the highway / hwy

pub food
the bistro has lovely decor with a gas fire tucked away at the end of the room.
my sister's glass of wine was poured at the table immediately after we ordered drinks but i watched as my husband's & my drink sat on the bar waiting to be delivered to our table with staff walking back & forth past them, empty handed, studiously ignoring them, which was frustrating.
i had the prawn pizza which is a rectangle served on a wooden platter. while it was hot, it was tasty but as it lost heat, the base seemed doughy & underdone. it could have done with a minute or two more in the oven. also, the tomato slices on it were anaemic. 
my husband had the beef schnitzel with dianesauceserved on the side - standard pub food. the accompanying salad was disappointingly undressed.
my sister had the bbq pork ribs, a generous serve which she thoroughly enjoyed, the meat very tender & falling apart - her only quibble was the coleslaw wasn't spicy at all (as per the menu), so she added lots of pepper to it. also, a finger bowl was brought to her abut half way through the meal.

just had a sunday sesh with the guys. all were really happy. buffalo wings good value and delicious blue cheese sauce. to be honest unless the wings are covered in franks hotsaucei'm a bit biased but these were yum!! the buffalo burger was loved and the chicken schnitzels were enjoyed by all. good tunes not too loud and great atmosphere.
soup of the day was a delicious bowl of chilli. all in all it can be hit and miss today was definitely a hit.
they also have asahi on tap ❤️❤️❤️

what is going on out there with the price of pub meals? some of them are really getting up there, matching restaurant prices and some menu items are close to fine dining prices? and the highway is no different. some menu items were priced within the pub range that anyone would expect, like burgers, pizzas, wings etc, but when i saw the specials board, which had a rib special on for $42, well i have to say, i was a little gob smacked, jaw dropping surprised! chicken maryland at $28? this is chicken maryland peeps, not duck! on the other hand, you can get 300g scotch fillet for $36 with accompaniments? go figure?

for these prices, you still have to collect your own meal from the pass in the kitchen when your buzz buzz thingo goes off!

however, this really is a very nice place to have a drink outside and it’s quite pretty in the evening, they have live bands as well.

we ordered steak sliders and buffalo wings for lunch. sliders were dry, brioche buns not fresh, lucky we had the blue cheesesaucefrom the wings and added it to the sliders for moisture. a good amount of wings were on the plate, but thesaucewas terrible, tasted like plain old tomato sauce, no vinegar hit at all. wings were also dry. blue cheesesaucesaved the day!

will return for band and drinks, but probably not for the food!

good food, great atmosphere. my boyfriend and i went to the highway on saturday and it was packed! we had to sit outside because there was no room inside, our own fault... we didn't make a reservation. it's okay though, we sat near a heater! the atmosphere at the highway was awesome. they had a large screen on which the football game was screened and everyone was drinking, eating or socialising! the food was nice, i had a chicken schnitzel with peppersauceand my boyfriend got the ribs. he let me try some of the ribs and they were amazing!!! so tender and the bbqsaucethey put on them was to die for. he let me dip some of my schnitzel into thesaucebecause it was heaps nicer than the peppersaucei got. the schnitzel itself was nice but i've definitely had better peppersaucebefore. great place to go for a good pub meal and a great atmosphere

great snitty!!. had the porterhouse snitty with peppersauce+ potato salad. simply the best snitty i have ever had. was not a stupid size, was tasty as, and at a great price.

service friendly as well.

seriously, well done!!!

lounge bar. we shared the american platter: the two cheeseburger sliders were delicious and the only really tasty element; the pork ribs were well cooked but lacking in flavour (and the serving was too small); the fries were basic frozen shoestring fries; the smokysaucetasted watered down and the chicken wings although cooked well and crispy had absolutely no seasoning or flavour whatsoever! disappointing and we won’t have that again – although we will go back to try other things from the menu because it sort of had potential and there are some things on the menu that we would like to go back to try. the staff were friendly pub folk, the outside area looked great and we’ll be out there next time.
