We didn't eat, but we had a great afternoon enjoying some tasty beverages and Chris really helped to elevate the experience. We stayed around for another pint because he created such a welcoming atmosphere. Thanks Chris, we'll be back!

Chris was a fantastic waiter. Very attentive and helpful. Although the manager was questionable when we were asking Chris questions, and restricted our drinks, considering there was a stag do smoking weed just outside the door...

Our family (2 adults and 2 young children) had a great time here last night. Our waitress, Sophia, made us feel welcome. Another waitress took the children for a tour around the restaurant, giving us some quiet time. The food was great, with especially generous dessert portions. Highly recommended.

Top notch customer service with very friendly team. We were served by Sophia who answered our queries about the menu and also was kind enough to take our photo. Its always a delight to come to Elephant Wrestler especially for big groups. They have plenty of space and kid-friendly atmosphere during lunch time. There’s a variety of food to choose from, always tasty, fresh and never dry. We enjoyed the pork belly and sirloin steak. Tiramisu is a must-have for dessert! We will definitely come back again.

My 3 year old and me went in with a large group. We were early but that was fine, night was young. Madi was the lovely lady who looked after us and when I say "great service" I mean, thoughtful hostess type service. The above and beyond kind. From small forward-thinking requests to the chef on my daughter's behalf at the beginning to the small takeaway box of snacks for my 3 year old to munch on for the car ride home. Madi is such a beautiful person and me and the team wish to thank her for the service we received Wednesday night 🙏🏽 Everyone enjoyed the food, colourful, tasty, hot and fresh. Lots of different flavours for all sorts of preferences. I recommend the loaded fries, it's a hearty portion and fills you up. The $5 brisket taco was delicious along with a $5 slice of pizza (during their happy hour). Unfortunately no photos from me. I had a toddler to tend to 🤣
