    We loved our experience!! It was our first time trying KBBQ and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff were so helpful and kind in showing us how it’s all done. The food quality is AMAZING! Everything we tried was fabulous. Very reasonably priced too - we felt SUUUPER full afterwards and spent around $50-60pp.

    We've certainly started 2025 very positively by going to Naughton's for lunch today! I couldn't wait to get back there. Everything was perfect about the experience. I really enjoyed my dish of fettuccini with its interesting flavours! And my husband's battered fish and chips didn't disappoint - it's his favourite! Thank you again Naughton's - you are such a gem!

    Pinchy's serves amazing seafood dishes, and the menu options are excellent. If you don't know what to choose, you can take one of their tasting menu options which are great. I highly recommend the Lobster Roll for main course, it tasted sensational. Also great were the crab taco starter and the octopus entree. Our waitress was so helpful, and the service was awesome. A little pricy, but you definitely get what you pay for and Pinchy's was well worth the price. 100% recommended!
