Nice little catch up with friends place.
Late night or pre dinner.
We have been here a few times and the food has always been lovely,seafood,snacks. Music on some nights
The view of the ocean across the rd on hot nights when the concertina windows are open is divine. It is upstairs entry thu the mall,stairs or lift. Can get cramped on busy nights or when an event is on but otherwise cosy. Clean and staff are friendly.
Car parking is underneath in coles carpark about 3 min walk. Lots to do along the strip
Cocktails and drinks galore

Approximate cost: $20

The food from this place is superb.so heres a decent uldated review.
Partner and I came here on a friday night for dinner and we will keep going back now.
He ordered his steak with seafood topping and I ordered the parmy with pineapple topping. I admit i pinched one of his creamy prawns and if he had t of been looking I would have pinched the lot they were that good!
Serves were large and looked scrumptious
Fresh,tasty ,parmy was cooked to perfection,juicy,crispy crumb.prices were reasonable. His steak was perfect and he was fully satisfied as was I.
Salad and chips were perfect.
Place is clean and nice. Lighting is a bit dull I thought tho.
Outside seating on the deck,separate bar next door.
Walk to the beach.
Car parking is good right outside but can get packed on busy nights.
Door greeters are friendly and a wholesome family atomoshere.
Pick a table view the menu and go up and order
Food wasnt long about 15 min . Drinks at the bar were nice and cold . Cant fault the place Prices are affordable and decent for the amount of food. Kiddies menus also available

Approximate cost: $29

This place is really kebab heaven!
The man serving was lovely,friendly and helpful.
We ordered 2 kebabs drinks and chips,i had the 2 potato scallops waiting for me and calling my name that had just been cooked and in the bain marie lol
The kebabs are full,of meat and salad. Nothing is skimpy and the sauces you can actually taste and not watered down and no taste like on most.
Mine was creamy garlic and yoghurt ,partner had chilli. Drinks were cold ,chips were not greasy,tasty and thick. Store is clean and new.
We sat on some chairs outside with the table.
Parking is aplenty just outside in the centre carpark.
We took our time to,savour the taste of these kebabs. They also,have salads,specials,fish and chips which we will tey next time.
They open at 9:30 am and open till late 6:30 or later on thurs nights. Its now our go to kebab place . When in the area . Kebabs start at around $6:90 to $8 . I love mine with tabouli,pineapple and cheese and he heated it just to perfection.

Approximate cost: $8

Came here for a xmas work get together.
Place is nice and clean and we got a table for 7 by the window overlooking the water and pool,stunning view.
We fumbled a bit not knowing if we sit and order or order first .figured it out.
Place was a bit dark for lunch time,not yet packed. Aircons looked to be on but we were all still sweating it out so comfort during lunch wasnt pleasing.
Friend and I chose the $29 seafood basket ,sounded appetising on the board of daily specials. Lots to choose from tho.
Took almost half an hour to get our food. Others at the table got their thai salad and burgers way before us.
Drinks we got from the bar ,cold and enticing to sweat it out with lack of aircon on a very hot day.
Finally got our plate of seafood tho,we did expect a basket.
Small pieces of fish were nicely done and cooked well. Chips were delish but the other things on our plate we both felt the same about. The calamari was like chewing rubber bands,so we left the rest of that,some weird purple skin stuff in batter that was also too chewy to palate. Small full octopus in batter deep fried ,just tasted like batter and oil and nothing else,prawns were small and tasteless, didnt taste fresh.
Very disappointed in our food. We did tell the waitress and she gave us a voucher for a free coffee or drink on our next visit which was pointless as we arent close to use it
Staff were lovely tho. Since upgrades I would have thought the aircon would at least worked. Place started getting crowded as we were leaving 2 hours later.
Its a great place for views and maybe we got an off day. Wont be going back in a hurry. Parking isnt great and might have to walk a fair way to find a space. The 2 points are for the great view and the lovely apologetic waitress

This review is for De Lish Fish, Kings Beach QLD

Giving it one is generous
Place has really gone down hill since we visited last. Been three times since last review
Well,not so good tonight.
The first time we came here was lovely,2nd time ok third time tonight sorry we did.
Ordered a delish pack I think it was,2 fish,supposedly fish of the day perch,chips,sea scallops,prawn cutlets,calamari,thai fish cakes.
Honestly everything tasted the same,oily and batter or crumb. We also bought potato scallops and bundaberg drinks
Tearing the potato scallop,with half the side of batter on it produced oil.
Thai fish cakes were like rubber,warm,spicy and out of a box from frozen.!
The chips were only warm as if they had cooked them first and left them.
Everything is out of frozen boxes,nothing tastes or looks fresh.
Place is clean and is right on the beach, 2 good points.
But overpriced. A large box of chips thats the same amount for $7/8 anywhere else is $15 here. Making up for the tourist trade.
Seats outside,but we went up the rd a few minutes to eat as it was raining.
The drinks were only just cool as well.
Service is so slow,2 people in front of us,4 behind us and it took 20 min and 2 people behind us got their big orders first.. ice cream is also available.
Id like to see the place up there game with fresh tasty seafood not frozen boxed stuff and changing the cooking oil would help too. Totally wasted $35+ tonight. Sorry wont be going back unless someone tells us they are producing fresh seafood,parking isnt large so its get it if you can

This place is really nice and lots of chicken burgers,pies,gluten free pies,drinks coffee.
Tables and chairs inside and out,walk to the beach or sit and relax.
Small shop front but a big kitchen. Desserts look so nice,mini eclairs,caramel tarts.
Drinks fridge. Staff are aussie and nice. Burgers are made to order,grain or white rolls. We had chicken burger meals with drink and chips for $11:95 . Beautifully cooked chicken fresh lettuce and tomato. I had traditional,partner had spicy.
We also tried the cheese n bacon and mushroom pies last week, they are chunky and flaky and the cheese is melted thru and stringy and gorgeous. So impressed. Shop,is clean and parking is minimal out front but you can usually find parking out the back of the complex. Will be back, pies start from $5

This review is for Yiro yiro, Caloundra QLD

This place is new to the caloundra cbd. Bright,open,clean,black and white decor. Seats and bench to eat at looking towards the street.
Drinks,normal and quite a few different ones.
We ordered pork belly yiros and small chips.
The yiros are perfect and delicious. The meat is packed full with fresh tomato ,lettuce and yiros sauce,onion and chips in a lovely soft thicker wrap that doesnt fall apart when unwrapped to eat. Very filling. The chips,were perfect,not oily,nicely salted and crisp and fluffy on the insides.
They also,have chicken,family plates,burgers and yes vegetarian meals . Snack meals,sides and nutella yiro bites omg.
Parking on the street is hard to come by but apparently there is parking down the back.
I want to try the haloumi chips next time.
Try something different from the norm on the sunshine coast. Well worth it. Service was great too. Everythings made while you wait. Yiro reg was $14 chips small were $5

Fell down a notch saturday arvo,come here whenever we are down from sunny coast.
Ordered cod ,potatoo scallops and calamari
Fish was greasy and batter stuck to paper,usually perfect,we only walked across the rd to eat.
Calamari we tend to think was sting ray flaps as calalmari isnt that thick. Will keep going back tho because 9/10 its great

We wandered in again after dinner last Saturday night.
I devoured banana creme,orange which tasted like drinking orange juice was so nice,lemon.
Partner had nonnas cake,tim tam
The flavours are just divine. All the flavours we have tasted have just been spot on.
No more praise I can offer . Do yourself a flavour and venture in
