Reviewed By Leanne C - Sydney, Australia
We spent a number of occasions at Noodies. We went for drinks and enjoyed their well priced vodka towers, we went for lunch and dinner on separate occasions and enjoyed the delicious Mexican food. Although the food and drinks are fabulous, the service is also to be commented on. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly every time you walk in the door. We were lucky enough to book in our favourite table every time we went to visit. I would highly recommend visiting Noodies whenever you visit Maggie Island.

I ordered a green thai curry and it was one of the best that I ever have. It is the only vegan option and totally worth. The place is pretty beautiful, the price was fair and the meal well served.
3. Boardwalk Restaurant and Bar

The Boardwalk Restaurant & Bar has a great variety for all occasions.From Lunch on the deck over looking the marina,too fine dining at dinner.Executive Chef Rodney Smith has combined fresh ingredients and local produce in his menus that will tantalize your taste buds. Now we have gone back to what we do best and wow our guests with the flavour combinations that we are renown for. A warm breeze swirls over the marina boardwalk and the lights of the resort glitter in the water, while above your table the clear night skies over the island sparkle. This unbelievably romantic setting can be enjoyed from all areas of the restaurant and bar as doors are folded back into an al-fresco experience. On your plate, you have the choice of seafood straight from the reef and other tropical delights, accompanied by beautiful fine wines and fresh cocktails. This is island style dining at its finest and an authentic celebration of tropical produce.

I went to Boardwalk because I wanted a special experience. The atmosphere by the water is just fantastic. Service was excellent - waiter was helpful and attentive. Food was beautifully presented.
However, the quality was most disappointing. We both had the special of the day, a seafood tower, which most other diners appeared to be ordering. Given the quality of seafood in this part of the world, I was disappointed that the food was no better than you would receive in a much cheaper restaurant - nice, but quite ordinary. (except for the scallops). Most of the top of the 3-tiered "tower" was fish-and-chip shop fare! Maybe the specials are not the thing to order?
So ... go for the environment and service - it's tremendous.

Loved it from the moment we walked in. Awesome atmosphere, vibe and music. Feels like you're at a party in someone's backyard. Food is great and the possums come to visit, they are so cute! Definately recommend coming here if you are staying on the island and looking for something relaxed. Also you can byo alcohol.
5. Stage Door Theatre Restuarant

Reviewed By Chris W
Heard great things about the show, but it was terribly average. Singing off key and partial choreography are what I remember most.
We went for the Time Warp expecting something more Rocky Horror Picture show then what was presented..a mismatch of random songs with limited linkage to Rocky Horror.
The theatre is an old open air restaurant with inadequate fans. It was excruciatingly hot with no respite. Half our party left at intermission.
The finale was a preview of their next show which they let the audience know was a revival of a previous show. This number was their best.
I wonder why they just didn't go with that show? Perhaps my Rocky Horror expectations were just too high...
Oh, the intoxicated friend of the cast in the audience...yelling out was annoying as well.

Great to check out the local markets across the road the sit down to enjoy lunch but most tables were reserved. Very busy so I will forgive the Marlin Pizza being very sparse with the toppings. It was however a nice pizza but I couldn't wait to get outside to the wonderful breeze.
7. Sandi's on Magnetic Island
Overall Ratings

A casual beachfront restaurant and bar specialising in local seafood, premium steaks and so much more. A selection of German specials included on our menu, inspired by the native origin of our award winning chef. Draught beer and cider on tap as well as a great selection of bottled beer, cider and wine. A great cocktail menu and coffee's served all day. The perfect place to enjoy an amazing meal, cold beer or a cocktail at sunset. The best waterfront location on beautiful Magnetic Island.

We are an Alfresco, Take away with BYO. We have stunning views of the sea with Townsville on the far horizon. We have often been visited by Koalas, curlews and other wild life. Please come and try it for yourself.
Reviewed By Ron W - Brisbane, Australia
We were lucky enough to eat at this hotel during, what one might call, the off-peak time. Food and service were good and prices reasonable. It would be an ideal location over the weekend or holiday periods to settle down and watch the world go by during peak vacation seasons. The aquarium within the restaurant is both amazing and large and provides a beautiful backdrop to your dining experience.
