Service was not unfriendly, and venue had the relaxed holiday atmosphere which was lovely, the food was a little whelming. We had battered flat head and chips which was boarding on fish less, cold, soggy and drowning in chicken salt. We also had crumbed calamari, disproportionally more batter/ crumb than calamari again chicken salt was very heavy handed, the chips were hot, which was nice. Lastly fish burgers had a good serve of fish on an un toasted buns with coleslaw both unexpected but okay. We wanted so very much to enjoy our meal, feel like maybe the shop has changed hands?

I was told a chap named James made my burgers. Big props to him. The combo came with a good portion of chips that were lovely and crisp. The atmosphere was as you'd expect, very beachy and relaxed. Overall a great dining experience.

There is always a long line in the Restuarant and that tells how good their seafood is. A must try for Australian seafood on the Gold Coast!!!! Also, they will be feed their pelicans everyday with their fish remains at around 1.00pm. Of course, if you have some fried chips or seafood left behind, you can feed the birds, too.

Great seafood in an enchanting environment…read more After dining in 'downtown' Surfers Paradise for a few days I thought I would give Tedder Ave a try as I had heard good things. A walk up and down the strip reading menus and surveying the scene landed me at Shuck Restaurant and Bar. I started with a half of a dozen oysters. I wanted to try both the Sydney Rock and Natural Pacific and they were kind enough to serve me three of each. The Pacifics were oyster perfection - briny and meaty and tasting fresh from the sea. The Sydneys were not to my taste - somewhat flavorless and a bit sweet if anything. To each their own....YMMV. I followed them with the Moreton Bay Bug Tempura served in an onion salad with nori and a wasabi sauce. The bugs were fried lusciousness and the salad a tasty crunchy accompaniment. In a perfect world there would have been less sauce (and perhaps more wasabi in the sauce)...but that isn't really a complaint so much as a note for next time. I chose an Ara Chardonnay to accompany my meal. In a perfect world a Chenin Blanc would be offered...but I've since learned that neither Australia nor New Zealand grows a lot of the grape. The atmosphere is fun and open - I had an exterior table and watched the world walk by. The service was wonderful.

With some sour cream dollops and some puréed peas was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. The Sydney oysters paired with an Ara Sauv Blanc from NZ was top shelf. The Ara Chard was actually better than the Sauv Blanc (wow!). The restaurant manager doted on me and made me feel at home - like I've eaten here every week for months. And, finally, the Affogato was a perfect finish. It's not ridiculously expensive - actually for price-performance, you can't go wrong. Go to Shucks and enjoy a fantastic meal!

We loved the ambiance and the environment were we could enjoy the beautiful scenery and people watch while enjoying fresh, organic, food. We loved that the menu fit every person in the family including an amazing vegan burger that was a huge hit! Zucchini noodles for another meal that had. Amazing toppings. And flavors. The burgers were fresh meat and perfect flavor. We all LOVED the fries and the dink options. Iwould definitely recommend this restaurant and be prepared to have your tastebuds impressed.

Check my tip below…read more I visited Australia for the first time this summer. I was at Pacific Fair just 3 weeks ago and I must say I was impressed with a couple of burger shops (Grill'd, and Betty's). The quality, the taste and the texture of the burger at Grill'd were simply perfect. I would recommend the truffle burger - you cannot go wrong with that especially if you like that strong truffle taste. It was divine!! I was singing with every bite! Try the delicious zucchini fries!! Please open a branch in Washington D.C. Till that day :) or till I return!

While I'm not a vegetarian, as you'll see if you keep reading this review, I enjoy vegetarian dishes and felt this was a breath of fresh air compared to most vegetarian burgers are either mushroom or veggie. My partner got the Depot Burger which had so much on it he couldn't even finish. The next time we went with another couple, and I had the Coney Island hot dog. For whatever reason cheese sauce is hard to come by in Australia, so having this chili and cheese dog was great. The Brooklyn Depot definitely lived up to its "American street food" motto. On a side note, I ordered my French fries with a side of ranch, and the American server asked me where I was from. When I replied that I'm from Michigan, she said only people from the States order ranch with their fries, and we commiserated about our shared love of ranch. Haha. She also didn't charge me for the ranch. Love this place. The only somewhat negative thing I'll say is they don't take reservations, and we had to wait almost a half an hour to get seated. But the food is worth the wait. Wish they had more beers on tap but considering they just opened, hopefully maybe in the future that will change.

Salmon was juicy & flavorful. Cannot say enough about the quality of the seafood & large portions they provided! The potatoes were prepared very similar to scalloped potatoes & broccolini was crisp & not over cooked. They had outside & inside seating to choose from. A very delicious Monteiths Pale Ale from New Zealand on Draft to boot! Cheers Mate Give them a try!

It is just across the street from the beach - and offers a beautiful view (with a few passing cars) of the beach. But the food. Wow. Fresh pieces of fish - cooked mostly natural and perfectly. We had a dozen oysters, including delicious Tazmanian oysters. And then continued on with a beautiful piece of swordfish from Mooloolaba. It was slow grilled, and then served with a little veal au jus and topped with a small creamy piece of Foie Gras. We also had the jumbo prawns which were bold, bright and tasty. With each entree - they also bring you a selection of sides a part of the meal. Our included a bowl of bright vegetables with snow peas, a bowl of oven baked potatos, fresh cos salad. For a treat, be sure to try their house made tartar sauce on your potatos (but don't on the fish. It needs no such thing). The staff there was friendly and helpful. They paired beautiful local wines with each course. And were generous with the time and energy. This is a place I would return to any time in the area!

First of all the environment is pretty good，lights quite dark but the atmosphere is nice. A bit noisy but it's acceptable. As other people mentioned that the fish is fresh，that's true，but maybe it's personal taste issue the fish is not that tasty as i expect. Last, the price is quite expensive, we ordered three dishes for $180.
