The Moreton Bay bug roll has its own reputation on the Gold Coast, and it earns every bit of it. Rick Shores sits right on Burleigh Heads beach, open-windowed and facing the water, which makes a sunset booking one of the better decisions you can make on the Gold Coast. The menu runs Pan-Asian, with housemade roti built for mopping up coconut prawn curry, salmon spring rolls with avocado cream, and Phoenix Wagyu in truffle honey sauce. A chef's hat on the wall, $90 set menu at lunch, and floor staff who actually know the food. Prices sit firmly in the expensive bracket, but multiple reviewers report leaving too full for dinner. Walk-ins are welcome, though a window seat at sunset is a different story. Book for that.

Absolutely stunning experience at Rick Shores. The view alone is worth the visit. The dining area faces the beach with open windows, and we went during sunset for dinner. It was genuinely magical. We didn’t make a booking and were trying to get one beforehand, but luckily they always keep tables for walk-ins. We didn’t have to wait and even got a bar seat, which was perfect. The host was friendly and informative, setting the tone right away. Our server, Nataniel, was fun, warm, and genuinely attentive. He gave us honest and thoughtful recommendations on what to order, and every suggestion was spot on. He’s a vibe 😂 Amazing food, incredible views, and great service. Will definitely be back.

Rick Shores is an amazing restaurant that really has it all. The food is delicious, the staff are so friendly and the view is astonishing. We were fortunate enough to have a beach front view that felt like you were looking at a postcard! Our waitress Elizabeth was a breath of fresh air that added so much to our experience. She was very personable, had a great knowledgeable of the menu and made excellent recommendations about the food and activities in the area as well. You are lucky to have her. The food was amazing and we loved the flavours and the creativity. The salmon spring rolls were an unexpected highlight, with the avocado cream pairing just delightful. The super light housemade roti is an absolute must to soak up the sauce from one of their delicious curries. We had the coconut prawn curry and it was divine. The signature Moreton Bay bug rolls are delicious as they look, and the Phoenix Wagyu in the truffle honey sauce is a must try. A beautiful location with amazing food and staff. Well done Rick Shores, thank you for a wonderful experience that we won't forget.
