“As the family is travelling and we didn't really know what was good to eat in Tennant Creek we saw this place and decided to stop and check it out. Inside is quite small and filled with tables and as it was lunch time…”
“两周在Outback没吃中餐了，Tenaant Creek这个小村没啥餐厅，就去了这家中餐店。虽然是老外中餐，但味道还不错，环境也很干净舒适。加了一份dim sum前餐，原以为是包子烧麦啥的，上的却是三个大大的肉丸子，每个上面盖了一张馄饨皮，怪好吃的，又鲜又多汁，像清蒸狮子头，感觉吃这个加白米饭就够了。对了，他们家不提供酒精饮料。”
“We are vegetarian, and when I talked to the lovely person at the counter she told me exactly what to order. Her enthusiasm was irresistible, and so I ordered the eggplant curry. Which was seriously delicious!! As good…”

How many restaurants does Starworks rank in Tennant Creek?

What star rating should I expect from a good restaurant in Tennant Creek?
The median Google rating across the 10 restaurants Starworks ranks in Tennant Creek, NT is 4.3 stars, and 5 of them sit at 4.5 or above. A rating at or near that median is ordinary for restaurants in Tennant Creek, NT rather than a warning sign on its own, and a rating well above it only means much when enough reviews stand behind it.
How many Google reviews does an established restaurant in Tennant Creek have?
The median restaurant Starworks ranks in Tennant Creek, NT carries 57 Google reviews, and 4 of the 10 restaurants have passed 100.
How does Starworks rank restaurants in Tennant Creek?
Starworks gives every restaurant in Tennant Creek, NT a reputation score out of 100 from three things: its Google star rating (up to 47 points), how many reviews back that rating (up to 35), and whether customers can reach it by website and phone number (up to 18). Review volume is the one part that can subtract: below 15 reviews it costs points, because a near-empty review record gives a stranger very little to go on. No score falls below 0 and placement cannot be bought. The score measures the strength of a business's public review record rather than the quality of its work, so it is worth reading the reviews as well, and every listing links to them on Google.
Why does a restaurant in Tennant Creek with all 5-star reviews score lower than one with a lower rating?
Because review volume counts as well as rating, and below 15 reviews it counts against you. Five perfect reviews are encouraging but thin evidence; three hundred reviews averaging 4.7 tell a stranger far more about what to expect on the day. That is a judgement about how much proof exists, not about the quality of the work, and a newer restaurant with a handful of excellent reviews may still be the right choice in Tennant Creek, NT. The star rating and review count sit next to every score so you can weigh both yourself.
Why does the same restaurant not appear several times on this list?
Some businesses run more than one Google listing, often one per suburb they service. Those are the same company, so Starworks groups them and shows the business once, using the listing with the strongest review record. That is why this page opens with 10 distinct restaurants in Tennant Creek, NT rather than a longer list of repeats.
How often is this list of restaurants in Tennant Creek updated?
This ranking of restaurants in Tennant Creek, NT rebuilds on a 30-day cycle and prints the date of its last rebuild above the list, which for the current version is October 2026. Ratings and review counts are re-read from Google over time rather than on a fixed schedule, so an individual figure here can be older than the rebuild date.
How can I improve my restaurant business ranking in Tennant Creek?
Collect genuine customer reviews consistently, and keep a working website and phone number on your Google listing, because those are the three inputs the score reads. There is no placement to buy on this page. For scale: the median restaurant Starworks ranks in Tennant Creek, NT carries 57 Google reviews at 4.3 stars.
