Burleigh Town Hotel

Bar Pub Bistro

🫤 I really wanted this place to be amazing. It has the potential and great atmosphere. Food was bland. Steak was a bit chewy and pizza was without much flavor nor crispy. Kids were happy but their fries were not done. Kids playground is great. Food experience doesn’t match the price tag. People often mention great, good, friendly, kids, staff, area, play, meals, delicious, service,

    Great Tavern with a huge covered outdoor area. Kid friendly with a massive play area and dedicated kids zone. They have separated the main sections of the pub so if you want to stay away from the rowdy screamers you can, easily. The Bistro is open all day on Saturday and Sunday from 1130am which is awesome. We came in for a late lunch, on a long weekend, around 3. The staff had obviously been hammered but were still very friendly and inviting. We ordered our meals and were eating in less than 10 mins. The Salt n Peppa squid was excellent. Definitely made in house. Tender enough to cut with a fork. I had a schnitty as usual (the best indicator of any bistro) and my partner had the Yakuza burger (like a Japanese fried chicken burger). The chicken burger was a bit dry but still had great flavour, although I would recommend seasoning or marinating the wing garnish. The schnitty was massive, and very good. I couldn't breathe for a few hours. Would recommend to friends.

    Nacho didn’t really have any flavour and it was mostly chips slightly burned. The wings were good but the blue cheese sauce was running and didn’t taste like blue cheese. Crispy calamari wasn’t crispy crispy. The renovation are wonderful though.

    I really, really enjoyed my Lamb Shank last night, it was really tender and filling and the gravy was very tasty as well. I went there for a celebration for my new job and they congratulated me on arrival which I found quite nice and they gave me a nice big shank. I definitely enjoyed my time here. I used to go here as a kid for the Pizza

    I had the pleasure of being served my delicious meal by Laura, the most amazing server ever. She was so professional, but so lovely, had a laugh with us and even complimented my nails 😊 The food was absolutely outstanding, so fresh and full of flavour!! The service was immaculate all around, the guys at the sports bar were super friendly and everyone was smiling and having a laugh. Will certainly be back and I sure hope I am lucky enough to be served by Laura again!

    Definitely recommend a dinner or lunch at this venue. Great for kids, lots of shade and an indoor and outdoor play area. Staff were very friendly and we received meals real quick. Meals sizes very generous and tasty.

    For a pub ... l love the meals there , good selection of meal . Nice looking pub well the restaurant part is being a non-drinker , l can't talk about the alcohol side but it's a great family oriented pub , normal pub rules for children and the bars but outside there is play swing set and the staff did not seem to mind kids running around in the restaurant part .

    My wife and kids love going here and have been going for years. Food always delivers. They even have a play area for the kids outside. We don’t really use the gambling facilities, although I have played on the slot machines a few times and lost. Better to use that money for more food or a good drink.

    So happy to have found our new local. Absolutely love it here and the staff are so friendly too. Turned up at 5am to watch the soccer and they even cooked everyone a free bacon and egg breakfast. Great outdoor area with picnic tables and umbrellas, and enough room for kids to run around on the grass or play area. Love it here!

    Very cool place, great service, food and range of bars with the sports bar and front bar with outside dining.

    Nice looking place. Came for lunch. Started with 1 pint of (not fancy One Fifty Lashes and a 250ml house red) $29.30. Looked at the 'tavern' menu prices and left after that.

    I love the renovations to the place , very vibey atmosphere. Myself and partner came here to eat as it was the only place local that had salmon on the menu . I was a bit disappointed with my meal as it said the salmon was hot. Unfortunately it was all cold , still enjoyed it but was hoping for hot salmon as it said on the menu. Prices are reasonably good. My partners wagyu beef burger was average he said that it was going cold as he was eating it. I liked the venue but Id probably come dine here again just not in a rush too though

    The renovations are great. Service and staff are lovely. It’s a shame they have taken away the range of main stream Aussie largers though and replaced them with the man bun range. The price of the beer is bordering on extortion. Im pretty sure the pavilion is cheaper and has slightly better views. The food is great however. We still eat there but it’s not a place we have a sesh with a few bevies.

    I like the atmosphere here but the music outside is way too loud. Can’t hear each other talk. The cabonara pasta was horrible. Simply horrible. Inedible even. The chicken burger had a single dried out chicken tender on it. Honestly everything was dry and tasteless. Super disappointed with the food here. The staff were nice and the wait time wasn’t too bad.

    we went for dinner at this place last friday, starting with a very arrogant staff, including the manager, what was very rude and very sarcastic. That was the first and last time we will visit this place, what is a complete shame as the place look very cool. food arrived cold, and we believe that was in purpouse as me and the manager have some agreement, what he was only smiling, with that kind of smile.

    Had dinner with a group of friends on Saturday and every single one of us had meal complaints, which never happens. We often do dinners together and this is the first time we have had poor food across the board. I’m not sure what went wrong in the kitchen, but I’m assuming they were pressed and understaffed as there were 45+ min wait times, even for a simple brownie!

  • 4/5 Judith F. 7 months ago on Google
    Lunch with friends on a beautiful Saturday afternoon was perfect. Food orders were taken quickly, then on to getting drinks, which was with the attentive and polite bar person. The food was delicious (I had the Pumpkin Salad, which was delicious). However, I would prefer less red onion. Price was $22 and the portion size hard to finish, but I certainly managed it. We had a slight problem with seniors prices, but that was quickly sorted out for one of our group. The calamari and chips was enjoyed, as was the fish + chips as well as the green vegetarian curry, which was presentation perfect! Thanks Burleigh Town Hotel we all enjoyed our afternoon.

    We were lucky enough to have lunch at Burleigh Town Hotel on Saturday, loved sitting out in the beer garden on a beautiful sunny day. Lots of options on the menu, highly recommended, great food, ambiance and service. Sports bar also looks great, would have been great to watch a Matildas game there!

  • 4/5 Spooka F. 9 months ago on Google
    Awesome spot to have a few beverages with friends and family, it's a pet-friendly pub but in a designated spot only. The service was really good and fast, awesome sports bar and gaming room. Also, has a kid's playground. Regarding the review of the food, I ordered the steak sandwich and at first, looked perfectly cooked and looked delicious but when taking my first bite it wasn't too pleasant as it was full of gristle and couldn't bite through it and it wasn't on a small part of the steak it was the whole thing so I ended up not eating the steak so a separate rating for the steak sandwich I give it 1/10. The other meals got a good rating from the others so at least that was good. Regards, Spooka the Food Critic 🤘

    First time I've been back since the renovations. Went to see Joe Camilleri and The Black sorrows, what a great venue to see bands, sound was awesome and the band was amazing. Would highly recommend to go and see live music here. The only issue I had was the wait time to go and get a drink. Look forward to going there and enjoying a meal. Well done Burleigh town Tavern, sorry it will always be Burleigh town Tavern 🤣🤣

    Went in to check out the renos and have lunch. Food was delicious! The whole place is just beautiful! Was so impressed with the sports bar, easily one of the best and biggest I’ve ever seen! Massive screens for both punters and sports fan plus two beautiful pool tables! The staff I spoke to were so lovely too! I’m so impressed will 100% be back!!

    This is a great venue. Good for families with children. Wide open place while eating.. service was awesome.. though slow because of the amount of people there.. food was well worth waiting for.. loved my steak sandwich.. I recommend this venue for their food and for the friendly staff..

  • 5/5 Rita H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent venue and staff. Magnificent beer garden mostly undercover. Very good menu with kids and senior meals. Super large sports bar and screens. They have done a great renovation, we will be going back regularly. Great for celebrations and plenty of parking.

    Hi fellow locals I want to share with you my experience at the tavern this evening ! We were welcomed by Dave ! This gentleman made our evening !! The food by the way was really really good !! But somehow I find you can go to a restaurant or surf club or bar and the food to be fine but if the service is bad it can leave a bad taste in your mouth !! Well I have to say that Dave is truely a find for any restaurant !! He was great friendly! Polite ! Attentive ! Informative ! And entertaining ! *****

    Food was delish. The hospitality service was phenomenal. The older man out front was very welcoming and kind and made our night. Good for kids. Well looked after as costumers. Will definitely be back.

    Great place for a delicious meal and the kids have an amazing playground to keep them occupied. Meals are well priced and good portions. And of course they have a well stocked bar 😁🍻

    Maitre d' was very friendly and efficient. Excellent manner to all age groups. He made our dining most pleasurable. The food was tasty and nicely presented. The menu had a good selection of reasonably priced meals. Ample flat parking with easy access for older people and prams. Good children's play area.

  • 5/5 Mandah L. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here on a Thursday night and can’t speak more highly of our experience. We were greeted by Dave, who was so incredibly lovely and helpful. I have some dietary requirements that the kitchen happily accommodated. Our meals were served quickly and were delicious. Definitely recommend this lovely little local
