Imperial Hotel Cowra

Cowra

Very inappropriate dining experience, but not worth going into details here other than to say I was overcharrged and what was delivered was not to order.  My querie on this was met with rudeness.
However, my gig in Cowra runs for the next seven weeks and I'm sure I can find somewhere better than The Imperial to eat.


Overcharge and under deliver

Went for a Saturday counters for lunch. Amazing meals, bloody huge. Parmi coyld have fed both of us. Steak sanga bloody awesome  Staff super friendly, good menu cold beer and wine. And very well priced. If in the area, give them a go

Saturday lunch 

It was a freezing cold wet winters afternoon, not so much fun riding a motorbike. I came in cold and tired and was welcomed with the warmth of the room and smiling staff. 

Friendly staff, great bar and prices. Awesome bistro. Was keen on a Schnitzel , but had heard about the steaks and was not disappointed! Huge, cooked to perfection.

Stayed in an ensuite room, it was small but functional and all I needed. Room was clean tidy and well equipped.

Warmth, hospitality, great food and drinks.

Amazing food and plenty of it.  We ate here on a friday and saturday night, and although the hotel was packed to the rafters the food came out quickly and was hot and very tasty.
Would def recommend if you are visiting Cowra.  

Worth stopping in

Not only the best food you will have in Cowra, but the BEST steak you will ever eat!

It’s also a great pub in the centre of Cowra, right near all the motels and walking distance to shops, motels and supermarkets.

If you are traveling through, or just a local, this place is worth a visit!

BEST steak I’ve ever had!

The Hotel was wonderful the Bistro Meals were Fantastic & the Cowra  Meat is the Best I've ever had.The staff are very friendly and helpful..The hotel is very family orientated with a childrens room for kids to play in,Would recommend this Hotel to Anyone coming into Cowra . I'll be Back Again Thank you so much 

Dinner and Drinks 

Don’t know what is more annoying - the ‘morel’ stance of management not to open if the unvaccinated can’t attend the venue, or the fact that they took a booking for dinner from us travelling from Sydney and didn’t have the decency to call and tell us that they wouldn’t be open. 

We booked this pub for a meal specifically because of its stunning meals we’ve enjoyed in the past. They claim to value their customers, clearly the selfish unvaccinated more than the responsible majority. 

They will no doubt be pleased that they have lost us from this time forward. A real shame, but we know our custom needs to be directed to businesses that care about their customers. A call, that’s all it would have taken!

Took our booking but didn’t open

We were recommended this place by our motel and the snitzels certainly were large and the toppings were all very tasty and generous. To start we ordered some sour dough though to nibble with a drink while waiting but it definitely failed. It was dry, hard and toasted which is not what you expect when ordering a sour dough starter. Also priced at $8.50 was a bit of a stretch. We asked to get it changed which they did and brought us a cheesy garlic bread instead which was nice but they seemed a bit offended by it. I think the bread was just stale so they should have just explained that they didn't have any and we would have ordered something else.

Biggest Snitzels ever

We were hit with a sudden 36c day when camping and escaped the heat and dust at the Imperial for dinner. The reviews were accurate. Note the restaurant and bistro share the same menu and prices. Pork ribs melted and the chicken schnitzel was awesome, we ended up taking half home. 
Nicely decorated and friendly staff. 

Escaping the heat

2 night stay in Cowra, arrived Friday thought we would support the locals and have dinner at the hotel
Main restaurant area booked for a function, no trouble in finding a table near the bar area. Not my pick but it had to do...
Looking into the kitchen you could see the schnitzels piled high, already cooked. 
Feeling like a schnitzel I reluctantly ordered as I knew it would be crunchy as they would double dip it in the oil to reheat. It’s pub food at its worst I feel, no love, just slapped high on the plate, lots of it but dry. The surf and turf sauce I ordered (on the side) was just warm. $32 .... far too expensive and not good.
My husband’s meal looked as though a child had put it together, we will not be back. 
I like good wholesome food......this is not 🥴
