The club is nice enough to visit, but the kitchen is terrible - lazy “cooks” who need to reconsider their career choice.

I love coming to the Jamison Southern Cross Club! It is a great spot to gather with friends and family for a nice meal at a decent price. About 25 poker machines. Nice outdoor play set for children as well as an indoor children's arcade area. Great spot to bring younger kids who do not like sitting down for long periods of time!

The coffee was good too, and all the staff were great, especially Anu, who knew a lot about the menu. I loved everything about this place and wil...
