    The food was superb, as was the service. I so appreciate the accommodation for the extra time needed for the booking since we were so delayed by the big accident on the M1. We will be back again for sure, thank you Rick Shores team!

    The food was lovely, however our previous 4 visits were much better. We felt our waiter was up selling a tad too hard. A few of the dishes had changed , understandably, however a little disappointing at times.

    We chose the $85 set menu for our Christmas luncheon get together. Being able to sample so many of the amazing dishes was a great choice. Beautiful, fresh food and incredible flavours left us with a delightful lingering aftertaste. As a person with coeliac disease | was catered for, and there was no issue at all, which is wonderful. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive and warm and friendly. As for the ambience, overlooking beautiful Burleigh Heads beach is a spectacular backdrop for this lovely restaurant .

    We were fortunate enough to be seated at the front closest to the beach, we felt pretty lucky! Although, there are no bad seats here! Every mouthful of food was mind blowing - couldn’t tell you that one dish was better than another as they were all incredible. Our waitstaff knew their stuff & their food recommendations were spot on.. We will be back without a doubt.

    The food was the standout and we had a great waiter in the name of Jack. Noise level was rather high but probably due to the concrete floors, walls, etc. Amazing location right on Burleigh Beach. Food was wonderful, amazing flavours and plenty of it.

    We have always experienced consistently excellent food and service at Rick Shores. Last night we felt it was a little let down due to the service being pushy and rushed. Our waiter requested we order minutes after being seated and kept interrupting conversation to check if we were ready. After ordering returning saying we hadn't ordered enough. Pushing the banquet and wine topping up wine, even after us requesting 1 guest was driving and didn't want any more. We ordered the whole barramundi which was lovely but should have mentioned fried on menu. Other than that a lovely night.

    Incredible venue with amazing food and service! Celebrated our wedding anniversary with a set menu lunch sitting at a beachside table with uninterrupted views while still tucked away to feel just a little private. This was our first visit to Rick Shores and definitely not our last.

    We had the best girls lunch here a few weeks back. The food was so good (we opted for A La Carte and it was all wonderful , the fish curry and roti are a must), the service was outstanding (special mention to Lisa) and the location on the beach was fab. Definitely recommend and would come back in a heartbeat!!

    Food was excellent, it came out a couple of dishes at a time. Our plates were swapped over when they became dirty and the table was wiped down when it became too crumby. The service was impeccable.

    Our waiter changed 3 times during our lunch service. Service delivery of food was swift but disconnected from the wait person looking after our table. Food was just plonked down by someone from the kitchen I presume and the person left without any explanation or information about the dish. We ordered a significant number of small plates to share so weren’t quite sure which as which. The food was okay but nothing to rave about with little to no presentation. 2 spring rolls rolling around a plate! One meat skewer sitting on a large plate..no garnishes, nothing to enhance making it look appetising. It’s not a cheap meal out and I expected that but I also expected that the service, food and presentation to go with that price tag.
