The Lucky Squire Reviews
We visited there lunch time on a couple of days on our holidays. The gentleman running the bar was fantastic to talk to, remembered us over the week and made us feel very welcome. The antipasto platter was delicious as were the other sides we had (Mainly there for the beverages). Happy hour made drinking there cheaper and we loved the atmosphere. Would recommend.

Went on a Tuesday night; it wasn't busy and the food came out quite quickly. Ended up being just over $100 for two adults and two kids under 10. The chicken parma was great. The baked chicken or whatever it was was too smokey and lacked any flavour. The two kid's steak and chips were too rare for children.

We are on holiday from Perth. Walked into this place and it’s amazing. The food was awesome, service quick and very delicious.
We had the loaded parmi and the ribs and both were awesome. Best parmi I have had in I don’t know when. Everything was 10/10. Thank you for a great meal
Prices were reasonable too. 😊

Waited nearly 50 mins for our food. Although the drinks were ok, the dishes were somewhat tasteless especially the salt and pepper squid which was the most disappointing. The rib fillet is definitely not worth the cost. Also the lighting randomly dimmed halfway through our wait making the restaurant very dark. Very unpleasant start to our holiday.

Very impressive withy the wood fire roast chicken, nice and juicy, the ginger beer is great. Easy to order, good quality and quantity. Kids eat for free on Tuesday, great family saving and family gathering in the Gold Coast areas

The venue has great potential, however everything was sub- standard.
Service and food were average.
The venue was probably at 25% capacity yet had to wait nearly an hour for the food the be delivered.
When it did arrive, not much flavour at all!
The kicker? Needed to pay $1 for tomato sauce.

The place was quiet on the evening I visited. We ordered from the table via QR code and came across 60 minute wait times for each menu item we selected. It almost stopped us from ordering the food, contemplating going somewhere else. We even asked a waitress and they didn't know if it was an accurate time or not.
We chose to order food and the wait time was no more than 15 minutes. We were surprised to receive our food so fast, yet be warned it was going to take much longer. They need to get this right as many people will finish their drinks and go elsewhere to eat.
We were pleasantly surprised by the food as it was pretty good. The place was nice and it was a good experience.

The manager and team were super helpful. I made a mistake in my order and when I asked to add the salad to what I had ordered they were able to get the rest of the meal out without too much of a wait even though the kitchen was really busy. I was happy to pay the difference, yet they didn't accept my offer.

The Lucky Squire (and its Brisbane sibling, The Charming Squire) have always been an old favourite with decently priced drinks, good food, live music and a comfy pub atmosphere. During Blues on Broadbeach the Lucky Squire fills up quickly before events so get in early and hold that table.

The food was very disappointing and not what we expected from a Squire's restaurant. The service was below average also. We had the arancini, gnocchi, and sticky date pudding. The arancini were very average and sitting in what seemed like a mushroom paste. The gnocchi was covered in the same paste and was salty and bland. Neither of us finished the gnocchi. The sticky date pudding was also strangely salty and below average in flavour. The staff seemed to be quite disengaged and that was reflected in the service we received. There were not that many people dining last night (Monday) but on leaving, we noticed tables with uncleared plates and half eaten meals also. I have not visited a Squire's since 2019 but loved the food at Charming and Squire's Landing in Sydney. We won't be back to the Lucky Squire I am sorry to say.

Overpriced for terrible service. We waited 45 mins for our first order to arrive and an extra 15mins for the second order which was placed with the QR code just 2 mins apart from each other, we were told the kitchen was busy even though more than half the tables were empty.
After waiting 45 mins they brought out the entrees together with the mains!!
Then my $26 calamari salad came out incomplete, it was missing the goats cheese and it looked nothing like the photo on the menu. See the attached photo, I paid $26 for a few strips of cold calamari with what looks like the packet salad mix from Coles with soggy capsicum but was advertised as "roasted peppers".
There was only one waitress and she was nowhere to be found, I had to bring my salad to the kitchen where I found the waitress who hardly spoke english and couldn't understand what I was saying so she called the chef.
I then waited another 15 mins (a total of 1 hr 15 mins waiting time) for my salad to come back with the cheese but it still looked nothing like what was advertised. This restaurant is terribly understaffed and there is clearly no quality check.
Also they don't seem interested in the customer experience as the whole point of ordering an entree is to have something to nibble on while waiting for your main meal. We spent nearly $200 in food and drinks for a very disappointing experience. Will not return!

Not a bad place to catch up and have a meal. Prices are on the higher side of average. Food was nice, and tasty. Atmosphere was a little loud if you wanted chat across the table but entertainment could sing. Would go back to try other dishes.

Nice clean and airy resturant, not much of a selection for lunch ended having artisan sourdough bread and lamb skewers (mince on a stick) and slightly burnt. Some drinks on the menu don't have a price on them so when you order them you just have to wait until you pay to know how much it cost. I would recommend to eat at the bar costs less and different menu for lunch anyway.
Staff were efficient and on to you once you walked in and overall decor was very pleasant with street views.
Food for lunch 6/10 but bread gets 9/10.
Atmosphere 9/10
Prices 6/10
Staff 8/10
Menu choice 6/10
Would we go back, possibly not, but we do a range of restaurants each week and this is our own personal view and may not be the same experience as anyone else.

My partner and I attended this venue tonight and left disappointed. When ordering via the QR code, we were alerted that there would be a 40 minute wait which we were understanding of (the venue was about half full). We waited over an hour and ten minutes for our meals and the food was satisfactory (barely warm, quite basic). What was the most disappointing part of the night however was that as we were leaving, a staff member apologised to the patrons at the table next to us for making them wait (no longer than we waited) and offered them a round of drinks on them. We were left wondering why this was only offered to particular people?! We would not return here.

I held a reception at Lucky Squire in Gold Coast and I was really pleased with the service and attention from the staff. The space was great, everyone enjoyed the drinks and food (lots of great choices) - the event went much longer than planned b/c everyone was enjoying themselves so much.

I had my 30th in their function room and absolutely everything was perfection. The team, the atmosphere, the food, everything was fantastic and we all had a wonderful time. In particular Chris was fantastic helping me plan everything. Thank you all so much!

Great place to relax & taste the beers brewed in house. Lost a star due to the layout more than anything else.

Great food, especially the loaded schnitzel and good beer, plus friendly service. The QR code ordering was a little weird to me at first, but very convenient.

Friendly service.
Food prices do not reflect the quality we recieved.
Fried chicken wings had a strange after taste, double cheeseburger was very dry.
The pork belly was rubbish. The skin was soft and rubbery as though it had just been reheated in the microwave, absolutely not worth $35.
The cocktails were poorly mixed. The first half tasted purely of soda water and the bottom half contained all the alcohol. As the venue has no straws or cocktail sticks the only way I could stir the drink to mix it properly was with my cutlery from dinner.

Food is very disappointing & over priced. $30 for a margrita pizza. Very doughy & way too much cheese (not melted properly) no flavour.
$5 dominos hits better. Good atmosphere thou

Caught up with friends on Easter Sunday for lunch. Great venue (has no idea it existed lol) with a cute outdoor area, live music and a separate dining area.
QR code to order both food and drinks. I did find the menu to not be that great but the chicken burger was bloody good and comes with chips 😀.
Efficient staff. Service was quick. Nice little casual spot.

Came here twice as part of the Blues on Broadbeach event. Even though it was hectic busy, the Lucky Squire kept it all together and delivered food and drinks in a prompt manner. I recommend the roast cauliflower bites 😋

Amazing service food exceptionally good and of very high standard, all staff very friendly with cheery attitudes and eager to assist, with all dietary requirements. The Chef is amazing and the Manager exceptional.Also very dog friendly. Well worth the visit, thoroughly recommend. Our go to every week. Thanks guys. Went to the Charming Squire recently in Brisbane definitely not up to the same standard in regards to food quality and customer service.

A great venue to catch up with a large group of friends. Can be a wait for food when busy. Good pub style food - the calamari was particularly good and so were the pizzas. I’m not a beer drinker but did enjoy their limited edition ‘lemon myrtle pale ale’. I found the staff patient and pleasant.
