Two years running as QHA Best Sporting Entertainment venue, the Burleigh Town Hotel's sports bar is the main event. Multiple screens, UFC nights, and a beer garden big enough to actually breathe in. The bistro covers all the pub standards: share plates, pizza, mains, a kids' menu, and weekly specials worth knowing about, particularly the $25 steak burger and schooner deal. The gelato cone at the end gets more love in reviews than most of the mains. Service can be stretched thin on busy nights, and pacing of meals is inconsistent, so order simply if you're in a hurry. Come for the footy, the Friday raffles, and a cold drink in the undercover outdoor area. The food is honest pub fare at fair prices, nothing more.

What People Say
Handy pub close to high way & surrounding areas. Large free car park for patrons. Nice feel to pub with undercover outdoor area, verandah area & inside, all with large TV screens. Can order at table or bar. Menu is extensive - share, specials, kids, pizza, mains & deserts. Full pub bar. Prices were fair. Meals came out not as we had ordered or expected unfortunately, kids meal & 1 'entree size calamari main', then a delay for the next 2 mains & 2 sides (were meant to come with the calamari). When I chased up the 2 sides delivery, was made to feel any confusion was my fault (unsure why you would order 2 sides of vegetables & mash when both mains came with veges). The food itself was fine & large portion sizes. Overall & ok experience.
Wasn’t overly impressed when they brought out food, they brought our table of 3 food out at random times and garlic bread entrees at the end? Also was terrible outside as smokers were standing right by the tables near entrance smoking. Great food if you get the weekly specials. $25 steak burger and schooner. Overall great but some small inconveniences
The Burleigh Town Hotel and Pub is an excellent venue for UFC fight enthusiasts, boasting a revamped Sports Bar with state-of-the-art screens featuring technology and facilities and perfect for an immersive viewing experience for your favourite watch on a footy game, soccer, boxing etc. The adjacent restaurant offers a family-friendly environment, complete with a secure play area for children, allowing parents to enjoy their meals while their kids play. Additionally, the pub features a spacious pokie area with numerous machines and friendly staff. A bottle shop with a drive-through service, 'LIQUOR LAND,' is conveniently located at the rear entrance, offering competitive prices. Ample parking is available, including wheelchair-accessible spaces, and the building's level ground ensures easy navigation. The staff are courteous and helpful, and the Friday raffles are a popular attraction, solidifying Burleigh Pub's reputation as the top sports bar on the Gold Coast in my opinion 😀✌️.
Went for lunch with a group of four on a Saturday. It was busy but had a good atmosphere and wasn’t too noisy considering how many people were there. Service was quick, though the staff came across a little impatient when ordering. The food was pretty average and quite overpriced for what we got. The kransky hotdogs were on the specials menu — they were ok but not worth $25 each. We also tried the prawn and bug roll, but the seafood was so bland we couldn’t tell what was prawn or bug, and the calamari and chips were cold and didn’t even resemble calamari — honestly one of the worst we’ve had. Overall, there are definitely better places around for a decent pub meal, but if you just want a drink with friends in a lively setting, it’s a good spot. The gelato ice cream on a cone afterwards was delicious though — definitely worth it! The only downside was walking through the pokies area to the dining room, which had a strong smell of cleaning products mixed with bad men’s cologne — not very pleasant. We also purchased tickets in the seafood raffle. The winning ticket wasn’t called out over the PA as expected and was instead given directly to a man sitting nearby. When we asked staff how they knew he had the winning ticket and why it wasn’t announced publicly, their explanation was vague and evasive. Very disappointing—would expect transparency and fairness in a public raffle.
Went there last night for a friends birthday, and honestly maybe they were understaffed that night but the fact there was two bar tenders on in one bar for a packed busy night seemed baffling to me. The bar staff where amazing(not there fault understaffed) but I think management needs to look at putting more people on. 30- 40 min wait on drinks thru the app (we ordered standard beers) or a 20 min wait at the one bar. Ordered the nachos and while yes tasty got like 10 chips we had to just eat beans with a fork. We also had a cake and when we asked for plates they said they were out which also indicated low staff in the kitchen. Anyway could be an amazing place to go on a Saturday night if they just put more staff on.

Tropical Fruit World
Duranbah
Two hours by tractor through orchards growing fruits most Australians have never seen, let alone tasted. The guided tastings are the main event, the jackfruit Reuben and Black Sapote cake make a strong case for staying for lunch, and the fruit stall on the way out is dangerously well-stocked.

McDonald's Burleigh Heads
Burleigh Heads
Late-night drive-through on the Gold Coast Highway, open when almost nothing else is. Fresh nuggets are a highlight according to regulars, though cleanliness and portion sizes can be hit and miss. Best approached via the app, ideally after midnight.

Custard Canteen
Palm Beach
Pastries made on site daily at Tallebudgera Creek, with Marvell Street coffee and a Biscoff croissant that reviewers can't stop talking about. The chips are genuinely exceptional, the Portuguese tarts go fast, and the salted caramel milkshake is non-negotiable.

Tarte Beach House
Currumbin
A balcony over Currumbin Creek, a lobster roll worth ordering twice, and a chocolate chip cookie that a professional chef called the best she'd ever eaten. Tarte Beach House takes bookings at the Currumbin location. Use them.
