About Panama Jack's Steak & Rib House

Tuck into massive plates of chargrilled rib-eye, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and braised beef cheeks in Bracken Ridge. Locals head here for a dependable, generous feed without the app surcharges—you order straight at the counter and grab cold drinks from the bar. Diners can spread out across roomy tables or settle into the covered sub-tropical garden area, where seasoned waffle chips and beer-battered flathead round out an unfussy night out.

  • Counter Ordering Setup: Walk up to order hearty plates directly at the counter, with drinks handled at a separate bar station and zero table-app surcharges.
  • Covered Garden Dining: Dine inside or grab a table in the undercover, sub-tropical indoor-outdoor garden area.
  • Segregated Lounge Space: Gaming machines and adult lounge areas stay tucked into a self-contained wing out of view from the main dining room.
