This was a huge disappointment. I started with the worst entree of Oysters Kilpatrick I have ever eaten. They were so bad, my dining companion tasted one and announced that they weren't Oysters Kilpatrick. But they were. The "sauce" and "bacon" were like a packet mix that had been poured over the top of frozen oysters and microwaved. I could... More

We brought a haft price voucher on line for $59.00 which sounded like a great deal, So the platter was retail price of $120.00- We ordered bread and dips first, and before we had even finshed eating the breads, they arrived with the platter, felt very rushed..... If i had paid $120.00 i would have been really upset, this was... More

Hello, Thank you for your feed back and I am really sorry you felt rushed as this is the last thing we want our customers to feel and we will educate our staff to make sure this will not continue to happen, We have found this $59 seafood platter voucher system a very good success since two years ago which...

Dined at Bugzies as a family of four with our 5 & 8 year olds. We were treated like family and the service we got was just superb. The kids had spaghetti bolognaise and calamari and chips and the adults Salt and Pepper Squid. Brilliant meals, really lovely and fresh. Will dine here again. Great friendly staff. Loved it!

With our voucher we were entitled to seafood platter which had cost us $60.00. First oyster was fine, 2nd oyster was completely off. My dining partner then tried hers that was also off and had to be... More

I am really sorry that your experience was not to your expectations, We have always tried our best to exceed our customers expectations. I notice you and your sister had both given a review on this site, And I do remember this occasion very well and at no time your waiter (the manager) said we have "off oysters" I personally... More

The entree of Oysters Kilpatrick was so bad I considered cancelling the main course. My partner tried one and announced "they are not oysters Kilpatrick." They were though, but unlike any others I have ever eaten. The "bacon" and the "sauce" were like a packet mix ladled onto frozen oysters and poorly heated. My partner's entree of scallops were little... More

We left it to the last minute to find a place to eat and seafood was the choice for the night. Luckily enough Bugzies had a few tables left for our party of 5. My partner and I shared an absolutely amazing seafood platter that was also customised for us as we preferred to have cooked oysters rather than natural.... More

We come here every so often when a seafood platter deal for $59 appears on livingsocial or scoopon. The platter is really good value. Mucles and oysters are delicious, the bugs we got are always delicious, the lobster is average but it doesn't spoil the night. The sides of salad, chips and sauces are quite yummy mixed in with the... More
