitress, seemed new. But she was caring and consientious-Kaitlin. It would be good if she Introduced herself. Yummy garlic bread and delicious seafood chowder. My young kids loved the playground..ensure u book a booth and near to. My dad didn't specify seating in booking n my3 and 5yo kids were sprinting past main thoroughfare n son fell off his chair 2x. O my. But we def heading back there one week soon!

Dined here for the first time last night for my daughters birthday. Walked in as a group of 7 not realizing how busy it was. We were happy to wait in the bar for a drink before dinner as that's what we were going to do anyway. Our table was ready within the time we were told. Meals came out fast & were amazing. We will definitely be coming back again. Flawless service. And a great family atmosphere.

Good pub food in the One Good Horse. Took a while to get used to the old leather sadle smell. Pizza was tasty with a thin crust. One of the few places with a playground for children to play in.

Food, drinks and service were excellent! On Sundays children under 14 eat for free with a paying adult, so our sons kids meal burger, chips, drink and icecream sundae were free. Great restuarant with awesome atmosphere and lovely staff.

Six of us dined. We had a variety of meals from burgers to pizzas to ribs. To be honest they were all 'ok' but not enough to rave about. The problem was the noise as there were many kids in the restaurant. I have nothing against kids but we wouldn't go back here for a meal because of the noise

Always a popular spot in Parklands, very family friendly with their big kid's play area and kid's menu. Hats off to the kitchen staff who pump out a serious number of meals every night! The food is your pub grub style fare, with large portion sizes and yummy meals. Burgers and steaks are good here too.
