About Joan’s Kitchen

Tucked along Bailey Crescent in industrial Southport, Joan’s Kitchen serves nostalgic milk-bar feeds built for serious appetites. No trendy brioche buns or petite proportions here—just two-handed Aussie burgers layered with char-grilled beef, melted cheese, grilled onions, beetroot, and rich barbecue sauce. Early risers count on hefty bacon and egg sandwiches slapped between thick slices of chunky white bread, alongside golden hot chips and retro caramel thickshakes.

  • Traditional Aussie Burgers: Char-grilled beef patties stacked with beetroot, grilled onions, melted cheese, and barbecue sauce on classic toasted sandwich buns.
  • Chunky White Bread Sandwiches: Hearty morning feeds loaded with eggs, bacon, cheese, and barbecue sauce packed between thick chunky white slices.
  • Honest Milk-Bar Value: Generous takeaway portions paired with golden crunchy chips and classic caramel thickshakes at industrial-pocket prices.

  • Nostalgic 1980s Milk-Bar Experience

    Classic two-handed burgers with grilled onions, beetroot, and barbecue sauce capture authentic retro milk-bar style.

    Burgers are built on standard burger buns with classic char rather than sweet brioche buns.

  • Roast Pork Roll

    Also had a roast pork roll, wasn’t jam packed full of meat, but had a little bit of onion in it aswell which worked nicely. The gravy and whole flavour was delicious.

  • Hot Dogs

    If you like hot dogs I would say these are the best I've tried on the gold coast.
