The Lodge On Hawthorn

A great Cafe with great food and atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend a visit

Lovely lunch, bought some preserved pickles, even a plant from the nursery. Ask for a viewing of the lodge proper upstairs. A credit to those who have preserved this wonderful building and its history from 1908.

Great little Cafe and having the historic Masonic lodge upstairs is great.

Had a delicious lunch today, cannot recommend highly enough. Service was very friendly, food was delicious and came out quickly even with a lot of other customers. Will definitely be back

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. The food and coffee were amazing and the staff are so lovely. Would definitely stop by for breakfast again. Lovely area to sit outside in the sun.

A haven in black hole (that’s what came out of the dictation picked up for Blackall and I think I can stay). An old simple Masonic Lodge done up very tastefully, with lovely food and service and interesting little shop. Beautiful tables in the beautiful garden with a lovely fountain and huge bougainvilleas. For me this was everything good about what a little town can offer.

This place is a nice lil place, tucked away off the highway. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is great always very friendly.

An amazing place, was great to look through the old Masonic lodge and relics while waiting for coffee. Great coffee too! :-)

Lovely, old, historic building in large garden setting. Friendly, efficient service. Tasty, varied menu of food and drinks. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Great food and coffee! And a nursery now too. Chris and Boyde work really hard and it shows. Thank you for keeping a piece of history alive and thriving :)

We celebrated a birthday dinner here. The staff were incredibly generous and thoughtful. Great atmosphere too. Pleasant background music and dimmed lighting.
The meals, especially the Slow Cooked Pork with Apricots and Ginger was divine. Staff and other patrons sang Happy Birthday with us - a lovely touch. It must be the best eating place in town.

Dropped in for lunch during a site visit for work. Great staff and food. Highly recommend if you're in Blackall

Excellent food and atmosphere and the staff were very friendly.

Stopped for coffee on the way to Longreach. Well worth it. Lovely spot - people and coffee. also food excellent. Sitting outside in the shade was really good. Some nice things to browse as well. Just use the GPS if you're not sure.

Fantastic find in Blackall today, this beautiful Cafe has the most amazing breakfast menu is very reasonably priced and the 2 young girls serving were so friendly and polite.

Dropped in here on our way home from Cairns to Adelaide, and my word…. The best coffee in Queensland by far… such a beautiful setting and such lovely staff….so glad to have found this little treasure xox

Really lovely cafe, with a seriously delicious hot chocolate. Menu has a lot of variety with gluten free and vegetarian options. Really nice atmosphere and staff.
