    Ribs done

    Second time back! And still so good! The service is amazing at this place and staff are amazing at checking up on things. Best service our whole trip to surfers for sure! We came back after Christmas on the 27th of Dec 2020 and although packed they managed to squeeze us in to a table for 2. I ordered the ribs which I thought was half a rack ended up being a full rack with chips and slaw! Massive! Partner got a sea-schnitzel. It was a big serve although he only got 2 prawns which was probably not worth the extra $$ than a normal schnitzel. Overall great place and a reason it's number one on Yelp!

    The Avenue has alcoholic Ginger Beer and Espresso Martinis ON TAP. It's like they never want me to leave! Came here with family and cousin. Kids both ordered kids Cheeseburgers while adults had pasta and rump steak (on special for only $18!!). Food was delivered quickly and was generally excellent. The prawn linguini was delicious but the steaks were a little over-cooked (more medium than medium rare) but All in all, the staff were friendly and super helpful and the overall experience was excellent.

    The food was delicious, service was great, and we enjoyed the drinks! We had a wonderful meal and considered coming back multiple times in our 2 dat visit (and wish we had!)

    We found this restaurant from Yelp because it offered sweet potato chips, which was our criteria today . We ordered BBQ pork ribs with coleslaw. The sweet potato chips requires extra 2 dollars. It took about 20 minutes to wait for the dish, but it was worth it. The ribs were very tender and I liked the sauce very much. It was a very big portion and we shared one, which had made us full already!

    Hard Nite Burger

    On the menu, they have burgers, pizza, bbq skewers, and other large entrees. I ordered the Hard Nite burger, which came with beef, spinach, bacon, onions, and a hard boiled egg on top. It was quite a tall burger, especially with a whole egg on top. The beef patty was really thick and juicy. The burger is actually the best that I've had in Australia so far. The dish came with a side if sweet potato fries as well. The sweet potato fries were really good, cooked with fresh oil. I would definitely come here again. The restaurant is pretty spacious, good for large parties. They also have performances at The Avenue.

    We were visiting Gold Coast and found the Avenue #1 on Yelp. Food was very good, so was the service. Highly recommended

    Blonde on tap

    I was pleasantly surprised at how great this place is. The food was so delicious we had the pork belly burger, the king prawn fettuccine, and the The Bronx doubled up. We also got the blonde on tap and I have to say everything was excellent. The beer was so smooth and easy to drink. The pork belly so crispy and the slaw was flavored to match. The Bronx burger I loved the flavor of the beef and the pasta was really good with a kick of spice. Also the white chocolate marshmallow pizza oh it was so so good. I really liked the food here and the staff was so extremely nice. I'd come here again and again.

    Well I guess you wanted to see what the ribs looked like before I ate them... But I think this tells you what they tasted like

    The spaghetti was delicious but they could've given more cheese I added salt and it was much better.

While I'm not a vegetarian, as you'll see if you keep reading this review, I enjoy vegetarian dishes and felt this was a breath of fresh air compared to most vegetarian burgers are either mushroom or veggie. My partner got the Depot Burger which had so much on it he couldn't even finish. The next time we went with another couple, and I had the Coney Island hot dog. For whatever reason cheese sauce is hard to come by in Australia, so having this chili and cheese dog was great. The Brooklyn Depot definitely lived up to its "American street food" motto. On a side note, I ordered my French fries with a side of ranch, and the American server asked me where I was from. When I replied that I'm from Michigan, she said only people from the States order ranch with their fries, and we commiserated about our shared love of ranch. Haha. She also didn't charge me for the ranch. Love this place. The only somewhat negative thing I'll say is they don't take reservations, and we had to wait almost a half an hour to get seated. But the food is worth the wait. Wish they had more beers on tap but considering they just opened, hopefully maybe in the future that will change.

    Came here for 4th of July as we are Americans and wanted to celebrate at an American style diner…read more It was very easy making a reservation and finding parking nearby. Upon entry we checked in with the cashier and were seated at a reserved table. We both ordered burgers as well as cheese fries, a strawberry shake, and a dr pepper to drink. Now I was very much in between a 3-4 star review however because you can't do it in the middle I rounded up simply for their outstanding service and delicious burgers. They were the most "American-Tasting" burgers I have eaten since being in Australia. Fantastic quality and they even have a thousand-island type sauce!! However I was very disappointed with the milkshake and cheese fries. They took the term MILKshake literally and it simply tasted like strawberry milk. It was not thick like a regular ice cream based shake. I left nearly the entire thing on the table after having one taste. The fries were also a disappointment. Definitely don't expect them to taste like cheese fries back home. They simply had a cheesy sauce resembling nacho cheese instead of having melted cheese. However due to the fantastic service and incredible burgers I'm giving this place 4 stars. I will definitely be back for the burgers!

    We went there for dinner last night and it was pretty good. There were quite a few of us and a few…read morekids and they catered for us well. Between us we tried the southern fried chicken wings, the chilli, the choc malt shakes, the double beef burger, the burger special (spicy) and the Mac and cheese. The milk shake was awesome-great flavour. The Mac and cheese was delicious too-nice strong cheesy flavour. My husband loved his double burger but I found mine (the special) to have way too much mayo on it and it just overpowered the burger flavour and it fell apart in my hands. Finally the chicken was just a bit too bland for fried chicken. Plus fried chicken should probably be whole pieces of chicken, not wings (just my view on this though) The service was excellent and the tap beer was great too. Would go back for a standard burger and shake. Price was reasonable but I also have a little bit of an issue in paying nearly $15 for a burger and you still have to buy fries or something on the side. If I could, I would probably give Easy Street 3 1/2 stars but because I can't, I will round it up to 4 base on the great service.

We called ahead to book a table, though when we arrived we realised that it was more of a fast food establishment than a restaurant. The waitress was very friendly, she provided us with the menus and explained how we needed to go up to the counter to place the order. She recommended that we try the Pit Master Pack, since we had not eaten there before. This goes for $59.95, and the two cans of soft drink ended up costing a good $7. The Pit Master Pack consisted of ribs, quite a few buffalo wings, hand pulled pork, coleslaw and fries. It is a good serving for two people. I am not the biggest chicken wing fan, though enjoyed them, apart from there being a bit too much sauce. We chose the cheese covered fries, though they weren't that great, we probably should have gone with the plain fries. The food was nice, though far from mind blowing, which made the pricing hard to justify. We left a bit unsatisfied in terms of how full we were, and how much everything cost, even with the voucher. I personally wouldn't visit here again, it is not for me. I would only recommend this establishment to someone who was really into buffalo wings and ribs.

Seriously, the food here is not cheap. BUT - it is bloody good. When our order arrived my eyes drank in the beauty of my pulled beef roll, while hubby rubbed his hands with glee over his chilli hot dog and loaded fries. And the first bite made the pain of the cost fade away- amazing. Well worth it! In fact despite being hungry I I couldn't eat the whole thing as the servings are generous. When this joint first opened there were lines out the door and long waits, but we were one of only three diners at lunchtime today. The cute checked tablecloths and mustard with ketchup on the tables adds to the US of A atmosphere, the only downside to the location on a nice day is being serenaded by the traffic on the main road. Two thumbs up for the food. My wallet is still hurting but at least I'm so full I won't want dinner tonight.
