My partner & i & 3 teenage children ate here. We were seated quickly & provided with only 2 menus between 5 of us. Not sure why as the kids are in high school & not little. I asked for more menus & was provided with some more. The food came out quickly but was hit and miss. The chicken wings were very dry. The prawns were delicious but 3 prawns for around $24 was quite steep. The boa buns had a piece of chicken & a leaf of lettuce, no sauce so also very dry. Generally the food was ok but very small portions & pricy. The staff were good, good service. Dinner was nice but I won’t eat here again due to value for money. I have eaten at many restaurants around Mooloolaba over the past week and there are much better restaurants around.

Great customer service but overshadowed by very confusing ambience. Overly loud dance music, bright lighting and crowded. Could tell that the space is supposed to transition into a nightclub. Misleading pictures, was expecting a relaxed, low lit and tranquil experience but we were met with confusing vibes, hard to talk over music and we’re looking forward to leaving at the end.

Horrible experience, sat down and was given almost no time to order. They were rushing us to decide because of a mix up with bookings. Ruined our whole night.

I wouldn’t say the venue had any ambience. The service was average at best. For my meal I had the buffalo chicken ones with red dragon sauce. They were overcooked and very salty. The prawns. We chilli and garlic butter prawns 3 Prawns for $24.90 not overly large overpriced and the prawns were off. It was only after complaining several times they were taken off our bill. The Venue has a lot of hills decline very disappointing. It was my wife’s birthday and there was very little to celebrate. Would not recommend this venue.

Hi Ray, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry that your experience wasn’t up to our usual standards. We want to clarify that our manager personally addressed your concerns about the prawns, removing them from the bill right away after hearing your feedback. He also checked in with your table regarding the rest of the meal and drinks, and we were happy to hear that your wife enjoyed the food and cocktails—ordering two rounds, in fact! While we always appreciate constructive feedback and strive to improve, we kindly ask that reviews reflect the overall experience fairly. Kind regards, Backlane Bar and street food
