    Great place to spend some time for an American diner experience. Love music over the weekend and lots of Harley-Davidson motorcycles to look at. Terrific pubs and many beers on tap! Cool outdoors beer garden.

    Aussie Family Owned and Run….. Rick’s Garage was bustling but coping well with the weekend crowd. Only a limited basic menu to keep the meals coming out quickly and hot, which it did. All Staff were very friendly. The chicken burger ordered was good quick food for this fantastically themed and furnished of Aussie 60-70’s Diner. Very stimulating visually and a museum in itself to view. Well worth a come eat and see but do not touch. Like the food menu, the cocktails were limited and the beers on tap were some nice local beers possibly to suit most. Variety of seating from padded to hard, we were manually seated at the door so unsure if you could select a preferred seating arrangement. It’s has wheelchair access, but will be limited to area you can access. Rick’s Garage has many different dining nooks and upper levels all which makes Rick’s Garage ..Diner is so iconic and memorable. I certainly will be back thanks for being an Aussie Owned Diner Rick!

    Great experience. Excellent, fast service and the food was wonderful. If you want a retro diner experience with great atmosphere including live entertainment (while we were there on a Sunday), this is the place to go.

    For my first ever visit it was amazing and I would definitely go back! As soon as I walked through the door there was a super friendly guy greeting people, he had good banter and pointed me in the right direction. The young waiter and the girl behind the bar were awesome. The atmosphere was awesome. The food was delicious and great portion size's. I would highly recommend going there and I will definitely be back

    Been to ricks multiple times now and each time has been as enjoyable as the last. First visited for the Thursday evening music then revisited as partner wanted to try the gigantic burger thing. He finished it all 👏🏻! The burger I had was the piggy one, pulled pork and was nice. We both needed a nap after and literally pulled up in a lay-by and slept for an hour on the way home. The design is what makes this place so special and unique, it’s worth a visit if only to see all the random interior and memorabilia. It’s truly an iconic place and adds something special to sleepy palmwoods. Only negative points are the ‘queue to order’ system, especially when it’s a busy evening. Sometimes you can be stood in the line for upwards of 15 minutes just waiting to place your food order. This is the only way to order food (drinks can be ordered separately at either of the bars). People were waiting so long - Thursday night - that they’d brought their drinks to stand and queue with and were turning it into more of a social area whilst waiting!

    Great Sunday afternoon tea. Pretty busy when we arrived so food was around 35 to 40mins, but really nice, well presented and good quality. Will be going again soon.

    Dropped in, and what a great place. Has an American diner vibe to it, with an Aussie flavour. Plenty of seating, inside, outside in the beer garden, upstairs taking in the views. Got a couple of kids meals and had a beer. Great friendly service, will definitely come back when we are on QLD.

    Food is always fantastic and you walk away completely satisfied. Service is quick and efficient. Staff are always friendly and happy to help you. Always our go to spot whilst on holidays.

    Seemed the kitchen was closing earlier than advertised, so possibly an idea to call ahead if you're coming in later. Staff seemed unsure of what was offered or where to get it. Ended up upstairs to have a drink with burgers, and they didn't have the ingredients to make some advertised cocktails. Ended up with a good, well made drink and a tasty burger. Burgers don't come with chips, so order them separately. Music didn't match the vibe/theme at all, but otherwise a reasonable experience, even if it wasn't everything I had been told when it was recommended.
