Smokey Joe's Cafe Bar & Grill The Ramada

Ramada Hervey Bay Hotel & Resort

Reviewed By jajbo

I felt like something small for dinner so I have decided to get two entrees instead of the main meal. I have chosen the duck spring rolls and the lamb and halloumi sticksStuff was friendly but the place lucked an atmosphere and ambience. Food was, unfortunately, average it was bland and it didn't have much flavour. The lamb supposed to be marinated in herbs and spiced but I could taste only the basil paste its been served on... The duck spring rolls were oily and evet there was heaps was filling again the filling was bland and lacking flavour...

Waterfront Restaurant

Reviewed By dlftraveller

Good location but restaurant is attached to a reception centre, so has a weird feel to it. Food was OK but pretty average, as was the service. Much better places to go in Hervey Bay. Good place for a wedding reception but not so much lunch.

Everything about this place is good. We visited several times on a recent trip to Hervey Bay. It begins when you walk up the stairs and are greeted by the wonderful staff. We all ordered different meals and all meals were thoroughly enjoyed. The hollandaise sauce on the eggs benedict is delicious along with the smokey bacon. The seafood share platter was served with quality fresh local seafood. The beers are icy cold - we even had a rum milkshake. The views are a bonus. Great customer service and good quality food. Highly recommended. Hi Kate,Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review of our cafe. It is extremely rewarding to ourselves as owners and to our hard working staff to hear that the hard work that goes on to create such experience is appreciated by our customers. Our awesome chefs make their own hollandaise sauce fresh every morning, so you can truly taste the difference. We do pride ourselves on buying fresh quality ingredients which shows on the plate.Our wonderful front of house staff do an amazing job with the service that they provide to our customers which makes for a welcoming atmosphere.Put this together with our stunning view and you have a great experience.Thanks again and hope to see you again soon.CheersJody and JulieSalt Cafe

Always a special time at one of the best in Hervey Bay.The greeting is always prompt as is the service. Our meals as per usual were fabulous and cooked to perfection. Serving size certainly more than adequate and never left wanting. Variety is plentiful with the usual problem of “what will we have tonight “.A big thanks to a great Hervey Bay quality restaurant.Thank you kevind for such a terrific review.

The Dock Bar & Restaurant

Reviewed By ScottDanG

The Dock... I don't actually have the correct words to say how much of an incredible place this is. We often came here when we were only visiting the Bay and now we live here this is definitely our go-to place on a very regular basis. Firstly, the staff. We have never had a staff member who hasn't been anything but the utmost courteous and friendly person. The owners Mark & Lisa are the nicest people and definitely know how to make guests feel welcome, as do all of the friendly staff. A++++ for customer service, by far the best customer service in the Bay. The food is also always fresh, fast and delicious. Love the "Tapas" idea, so you can try an array of different things. Price is also very generous for the quality of the food you receive. Drinks are also very generous in pricing. Thanks again guys! We can never recommend you enough to whoever we speak to. Look forward to seeing you again very soon. ;-) xoxo

We loved the great customer service we experience from the staff here. The meals we ordered were huge and whilst a little pricey, it's too be expected considering their location. The meal served was a great bistro style with possibly the biggest piece of fish I have ever been served.

Reviewed By HonoraryAussies

Went on an excellent whale watching cruise and elected to add on lunch here for an extra $35. What a disappointment!!! We ordered fish and chips, the most expensive option at $26, drinks extra. Told our meals would be ready in 5-7 minutes. 20 minutes later, nothing. End up eating against the clock to catch the 2pm ferry, a barramundi that was over cooked and probably Dory. Ate better for $14 at a chippy the previous day! Would love to know why we paid $9 pp more than the menu price for a very substandard meal with desultory service.

Combine The Sand Bar's Bistro casual dining experience with its stunning bush location and you've got a recipe for success. The Sand Bar's spacious decks allow glimpses of the Great Sandy Strait and poolside dining offers a taste of the Aussie lifestyle.

We ate twice at the Sand Bar while staying at Kingfisher Bay and I hate to admit I had the Chicken Snitty both time, why mess with something when you love it ha ha. Its a pub with pool tables and air hockey tables and a pool as well. We enjoyed the change of pace from the Maheno Restaurant in the main resort.Thanks for posting Kim! We ll be sure to share your comments with the team. On behalf of us all, we hope to welcome you back again soon :-)

Great service and even better food. The whole family was warmly welcomed, even the kids. We were recommended the Moroccan spiced lamb and we were not disappointed. I can honestly say it was hands down the best meal I have ever eaten in a restaurant. I didn't think the crocodile entree could be beaten, but it was. The chefs Jason and Mark were awesome
