Cairns RSL Club

A lovely RSL overlooking the Harbour. We came for lunch and my wife had linguine with crab and prawns and chillie but due to my allergies of not eating garlic and onion, I ended up having a steak burger with mashed potatoes Food prices are reasonable. Service was very good and chef made sure that I did not have something that might have an allergy.

Anzac Day here was superb. The Kokoda curry and the cannelloni were excellent! Unlike most places, didn't charge extra for the public holiday. While there were long queues at the bar, this is to be expected and a little patience is required.

Located on the Esplanade overlooking the ocean, this classic club serves up a good selection of beverages and food. The large open windows bring the outside in and make it a great spot to watch the constant stream of people walking by.

Modern and clean atmosphere. Delicious food with several great roasts available. I enjoyed the roast pork with plenty of crackle. Large and varied menu. Good prices and friendly staff.

This is a really good venue. It's my favourite beach front rsl club in Australia and is light years ahead of North Bondi imo. The menu is really good and great value for money. The museum upstairs is very good.

The venue's location is outstanding, with a beautiful view facing the water, and features glass walls that open to allow a pleasant breeze or offer the alternative of air-conditioned comfort. We spent our Saturday afternoon watching sports, betting on horse racing, and enjoying cold glasses of wine and ginger beer. The age demographic is primarily between 35 and 65. This venue caters to a broad range of patrons, from singles and couples to groups.

The "grilled" barramundi is not grilled. I ordered it and it came in a weird consistency with the sides so dry, was hard to chew. Did not taste fresh. Not sure if it's because it has been pre cooked in a pan with water. But it definately hasn't been grilled. The roast veggies abd the salad that comes with the fish tasted great. Good environment.

There always seemed to be a good crowd here when we walked past. We made a booking and went. Such a great location. Very clean and tidy. The staff were so lovely and helpful. But the meals were average. The kid’s meals were fine. They also got a drink, kids pack and icecream included which is amazing!! But my husband and I both had salads (two different salads) and couldn’t eat them. Too much of the dressing. It was overpowering. Disappointed because it looked great.

A local couple I met mentioned that this restaurant is a charity helping Australian Defence Force, therefore I wanted to try it. Amazed by the great tasting food. You can also play Keno while you eat and service was exceptional.

Great place to grab an ice cold beer that's really affordable! The crowd here is older but all very nice. Bar area was small no seating at the actual bar... but lots of tables and chairs throughout. A few TVs showing horse racing with a machine to make bets. Very popular area. I sat out in the larger open area with TVs showing different cricket games on. People were super friendly all hanging out and talking together.. really felt part of the group. I can back here a few times during my stay.

Went here for dinner with my family and it was absolutely horrible. I know this is a club and not a restaurant but no way can they charge $20+ for frozen junk. Me and my mother ordered Moroccan chicken with cous cous. It took about 15-20 minutes to arrive and immediately looked and smelled dreadful. The cous cous looked like corn and tasted grainy. The chicken was rubbery and it was all drenched in this horrible tasty oil like sauce. I had to spit it out. My mum could barely eat it either. I decided to try my brother's rump steak with mushroom sauce which was not an improvement. The chips were obviously frozen and the steak tasted burnt. The mushroom sauce tasted like Chinese takeaway gravy. I give them one star only because the waitresses were very helpful and understanding. The RSL is clearly a place for smokers with no taste. We managed to get a refund though.

We live 50m from the RSL and regularly eat there. Friendly staff and good value meals with good quality considering the price. Their food puts many restaurants in Cairns charging significantly more for lower quality food to shame.

Brilliant realistically priced meals in a family friendly atmosphere. Surf & turf was great & only $30
