First time experience tonight and the staff and crew at Smugglers are absolutely top notch.
Every single staff member is so kind, friendly, attentive to service and creates an amazing vibe for family and dinning out. Extra bonus, we were surprised by a secret valentines spot prize tonight which just made our night even more so. Delicious food, beautiful team, cool entertainment for the kids. We will be back again. Highly recommend if your ever in Tahuna! Thanks again to the team at Smugglers Pub and Cafe, you guys are all amazing!

A very busy evening for the Smugglers Arms. Lucky we booked for the 3 of us.
Great service although the pan fried fish salad came as a chicken salad. I didn’t say anything or complain. It was delicious, one of the best salads I’ve ever had.
The fish and chips and tacos were also enjoyed.
Would definitely come here again.
Sorry no photos.

We picked a quiet lunchtime so it is hard to judge atmosphere as we were the only diners. However the staff are friendly chatty and efficient and provide a relaxed feel.
The food was amazing and very well presented. $28.50 for a two course meal makes it great value too.
The environment had much to look at with very quirky decor befitting of the establishment name.

Wonderful place for kids, especially if they’re into pirates! There’s a cool fish tank as well. The best thing was one of the kids meals choices is a platter with fresh fruit, carrot sticks, chicken, fairy bread etc. Nice to have a change from just the usual offering of chips and something fried…. The adults got the lunch deal and our meals were substantial and tasty. Great service as well. Really pleased we found this place!

Was super amazing. The staff lady Dana saved my bacon. I had booked my daughter’s birthday dinner elsewhere but last minute found out a dog was going to be there. As we couldn’t take the dog to the other place I was stuck. I rang smugglers and got Dana on the phone. She quickly helped me out and booked in our party of 15 with only 2 hours notice 2 days before Xmas. They allowed our dog to attend. Dana had set up a birthday sign and made it all extra special for my girl and the rest of us. Her service at our table was top notch.
The whole family agreed definitely going back for every birthday function.

Thanks again Dana you are amazing. Keep up the great service

It’s Easter holiday and the place was kinda busy – so we waited for a while before we got someone to give us a table and another while before we got our orders.
The tacos were average but the fries were good!
The atmosphere and vibe was cool!

Nice place, friendly staff. I’d only have to comment on the fact that some of our parties food order wasn’t prepared, and we had to ask a staff member about the whereabouts of the meal. But within a short time, the chef had made up the meal. Otherwise really nice atmosphere

We were seated at our table outside.
Given our menus and water and we waited and waited AND WAITED.
Eventually we got sick of waiting so I went in and ordered our food which was the 2 course lunch.
Others arrived after us and got service to the table and drinks/food before us.
We got cutlery brought out to us as when I ordered the food at the bar I said I didn’t realise we had to do that.
So I asked her if this was normal. She said no she had forgotten about us….
We then finally got asked if we wanted drinks, we declined that.
Our meals, one was decent the fish and chips on the other hand was very disappointing. 2 very small pieces of gurnad. A few chips and a spoonful of coleslaw.
It looked like a kids meal, I’ve seen bigger ones of those.
No one came and asked how our meals were, nor was I asked when I paid. I would’ve said something.
Desert was good, the apple crumble was bigger than main of fish and chips
Not a good experience and won’t be going back in a hurry.
Not worth the $57.00

This is mine and my fiances go-to spot especially for lunch. The Two-course meal options are great – we cannot fault the crumbed chicken. A great comfortable atmosphere with fantastic service always.

From the outside we thought this place would be a very average pub feed, but it outdid our expectations for sure! Lovely fish tacos, great kids meals, fish and chips for adults was huge incl a nice salad and the steaks with baked potatoes were delicious. Food came within 20 mins despite it being quite busy.
