Hi Beth. Thanks for taking the time to review St Helens. We take great pride in our food and drink offerings (as most places do), but the service that Lily and the rest of the staff provide is another reason that people keep coming back....More

Amazing

Morton bay bugs burger is to die for. Love the chicken wings with a blue cheese dip of some sort. I have ordered this a few times.

Hi annc Thanks for the positive review. The bug burger is becoming a real favourite at St Helens, and those Buffalo wings are one of our biggest sellers...also available during our Happy Hour as well! Hope to see you again soon.

All of our meals were delicious

All of our meals were delicious and the service was good. Reasonably priced. Shame they had run out of gf buns though as my husband was looking forward to a Moreton bay bug roll. Maybe next time 😀

Hi Kel. Thanks for your favourable review of St Helens. I agree with your about the GF buns, we are trying to find a supplier of some decent quality buns at the moment...hopefully they will be here for your next visit.

Great food, Generous Drinks and a Cozy Atmosphere.

I spent 2 years living on the Gold Coast, this place is a gem! Any time I come back I always eat at Saint Helen's because the food is amazing like being transported to a quality venue in the USA!

Good burgers and sliders. Ribs not so much.

Staying near here and ate here 3 times. First experience was not great. Ribs were small, lacking in sauce and the fries were way too salty. I was sorely disappointed by that order. Went back to try their burgers with a friend. That was awesome....The onion rings are big and fat and juicy. The sliders were yummy. Their burgers are good and filling. The staff is lovely and helpful. Glad I gave them a second go after my not great rib dinner.More

Food and drinks were sublime

Emerged from the COVID lockdown to try a weekend lunch at this neighbourhood eatery. Food and drinks were sublime, (had the cowboy burger and a craft beer.) Will definitely return as the atmosphere had a lovely vibe as well.

Perfect place to while away an afternoon which then quickly becomes evening...

One of our favourite places to visit on an afternoon for happy hour and then stay for the live music, great cocktails and good conversation. Samara is an amazing waitress! Thanks for another fabulous afternoon!
