It's a rarity to find a pub or bar in the hustle and bustle of Surfers Paradise where the staff actually enjoy working there. It definitely makes a difference to the venue's vibe! The bar staff also enjoy a good chat and a bit of banter across the bar and this is one of the few Irish pubs in Surfers that actually employees Irish people! Not only adding to the atmosphere, but it means there are staff who can actually pour a good pint of Guinness! There is live music most nights of the week from 9pm, with a band on every Friday and Saturday night. True to their roots there is also traditional Irish entertainment there every Sunday afternoon. In terms of food it has a great range of pub style food at great prices. I've found the food to always be amazing, even the specials (usually $10-15) are spot on! You definitely can't go past the $10 steaks that they do for lunch and dinner! One of the main things that I LOVE about the food here is that they stick to what they're good at; good quality pub-style food at a reasonable price! This is a great pub that caters for everyone, from families, to older couples and young 20-somethings looking for a good night out, there is something for everyone in Fiddlers. This is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of the owners and management! See you there!

While in the Gold Coast, we stumbled upon Surfers Sandbar. It's a large restaurant situated across…read morethe street from the beach with both inside and outside seating. We visited for both breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, we ordered the BLAT, which is a bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato sandwich, which came with hash brown cakes. It was very good. The eggs Benedict plate was equally delicious. For lunch, we had the fish and chips and prawns (shrimp) tacos. The fish and chips were the star of this meal. Regarding the service, you can order from a QR code or from the counter. All of the employees were friendly and attentive.

This was actually one of my favorite places I ate in the Gold Coast…read more After a few intense days of travel, I took a bit of a walk down the beach to get to The Cardamom Pod - because it looked fab from the reviews. I was not let down! I got a cute little table in the super adorable boho styled restaurant. I prefered the order at the counter and sit down type of style for lunch, as it gets kind of lonely when you have table service for one all the time. So I was happy that was the case here! #travellife I got the three entree plate and holy sh*t that was a good idea. I had a salad, an indian rice, and a veggie curry. I seriously ate that in less than a minute, it was so good. I also got a chai latte because those are always good, but I seriously ate my lunch before that chai came out. Good thing about chai is that it can also act as dessert, but I decided to go full force and get a vegan ice cream sundae also because I was starving and I can't turn down vegan desserts. I saw the looks of jealousy from the tables next to me. I was so happy to have my first vegan ice cream sundae in the two and a half years I've been vegan. As much as I tried, I could not finish that thing, so I took the brownie to go and it was a great snack later on the bus (where I also received looks of jealousy). I'd totally recommend the Cardamom Pod for a casual lunch in Gold Coast. I'd say the only drawback was that it was a tad pricy, but the vegan options and super cute ambiance make up for that.

How super-cute is this place!!! I loved the bohemian-chic atmosphere complete with wicker chairs,…read moremismatched furniture, beaded chandeliers, random seating arrangements, Moroccan wall hangings, and outdoor benches with funky tent-like drapes billowing over them. Definitely a nice change from all the super-trendy, super-sleek Broadbeach eateries surrounding this place. The Cardamom Pod is charming without trying to be trendy or upmarket. Both times I went, I got a mix of things from the display case with rice and a savoury pie. This is a vegetarian restaurant, but they have clearly-marked vegan options and their staff knows what "vegan" means. Unfortunately, the two nights I went, the vegan stuff was mostly already gone, so I didn't have much of a selection. So vegans might want to make this more of a lunch or early-evening stop rather than heading in after 7pm like I did. On the flip side, because they were trying to get rid of their remaining food before closing, I did get a nice discount :) Food was tasty and filling, not amazing, but nice. My mom (who is not a vegan or vegetarian) got the non-vegan lasagne and raved about it. Only downside is it did seem like their regular prices are a little steep. Then again, this is a touristy area and most people around here are on holiday and willing to splash a little cash. Will definitely go back the next time I'm in the Gold Coast!

Came here for 4th of July as we are Americans and wanted to celebrate at an American style diner…read more It was very easy making a reservation and finding parking nearby. Upon entry we checked in with the cashier and were seated at a reserved table. We both ordered burgers as well as cheese fries, a strawberry shake, and a dr pepper to drink. Now I was very much in between a 3-4 star review however because you can't do it in the middle I rounded up simply for their outstanding service and delicious burgers. They were the most "American-Tasting" burgers I have eaten since being in Australia. Fantastic quality and they even have a thousand-island type sauce!! However I was very disappointed with the milkshake and cheese fries. They took the term MILKshake literally and it simply tasted like strawberry milk. It was not thick like a regular ice cream based shake. I left nearly the entire thing on the table after having one taste. The fries were also a disappointment. Definitely don't expect them to taste like cheese fries back home. They simply had a cheesy sauce resembling nacho cheese instead of having melted cheese. However due to the fantastic service and incredible burgers I'm giving this place 4 stars. I will definitely be back for the burgers!

Between us we tried the southern fried chicken wings, the chilli, the choc malt shakes, the double beef burger, the burger special (spicy) and the Mac and cheese. The milk shake was awesome-great flavour. The Mac and cheese was delicious too-nice strong cheesy flavour. My husband loved his double burger but I found mine (the special) to have way too much mayo on it and it just overpowered the burger flavour and it fell apart in my hands. Finally the chicken was just a bit too bland for fried chicken. Plus fried chicken should probably be whole pieces of chicken, not wings (just my view on this though) The service was excellent and the tap beer was great too. Would go back for a standard burger and shake. Price was reasonable but I also have a little bit of an issue in paying nearly $15 for a burger and you still have to buy fries or something on the side. If I could, I would probably give Easy Street 3 1/2 stars but because I can't, I will round it up to 4 base on the great service.

I ordered the forager and swapped feta for tahini and added a poached egg. It was to die for! Just such a delicious and delectable breakfast. Wonderful flavor and filling too.
