Empire State Hotel

The best tasting old fashioned pub meals with great old fashioned service..
If I could give 10 stars I'd give 10..

I can’t believe there are any reviews here that aren’t 5 star. We’re a family of 9, from Melbourne, staying at Bridgewater, came for dinner and we’re all shocked at how amazing this food is. There’s even a self serve vegetable and salad bar, sounds a bit stale but the quality and taste of the sides, there’s even cheesey brocoli cauliflower, scolloped potatoes and 3 different types of gravy - all of which are to die for. I had the ribs and it was all just perfect. We can’t wait to come back, everything a country pub should be plus so much more.

Brilliant meal in the bistro! One of the best we’ve had for ages. Rissoles and honey prawns. Salads and vegies are serve yourself and they are great too!! We’ll be back now we’ve found you!

You definitely won't leave hungry!!
All the staff are wonderful
We only stopped there for tea

A good country pub with exceptional service and very welcoming. We loved the young lady who served us.

Great meal and friendly atmosphere

Great food just remember to book

Traditional country pub bar. Warm. friendly staff and clientele. Nice selection of bar counter meals. The steak sanga was delicious and a at a good price.

Delish lunch today, generous serve, lovely staff and a nice environment.

Excellent dinner at a quaint local pub. Was really busy, but staff all really nice. 3 of our group had steak….all were huge and tasty, with very generous sides. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Thanks to Steve and staff for a great night. Friendly service and meals of more than
generous size. We had the battered fish with chips and salad and the party with chips and salad with a few cold beers and a bottle of sav blanc. Love the rustic look of this gem of a pub. Next time you're in Ingllewood, drop in for a beer or better still grab a feed you won't regret it.

We met here as a central point with family from all over for a pre Xmas catch up. The waitress was really lovely and changed our table to add numbers. Everyone had a brilliant meal. We will make this an annual event. Found a few bargains in the Inglewood collectibles stores. Worth the trip

Absolutely lovely pub, been restored and looked after with alot of love. Staff were great, friendly and attentive to their customers. Only stopped for a short visit but we will definitely be returning soon for a meal.

Meals were good old style value for money pub meals. My wife loved her steak, cooked to perfection I had had a hamburger as I was under pressure to decide because a queue for forming for dinner, I didn't eat the bread but the rest of the burger was fantastic. Definitely worth trying . Have read the reviews of the guy at the bar, yep bit gruf, but under the pump. He still served me as soon as he could and beer and wine were spot on.
This is our view. 👍

Great Australian pub experience. Staff were very friendly. (Bonus points however if you get Steve to smile). The meal was delicious with the highlight being a salad and veggie bar. The cauliflower and scalloped potatoes were delish. Can’t wait to return.

Great pub great service great owner & staff.

The only place serving fast food in Inglewood. Most nights you needed to book to eat in but you could order their meals as takeaway. Possibly the best burgers we have had in a long time and the rissoles were excellent too.

Loved it . The meal was awsome . Friendly ppl . Very clean , just annoyed I don't live closer so I could eat there more often ....Staff were fantastic.

Delicious & huge pub parma! See photo. I ordered without seeing the menu and tension was rising as jaded publican kept repeating "chipsand". Eventually it became clear I was meant to say either "veggies" or "salad" LoL. So don't come here for the sunny disposition of customer service folk, but food was prompt and tasty.

Fantastic place, very friendly staff and great food. We all enjoyed our meals, I had the country parma, fantastic highly recommend.
