Ate at Primos before my final ever uni exam. My mate and I who ordered the same thing both got food poisoning and left the exam half way though.

That's my only negative from eating there, every time before and since has been really good. Cheap, decent quality and good size meals.

sensational meal

service fantastic

used the ent book and the waiter didn't cross the number out so we can go back.

The 18hr slow cooked pork entree was brilliant


Simply superb again

I saw someone eat a 600 gram last weekend and I think the kg is probably more than you could ever want or need and it. Would end up being pretty gross even for a schnitzel lover like myself

Went a couple of weeks back, garlic bread / pizza has got a touch of Brunelli about it, to the point that I wondered if they might be part of the same stable.
Lots of choices, I had a chicken burger which was pretty good, Mrs Columbo had a "pile of schnit" and was happy with it.
Some other amusing names on the menu also - Clive Parma, Pig in Schnit, & Dirty Gringo.
Would be useful if it turns up in the EB this year.
Trust the process.

From a couple of pages back FC. Enjoyed it.

Pag wrote:Schnit House, Rundle St.

$23.50 for a parmy and $19.90 for a chicken schnit with mushroom sauce. Came out within 15 mins. On the expensive side but was worth it, when you claim to specialise in schnit and charge $20+ they'd wanna be good and to their credit, they were. Nice crumb, juicy chicken, big size. Chips were well seasoned and not under the schnit! Obligatory, waste of time salad on the side in the bowl.

No Ent Book voucher or anything but if you're craving a good schnit it is well worth the trip into the city.

The bloke on the table next to me had a crack at the Man v Schnit Challenge. Looked like 3.5 schnits, with chips and a 1L stein of beer. Had to get it all down within 45 mins. Didn't give him much of a hope, and looked spent about 2/3 of the way through, but pushed on and got it done in 36 mins, 38 secs. Hats off to you sir.

I've been down there a few times, and the meals there are quite good.

Having said that, I've only ever been there for dinner.

Cheers chief, about ten minutes from the house of Wristy so we will definitely give it a crack

So far so good, I'm still trying to get the internet business sorted out but looking like I'm on the home stretch now.

Took the missus today to Earth's Kitchen in Pirie St. I had mushroom patties (with caramalised onion, tangy guacamole and salad), she had tandoori pizza. Two smoothies to boot. 46 bucks all up but sensational. Would have to be a 9.5 outta 10!

I've eaten there before and it was good, this was better.
