Jimmy D's Grill & Bar

Delicious food, reasonably priced and huge servings!

Osso Bucco was $35 but could have fed both of us.

Steak is a bargain, was perfectly cooked with amazing gravy - $25 for 250g rump and choice of 2 sides (plus sauce included - sick of places charging extra for this! Well done).

Dumplings were super plump and full of prawn. Also had a kids spaghetti that was delicious and a large portion for $12.

Had dinner here last night and was so impressed - The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything was on point!!

The staff were all very polite and so friendly. Sadly there were some people sitting near us that were quite rude, if not borderline abusive, to the waiter and waitress delivering their food. The staff were extremely professional with how they handled the rude customers and should be commended.

It was quite a busy night and there were lots of people at the same time as us but we didn't even have to wait for our food which was nice.

Our meals were so raveworthy. Firstly, the portions are big and we are big eaters. We shared bruschetta and ravioli entrees and they are definitely handmade and full of flavor. We had steak and fish for our meals and after polishing them off definitely couldn't fit in desserts. Hubbys steak was so juicy and cooked so well he didn't even touch his gravy. My fish was grilled and hats off to the chef because grilled fish is easy to overcook but mine was perfect.

Overall we were really happy and will definitely be back with friends and will leave room to try the desserts!

Some of the BEST restaraunt food I've had in a while! For a motel restaraunt you'll be very suprised, the chefs are on point, the food is great, theres a nice little bar with some interesting drinks, like Kalki Moon. Tracy is the lovely waitress here who always walks around with a smile, takes alot of pride in her work, and it shows. Even if you're staying elsewhere, this restaraunt is absolutely worth coming to!

My colleague recommended this place and so I went that night for dinner and wasn’t disappointed. I ordered the rump steak and creamy mash with green beans and broccoli for $25 and it was cooked perfectly with a hint of garlic butter. I usually use gravy to season my veggies but didn’t want to ruin it. Finished off with a brownie and ice cream. A+ to the chef! Also really nice servers too. Thank you!

Food was delicious, recommend going there for dinner. Great staff and owners. Great scenery.

Hit it out the park again. From one chef to another, you cook a brilliant steak. Mrs enjoyed her parmigiana aswell. Keep up the good work. Highly recommend 👌

Best steak we have had in years, accompanied with a couple of glasses of red wine. Friendly staff! Compliments to the Chef! Thank you. 😊

Food - dinner & breakfast best ever.
Decor is heaps better than in previous photos.
Service - great.
Our group has booked at Alara for next year's cheer event already & Sea Winds is the main reason. Congrats to all.

Came in without any expectations as i hadnt searched. Blown away by quality of the food. Beautifully seasoned/cooked and plentiful. Will certainly be returning next trip to try something else off the menu.

Love the friendly atmosphere and the food was deeeelish!!!

Limited specialised food choices but did ok with prawns

Amazing food!.

Top marks to the Chef and all staff
Located within the Alara Motor Inn, Mackay

Sehr leckeres Essen, große Portionen. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, we will be back 🥰

Limited menu and space

Sad to be leaving this review after being recommended. Staff were friendly, venue clean. Thats is where my enjoyment ended.
Ordered "hand cut calamari" entree for $16, recieved 6 dry rubber rings, firsty i was shocked at such a little entree for $16, i was further disappointed with the taste and texture, sad but the spinach leaves were the best tasting on the plate, only 5 rings were tried amongst 5 of us. No one was willing to eat a second one. When male waiter collected plate, i explained they were terrible..no action taken.
Then came the main, $45 for a thin 500g rump with chips and salad. For me i couldn't work out what was colder, the steak,chips or salad..... tough rump that the steak knife had trouble cutting. Poor kitchen skills given the steak was already pre cut/sliced or beaten.
Pepper sauce was nice and helped the ability to chew and chew. The chips/fries one could assume are Hogs breaths rejected curly fries. Over cooked,dry. I expressed this politly to the female waitress who laughed an apology. No offer of discount, remake, manager etc. Only positive of meal was the salad and dressing. I dont like to be negative but when brought to the attention of staff, the response was "oh sorry, would you like dessert?" .
No thank you, i am not spending anymore on disappointments. No offer of replacment, refund,discount etc. When it was time to pay again, I expressed my disappointment, just a laughed off apology. "See you next time"... umm no i wont be returning. Far better value and food quality across mackay. $250 lesson learnt. I never once swore or was rude to your staff, coincidence you "positive" feedbacks instantly show up everytime a negative is given, fake accounts 🤔... dont sweat, enjoy your day,night. I wont be reaching out, i dont wish to re-attend your venue. , 10 told by me, tell 10 more etc. Should have taken it on the chin.. small business issues. Maybe fix language barrier up as a suggestion. Maybe if your staff had a issue with me, you would have been notified and came out... but no no you didnt.. oh and Nat, was not there nor last night, 10people in restiarant from 5.30 til after7pm... none of your feedback is true, Keep embarrassing yourself.

Didn't get to try the food as the waitstaff made us wait while they were busy talking to each other. Could have at least offered us drinks. We walked out!!
