About Shelley Inn

Set in a classic timber Queenslander overlooking Cabbage Tree Creek, Shelley Inn dishes out fresh seafood with nostalgic waterside charm. Locals regularly pick up hot parcels of fried cod, crunchy chips, and tender calamari rings to carry straight across to the park benches under the Moreton Bay fig trees. Inside, vintage local photographs and an antique pianola keep the old-school coastal feel going while cooks fry up generous group packs, potato scallops, and fried squid for picnics along the water.

  • Historic Queenslander Setting: Housed in an old timber Queenslander filled with historic local photos, featuring a vintage pianola and creek views.
  • Catering-Ready Family Packs: Pre-ordered seafood bundles and family packs tailored for waterfront picnics and group gatherings.
  • Classic Waterfront Fish & Chips: Crisp fried cod, calamari, potato scallops, and generous chip servings packed hot for takeaway.

    A prime waterside setup allows groups to enjoy relaxed takeaway celebrations and birthday picnics right across by the creek.

  • Historic Queenslander Charm and Pianola

    Set inside a charming historic Queenslander adorned with local heritage photos and an operational pianola.

    Steven took the time to talk to the group and share some of the history of Shelly Inn and even played a game and the pianola.

  • Picturesque Seaside and Creek Views

    Diners enjoy meals with views across Cabbage Tree Creek, Baxters' Jetty, and out under spreading Moreton Bay fig trees.

    Add this to the view and it’s a wonderful place to enjoy a meal whilst the sun sets.

  • Calamari

    The calamari rings are a standout—crispy, tender, and bursting with freshness, a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to high-quality seafood.

  • Cod and Chips

    We usually have the cod with chips and salad. The chips are crispy, the salad is freshly made and the fish is of excellent quality.

  • Fish Burger Deal

    Fish burger deal with chips (more like french fries) was huge. 2 massive pieces of crumbed fish on the burger along with tomato, beetroot, lettuce, fried onion and tartare. Delicious and filling.

Before you head over

Helpful guidance on pre-ordering, timing, and accessibility for a seamless visit.

  • Pre-Order for Large Group Gatherings

    If dining with a group of up to 20 or 21 people, contact the manager in advance to agree on price and arrange a scheduled pick-up time for smooth service.

  • Order Online to Avoid Peak Queues

    Ordering ahead online or timing your visit during quieter off-peak windows helps you bypass busy counter lines and secure fast turnaround on hot orders.

  • Plan Ahead for Entrance Steps

    The historic Queenslander has entrance steps that can pose challenges for guests using walkers or wheelchairs, so factor this into your arrival plans.
