Malt Shovel Taphouse Adelaide
Very creative dish for a taphouse and good wine list, great!
Execellent table service by one staff but not the other.
Very noisy when live singer in the main foyer.
Poor signage for toilets
Friendly, efficient service. Food came in a timely fashion. The vegetables were outstanding. The rotisserie meat could have been hotter. Good atmosphere. Musician was a bonus and was of a high standard. All in all, a really enjoyable night.
Great location and atmosphere. The Feed Me menu could be improved: fried chicken and beef quite dry, also meat and veg dish needs a sauce or gravy.
Very small portion of roast chicken for mains, not even entree size. Still left hungry.
Great atmosphere for friends and fabulous position to view the beautiful Torrens on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon.
Amazing food.
Excellent location, great service and a good range of food - to share or not. I was there for an early dinner and it was full so I suspect it fills up quickly. I recommend you book.
A great place for meeting friends for a pre-theatre dinner or snack. Prompt service and very tasty food.
Great views of the River Torrens and Adelaide Oval. Pre theatre dinner and drinks. A lovely spot to catch up with friends before the theatre.
Pleasant evening out, good service. Nice wine selection, enjoyed the shared plates. Have eaten here on several occasions and always been happy with the meals.
We had a delicious meal catering for children, vegetarians and grandparents! Thanks so much. Speedy service which was perfect to get to our show on time in the Festival Theatre.
Great spot. Live music is always good. Relaxed atmosphere. Super pet friendly. Often end up here after a walk along the river.
Chose this place due to its proximity to the Festival Theatre where we we going to a show. Service was prompt and friendly and the food great value - we all that the $25 meat choice which allowed one serve of roast and one side per person but can out to share. Dessert cheese cake was also yummy and generous size.
Two minor niggles - our table was in line with open door which made one of the diners cold and the live music was nice but a little loud
The Malt Shovel Taphouse is an excellent venue for a pre-show meal and we really enjoyed the food.
Wait staff were courteous and understanding that we were running late for a show. However, the “available now” meals took 30 minutes to reach table, and for the 200g of lamb, 150g was fat. The chicken was slightly nicer but the pork - at 5pm - wasn’t even available. For the portion sizes and quality it was not even close to being good value for money. Very disappointed-even though the service staff were professional and pleasant and couldn’t have done anything better. The beer was great too.
We really enjoyed our visit. The weather was quite bad but the food was great the selection and recommended beers were good and the service was on point. We would definitely go back.
Could use a fireplace though.
This was my second time eating at Malt Shovel Taphouse. Even though we said that we were going to the show that started at 7.30 we were still almost late. It was hard to get the attention of the staff as the noise was almost too loud and there were several large parties that held most of their attention during the almost 2hrs we were there. It took 10 minutes to get someones attention that we needed to pay for dinner as we needed to go. However the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was great. I would go again, but not before a show unless it was a lot less busy.
Great location, perfect for early dining before a show at the theatre. Staff are fantastic. Size of meat servings appears to vary as ours was much smaller to the tables nearby who ordered the exact same thing as we did
Great food, service and venue. Well done Adelaide . Easy to get to on the tram . View over the Torrens is amazing. Love the fact it was central to all major venues. Had the share meal, all the meat was well cooked and the vegetables where amazing. Table service was wonderful and the paying of the bill was great as we were a big group who wanted to pay separately .
Food was good, however Pork was very different to last time we came - missed the crackling!
Noise level very high and hard to hear.
Staff very friendly and service was prompt.
Great for a quick bite before the footy. Bustling atmosphere and great drinks list.
$25 feed is great value.
Wait staff were excellent.
Food was excellent.
Can't wait to go back and try the "Feed Me" option!!!
Beef Chips & Mushrooms were AMAZING!!
Wasn’t overly impressed with the lamb, but the pork belly was great as was the selections of sides.
It was an amazing location and the views were incredible when sitting outside. We enjoyed the tapas and the food was fantastic.
Service was great for getting us our food and drinks quickly before the show. Servers seemed rushed and overworked.
Food was average. The bread for the rolls were bland but the chicken was good. They could’ve used more sauce.
We were pleasantly surprised at the high standard of food for the price. The meat was so tender and all the sides were tasty. We had previously been for drinks and wanted to try the meals. We were not disappointed! The staff were attentive and explained the menu to us. A great variety of wines... we didn’t sample the beers, and ,of course, so handy to Festival Theatre for a show after.
Top notch service! And loved sharing a couple of the dishes. I would go again in a heartbeat!
We were very impressed with the meal and service. There was some live music so noise level high when trying to talk while having our meal. We would definitely go back again
Food was delicious! Wanted to try it all.
Staff were very friendly.

Food was great
Beer was great
Great atmosphere
Really enjoyed our meal - the food was excellent (as was the value). Only criticism is that the service was a little random (none of the wait staff seemed to know who was looking after our table). Will be returning for another dose of rotisserie!
I so wish I remember our waitresses name but alas I dont so I hope you can work out whom looked after us......she was young, energetic, polite & very friendly throughout the meal & picked up that me & my 3 girlfriends were heading to the Festival Centre after our meal so once we ordered she let us know that our meals would be a priority from the kitchen so we wouldnt be late for the 7.30pm show ! PLUS she recommended we order 2x jus on offer with the meats we ordered & we cant thank her enough as 1 serve would DEF have not been enough amongst us four as that jus was divine !!!
Well done guys, this is the 4th time I have frequented your venue & have been impressed each & every time. Great work on hiring service staff that actually show they want to be there.
First time for us here. Great atmosphere, but pretty noisy. Food was good, but took a long time to arrive, but it was busy. Overall, would go again.
Great place for a quick meal prior to a show in the Festival Centre. The staff were aware of our timeline and, without making the meal feel rushed, we were able to enjoy the food, live music and ambience. It’s then just a quick walk to our show.
Excellent choice of beers on tap, could benefit by having a larger choice of cider on tap. Food was excellent, we had the slow cooked lamb and the pork along with two sides, pumpkin and spuds. The view over the river to Adelaide oval was outstanding and it will be a great spot when the weather improves.
Will come back. Pipsqueak cheesecake was amazing. Good value
Absolutely lived the meal, the service and the venue.
great location for a meal and drink after the football loved the food and craft beers overall fantastic will be back soon
We went there before a show at the Festival Theatre. It was a great spot to enjoy a quick meal and drink. There was a guitarist playing who provided great background music. Recommend
After arriving at 11:25am, we ordered our lunch by no later than 11:40am. One of us ordered the beef, and were advised that it would take 30 minutes which we advised was fine. We had a show to attend at 1pm. The food did not arrive until an hour later at 12:40pm, so we were extremely rushed to eat and get to the show by 1pm. Had they advised it would be an hour, we would have ordered something else. There was only about 4-5 tables of people in the restaurant, and we were the first or second to arrive and order. Coffees were also cold, even after sending one back, it came back cold again. I never complain about restaurants, and this is the first review I have ever written. However, it was very disappointing. Despite the beautiful location and modern interior etc, I would definitely not return.
Outstanding and friendly service. Amazing food and value for money.,nothing was too hard. Will definitely be returning
