Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I found the staff at this establishment to be the only down side to my whole trip to Yeppoon. The show was ok and had some funny moments but a lot of the content offended the people in my tour group. I would not return to this show again.

I am from Malaysia and was in Melbourne and Canberra for 3 months for vacation. I have always wanted to go Yeppoon to experience the tropical weather akin to Malaysia during winter in Canberra. While I was looking for main attractions to visit, I found(on TripAdvisor) Footlights Theatre Restaurant is a must, must! So in sheer eager I called and arranged for a Saturday show for 2. Booking was easy and Garyth, whom I spoke to, was just a dear soul. Anyway, I got there on Saturday to find that there wasn't only both of us to enjoy the show. We were sitting with 16 other people who was as excited and keen as we were. We ordered couple of drinks at the bar(gorgeous bar staff), got to our table which was neatly arranged for us, ordered a beautiful homemade chicken and bacon pie. Huge portion!!! I was given more than what I paid, I must say. By the time, I was already excited, thrilled and overwhelmed with the energy the staffs had and welcoming they were. After having my clean, licked-shine plate carried away, the staffs got ready for the show. Imagine working as a waiter a second and then performer the another. They are born-talented people, let me tell you. The show was utterly spectacular and one must see it to experience it. We enjoyed all their 1372 comedy sketches(I don't exaggerate) they did for the night particularly, the marriage sketch and Mr Garbologist. I have never laughed till I choked on my own tongue, no joke! It was embarrassing. But the show was marvelous, brilliant, exciting, entertaining, hilarious and I was very truly talented people. Hats off to them.
If anyone reading this review and thinking of going to see them, please, I repeat, please stop thinking and just go. Booking essential by the way. Do not consider it as worth the money but it is a MUST DO because these people are dedicated to make their customer laugh and cheery and it is very healthy to have good laugh quite often. Every weekend would be a perfect dose! PROVEN.
To Footlights Restaurant, THANK YOU. THANK YOU for the great experience you have given us. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. We will be back.
I am a funnier person now, my partner reckons.

There's something magical about Footlights, you walk in and you just can't help smiling! Maybe it's the atmosphere, maybe it's the look or maybe it's the wonderful staff...whatever the reason, it's just a place that makes you happy from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave! Footlights is without a doubt my favourite place to visit when I come to central Queensland. The shows are very clever and very, VERY funny! The food is all homemade and it's all excellent. Sometimes I still dream about their creamy pumpkin soup...I'm yet to find another like it! If you miss a show at Footlights you're truly missing out. I wouldn't wish that fate on my worst enemy! Give it a go, I dare you! Trust me. Footlights is for YOU!

The best part of visiting the coast is going to this unreal restaurant.
The food is amazing, fresh, filling and just outright yum.
The service was friendly, helpful and accommodating.
The cocktails are awesome and went down rather well :-)
And the show had me laughing the whole way through with the perfect amount of crowd interaction so at no point did we feel uncomfortable.
If you want a fun night out, that can please all ages and types of people, then this is definitely where you need to go!!!

Last Saturday night was one of the best nights that I've ever experienced in my life. If you want the most perfect restaurant experience ever, this is not for you. If you want an excellent home cooked meal, laughter to the max. and meeting good old fashioned country folk, mixed with a bit of sophistication, This is it. I can't stop thinking about my two weeks in Yeppoon and Footlights.

Me and my partner went here and weren't too sure what to expect but we just loved it! The drinks were very well priced (3 bottles later). The meals were home cooked and so tasty. And the entertainment well what can I say... Hilarious! Was great Aussie humour! there was another young couple from the same hotel who also loved it! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is staying on the Capricorn coast

Footlights theatre is truly the hidden gem of Yeppoon for a fantastic night of entertainment! The Warpoles serve a simple but fantastic meal and the theatre show is funny, witty and clever. Young and old will have a fantastic night.
