This review is for Hot Rods Diner, Gatton QLD

verified email - 08 Oct 2014

This is a new 1950's Booth Diner & Soda Bar in Gatton.
Just like going back to the 50's with Rock 'n Roll music, a classic jukebox, pictures of everything to do with that era, including Elvis, Marilyn, Happy Days and on the tv was Grease.
Sit in a booth and have a shake and burger. I had a Cherry Ripe chocolate shake (real Cherry Ripe all through it)...beautiful! My husband had a burger and said it was so tasty and good value. It was totally done up like the old American diners. The staff are friendly. They said it gets busy on the weekends, but it wasn't during the week when we went. We had it all to ourselves. Recommend going for a step back in time and the experience of something quite unique in Australia.

Approximate cost: $Various

This review is for Pal's Fresh Seafood, Coomera QLD

Finally, fresh seafood on the northern end of the Gold Coast!
Easier than going to the trawlers near Seaworld or Charis for those that live north of Helensvale.
Excellent quality seafood from oysters to prawns, etc. You won't be disappointed with the quality and Pal is the friendly owner who will help you with your fresh seafood needs. Just newly opened.

This review is for Welcome Inn BYO Chinese Restaurant, Windaroo QLD

One of the best chinese restaurants in the Beenleigh area. Jimmy is a humble owner and very keen to please his customers, unfortunately some people can be impatient, which is unfair when a person is trying to do their best.
Excellent food, great customer service by the whole staff. They are very friendly and decent people. We left our debit card there by accident, and they kept it safe for us for when we returned looking for it. Given us a free bag of prawn chips on occasion too.
We have eaten at the restaurant many times and had take away; both experiences have always been excellent.
Reasonable prices. Quality all round.

This review is for Full On Takeaway, Mount Warren Park QLD

These guys do a unique variation of their now famous pizza. Meat pizzas are made with donor kebab meat which gives them the best flavour (delicious) and are so generous in toppings, even a hungry man can only eat 2 slices before he (almost) gives up. Three slices at the most. You will drool when you see their seafood pizza! The owners are very friendly and have often given us a discount for our loyalty. They also make traditional kebabs, again generous in size (and delicious), fish & chips, burgers; practically anything you would want from a hot food take away.
We travel about 20 minutes just to get pizzas and kebabs from Full On because their food is worth travelling for and they are the best in the Beenleigh area too. Don't waste time looking for a decent pizza elsewhere, go straight to them.

Janine from NQCelebrations married us at Port Douglas. We wanted a simple ceremony without family attending, being a second marriage for both of us, and right from the start Janine was a motherly figure who made sure every part of our wedding was perfect; from the vows, location, bouquet of flowers, she was always helpful and always approachable at any time, no question was too silly to ask her. As we are from the Gold Coast, we didn't know the Port Douglas area and she arranged for her friend to make up my bouquet, exactly to the cost and the colour of the flowers I wanted and brought it to me for the ceremony. After getting to know us, she made sure we were happy with the vows she had put together especially for us and put in a bit of comedy to ease our nerves on the day. As it was just the two of us, we didn't have any witnesses and she provided two witnesses for us. We couldn't have asked for much nicer people to do so and we had a ball!
Janine is professional, thorough and efficient when making sure we legally able to get married, checking proper spellings of names, and genuinely happy to make sure your big day is one to remember.
We chose a short and simple ceremony because we didn't want a lavish wedding, but Janine is well and truly able to provide any kind of ceremony, large or small. As small as our wedding was, we are so glad we chose Janine to marry us and feel like she's part of the family now. That's what you want for your big day!
We highly recommend her for your ceremony.
