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!

We went there for dinner last night and it was pretty good. There were quite a few of us and a few…read morekids and they catered for us well. 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.

Place looked impressive, they have a prohibition theme going on and some staff were dressed in that era. I must say, they looked very stylish. A smiling and very personable Abigail took our coffee orders and the charming Shannon took our food requests. Kudos to the flair and the warm interaction they both had. Nothing was troublesome and the food arrived in less then 10 minutes. Wow. I would definitely come here again; especially after Abigail took the time to talk about the Loose Moose like it was her own business. The young lady has passion and it's so obvious she loves what she does. The cocktail menu was pretty phenomenal and those that are interested there're about 80 varieties of whiskey! This is now on my must visit places in Broadbeach and I hope they retain their service, style and old world meets modern charm. Thanks guys!

We arrived on a Friday afternoon, took our seats, and after some confusion around table service (it is) ordered coffees, and I took advantage of the all day breakfast menu, and asked for the 'farmer' (poached eggs, rosemary potato hash, bacon and sourdough). The coffees came out first, and were fantastic. Using Brisbane's Cup Coffee beans, they make a great cappuccino. The food was also excellent. The open plan kitchen allows you to watch the chef make your breakfast as you quiet your stomach's rumbling. The eggs were 'just so' and oozed out decadently over the twice cooked bacon. The potato hash wasn't dry, and the rosemary wasn't overpowering. As we left, I grabbed a second coffee, knowing that I was a long way from my next good one. If you're in the area, Blackboard should absolutely be on your to do list.

And not the good kind. I made the trip from Brisbane as I'd heard great reviews so was glad to tick it off my list of must-do's on the GC.

The service was fantastic when we went, we took a seat and were served within 2 minutes. Drinks were out within 3 more minutes and meals within 20 and it was a busy night. Very impressive. Everyone's meals were really good. The ONLY reason why u haven't given 5 stars on this rating is that I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out close to well done: and when you're paying $40 for a steak you expect that if you order a steak medium, it will come out as a medium. I mentioned it to staff and they immediately offered a re cook which I didn't need so they offered me a complimentary drink which I also declined. In the end they just took one of the drinks off the bill which evened it out in the end. That's going above and beyond. Overall a well done effort hooters, really happy customers tonight

But I have been here 4 times. 1st: I'd seen the work being down to get it open, so had to go 2nd: I took a couple of guys from work, as a bit of a piss-take, and to try the wings. 3rd: A couple of friends were up from NSW, and they love wings (and so did I on my 2nd visit), and we wanted somewhere close to watch the footy, so off to Hooters it was 4th: So I live upstairs from Hooters, so it was convenient for a snack and drink in the Saturday afternoon sun. (And said NSW visitors wanted cheesy fries & wings again) 1: Do I like the food? Wings, Cheesy Curly Fries, Garlic Bread. YES. A mighty big YES. There's 2 stars their folks. Not 3, because I found the burger I had a bit meh.... 2: Are there enough TV's to catch AFL in a Rugby state and not have to straight my neck or eyes? Yes. And are the drinks reasonably priced? Yes. Another 2 stars. 3: Location. I live upstairs. It's EASY/ 1 star. 4. Service. Just, so so bad. Ok, so the girls are nice and friendly. But they are hired to be nice & friendly, and look good in tiny shorts & tight hooters singlets. Clearly not hired to be able to be decent waitresses, and get orders right, or bring the right food out, and check on drinks as needed. They clearly mean well, and are just as nice to the girls as guys (which you don't normally find in breastaurants such as Hooters), but I just shake my head. And there's only so long that I can be patient when I'm paying $17 for 10 wings that technically if I wasn't so lazy I could cook myself from the supermarket. Minus 2 stars. I would normally minus 3 for the service, but I'll go back because it's convenient and the wings are really good. They do take away so I think i'll just do that next time I have a craving for wings. Fun Fact: Tell them its your birthday, or bucks do, and it turns into a Johnny Rockets type of event with singing & dancing, and hula hooping! Another Fun (or not so Fun) Fact: If you're a boob man (or woman), you may or may not enjoy it. I think I grew up with the notion that Hooters girls were Pamela Anderson look alikes. Turns out I'm waaay wrong. Who knows, maybe they work at hooters to save up for bigger implants?!? If you're an a$$ man, Forget it. The shorts are far from flattering, and they're clearly hired for their hooters not be-hinds! (Yes, I am judging the staff on looks, its HOOTERS!)

Naturally we had to visit one of their facilities on this trip, and he planned our drive around Gold Coast to visit the original taproom. It was a weekend afternoon so it was super quiet, just one other customer. The bartender was immediately welcoming and eager to talk and pour. It's a smaller location in a commercial plaza, with open doors and two sections: the bar and a few tables, and an event area with barrels and tables. They had a big selection of to-go beer as well. I had a flight of favorite styles and wasn't disappointed in any of them. Great quality and selection overall. If you're a beer fan and vacationing in Gold Coast, this is a must visit.
