    Didn’t have a booking but wanted to grab dinner before seeing a Fleetwood Mac tribute band. Had no problems getting sitting for four of us at the front of the restaurant. Ordered 3 sides and a burger which took over an hour to come out - was very disappointed in the wait. Food came and the popcorn chicken was over cooked, but the sauce was a bit cold. Great venue with Heaps of cool seating options but if you’re looking for a light or normal feed - this is not the place for you.

    We have been coming here for several years now and look forward to coming here every couple of months for a great meal and night out. But since the old manager had left we have not been back and tonight was our first time back but it was just not the same. The mash balls were half the size they used to be and the pop corn chicken was very small and dry. The portion sizes were disappointing. We used to get the cheat player for 2 but couldn’t get that on the new menu. The burgers were great but they didn’t come out with the loaded chips like they normally do there was a bit of a wait on them. The service and friendliness of the staff was not the same as it used to be and I liked the table service and speaking to the staff and then paying at the end not off the QR codes. The atmosphere was just not the same as it used to be which is a shame because that’s why we kept coming back. Over all a very underwhelming night.

    Delicious food you can enjoy till your stomachs full and you'll still crave some more. Great options of burgers and sides. Highly recommended the loaded Fries (the gravy is the secret ingredient that makes it Yumm). The staff is super friendly and attentive. Always check for specials as they have some great seasonal specials. They also have some great happy hour deals from 4-6 pm everyday. I would recommend you make a reservation ahead of time as when we went it was quite busy and luckily got the last table.

    Milky Lane is always one of our favourite go-to spots. Super funky decor and the food is next level. Best burgers we’ve had 🍔 We can never finish, we are always so full… but we still manage to order dessert 🤪🍭 The cocktails are fabulous as well. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!

    My partner and I were very happy! The staff were amazing. The food was 10/10. Staff had a nasty customer and dealt with it so professionally. The restaurant was clean, seats comfortable and drinks were amazing. Wish they would open in Melbourne! But we will definitely be back when we visit. Thank you for a great service ☺️

    If you haven’t been here don’t walk, but run to this place!!! Food was super delicious. From the cocktails to the starters, Mains and Desert. We felt full after but not over bloated as food was filling but didn’t feel too heavy. Vibe was on point, loved the design, hip hop meets casual dining. Music was too good especially if you love modern and 2000 rnb and hip hop. Staff were super friendly and helpful especially our waitress Gio. She deserves a raise, she gave us perfect recommendations. We will definitely be back a 2nd, 3rd and as many times as we can before end of our holiday!!!

    Really cool place to stop and grab some fantastic burgers... Great service and friendly staff. Funky decor / bar. The chips are just ok and the thick shakes , while really creamy and thick could have had a bit more syrup / flavour... but if your after a top burger this place is worth a try....

    Ordered takeaway, got asked to stand at tables to wait. There was a sign asking us to please not sit. We waited a total of 37 minutes for food, and were not warned of long wait times prior to ordering (on a Monday). When my burger arrived, it had a small splodge of sauce and a small gathering of onion. The pickles were nowhere to be found. Perhaps this was the chefs revenge for me asking for the cheese to be removed? The sauce for our fries was also thrown into the container wide open, with very little care. While the overall experience was very disappointing, the tiny centre of my burger that housed what little toppings provided was quite delicious. The chips were delicious, and the two teenagers I was supervising said their burgers were tasty. Would highly not recommend for vegans (vegan patty unavailable and only substitute for vegetarians is cheese).

    We went here for dinner when we were on holidays. This place is really good value for money. My husband and I were so full from our meal, we ouldnt finish it all. The burger we had was absolutely delicious, full of flavour, and not dry at all. The loaded fries we had as a suggestion from the waitress and we were so glad we did, the toppings went right through the dries and didn't just stick to the top layer like most loaded fries! And the cocktails 😋🤤 were so good, the huge share cocktail was such great value at only $60 Hubby had 4 glasses and I had 2, and there was still about 1/3 leftover that we couldn't finish. It's a very relaxed and layed back restaurant with friendly, attentive and helpful staff, we would happily go back again.

    Always wanted to go just never had to opportunity. Was delicious burgers everyone really enjoyed them good size staff were great. Would love to go back when able to drink and try all there cocktails. Will say burgers are pricey considering you dont even get a handful of chips with your burger

    such an aesthetic restaurant, really cool interior design and graffiti on the walls, honestly was so disappointed there were no tables available inside but that's okay. tables were a little sticky as well. food was pretty good, I really enjoyed everything we had. we ordered the three sliders and the sides tasters and both were really nice to have a try of everything (was $56 for the two, and three shared). would definitely recommend a visit but book a table in advance so you can appreciate the interior !

    We ended up here after our dinner booking didn’t go to plan. The staff were amazing and friendly. The drinks are so much fun and the food was good, I love the RNB vibe. So much fun and the kids loved it.

    I have kept up with the instagram page of Milky Lane so i knew what i was in for when coming in to eat with my partner. We both ordered cocktails and dinner for the night. Our server was absolutely lovely and gave us the run down about prices and if we would like to order from our phone by scanning a QR code or just going to the counter to order. I will say there was a few cocktails my partner did order and they didn’t have them available so he had to pick another but I’m sure that doesn’t happen often. I ordered a serving of loaded fries and a serving of the loaded popcorn chicken and my partner got a huge burger!! i had a bite and gosh it was lovely! it was a dear dinner for two people but i knew i wanted to come to Milky Lane to eat so i saved some extra money to go there. They play music over the speaker while you eat, the atmosphere is really fun and chill! I cant recommend this place enough! It wasn’t too busy either so we didn’t feel the need to book, we just went and waited to be served and took less than two seconds to be seen. I can see it being busier in the warmer months but going in the winter it wasn’t as busy i found. I seriously loved the food! I really recommend the loaded popcorn chicken!!

    Nice busy place. Burgers were fantastic. Kids nuggets and chips were a let down though. Definitely will return when in Gold Coast again.

  • 4/5 Carolyn M. 4 months ago on Google
    The service was good. The fast delivery of food was great, makes sure the kids are not left waiting. The food and drinks were exceptional. Only dislike was the seats were damp.

    Currently on vacation with my partner from Melbourne and was told to visit MilkyLane before we leave… I could not recommend this restaurant more!! - fantastic table service - fantastic food - fantastic drinks Would love to see a MilkyLane open up in Melbourne! The food is absolutely to die for

  • 5/5 Ngaire R. 1 year ago on Google
    The best loaded fries I have ever had. Crispy fried with bacon and cheese. So good. They even make Mocktailes for those of us that don't drink. Absolutely delicious drinks and burgers. Great music as well.

  • 5/5 Allen J. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is consistently good irrespective of locations but wanted to comment on how great the service is at Surfers. Prompt, efficient and professional. Despite no booking, they were happy to accommodate. Well done team!

  • 5/5 Dame W. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place! Stumbled across Milky Lane whilst searching for a restaurant for my birthday dinner, while on holidays and decided to book here because of all the great reviews and it did not dissapoint! Fantastic food, cannot fault it & the cocktails and shots were delicious, particularly the Nerd Shot. Service was fantastic, we were made to feel very welcome, well looked after and the food was delivered very quickly. The $95 platter special is great for families, so much food, you will have trouble finishing it all and honestly the best dessert I have ever had. We got the Caramilk & Biscoffe Cookie Dough Skillet. Wow! Would 100% recommend!

  • 5/5 Tim S. 10 months ago on Google
    Genuinely one of the best burgers I've ever tried. The chic-kanye burger has the best chicken I've had in a burger before. Succulent, fresh tasting chicken which is full of flavour. Only slightly too much sauce dripping out the side but definitely worth the bite. The sweet potato is on the heavier salted side but really brings out different flavours paired with the burger. The service was pretty good, very attentive but did feel a little forced positive. The only unfortunate situation was dining by myself as I was situated in the back corner of the restaurant really taking away from the vibe.

    A Night at the Hip Hop Haven: Milky Lane on Cavill Ave, Surfers Paradise Tucked away in bustling streets of Surfers Paradise, the Milky Lane burger restaurant on Cavill Avenue presents an unforgettable spectacle. It’s not just another burger joint—it's an experience that aims to enmesh the art of food with the spirit of street culture, the walls adorned with expressive murals of revered rappers that infuse the space with an irrepressible energy. This hive of vibrant personas embraces a bohemian charisma that dares to be different. It attracts a coterie of quirky and dynamic patrons who only add to the ambiance, making it a prime destination for those seeking more than just a meal. Upon arrival, I found myself caught in the throes of a bustling Friday night, my lack of reservation serving as a lesson to future visitors. Although seated outside due to the dinner rush, the vibe of the street comfortably dovetailed with the restaurant's theme. Venturing into the menu for the first time, I opted for the tried-and-true Milky Lane classic cheeseburger, a double-smashed delight. Simplicity often serves as a litmus test for a place’s commitment to culinary finesse. However, here I encountered a glaring culinary misstep that couldn't be ignored: the presence of tomato sauce. This condiment, in my book, is a definite no-go for a smashburger. A cardinal rule overlooked. In terms of its composition, the burger’s freshness was commendable but let down by the seemingly gratuitous construction. An apparent attempt at aesthetic enhancement, the towering structure felt more like a gimmick than an essential enhancement, diluting the authenticity of the experience. Culinary assessment? A rather underwhelming 4/10. Its aesthetic appeal was not enough to justify the cost nor the sensation of each bite, where even a fast-food equivalent like a McDonald's hamburger would have filled the void equally. So, where does this leave Milky Lane on Cavill Avenue? Well, despite my lukewarm burger experience, the pulsating ambiance left a significant impression. The place thrives on its street art ethos, a swaggering personality, and a lively crowd. The verdict is that I may return for a second round, not lured by the prospect of a standout burger but to immerse in the electrifying atmosphere. So, while the burger game might not be their strongest suit, Milky Lane unquestionably reigns supreme in terms of ambiance, a testament to its unique blend of dining and urban culture.

    Fabulous food, however our mash potato balls were a little bit on the over done side, so was the cheese and bacon croquettes however still edible. Drinks took a while to arrive maybe 15/20 minutes had to ask again but they then came immediately after asking. The vibe in here is really cool! Do try the Reece’s peanut butter cocktail! It was the best cocktail I’ve ever had! Bookings are a must the que was 5/6 people deep when we arrived it gets extremely busy!

    Great burger joint, music might not be kid friendly at times but awesome vibes and great service. Fresh tasting ice cream. Didn't try any cocktails but they looked mint. Brisket actually tastes like a smoked Brisket. Most places say Brisket but tastes like a roast beef, huge difference. Great place great food.

  • 5/5 Vicki l. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing. It was busy so make sure you book. The staff were great they made sure they explained the menu and how things would come out and where we could find different items. They also shouted my friend a shot with sparklers in it for her birthday. The food took a little while but it was really busy. It was delicious so tasty everything came out hot and fresh the portion sizes were incredibly generous I have been waiting to try this place for the longest time and it exceeded my expectations. (That does not happen often) The drinks...OMG the drinks.. they were delicious the shared watermelon sangria so freaking good. Now $65 might seem like a lot but we got 10 decent drinks out of that and it was delicious the shots were amazing. The only tiny issue I have and it's small... is the coconut aoli it kind of tastes like someone put a little vinegar in my sunscreen I wish there was an option for burger sauce or lemon or lime with chilli aoli everything was fantastic thanks so much for helping make my friends birthday extra special. Also I'll just add the cost of the food is not expensive it is really well priced and u definitely feel like you get value for your money. We will be back and hope you open a restaurant on the north side soon.

  • 5/5 Alastair D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great burgers, amazing desserts, the music’s not too bad either - good work by the live dj! The best deal they are doing at the moment is 2 burgers, 3 sides, a thick shake, dessert and bottomless soft drink for $80. It’s a lot of food for the money!

  • 5/5 Renee B. 1 year ago on Google

    Lovely Lovely staff! Taylor (a very friendly service staff) had made the taking of our orders a very relaxed one as she had explained and relayed all the needed information with regards to our orders! Great tasting burger! A really tasty one as you can feel bits and pieces of ingredients on the burger, I love the feel of chopped onions on my burger patty!

    First visit and pretty happy with our experience. Food was good and staff were friendly. Cool venue too. Will go back to try some of the other menu and their desserts soon.
