    Ribs done

    Second time back! And still so good! The service is amazing at this place and staff are amazing at checking up on things. Best service our whole trip to surfers for sure! We came back after Christmas on the 27th of Dec 2020 and although packed they managed to squeeze us in to a table for 2. I ordered the ribs which I thought was half a rack ended up being a full rack with chips and slaw! Massive! Partner got a sea-schnitzel. It was a big serve although he only got 2 prawns which was probably not worth the extra $$ than a normal schnitzel. Overall great place and a reason it's number one on Yelp!

    The Avenue has alcoholic Ginger Beer and Espresso Martinis ON TAP. It's like they never want me to leave! Came here with family and cousin. Kids both ordered kids Cheeseburgers while adults had pasta and rump steak (on special for only $18!!). Food was delivered quickly and was generally excellent. The prawn linguini was delicious but the steaks were a little over-cooked (more medium than medium rare) but All in all, the staff were friendly and super helpful and the overall experience was excellent.

    The food was delicious, service was great, and we enjoyed the drinks! We had a wonderful meal and considered coming back multiple times in our 2 dat visit (and wish we had!)

    We found this restaurant from Yelp because it offered sweet potato chips, which was our criteria today . We ordered BBQ pork ribs with coleslaw. The sweet potato chips requires extra 2 dollars. It took about 20 minutes to wait for the dish, but it was worth it. The ribs were very tender and I liked the sauce very much. It was a very big portion and we shared one, which had made us full already!

    Hard Nite Burger

    On the menu, they have burgers, pizza, bbq skewers, and other large entrees. I ordered the Hard Nite burger, which came with beef, spinach, bacon, onions, and a hard boiled egg on top. It was quite a tall burger, especially with a whole egg on top. The beef patty was really thick and juicy. The burger is actually the best that I've had in Australia so far. The dish came with a side if sweet potato fries as well. The sweet potato fries were really good, cooked with fresh oil. I would definitely come here again. The restaurant is pretty spacious, good for large parties. They also have performances at The Avenue.

    We were visiting Gold Coast and found the Avenue #1 on Yelp. Food was very good, so was the service. Highly recommended

    Blonde on tap

    I was pleasantly surprised at how great this place is. The food was so delicious we had the pork belly burger, the king prawn fettuccine, and the The Bronx doubled up. We also got the blonde on tap and I have to say everything was excellent. The beer was so smooth and easy to drink. The pork belly so crispy and the slaw was flavored to match. The Bronx burger I loved the flavor of the beef and the pasta was really good with a kick of spice. Also the white chocolate marshmallow pizza oh it was so so good. I really liked the food here and the staff was so extremely nice. I'd come here again and again.

    The spaghetti was delicious but they could've given more cheese I added salt and it was much better.

If you are acknowledging there will be a wait be honest about it. Two groups who were served after me got their orders first. Waiting also sadly, allowed me to witness the owner (I believe it was, he was the main cook and eldest man), being quite blunt, rude and sharp with his staff on several occasions. Staff who I believe were his family? If you have an open kitchen be aware that your behaviour towards others is on show. When finally receiving our takeaway... the meals were pleasant. I had the grilled salmon and this was beautifully cooked and very flavourful. The burgers we ordered were good, especially for a fish & chip shop, which can be substandard as they don't cook burgers as a main item. The chips were a big average, a little soggy for my likely, but again tasted pleasant. My salad was good - I'd like to have been offered a vinaigrette or dressing for it but wasn't and a larger salad serve would have been good as it was quite small. All in all, I'm sorry to say we will not be visiting this store again.

The food is solid and a typical fusion mix of a miso infused pork belly next to a roast beef sirloin with roast vegies. A laksa next to cold cuts of meat and breadrolls... maybe not so much fusion in hindsight, maybe its a bit of two worlds crossed like star crossed lovers... but with some sushi. So essentially multiple asian countries crossed with the typical aussie fair. So really the world is kissing and youre eating, gross but sweet but gross but kind of nice.. getting off topic here. Lets get this right, the food is nothing really awesome but when combined with queenslands only 360 revolving restaurant a la candlelight 26 stories above a la central gold coast broadbeach... the taste is yelping spectacular $62 later a head plus $4.50 for a glass of coke. So recommended but not really for a regular visit. Perfect for romance and walking a full stomach off by the breathtaking beach.

    Overall the experience was pretty average although we didn't go hungry between the selection of…read morehighs and lows. The revolving restaurant was a tad disappointing. The main attraction being the view was mostly unseen as the lighting inside was too bright to view the night lights outside. Instead you saw your own reflection when trying to peer out. My recommendation is to go for a day or early evening seating if you want to take in the view. The dessert buffet was the best part of the evening. The worst part, the other patrons. Some patrons had been scooping the oysters from their shells at the buffet station so care had to be taken not to select an empty oyster shell. Searching through the empty oyster shell rubble we managed to find some tasty morsels to return to our table with. The crab was a disaster, stringy dry overcooked crab meat was hardly worthy of the effort involved to get to it. However, the prawns were amazing. The main buffet was a collection of over cooked salmon, tasty veal, chicken, tough chewy steak and tragically over cooked lamb cutlets. The sides were pretty boring - steamed or roasted vegetables. The dessert buffet had a great selection of sugary treats, chilli chocolate pano cotta, pavlova, doughnuts, ice cream, a broad selection of cheeses and fresh fruit to name a few. Ho ho ho hum... Not the highlight of my Christmas vacation. But it wasn't all that bad value for what fare was available.

This night I ordered a garlic bread, 1/2 dozen Oysters Mornay and the Sizzling Garlic Prawns. The garlic bread was a nicely cooked and sliced mini Cobb loaf. Plenty of butter but a little light on the garlic. The oysters were the highlight for me. Super fresh and cheesy. Just how I like 'em. Only issue here was that whoever shucked them was a bit rough - there was a couple bits of shell shards. The prawns were nice and fresh and tasted great. Unfortunately the rice that it came on was just boiled rice - bland. Also, not enough garlic in this dish! MOAR! Overall there was no major issue with the food and I left content. I just wish they were a little bolder with their flavours.
