About Jimboomba House Restaurant

Tucked behind a tree-lined driveway, this converted historic Queenslander delivers relaxed dining with kangaroos grazing just beyond the veranda. Regulars head here for comforting, unpretentious classics—starting with a steaming, crusty cob loaf carved right at the table and smeared with garlic butter. Plates arrive generously heaped, from tender beef cheeks and crisp pork belly to veal scallopini in mushroom wine sauce. Even the kids' table gets real hand-crumbed chicken breast instead of frozen shortcuts. Settle into the candlelight and cap the evening with shards of caramelised toffee cracked over chilled crème brûlée.

  • Historic Homestead Setting: Housed in a converted historic Queenslander with verandas overlooking lawns where kangaroos gather at dusk.
  • Generous Comfort Classics: Bakes whole crusty cob loaves with butter and plates hearty braised beef cheeks, pork belly, and veal scallopini.
  • Intimate Occasions: Candlelit tables and relaxed pacing keep conversations unhurried for date nights and family celebrations.

    Candlelit tables and an unhurried, peaceful ambiance let couples converse comfortably without blaring music or noisy dining rooms.

  • Thoughtful Quality for Children

    Unlike standard dining options, children receive freshly prepared, real chicken breast nuggets cooked to perfection.

    The chicken nuggets and chips were made with real chicken breast, hand-crumbed and cooked to perfection. Such a refreshing change from the usual frozen options!

  • Scenic Wildlife and Homestead Grounds

    Diners relax on peaceful countryside grounds where wallabies and native wildlife graze quietly outside heritage verandas.

    Watching the wallabies play the antiques and history all around the house itself. The food is amazing and the service is second to none

  • Historic Homestead Atmosphere

    A converted heritage Queenslander complete with rustic antique decor and starry night skies provides a cozy country retreat.

    The old Jimboomba house in Hills College has past time atmosphere that can’t be beaten.

Customer-Favorite Mains & Starters

  • Steak

    Aimee Kerry

  • Beef Cheeks

    Mains were the beef cheek (melt in your mouth)

    Kristelle Douyere

  • Cob Loaf

    I then got another smack in the face when our loaf with garlic butter came out .. a round loaf fresh hot and with a plate of garlic butter cut the bread yourself and spread it on .. now I come from a family of bakers and chefs and I’m telling you now the loaf was cooked to perfection and both the wife and I said omg it’s worth coming just for that alone as it was just Devine .

  • Pork Belly

    She got the pork belly and I got the steak. The quality of the food was outstanding, but funnily enough the real stand out was the sauces. The apple sauce with the pork and the pepper sauce with the steak was to die for.

  • Creme Brulee

    I also had creme brullee for dessert and is probably one of the best ones I have had in a very long time. Perfect consistency and the toffee crust was spot on.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, access, and portion sizes for your visit to the historic homestead.

  • Book well in advance

    As a popular destination for celebratory gatherings and dinner dates, tables fill up quickly—reserve your table well in advance to secure your preferred dining time.

  • Note historic accessibility

    Because the venue is housed in an original historic Queenslander homestead, there is no dedicated pram ramp, so plan ahead if visiting with strollers or needing step-free access.

  • Pace generous portion sizes

    Freshly baked whole cob loaves and hearty mains come in very generous portions; consider sharing starters or asking staff for takeaway containers if you want to leave room for dessert.
