The food was very good, with a rich and creamy sauce on the cannelloni and tender cuts of beef; the roast pork was also well cooked with a good crisp crackling and succulent meat. However, the service was polite but quite slow and took over two and a half hours for all of our food to arrive, so would be a poor choice for those in a rush. The decor is quite nice and modern, but somewhat impaired by the harsh white down lighting along the windows. Given the higher end price for dinner, Same Same But Different makes a good suburban competitor to the higher range restaurants in Brisbane, with comparable quality and more affordable prices, and is definitely worth a visit.

Sat in the sun because of the cold chill that lingered around this morning and started with the norm, four shot flat white which was beautiful, strong and certainly woke me up. Main meal I had the "piggy in the middle". The coffee came relatively quick however once we ordered the mains the wait was quite long. Eventually came and very impressed with the presentation and construction of the burger. Even though it looked like the leaning tower of Pisa every individual layer was well cooked, now I didn't eat this the conventional way, I deconstructed it from the top down. One thing I forgot was to ask how the egg was cooked as it came out well done, would have liked it sunny side up - my bad. The bun was extremely soft and what I loved was the fact this burger was drowning in sauce, it had the perfect amount on both top and bottom.
