Settle into an industrial, warehouse-style grill room in Surfers Paradise built around sizzling open flames and generous sharing cuts. Regulars line up tables for massive one-kilogram T-bones and slow-cooked lamb shoulder banquets, where hearty plates land complete with roasted mushrooms, broccolini, and truffle mash rather than pricey add-on sides. The open kitchen keeps pace while front-of-house staff welcome families with ease—even steering youngsters into the kitchen to stretch their own pizza dough before the main event. It is a hearty stop right off the tram line, finishing on charred wagyu rump spooned with rich house jus.
- Large-Format Sharing Cuts: Oversized centerpiece steaks like the 1kg T-bone and multi-person lamb banquets anchor group meals.
- Inclusive Sides Built In: Steak mains arrive fully plated with sides like truffle mash, garlic butter mushrooms, and broccolini included.
- Casual Warehouse Setting: A relaxed industrial room steps from the Surfers Paradise tram, welcoming family dining and pizza-making for kids.

T-bone Steak
Star of this restaurant was the massive T-bone steak . Pricey but definitely a must try. The salad they serve together with that steak was a real delight as well.
Melvyn Lee Ribeye
We had a 400-gram Ribeye cooked medium rare. And wow, it was delicious.
Jason Grant Black Angus Eye Fillet
Hero of the night should be the eye fillet. Chef’s culinary skill deserved a thumb up to present a perfectly medium rare steak to us. The accompanied garlic butter roasted mushroom, broccolini and truffle mash were all perfect partners to match the dish.

Mark Jumbo King Prawns
The outstanding dish was the jumbo king prawns. The prawns were peeled with the size larger than my palm excluding the prawn head. The toasted baguette was soft and the garlics cream upgrade the whole dish to another level.
