When I saw that sign on the door, I thought "terrific! Central Cafe from Queanbeyan has opened up here in Gunners!". But it's not to be unfortunately :(.The servings are huge, but the prices reflect them as well (in Queanbeyan it was huge portions and normal prices). And something's missing.... the taste has been magically taken out of all the food somehow. When you order bacon and eggs, the bacon should be crispy, salty, and juicy... I'm salivating just thinking about it. But what comes out is floppy, oily, dry. The eggs were watery and again, no flavour.I soooooo much wanted to rave about this place. I wanted it to be my new local.But it's not, and I can't recommend it. So much hope :(.
We went to have early dinner around 5.15 pm. We ordered garlic prawns and chicken parmigiana. After 20 minutes.. the waitress came back to our table to tell me that they don't have garlic prawns! I think it's too early to sold out of the dinner menu and she should have told me that when I ordered it. So I swapped it to crumbed calamari instead.The crumbed calamari wasn't cooked properly. It tastes weird and not fresh. I ate the chips and salad instead as I was so hungry after staying in the hospital all day. My partner's chicken parmigiana wasn't great either. Not sure we will go back again after the experience with their service and foods.
The food itself is delicious and beautifully presented. Each dish is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and expertly prepared. The flavors are bold and unique, with a perfect balance of seasoning and textures. The cocktail list is also impressive, with creative and tasty drinks to accompany your meal.
Overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem that should not be overlooked. Whether you're looking for a casual lunch or a special dinner, this place has something for everyone. Don't let the name fool you - this is a dining experience you won't soon forget.
Great to see this little cafe open again, the serving size is always huge here. The quality is great and the price is very reasonable. Since reopening they now allow you to purchase alcohol from them so no more BYO. I highly recommend any of their steaks and if you're in the mood for chips with breakfast after a big night, Central is the place

I do not recommend this restaurant at all. We ordered their special, fish and chips with a salad. The batter on the fish was thick and soggy, the chips were soft and barely warm, and the salad was oily with a strange taste of oregano, making it taste moldy. Save yourself the trouble and avoid dining here.
The Central is known for it's large serving sizes. One dish is more than enough for two people to share. They make the best milkshakes in town. Coffee is great as well.The staff is friendly and the food comes quickly. This is good home cooking at it's best.
We go here about once a month for dinner or breaky & always sit outside. Staff are very friendly, helpful and welcome back locals. Meals are good quality & many are huge. Good atmosphere & never had an issue. We walk down & find it relaxing.
Huge servings as usual. Great food greAt service. Clean. So much food. Will be back. Can't understand how they make any money. Price is good too

Perfect place to share a plate as the servings are very generous, Eggs Benny still a favourite and Coffee and Cake always pleasant.
If I could give zero stars I could. Food is terrible quality - massive servings of poorly cooked food!
