I had heard about this place for years but finally decided to check it out as we were staying close in Runaway Bay. It is a great steakhouse and certainly caters to the family with a kids playroom inside the restaurant. They also very attentive and friendly with their service. Whilst they don't do out of this world steaks, they are good and tasty and reasonably price.

Approximate cost: $30

I'll get the one negative I have out of the way early - I live too far away to go here more often.

My first introduction to Cav's was when some friends drove me all the way from the northern suburbs of Brisbane to have dinner there. I thought it was a bit of a drive to have a steak. I was wrong.

The staff are very helpful, and could tell you the name of the cow if you asked (they have their own butcher shop). And the steak? Awesome. I can't remember when I have had better.

The last time I ate there my date and I rode all the way on her motorbike in the rain to get there. It was definitely worth it!

If you are ever in the area go there. You will not regret it!

My wife is very fussy about her steaks and must have the cooked to perfection. When we feel like a great steak meal we jump into the car and drive from Brisbane to Cav's. Pick your own steak. Relax in a Hacienda style restaurant and enjoy the great service. These guys have seen our two boys grow up from Kids Nuggets to full Eye Fillets..We are customers for 13+ years. Great food, Great atmosphere. Great Service!

Approximate cost: $29.00

Some of the best steak I've ever had, what a great place that has character. Great staff and some fun meal options you won't get anywhere else. Bacon sauce anyone?

Approximate cost: $35

I've been going here for years. In my view its the best steakhouse on the coast. As a family owned business which as been on the coast for many years as you arrive you are greeted by friendly staff and a view of the steaks on offer. They also have a really good wine selection to choice from as well.
They also cater for kids and have an area for them to play in.
Entrees start from around $7.50 for garlic bread but they also do platters for two from around $17. I always have the oysters.
You order by going up to the counter to choose your steak, whether that is T-bone to eye fillet to king rump, the choice is yours. You decide how you want it cooked and you can view all the steaks being cooked in the kitchen. You also have choice of sauces to add.
All meals come with an idaho potato topped with bacon sauce and their signature coleslaw, which is to die for. I usually have vegetables or a salad. there are plenty of side dishes to choose from like their famous rump sausages.
If steak isn't for you there's pasta, chicken and seafood dishes on offer too.
After that if you still have room they do lovely desserts and coffees.
Staff are very attentive and friendly. We have got to know quite a few of them over the years and they always make us and our guest welcome.
Although its not a cheap restaurant its a value for money restaurant and one I love to take visitors to Australia too so that they can gain an experience they may not get back home.
All the meats are of a high quality and they have a butchery attached to the restaurant where you can buy a wide range of meats from which you can purchase for your own bbq's etc.,
I love the plastic cows on display outside the restaurant which grabbed our attention when we first arrived on the coast all those years back. Their motto is Just Look For The COWS!!! Brilliant.

Approximate cost: $100 for 2
