Amazing food, can't go past a mixed grill and it hit the spot. Steak was cooked as I wanted, staff were friendly and quick. Food wait time was minimal, busy restaurant, good atmosphere with a nice ocean view.

One of the best meals out we have had! Service was excellent, our waitress was patient whilst we worked out what to have and meals came out really quickly Steak was cooked to perfection, garlic prawns were delicious Chicken Kiev was smashed by the 12 year old and he's asked to go back again tonight! Salad bar had plenty of options to choose from and roast potatoes were great - so fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside! And for this West Australian, learning how to play Keno was the icing on the cake!

My wife and I went here for our wedding anniversary and it was great. We went for lunch, on a Saturday, it wasn't that busy which was perfect for us. The food was very nice, plenty of gluten free options for me , and they answered all our questions without any fuss or eye rolling. We were looked after by Ruby, who was very attentive without hovering or being intrusive. We would recommend The Mallee to anyone.

Haven't had a bad meal at the Mallee Grill, came in every other week. Wednesday Night/Parmi Night is great value for money and the parmi's are constantly exceeding expectations everytime. They use real, fresh chicken breast that they cook perfectly. The steaks are done to your liking (perfection) and drinks are reasonably prices. For soft drinks ask for a jug. My personal recommendation from the Menu - Smoked Pork Ribs with their sticky bourbon sauce. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty, it'll be worth it.

We’ve been coming here frequently throughout the years and the quality never changes. The food is always perfect, the atmosphere is great, and the staff are wonderful. On the rare occasion something has gone wrong, the staff have always done everything they can to fix it. No better steak (and always cooked the way you like) than from the Mallee Grill!

Came for lunch at 1:30pm on Friday. They weren’t busy and we received our very tasty and delicious burgers before we could go back for seconds on the free, fresh, and, well stocked salad bar. Service was friendly and attentive. Price was reasonable and not expensive. We have been to the Malley at least three times over 5 years and we are never disappointed. Thank you. See you again.

Really busy night but staff doing well and as attentive as possible. There's a reason it's busy ... it's the best value for money in Burnie. I splashed out and had the Wagyu steak marble grade 5 and it was the best steak I have ever had. And I'm a steak guy.

You can not beat a steak cooked on a flame grill. I had a 500g Rib Eye on the bone, and it was done to perfection. Beautiful charcoal flavour with chips and a self-serve salad bar. The staff were very attentive and pleasant. Highly recommended.
