Stayed one night at Batemand Bay and have brunch at Chews on my road trip down to Melbourne ????????. Grabbed the breaky roll and big breaky. Everything was perfect. Also, I grabbed a mocha which was great. Definitely stop in if you're on the way past and drive up 5 mins to the town to enjoy it on the water front .

Lovely customer service, was greeted as soon as I stepped in. Well lit take away store with tables if you'd like to eat in. Very reasonable prices and quick service, waited no more than 7 mins from ordering for food to be ready. Combo deals available if you're looking for a meal. Burger ($7.5) patty was generous (guessing 150g at least) and chips ($4) were cooked to perfection - would have liked more chicken salt though! Definitely will be back to try the grab and go selection and other burgers.
