Warm chocolate brownie - DELICIOUS! So delicious that we ate the whole thing in less than a minute and we didn’t take to take a photo of the dessert 🤪 It was past 11pm and there weren’t many options available for desserts around the area. We decided to give the bar a shot and were very satisfied 😊

Great happy hour prices 3 - 6pm on drinks. Firm favourite in Surfers Paradise. Great sitting on the deck and watching the world go by. Order at the bar or on a QR code. We would love to be regulars! Taken one star off atmosphere because of the '70s music blaring away but some people may love it! Personal preference, of course. We will return!

We went for dinner and had a very pleasant experience. The food, while quite expensive, was very delicious and well portioned. The staff could not be more pleasant and accommodating; from bringing food at the right interval & with minimal wait, taking away plates, through to giving enough takeaway containers for what we could not finish. The family had a great time!

INTERESTING THAT THE OWNER DELETED THEIR RESPONSE. We were really looking forward to dining at Steampunk but unfortunately the food was a huge letdown. The chicken Caesar salad was genuinely gross!! The chicken was burnt to a crisp, all you could taste was charcoal. It was harder than the croutons and honestly tasted like it could have been out of date. I tried it twice hoping it might improve but the rest went completely untouched. The parmigiana was extremely bland. There was no flavour at all in the sauce just oil from the chicken. The only part of the dish with any flavour was the slaw. The pizzas were average, but service timing was frustrating. We specifically asked for the garlic pizza to come out with the mains, not as a starter. Despite this the garlic pizza came out as a starter. The spring rolls themselves had no flavour, the only taste came from the saltiness of the dipping sauce. On a positive note, the restaurant presents well and the staff were friendly, which made the experience more disappointing because the food simply didn’t match the venue or service. Felt like a typical tourist trap. The dining area floor was noticeably dirty, which was surprising given it was a Monday night at around 5pm. Overall, this was not a good dining experience and not somewhere I would return on the food quality.

The food was very good, truly delicious. The atmosphere and decoration are outstanding, with a strong Texan style that really adds to the experience. Overall, we really enjoyed the place. The main downside was that the dishes were served at different times. If you want to share a meal together, one person had to wait with their plate while the other was still waiting, which affected the experience. Another small detail that could be improved is that the drinks were served in plastic cups, which felt a bit ordinary compared to the overall quality of the restaurant. Despite these points, it’s a great place with excellent food and a fantastic atmosphere, and we would definitely come back.
