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.

The setting and views are excellent. We went as a family of 10 with three kids under 7. They had a good time with a lot of space to run around as well as a small playground. The food is nothing to rave about; fish and chips, calamari etc.

This restaurant has recently changed hands and the present owner has raised the standard of meals and service! We ordered fish, one serve oven baked and the other served crumbed. Both arrived without a long wait, were plentiful, well presented and absolutely delicious. The restaurant area caters for inside and outside dining and the view across the water, especially at sunset is spectacular! A great place to spend a leisurely meal!

Enjoyed a mid week holiday lunch at the Club. On offer was a wide selection of meals around the $25-$30 price range. The meals were prepared quickly and were very generous and tasty. You will not walk away hungry. Could possibly benefit from some more lunchtime sized (and priced) choices but in all a relaxed and enjoyable meal with great bay views.

If this was the last restaurant on earth and I was dying of malnutrition, I still would not return here. My wife, my three children, and I ate here this evening for $135. They Charged my wife and me $32 each for fish and chips! When they arrived it was not even a full fish, it was three small pieces of fish and a handful of chips. When I took it back to complain, I was told, "It was freshly caught," as if you would consider serving any other kind!! I was then told the duty manager was"TO BUSY" to come and talk to me ....seriously WTF!!! The food is a total rip off and if you are considering going here be prepared to be completely ripped off and extremely disappointed. I had to put a one star rating because there is no option for no star reviews.

We dropped in for lunch and was met with an unwelcoming "Get ya hat off". We were not aware until we saw the sign on the bar that caps are not permitted. On the Sunshine Coast hats are permitted in surf clubs such as Coolum especially on scorching hot days.
My friend and I ordered fish and chips and received two overcooked fish finger like piece's of what appeared to be fish and the chips were below average and cold. We weren't game to say anything as the female bar staff appeared annoyed that we were there. The four of us are 62-69 yrs old.
Only good thing was the beer was cold and it's in a great location. It's not hard to be friendly.

I’ve been here twice now while filling in time on the way to the ferry.. But now I know that I would just make a special trip to come here anyway because the staff are so hospitable drinks have reasonable prices and the food is for food very tasty and no complaints around the quality...pub meals that hit the spot reasonable prices. It’s a really relaxing unpretentious place where you can mingle with the locals but also have a lot of space around you on the grassy lawns.... overlooking the bay. Both times there has been a live band that play covers to stir your heart memories have a dance and sing. I Say come here you will enjoy J

Went recently and the service was really slow- the food is ok, but better places on the island. The woman that works behind the bar, name was Tracy I think is really rude, customer service is not her thing. We’ve been there a few times over the holidays and each time she’s been horrible... on our third visit we waited until another woman was behind the bar so we didn’t have to be served by her. Customer service can go a long way- she’s deterred us from booking our wedding there.

Great views but french fries must have been under the heat lamp for a long, long time. Horrible. Sentiment share by many more in our group. Can't definitely say they were the cause of my vomiting later on.

Little ship’s club is a classic club on the foreshore, we picked it because of its location (right next to the jetty where the Stradbroke flyer docks), menu was what you would get at an RSL, ordered fish and chips and the serve was great size, also we ordered drinks and the lemon lime and bitters was amazing, we chose to sit right on the sea front, yeah it was a little further to walk to pick up our meals and return our plates but, it was worth it
