Connors Cafe

Run!!- don't eat here!!
My dining experience at this place was perhaps the worst ever in my 62 years on the planet. I went there with my wife on the Monday morning of the last Queen's Birthday holiday long weekend.It was the day after my birthday and we thought we'd have a little celebration by ourselves. Long story short, after 1 hour, no food so we left. Wait staff obnoxious ++.

coffee's could have been alot hotter

he service and the food is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! A freezing cold overcast winters day. The heaters are out on the outside dining area, we ask for one to be turned on while we eat. The waitress obliges. 5 mins later the manager comes over and tells us that we could not possibly be cold and that she has to turn it off. We have to beg for it to be left on, while she makes up a million and one excuses as to why it can't be left on. Then the food comes and it is basically uneatable and extremely expensive. A bowl of chips is basically 10 chips and at $5 a bowl.... We also got accused of being tourists and that was why we were cold when we shouldn't have been. Firstly, we live here, secondly my partner is from Norway, so if he is cold then it is COLD! Very disappointing. Do not go. There is a lovely cafe right next door that serves great food.

Obviously Connors is a very popular eatery (if you determine being packed as good that is), I'm just not sure why.
The waitress was rude and unaccommodating, would not listen to any requests, everything was a flat out NO.
We waited for the first round of coffees for 1/2 an hour. When our luke warm/ordinary breakfasts eventually arrived all different sizes and unappetising and definitely nothing special. I ordered the vegetarian breakfast, it came out cold, flavourless mushrooms and genuinely unappealing. Mine was the best on the table. The pancakes looked more like pikelets a tiny overpriced stack which would fill a small child.... perhaps.... pity they were for an adult, cost as much as a large plate should have and left that particular diner hungry. My sister ordered the corn fritters (she had very little choice as she was unable to have eggs removed from ANY of the other dishes on offer. The lump a foodstuff that was presented to her made us all cringe. The cracked pepper didn’t help.
There were other dishes ordered, non worth mentioning.
Then the joy of lining up to pay in an overcrowded area, and paying more for this crappy breakfast than I do in my local. Our goal this year is to eat in every Burleigh brekkie joint, this was the first, I sincerely hope it is not the best. I’ll go broke on overpriced underwhelming food.
