BANKSIA SEAFOOD AND GRILL REVIEWS

Arrived without a booking and was able to be seated immediately. Food was fabulous. Seafood was fresh and tasty. Staff are very courteous and friendly. Enjoyed it that much we went back the next night. Special thanks to Brie (like the cheese) for the effort in making my second date with my work colleague so romantic. Your personality and banter makes the dining experience all that much better. Sincerely Henry Rollins.

My family and I are visiting from Tasmania and attended this restaurant on the 07/08/24. This restaurant is lovely and the food was delicious. Our waitress Bri was really friendly and helpful. I wish more restaurants in Queensland had staff just as nice.

Had my mother-in-laws 60th birthday dinner here. it was a nice place. The clientel are rich boggan types. but what do you want from a beach town. The food was amazing but on the expensive side. Drinks were amazing, and the service was excellent. Great location and plenty of parking. we had a great meal and a great time. definetly do it again.

CRAIGNISH FISH MARKET & TAKEAWAY REVIEWS

Best fish and chips I have had in as long as I can remember! Battered sweetlip was delicious. Crumbed calamari was crunchy and tender paired with perfectly salted chips. Tartare sauce could be better but did not detract from a great meal. Will be back.

Great little fish and chip shop. I got my lunch from here two days running, which says something.

Had fish and chips (red empiour) was yummy, cooked just right. I wish the salt was a little more on the chips though. Friendly service. They are always busy so shows how good they are.

SKIPPERS CATCH REVIEWS

Excellent food, fantastic service and very reasonable prices, staff very friendly and helpfull, not rushing you to make your choice, quality of the food was very good especially the fish roll and wedgers & gravy,

Skippers team are always friendly and happy. Food is great too, fish is amazing and perfectly cooked.
