Sense 2: a restaurant serving this type of food (seafood and meat). In Google Books I cannot find "reef and beefs" plural; I also tried a few things like "a reef and beef in Queensland" etc. and could find nothing. If this sense fails then the noun template should presumably be changed to uncountable. Equinox ◑ 13:23, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- Even on plain Google, "a reef and beef in" only gets two hits, of which one is a gibberish site that snippets/words together to drive clicks and the other is someone on Facebook saying "Got a reef and beef in Townsville northward store couple nights ago. Didn't taste right", clearly meaning sense 1. I do see at least a few hits for the plural "reef and beefs" on the raw web, like "when our reef and beefs arrived [...] they were great", but that's still sense 1 and is not anywhere durable — not even Usenet or Issuu, where "a reef and beef" doesn't get any relevant hits, either. - -sche (discuss) 18:35, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- No cites for this sense in Trove newspaper database. Most cites there are as a proper noun for the name of a specific restaurant. - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 12:50, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
