The Groove Train Chirnside Park

We were looking for a good, spacious restaurant on our way to Alowyn Garden and stumbled upon this one — it turned out to be perfect for our family, even with four babies in tow! Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from a franchise restaurant, but the food was surprisingly delicious and well-prepared. The service was attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring, which made our visit even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find a place that combines great food, plenty of space, and such lovely service — especially one that caters so well to families. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in the area.

As a group of 3 we went to the Groove train for a late dinner (around 8:30) after seeing a movie and had been recommended to come here before. First time trying and was immediately impressed. Staff were very friendly, and accommodating for us even though it was 8:30 and they were to close soon at 9:00pm staff including those in the kitchen were happy to take us without a booking at seated ha down room orders straight away. My partner had the Wagu Burger, our friend the Fish and chips and mysslf the Chicken club sandwich. Everything came quick, well prepared and delicious and cooked well, despite the last order rush. Was happy with the portion. Only reason not 5 star was due to the price. I think you can easily eat anywhere else in the area with the same meal and get it at a cheeper price, however I’m not sure if anywhere else can do the same quality so up to you if you think it’s worth the prices Overall was very happy, thank you to the staff and kitchen crew for accommodating us.

Had plan to see the movies after dinner at The Grove Train, I've checked their menu online before we go there, I thought they have a lot of vegan options, unfortunately they didn't have any vegan dishes on the dinner menu, so I had to order a vegetarian dish, I ended up ordered a Vegetarian Pumpkin Ravioli which was really delicious however it was so small like an entree size, it cost $32 for 8 pieces of Ravioli, it was very overpriced, I was still feeling hungry and bought 2 bags chips at the cinema to snack on. Poor service and the restaurant was extremely noisy. Reply to the owner: I am 100% guaranteed that my review was not misdirected and is 100% legitimate! We went to The Groove Train in Chirnside Park, which is right next to the Reading Cinema in Chirnside Park. I am documenting my food journey to keep track of where and what I eat, so I have a photo of the Ravioli dish from your venue, I also have screenshot a photo of your dinner menu from one of your reviews which I have added photos on my review for you to confirm. I thoroughly enjoyed the Ravioli, it was absolutely delicious but the portion size was really small, $32 for 8 pieces, I thought it was rather overpriced, I have given 4 stars for the food, but I couldn't give you more stars for the service as we were being ignored by the wait staff, we were also sat right next to a big group of people with kids, they were very loud, we couldn't hear each others at the table, my review was honest and my rating was absolutely fair!

We had such a lovely dining experience at The Groove Train Chirnside Park. The vibe was fantastic, and Ben—who looked after our table—was amazing, as were the rest of the staff. To top it off, we enjoyed a wonderful live guitar and vocal performance during dinner. We especially loved the steak, garlic shrimp, tiramisu, and of course, the sparkling wine! 🍷

We recently visited The Groove Train Chirnside Park with a large group, and it was the perfect spot for our gathering. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and quick despite our group size. There was plenty of delicious food, and the menu offered something for everyone. The bar had a great selection of drinks, catering to both adults and kids, making it an ideal venue for families and groups alike. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, and it really added to the overall experience. Highly recommend this place for group events or casual dining!
