I'll be upfront !! this is your typical pub food experience, and you largely get what you pay for. The steak was the standout, cooked perfectly and definitely worth ordering.

The chicken parmigianas, however, were pretty average. They tasted like basic, cheap schnitzels with minimal effort put into them. At $25, it's not exactly a surprise, but it's nothing to rave about either.

Prices overall are reasonable, so if you're just after a cheap feed, this place does the job. That said, the service could really use some improvement. Staff came across a bit untrained and lacked basic customer service skills, which let the experience down.

The gaming room was also disappointing didn't feel great spending time there with very little return $1000+ down ! Not a single feature !

Overall, it's a budget-friendly option with one or two highlights, but don't expect anything special. 3 ⭐️

The steak was cooked perfectly ??'? just the way i ordered, very happy with the flavour too. The staff were very friendly and smiling. It must have been a quite Sunday night, as it wasn\'t very busy. Plenty of your standard beers on tap 🍻, Tooheys New of course 😉.

Ordered the Hawaiian Parma, it was seriously disappointing. Tasteless chicken, cheap ham, and sad slices of tinned pineapple just slapped on top. When places give you a buzzer and make you collect your own food from the counter, the meal really needs to justify the effort. This one didn't.
It's Queensland, fresh pineapple literally grows down the road! No excuse for serving the tinned stuff on a "Hawaiian" in 2025. And no Great Northern on tap.

Absolutely loved our experience at the Clock hotel! The food was amazing and the service was top notch. The staff are friendly, attentive, and quick. A special shout out to the vegetarian lasagne 🙌hands down one of the best I\'ve ever had. Rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great meal and atmosphere.

I recently visited the Clock hotel in Surfers Paradise. While the experience wasn't perfect, there were definitely some highlights. The best parts were the iconic clock tower, which adds great character and charm to the place, and the outdoor seating area, which is spacious and pleasant - perfect for enjoying a drink or meal on a nice day.

That said, the service was disappointing. When we arrived, the staff seemed inattentive and didn't come over to serve us. We had to go to the bar ourselves to place our order, which felt frustrating and unwelcoming. It seemed like they weren't very engaged with guests, which took away from the overall experience.

The menu was average, with decent but nothing spectacular flavors. Considering the price, I felt the value for money. Portions were okay but the taste didn't stand out much.

The atmosphere is casual and the outdoor seating helps make up for some of the indoor shortcomings. With better service and more attention to guests, this place could be much better.

Overall, the Clock hotel has good bones - great location, unique clock tower, and nice outdoor space - but it needs to improve staff attentiveness and food quality to match. For now, it's a mixed bag; worth a visit if you want to enjoy the outdoor area, but don't expect top-notch service or memorable food.
