    Food was really good. We got the tomahawk special to share. It was cooked just perfect. Plenty of space to watch sports/ just sit and relax.

    Nice renovated pub across from the beach. I've been hear many times, thought we would try the karage chicken and give it another to. The flavour was nice but it's like the chicken is from yesterday and re heated. Not fresh tasting and very dry. The beef cheeks were delicious and the beers were cold. The salad was alright, the squid could be cooked more as the texture wasn't the best. No flavour at all. Staff seem friendly if you chat to them but they don't seem to start conversation. Probably wouldn't return to eat again but will be back for a beer or cocktail.

    We've come to the Broadbeach Tavern every time we've visited the Gold Coast over the past few years. They seem to have nailed the formula of location, format of the main dining room and bar area, and decent priced good quality food and drinks. There is a reason it's very popular, with what appears to be both locals and tourists. Kid friendly with high chairs and plenty of space, so you don't feel like you are crammed in. We'll see you again next time!

    A good vibe at Broady Tav but unfortunately their food has gone downhill the last 2-3 months… Their burger & fries were inedible yesterday. Cold & burnt fries, stale bun and an incredibly dry meat patty. Certainly not the same quality they used to produce. I’d love to see it improve as otherwise it’s a great spot for a low key afternoon.

    The venue looks nice, however the food was terrible. We went to order ribs and they had run out, so changed our order to the rump steak…and they had run out of that too. I ordered a kids fish n chips and it came with less than a handful of chips and one tiny piece of fish. My 7 year old was left hungry so we had to order another meal whole meal. The porterhouse steaks weren’t cooked as requested, the well done steak was underdone and came with lots of fat that hadn’t been rendered (see photo) and the medium rare steak was overdone (almost the same as the well done steak). While the service was OK, and the venue was clean we would definitely not return…it was a very disappointing meal.

    i was eating the edamame and i found disgusting worms had infested the whole batch that we received. You seriously gonna serve maggots in a restaurant. I feel like I gotta contact disease control after that meal. Two plates of edamame both crawling with filthy worms. I’m not one to normally leave reviews but i feel as if people should be aware of the edamame. Service was lovely besides

    My partner and I had dinner here on Monday night, My partner ordered the Chicken Schnitzel with mash potatoes and vegetables, I had the Meat Lovers Pizza, the pizza was absolutely awesome, so big I took the rest back to the resort. The staff were very friendly. Sorry about the photo of my pizza it was so tasty and I didn't get a chance to take a photo of my partner's meal as he ate it too quickly.

    First encounter was Happy Hour and we needed a "pick-me-up! So rums, gins and brandys later, we were up there! Then, Friday night meet-up just was fantastic. Everyone were doing their thing, so a plate of chicken wings was the starter. Awesome! Then we wanted burgers as we reckoned they would be tasty. Yahoo! Better than we expected. A great venue, staff are fun and helpful, food is delicious!

  • 5/5 Dave&Dannielle Where Are We N. 1 year ago on Google
    We recently had family down from the sunny coast and we had arranged short notice to meet for lunch, only problem was it was Good Friday 🙏.  So after googling and working out what our options were and what was opened, then ringing to find if they had vacancies to fit a table of 5 in last minute.  We settled on The Broadbeach Tavern, Dave and I have been here a few times for drinks and ended up there one night after The Blues Festival and it was packed solid, great band on and we had the best time .. but that's another story... We arrived on time for our booking 🙌 and were taken in to our table straight away.    Of course we wanted to go straight to the bar to order a round of beers so we could catch up quickly before we ordered but being Good Friday, and being told the rules are we can drink for one hour before our meal and one hour after and we had to order our meals first and be issued with a wrist band before we could get that beer.( not their rules just the rules throughout Qld on Good Friday 🤔) So the boys lined up, whilst I entertained the kids.  Then before long we had our drinks and got to sit and relax.  Unfortunately it wasn't long before the kids were starting to say the inevitable "I'm hungry" to which we replied it won't be long and tried to distract them.  But after every 15 mins we were reminded of their starvation and even as adults after an hour of waiting we too were hungry. Eventually our food came out all at once and exactly as ordered and most importantly it was delicious.   The staff were lovely and before long we had finished and were all in a food coma drinking our next round of drinks.   So yes the wait was longer then we are used too but it was Good Friday and with that in mind that maybe they just didn't schedule enough cooks in the kitchen we loved the rest of our experience and we will be back.

    Great service & atmosphere!! Went here for dinner & drinks with some friends and was thoroughly attended too with outstanding customer service. A huge thank you to Alan for being so lovely

  • 5/5 Sam R. 10 months ago on Google
    I only gave them 5 starts because there wasn't an option for 6! Such an awesome venue! Atmosphere was great. Alan looked after our party so well and was very respectful. We will definitely be coming back for our next night out.

    Somebody stop us we can't get enough of the Buffalo Chicken Wings. These little beauty's have the perfect amount of spice, crunch and sauce. I'm calling the best I've ever had. I know a big call but a worthy one!! We came in off the street for the League and were presently surprised its nice, modern, clean and has friendly staff. The sport screen consists of 12 TVs its huge and the Tab is just as good. We will be back🙏

    Exceptional Service by Alan at The Broadbeach! I had the pleasure of being assisted by Alan during my recent visit to The Broadbeach, and I must say, his service was nothing short of exceptional. Alan's professionalism, attentiveness, and friendly demeanor truly stood out. He went above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic experience. Kudos to Alan for making my visit memorable! 5 stars without a doubt, and a solid 10/10 for his outstanding customer service.

    Had a couple of cocktails with some friends that I haven’t seen in over 10 years… WOW Alans service was out of this world. He made us feel so comfortable, we didn’t want to leave! We wish you the best Alan, thank you!

    Highly recommend this place. Good vibes and friendly staff. I met Taylor, who made the best drinks and funny jokes. Thanks Broadbeach Tavern!!

  • 4/5 Susan T. 6 months ago on Google
    Had a very nice meal. One staff in particular is an absolute asset to the Tavern. Fiona was so friendly and was constantly serving customers, offering snacks, and generally kept herself busy. She was always smiling and found things to do rather than stand idle.

  • 5/5 Sam R. 4 months ago on Google
    During my recent visit to The Broadbeach, I had the wonderful opportunity to be served by Alan. His friendliness and helpfulness were truly remarkable. Alan greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel instantly welcome. He was incredibly attentive, always available to help with recommendations and ensuring our experience was amazing. Alan’s genuine care and outstanding hospitality are reasons enough to return. A big thank you to Alan for such a delightful experience!

    The Broadbeach, a very enjoyable and relaxed time. The wait staff were awesome, always happy to help and nothing was a problem at all. The cocktails, WOW! Absolutely stunning and really hit the spot! Just gorgeous We’ll definitely be back!

    Pretty average for what they’re charging for their food and drinks. The buffalo wings were good but the fish and chips were really disappointing. Their Lamb rissoles weren’t that great either and to top it all, the chips didn’t feel fresh at all and came in cold and soggy.

  • 4/5 Natalia G. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is nice. We order a few plates i asked to change the mash potato in the beef cheek for sweet potatoes and they said yes with no charge extra (is a good idea 😊) and the sweet potato are verry ñami. The only thing the size for the beef cheek was small

  • 5/5 Margo W. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love coming here, especially for the cocktails! Service is always amazing and so is the food. Has a great atmosphere and although always busy, we always get a good spot with quick service! We're from Brisbane and this is our regular go to spot for a drink and a great feed! Can't wait to come back when we're down the coast again! Shout out to Annie for always looking after us!

  • 5/5 Courtney B. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome service right from the get go. Accommodating nearly 40 of us at a very last minute. All the staff were lovely and were passed on to the manager who guided us through the ordering service, he was very helpful and friendly. Pavlovia Martini.... dangerously delicious! The food all came out reasonably quickly and the chefs did a job very well done 👏🏽 I had the ribs (super tender), and tried the prawn and chorizo pizza which was also delsih!! Thank you for the awesome hospitality for our New Zealand group!

    Had the best feed and time at the Tavern. The Beef Pie was absolutely amazing and the wait staff were so friendly. The QR Code menu was so easy to use as well. Will be coming back.

  • 5/5 Georgia E. 1 year ago on Google
    Food and drinks absolutely amazing! We accidentally ordered two of the Halloumi fries and did not regret it in the slightest. I had the beef cheeks too and it was the most amazing meal I've had in a while, so tender it just fell apart. Plus the pavlova martini came with a whole pavlova in it! It was awesome and so yummy. Really really impressed with our visit and will be recommending to everyone.

  • 5/5 Ashley M. 2 years ago on Google
    Pavlova Martini!!!! Not to sweet and not to bland. Just the perfect taste! 🍸 Great service & Great food! Would 100% recommend. Great Amazing service by Manager Luke 😊.

  • 1/5 Peter G. 1 year ago on Google
    Hi. Myself & my visiting family had lunch on Monday this week . My partner ordered the fish & chips, which was $25.00 & the serving of the dish wasn't worth 10.00. 1 piece of fish & small side of chips. I took the meal back to the counter & spoke to a lady at the pass & she replied by saying thats the serving for that price & turned away. I spoke to the supervisor on duty after we had finished our meal (if that's what you call it) & showed here the photo of the serving & it was appalling for that price. She said she will speak to the chef about the size of the serving. As a local who visits your hotel & have done for along time this is not acceptable. My brother ordered the chile karrage chicken which wasn't spicy at all. This is really disappointing we had to encounter this experience. Peter Garside.

  • 5/5 Riley L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the pork ribs, black angus rib fillet, sweet potato fries, sticky date and orange and almond cake. Pork ribs were tender and tasted very nice. The rib fillet was cooked perfectly with the just the right amount of sides. The meat itself was pretty decent and was not chewy or unpleasant. The sticky date was moist and cakey whilst the orange and almond cake was dense which was absolutely how I would expect it. The venue was very spacious and clean. Food came out relatively fast. Wait staff were very friendly and welcoming.
