Nice local pub with good daily specials. Can’t do much better than the Parmi and a Pot for $15. Good value, and it was pretty good 👍👍

The food was super delicious and the service is really good the staff member is so polite and happy to help Kimgim and Sophie Annie they give really good responses and enjoy the whole lunch.

Friendly welcome from the lady behind the bar, walked in to the sun drenched door on the corner main entrance. Spent a couple of hours there and thought I'd order lunch. Ordered crispy skin salmon medium rear more rear. Came back fully cooked, returned the meal and asked for medium rear or rear again, the salmon came back peeeerrrrfect. The staff are amazing and accommodating. Great place! 5 stars

The food was awesome. Asian pork belly burger was out of this world and HUUUUGE

Here for lunch another time and food was so delicious the staff is humbel and really happy to help i would recommend it my friends and they like it give it a try really amazing food and service thanks 👍

Excellent pub on the corner, super close to the water for a walk, Australian Fair is close by. The $15 pizza served every lunch is great value and very tasty. Front bar is a well equipped set up for a punt and sports to watch. Appears to have plenty of locals which gives a good feel. The staff were super friendly and service was quick. Well stocked bars with drinks to cater for all.

I guess the pub itself is standard fair. But what sets it apart are the super friendly staff :-) they were so, so nice … and genuinely so. So go there and have a beer and pub lunch.

Our family had dinner at the Cecil hotel, everything was excellent. If we lived in QLD we would become part of the furniture on the regular. Highly recommend.

Warm and inviting venue! Great place to watch the footy. Definitely recommend checking it out when you're down on the coast!

lunch today. ordered a parmy and a steak sandwich through me and you. The place had a few people In their 3 staff were On , Food came out pretty quickly , parmy looked good for $24 but I received the most smallest steak sandwich $26 I had ever seen , it was on 2 small slices of cibatta bread and didn't have all the advertised ingredients a few chips I asked for tomatoe sauce and paid an extra $2 , so for $28 I left hungry, customer service was zero didn't receive cutlery or even salt pepper no nothing. very disappointing 😞 .

Jackson, Shane and Michelle are an exceptional group of people. Amazing Customer service and communication. Always feel at home here every sunday after church with my friends !!!! Comfortable environment and the meal is good as always !!!!😊😊😊

Great food at reasonable prices. Good vibe with friendly service. We brought a table of 16, including children, and were well accommodated.

Had lunch at the Cecil today, a roast which was dismal. Potato and pumpkin look like yesterdays leftovers, peas shrivelled up. And very average pork. Pity because it’s a great place to eat but need to make more effort.

Excellent location. The G stops right out front, and the bus terminal is less than a minute's walk. Had a cold VB for $7.70 while waiting for the bus. I wouldn't mind trying a meal next time.

Just a basic pub with your normal pub meals but they do have a wood fired pizza oven.I decided on the pizza special for $15.The American Hot pizza arrived 15-20 minutes later which was good.The dough was about underdone but tasted ok with the salami and chillies.Not slot of toppings but for the price you can't complain.

Great place for a pint and a pizza. The crowd here is mostly older people though so be mindful of that. The average customer here is about 50 years old.

I asked the manager to make me a toasted sandwich and he came back with this! It was amazing.

A relaxing atmosphere. The food is the best! The cabonara is the best. Also the whole menu is fantastic.

We were looking for a venue to have some food Wednesday evening. Luckily we stumbled on Cecil Hotel. Great food and atmosphere. Staff were wonderful to two old farts who don't usually frequent the Coast. Thanks guys.

Consistently great service and great food. It’s a nice spot to sit and watch the world go by, or watch sport on the big screens. The staff definitely make this place, but the food definitely seals the deal.

Not a good place for mobility impaired folks. There is a sign above the steep stairs down to the toilets advising to ask staff about the disabled toilet. I asked 3 staff members about is and they just asked, "what disabled toilet?" Eventually I found the manager who advised it is out back by the loading dock, but it is locked and they don't have the key.

The Cecil is a awesome pub! Delicious food with a nice window spot to people watch, classic tunes and great customer service! What more could you want! (Special mention to Sa, she’s the best!!)

Absolutely amazing experience , customer service was unmatchable was greeted with smiles from both Manager’s Sa and Layla :) my food and my beverages were both served in quick time but also with awesome quality. Our family will definitely be back soon. 😁

Fantastic woodfired pizza and delicious rump steak cooked perfectly! Thank you for the warm welcome and great service/delightful staff, especially on a busy weekend. Will be returning next time!

Fantastic service by Sa, Jess and the rest of the team, beers ice cold and Parmi was absolutely top notch. Definitely the go to for a pub feed in the Gold Coast.

A rare find on the Gold Coast. Laidback friendly pub with great meals at good prices, loads of space to enjoy a cold drink and watch the game or find a comfy lounge and watch the world stroll by. Really enjoyed our relaxing hour or two and will definitely return.

Decent pub in the heart of Southport. No real complaints, my steak sandwich was tasty, service was friendly and fast.

Food was pretty good but highlight of the night was the service from the manager on. Think his name was Jimmy. Well done young man.

Excellent service by Gim, very accommodating and thoughtful. $15 lunch great value and good food. Highly recommend.

Jimmy was such a great bar tender, his customer service was outstanding, couldn’t think of a more friendlier professional staff member. Thankyou so much for your hospitality! This will be my new regular! Thankyou for such a great experience, I’ll be back :)

I was both surprised and impressed with the Cecil Hotel. While I am definitely not a Pub person, the meal that both "She Who Must Be Obeyed" and I recently had at the Cecil was well above average for a number of reasons. #1 The staff were welcoming, polite and service oriented. #2 Table service - by that I mean that the attentive staff actually come to your table and take your order (yes really). #3 Well presented, appealing and reasonably priced food. Served on decorative plates and delivered looking like some attention to detail had been taken to make it appear fairly appealing and presentable. While all the staff that we encountered in the Cecil Hotel were all polite, helpful and attentive. The standout staff member was our waitress Jacqueline. I had a quick word with Jacqueline on our departure, to let her know that I appreciated the pleasant and impressive service that she provided. However she also she deserves some public recognition that I hope this review will acknowledge. Well done Jacqueline, you impressed us both very much. For anyone reading this review it is important to note that the Cecil Hotel is a pub/sports bar. It is not a place to go if you seek ambience, or a quiet dining experience. While there were dedicated tables for dining, there was no real separation or partitions between the general bar area and the dining area. The music (relatively pub standard playlist stuff) my beloved partner "She Who Must Be Obeyed" felt was too loud, although I enjoyed it. The Sporting Broadcasts displayed on multiple screens set on the internal walls of the bar/dining area can be a bit distracting. But it is after all what you would expect to see in a sports focused pub. But please don't let the above detract from trying the Cecil Hotel out for a nice meal, great service and reasonably priced food. We had the $25 steak and garlic prawns which I would highly recommend.

Staff were lovely but the food was terrible :( kids bolognaise was inedible, kids pizza was meh, Diane sauce did not resemble a Diane sauce, steaks were overcooked, chicken Parma was pretty average. The steak sandwich was the only half decent meal of the lot. Very disappointing

Overweight Aussie 20yr old thinks she can speak any customer likes she wants... I'm a regular and was so disrespected towards me, other managers great. She doesn't deserve any pay

Layla is a fantastic barmaid, Gerrad is an bartender and Kathryn is so lovely. Their service is above and beyond. Cannot wait to come back and receive such awesome service. Thank you for making my night so entertaining.

Nice place to grab a pint and perhaps a bite. If you like food with some zest to it, then Gerrad makes a mean spicy pizza if you ask him nicely. Layla, the new manager makes pretty sweet cocktails too :)
