Overall Ratings

Local business offering a range of meal options for takeaway. Burgers, chips, sandwiches, wraps, fresh salads , fruits and wholefoods. Sweets, drinks and amazing coffee! A surprise package on the corner of a small residential street just off the highway this little cafe has everything from the biggest burgers to the friendliest service!

One of the best in town for takeaways!
No eat in tables but the team there will produce your order in no time at all. Or you can call and preorder your meal.
It's worth the little detour off the highway to get a feed from here and you'll be back on the road before you know it...
2. Ben Hall Beau Thai

Reviewed By Rob T - Melbourne, Australia
Traveling through Forbes stopped off here. The Chicken Green current was bursting with flavor and a generous serve of chicken and spicy; the vegetable stir fry was very fresh and spicy.
We asked to have no added sugar ( a problem with Thai restaurants overly sweetening dishes to meet their perception of Aussie taste requirements) and we were told that dishes are not overly sweetened - and we agree that the food was quite authentic BKK taste
The fish cakes were excellent
Not sure what the connection is with the Bushranger Ben Hall and Thailand but an interesting name choice!
Decor is old style
Only limitation was very little choice fir vegetarians and no tofu

4. Forbes Pizza House

Reviewed By Sarbella2161 - Forbes, Australia
Service here is very slow regardless of the day of the week you order. Pizza price is ok but topping choices have been the same since it opened. They need to move with the times and mix up the menu a bit, instead of serving the same old styles even just add a few new things. Sometimes the pizzas are delivered almost cold or very over cooked to the point it's hard to tell one pizza kind from another. I thinks it can be a bit hit and miss as to what you get. Delivery drivers are always nice and friendly.

We are an authentic Italian restaurant and wood fire pizza place. We have a variety of dishes from pasta, risotto, meat and chicken.Its BYO and there is free corkage! Follow us on Facebook at Cafe Aglio e Olio.

This was a surprising find in country NSW. Authentic woodfired pizza and pasta that tasted like it had come straight from Italy. We had a carciofi (artichoke) pizza and the rigatoni Siciliana (pasta with eggplant and tomato) and it was sensational. they know how to do it because they are an Italian family. BYO was a bonus!
6. Vandenburg Hotel Restaurant

Love visiting for lunch to get a Vandenburger! Not available at dinner. Standard pub fare/counter meals served in the main pub. There's a separate restaurant area which is nice, however you can order from either menu if you want to sit in the pub area. There's usually a great atmosphere on busy nights, often a dj or band plays on the weekends.

Disappointed from d 3 resto in parkes that got good reviews, we decided to have dinner at this resto that has a not so good reviews.
Welcomed by d smiling staff (a good start). For entree we had cheesy garlic bread and dumplings.Husband ordered from their special... beef vindaloo since ge loves spicy food. I ordered lamb shank and daughters ordered grilled chicken and parmi respectively. Surprisingly all of us liked our food, it was tasty. We ended up ordering dessert as we are happy with our food.

9. A Classy Touch Forbes Florist & Cafe

Reviewed By Jrak907 - Sydney, Australia
We had a good coffee with a small compliment biscuit. They're not just selling coffee here, all decors and flowers around here are for sale and pleasant to the eyes. But on the other side, it made us scared to move as we may accidentally break one of them knowing that the shop is so small. Customer service is average, no greetings when you come in and had to asked the coffee menu since only food menu was on the board.
10. Pantry Cafe & Catering

This is a new business in an old landmark called Esme's. They retained the same supplier of coffee which is good news. The kitchen is a hive of activity and the meals are excellent. Loved my cappuccino and my meal was delivered promptly. They do take EFTPOS and most Major Cards. Nice outdoor sitting.
