We bought a $59 Travelzoo voucher for a natural seafood platter with a bottle of wine. A platter full of oysters, mussels, squid, half lobster, 2 bugs, octopus, grilled barramundi and chips, 3 prawns, sauces, salad and fruit slices plus a bottle of "Human Cannonball Sauvignon Blanc". Everything was very nice including the wine which we were able to take... More

Recently visited with my family, ordering a mixture of seafood and Italian cuisine. Very happy with the quality of the service and the food. Strongly encourage a visit for lunch to anyone in the area.

Recently went to Bugzies again (we went last year as well) but this time had the massive Platter for 4. Both my son in law and myself, are BIG eaters, but even this stopped us and our wives! No, it was not overloaded with chips either. We did it justice but there was just so much there. Would suggest anyone... More

We too got a voucher online for $59 and went along for dinner one cool Tuesday evening. We sat in the 'outdoor' area which had been enclosed and kept very cosy with gas heaters around the tables. Even though we were there with a half price voucher, we were treated exactly the same as the full paying guests - the... More

We got a voucher online for $59 (half price), which gave us a seafood platter for 2 and a bottle of wine. We ordered garlic bread before the platter came out, and the garlic bread was very, very good. The thing I hate about most seafood platters is that almost all of it is usually deep fried. NOT this one!!!!... 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!
