About Aunty Alice's Café

Steps from the Russell Island ferry, Aunty Alice’s delivers massive home-style burgers, iced drinks, and relaxed Moreton Bay views. Regulars know to come hungry. Alice’s Aussie Burger arrives towering and loaded with bacon, egg, pineapple, and grated beetroot over a thick scratch patty alongside crinkle-cut chips. The casual breezy deck serves cold beer, battered fish, and piled seafood baskets with scallops and calamari while live music drifts across the water on Sunday afternoons.

  • Towering Aussie Burgers: Giant home-style patties built high with egg, bacon, pineapple, grated beetroot, and crinkle-cut chips.
  • Ferry-Side Bay Breezes: Positioned just up the hill from the ferry wharf, offering relaxed outdoor seating and open bay views.

Before you head over

Practical advice for visiting Russell Island's waterfront cafe

  • Arrive Hungry for Oversized Portions

    Take advantage of the fully licensed bar and check for weekend afternoon entertainment, where live music often runs alongside bay views.
