The Jackaroo Bar And Grill was in TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice listing when we pulled it in August 2026: No. 28 on our list, in that listing's order. As of August 2026 it scores 4.9 on Google from 840 reviews, against 4.9 on TripAdvisor from 129. Google's sample is 7× larger, so the local read carries more weight here than the traveller one. On our consensus measure they agree 83%: the gap is not a difference of opinion, it is TripAdvisor's smaller sample (129 reviews) being weighted toward the 4.45 baseline. Our stamp: google backs it up. Google's review sample is at least twice TripAdvisor's, and weighted for sample size it does better on Google, relative to TripAdvisor, than the typical winner on this list does.
