Came by with my family to celebrate my birthday. Such a great experience! Food only took 20 minutes and you could tell it was made fresh with love. We had steaks and burgers that were perfectly cooked, hot, and juicy. Also had chicken tenders that were so crispy and flavorful. The pub chips (made in house!) and mozzarella sticks we had complimented the food so well. Not to mention our server was so lively and helpful. Loved it all! Can’t recommend this restaurant enough! Will definitely be back!

We sat outside so the kids could play in the cool play area. The service was perfect for our large group. We really enjoyed being able to talk while the kids played. Great idea to turn the parking lot into a play zone. There’s still plenty of parking on the street. The nachos appetizer is great as are the tater tots. The breakfast hamburger and shrimp tacos too are really good. The chicken strips are overcooked, Kind of a small menu. I think they are still working on it.

Great place to take the family! The adults loved our burgers, onion rings were excellent. Kids claimed the tenders and fries were spicy, the fries came with pepper, which was new! They thoroughly enjoyed the playground and making friends with other guest’s kids. The table next to us brought their dog which was another highlight and won those guests a slew of random questions and stories from my children. I love what the owners are doing with this restaurant, the movie theater and block down the road to bring people together and offer quality places for family and friends to be together. Will be back and bringing friends! Only suggestion would be to add a step stool in the family bathroom

The lost wombat is the perfect mix of Australian and American food. I would definitely recommend coming if you have kids. They have a really nice playground and cornhole set outside. I would recommend trying the chicken tenders and pub chips. The chicken tenders are very flavorful and good. Very good restaurant.

Well, after seeing a few people’s commentaries, including pictures, on the place we decided to give it a go. I was really hopeful for The Lost Wombat. I wanted to have a great experience! However, it was mediocre at best.

Amazing food and amazing service. Was worried because of a few not so good reviews but we went and had a very nice time, especially on the 4th of July. Despite it being busy our food came out pretty quickly and tasted amazing. The burgers were huge and the ranch was delicious lol. Had a very nice time. <3 (loved the wombat theme, would love to see more wombats)

Our first visit here since they opened and the food was really good. The service was a little slow, but we were there between meals, so they were doing prep work on the back when we got there. It took a while for them to seat us. I’m very happy to have a new, good restaurant in town. Try them out, you won’t be disappointed.

I went back and got the 8oz Sirloin with fries . It was good and I tried a new dessert . Pavlova, it’s an Australian dessert, baked meringue on cake with a cream, topped with fruit . Very different from what I’m used to but it’s OK . Love this place. I also got the BBQ Wings, very good ! Will definitely order them again .
