No Bones is a beautiful outdoors, covered restaurant. The dining experience is fantastic with friendly staff, fantastic cocktails and delicious food. The menu is creative with bright flavours. They were super accommodating to my dietary requirements, catering for Coeliacs and even had a gluten free fryer. We left perfectly satisfied and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Food was amazing I am not a vegan or a vegetarian, had the banquet and loved every single dish, also they cater for gluten intolerance too, will definitely be back !

I was excited to eat here because it looks like a nice place. But I ordered a gluten free toastie from the menu and my friends ordered the non gluten free version and mine came out smaller than half of their toastie. Both my friends and I paid $18 for it so I would’ve expected the same portions. I went up to ask why the portion was so small and all they said it was just because the bread is different, quite rudely and not understanding towards me. If the staff were understanding and fixed the situation, I would not be writing this complaint. Also gluten free bread is really no more expensive than normal bread at Woolies. I had to go get a meal somewhere else after. My coffee I ordered also took 25 mins to come out and when it did it was freezing cold. The price of my entire meal was just not reasonable for the portion and wait times. I’m not one to complain but I wish they would’ve assisted me better. Attached is a photo of one half of their toastie and my entire toastie.

Ok, so I Love the fact that as a vegan I can eat literally everything here!!! I also love the fact that as someone who limits gluten intake they have gluten free options for their delicious meals. The food tastes alive and good for you as well as VERY tasty and the portion sizes are really good. They serve hot dishes, hot drinks and smoothies and dessert with a good variety of each. The staff is super friendly and the environment is calm and relaxing. It's super family friendly. A definite must for lunch. They open at 11:00.

Always love coming here when I’m in Byron! Amazing margs, nachos, quesadillas. You really can’t go wrong…service is always quick and perfect location! They also accommodated my friend who was celiac. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Food and drinks were lovely but service and venue are not good for a group booking. I would recommend considering other restaurant options for following reasons: - booked for 19 guests ($3000 spend), one person was sick on morning of and we were still charged per head for them - no flexibility with the group booking policy even with unforeseen events. Also charged for a whole extra person, there has been communication with the restaurant regarding this and they have communicated they will refund the extra charge but not the ‘no show’. - On arrival, the restaurant was very quiet for weekend lunch service. Staff were not friendly (except one male waiter, short with brown hair) or welcoming, in fact we almost felt we were an inconvenience. This continued throughout our entire experience at lunch. - they could not accomodate or move tables together so that 18 people could sit together. We were sitting on two adjacent tables and separated. The reason they explained for this was that by putting two table together “it would interrupt service to other tables”. As mentioned above the restaurant was quiet and there were no other guest dining around us at all for the entirety of our booking. - We had provided dietary requests upon making group booking and were informed via email that the booking notes would be updated. Staff came to take our order and they did not appear to be aware we were having the banquet and had no prior knowledge of pre-notified dietary requirements. - Additionally, there was no indication that we would then be charged extra for food substitution for those with allergies. Ie charged extra $9 for roti for someone anaphylactic to sulphites and someone who is coeliac - I can appreciate extra charges for substitutions but the restaurant didn’t consider crediting us when we only ordered 9 desserts instead of 18. Of course ordinarily I would not have expected credit for this but I think some flexibility and consideration for the extra charges for dietary would go along way! - Fans above tables were not working and we were told they were broken. Summer in Byron bay is hot! Overall, Bang Bang has fallen short of providing a smooth experience for a celebratory group booking and I would consider the multiple other dining options in Byron.

I have been here many times, being a local that works around the corner. It’s never been great and always overpriced for what you get in terms of food and service, but today was special: - They have decided to remove pricing from the menu, I can only assume because their pricing is unjustified. A coffee, banana smoothie, mushrooms on toast with 1 extra boiled egg and slice of pre-made “eggplant galette” (like a vegetarian quiche) cost $68 🤔 - My mushroom on toast came out on a small gluten free bread, I never asked for it, so had to return. I can only assume they charged me for it. - The extra boiled egg was cold, clearly had been sitting in the fridge. Un edible for what is a hot breakfast. - My partners pre-made eggplant galette never came out. She had to remind them when I was finished, no apology, just another stuff up. - They use small side plates to serve their meals, it costs no extra or is any more effort to clean a normal sized plate, you can’t even cut the toast without food going everywhere. The other point is how uninterested the staff are in offering anything that resembles service. If they don’t want to be there, for the sake of the business and its clients they may as well not be. You would be best to avoid this overpriced place, with so many great food and coffee alternatives around Byron.
