The Best eggs Benedict and big breaky the day starter) I’ve had since moving to Queensland from Melbourne! I personally went back to the kitchen and thanked the staff. Compliments to the chef ! Fresh ingredients cooked to perfection! Eggs perfect , toast buttered , sauce on the side as we’d asked for , extra bacon as they were out of mushrooms , brilliant sausages too ! If only we didn’t live on the sunny coast ! Next time you get the train do yourself a favour and arrive early and enjoy a brilliant breaky ! they also have pre made egg/ bacon muffins for your convenience if you don’t have time before the train arrives Thanks for the team at Barron’s Freshwater connection station !!!

Barron's Bistro was once a brilliant way to spend your morning for breakfast, whether intending to board a train or not. The menu and meals were diverse and flavourful and the opportunity to eat inside of decommissioned train carriage unique and wonderful. However upon my recent visit, I came upon a closed carriage and a menu reduced to what amounts to cheap hotbox food. The scones were bland with a tiny amount of jam and tasteless cream all of which was of the cheap store bought variety. The meal itself was run of the mill hotbox food and the Iced chocolate I got came with evidently refrozen ice-cream and almost not chocolate to speak of. At the very least the service was friendly, if a little poor due to them seemingly forgetting the scones until asked. Exceptionally disappointing. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $1–20 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Pre made toasted sandwiches, savoury breakfast muffins, sensational banana bread using bananas they’d grown themselves and coffee plus a few other bits and pieces only at the moment. Eat at the tables in the station which is in a pretty, historical looking ye oldy style with a nice view of horses grazing. LOVELY staff.
