It was a bit pricey, but I had their signature Killer Prawn dish. It was as good as the description on the menu had promised.

A group of 6 friends went here for dinner on a Friday night. The service was prompt, the waiter had a good sense of humor, and the food was tasty. Only negative was the waitress who took our dessert / coffee orders at the end somehow forgot to put one order in, and when asked if it was coming was... More

KP has a great location and a catchy name but the service can be a bit miserable and the food is overpriced. There is a lot of potential here but requires a bit more effort.

Excllent referal from a local. It is a big restaurant which casn no doubt get noisy later on. I got in before 6.30pm to find a dozen beautiful Bluff oysters fro $20! Super value. Wine by the glass really good value for excellent wine. A terricif experience. Will go there again.

Cant complain about the taste of the food but its not a place that is value for money. Some other peple I know go here but they feel the same way. Its a very expensive place to go. if you want basic food for a good price (steaks, fries etc) then go elsewhere

We went here as we thought it was one of the best places to go with the family. The tempura prawns were nice however after a couple you felt rather sick, the dish needed more flavours it was a little bland. On the whole the food was nice but the decor and the menu was not worthy of the premium... More

I often pop into Killer Prawn for lunch - the value for money is amazing. I go for the quick lunch option and it is always fresh and tasty and service is top quality. In a town of copious fast food outlets I recommend you avoid all of them and head to Killer Prawn for the lovely ambience, and a... More

When you're looking for a place to impress clients and say thanks for the year, where better to go than Killer Prawn. From the signature prawns, to the ever changing daily specials and the fabulous menu, you know you will be well looked after. Stunning wine list, and great service to boot.
