The Seven Stars Hotel
Went to The Seven Stars for a lunch time schnitter on 15 January 2010, ordered a chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce.
Service – Pretty good. Friendly staff who were relaxed and chatty. One waitress brought out all our cutlery when it was apparent that we’d all forgotten we needed knives and forks to eat our meals. Only a short wait before my schnitty appeared before my eyes too which is important at lunch with limited time available. 9/10
Atmosphere – Good. We ate outside in front of the pub in a shaded area which certainly helped with the relaxed vibe of the place. A beer outside in the warm weather waiting for a schnitty – I dont think anyone could have any complaints about that. Not too busy that we were yelling at each other either. 9/10.
Schnitty price – Excellent. Chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce for a grand total of $12, you have to be happy with that. 9.5/10.
Schnitty size – Very good. It was bigger than a hand span and left me salivating when I spied my schnitzel in transit. Our eyes met and there was electricity in the air (that could have been from the overhead powerlines, but I dont think so), it was a special moment…. 9.5/10
Schnitty taste – Top shelf. It was golden brown as a schnitzel should be, with breast meat being used. Excellent crumbage. Chips located to the side of the schnitzel which was great, and the salad not under the chips or the schnitty. Sald was good too – tomatoes cut in wedges to avoid any awkward tomato spearing moments and nice dressing.Thick great tasting gravy with just the right amount of chunky mushrooms, and the quantity was just right to allow dunking of chips in the gravy without it running out before the end of the meal. Possibly the only complaint would be the chip:salad ratio, it was probably 50:50, where maybe it could have been 70:30, but that really is nit picking. Would have taken a photo but I was pretty keen to just get stuck in. 9.5/10.
Overall rating – Fantastic, do yourself a favour and get down to The Seven Stars for a lunchtime schnitter – you wont be disappointed. One of the greatest schnitzel experiences of my life, I can see that this could be the schnitzel all others are compared to. I would have given it a 10, but I need to leave room in the (unlikely) event there is a better schnizel experience out there. 9.5/10

Thanks for the review. I’ve been going to The Seven Stars for ages, mainly for their steaks which are awesome too. $16 for a basic scotch fillet steak. You can’t get that kind of value anywhere else in Adelaide I reckon. Will definitely be heading back here soon…

Great review, I had the Beef Schnitzel with Mushroom sauce and couldn’t fault them on their effort. Finally a pub that understands the need to not put the chips under the schnitty. A great value feed. 4.5/5 pineapples.
