Our recent birthday celebration at The Savvy Squire was absolutely fantastic, thanks to Hayley and her wonderful team.

From the moment we enquired about booking, Hayley's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. She made the planning process seamless and ensured everything ran smoothly on the day.

The venue was impeccably clean and beautifully presented, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for our guests. The food was delicious, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the menu - it was definitely worth every penny!

What made our celebration even more special was the fantastic atmosphere Hayley and her team created. Their friendly and attentive service made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout the event.

Additionally, we greatly appreciated Hayley's flexibility and transparency regarding other bookings in the Riverside room. Her clear communication and openness made the planning stress-free. Moreover, she graciously facilitated an area in the beer garden where our guests could continue to celebrate - it was the perfect end to a perfect day.

Thank you once again, Hayley and team, for helping to make our birthdays so memorable. We will definitely be recommending The Savvy Squire to others and look forward to celebrating with you again in the future.

I had an incredible experience at Savy Squire! May provided amazing service and made us feel right at home. The cocktails were the best I've ever had, perfectly crafted with a great balance of flavors. I'll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend!

Customer service experience 10/10. Awesome. Fm kitchen to the front of house. We needed to warm the milk for the baby and kitchen staff was very helpful. Friendly greeting from the front of house and all the way through. Great experience. Guests fm Adelaide.

Savvy squire is in a prime location on the water front. I odered the balmain bug tarcos, they are a cold tarco but the balmain bugs are super fresh.

For a main i had the lamb shank, its quiet a big serving, the lamb falls off the bone, the sauce is rich and it really Compliments the meal.

I had a Cosmopolitan. It was quiet nice too. The staff are friendly. Would love to go back and try other things on the NEW MENU!

Was a very disappointing experience. Booked lunch for my 50th birthday with family (table of 8). The view was lovely overlooking the water and the cocktails were delicious but other than that it was a big let down. Table booked for 8, was only set for 7 and while they dragged a chair over no cutlery was provided for the extra chair so we had to request it. Half our table ordered steaks and every single steak was overcooked. My medium steak was well done (no pink at all - just grey meat). The southern chicken burger was not really southern just a breaded chicken that was underwhelming. Other meals were also disappointing - pork belly was not crisp and fat had not been rendered and beef ribs tasted nice but were very fatty. To add a little bit of cherry on top of the disappointing meal my husband asked the wait staff if he could order a dessert and have them put candles on it to be delivered to me and was told to order on the app and they will "try" to intercept it on its way out to the table. It was like "that's not my job" response. We stayed in Mooloolaba for a week of birthday celebrations and my husband and I ate at many places but The Savvy Squire was by far was the worst and does not live up to the level of food and service associated with the "James Squire" name that we are used to. I won't be back - too many other good restaurants to go to in Mooloolaba.

Super average food. One of our pizzas looked like it came out of a frozen box. Took nearly an hour to come out. $25. How.
Don't come here for a good pub feed you'll be disappointed.

We celebrated my son's birthday at the Savvy Squire last night, and highly recommend it. The staff were professional and friendly; food service was first-rate. Every dish we ordered was delicious, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We'll certainly be returning!

Seems like the kitchen was overwhelmed today. It took an Hour for our meals to arrive. Not sure if I want to wait that long for dessert. My steak was rushed a little, charred on the outside and undercooked in the middle (Medium Well) Could have done with greater staffing numbers considering the wait and bar staff doing dual roles and the heavily pregnant restaurant manager having to pitch in as well.

What a view!!!!
The decor was pleasing!
The staff excellent and my goodness the food was yummy yummy yummy
Thank you ?

Busy Mooloolaba Ironman weekend, Dave found us a table and nothing was too much trouble. Lunch delicious and the team were friendly. Thank you!

The Chef here knows how to cook Barramundi.
Best meal in Oz so far (& have visited Melbourne & Cairns).
Fautless.
Beautifully cooked with crispy skin, with a lovely lemon sauce, potatoes & broccolini.
Only marked service low, (not a reflection of staff service), as order at the bar or via app from scanning qr code on tables, tremendously busy on a Sat night.

Just came on a trip to Australia. I was staying up on the Sunshine Coast for the week and decided to stop at the Savvy Squire for lunch. I was really impressed with the food and the service. The chicken wings and pizza really hit the spot! The bartender was super helpful and friendly, even chatting with me for a minute about video games, which was really cool. I will definitely come back here when I come around next!

Great food and amazing service. The service were super friendly and the service was fast. The food was tasty and quality. Great place.

A big open area pub and we went there for dinner and a couple of drinks.
We ended up having the seafood platter which was reasonable price and plenty for 2, tasting delicious.
I would love to try this in the daytime for the views and sit outside as I imagine would look lovely ?.
The night we went it wasn't really busy and so service was as expected.

The Brooklyn pizza barely had any flavour , most just cheese , cocktails took 15 minutes to arrive . Our mains took 70 minutes to arrive . The 300 gram rump cooked medium rare arrive on my table barely warm . Hot style fried chicken wings were too sour . First time to the savvy squire . It was a Friday night and the restaurant was only at half capacity.

It was a busy lunch. Rapid service.
We had a dozen samurai oysters, quite nice. Fun guy pizza, good pizza base, it was a bit overcooked, a lot of mushroom juice made the base soggy. Nice salad, just I just don't understand why the bottoms of the salad were served. Barramundi was ok.

Best place in Mooloolaba for a feed or drinks!! Scrumptious cocktails, delicious meals and the best staff on the coast! Gets busy during the weekends, so best to book to avoid disappointment! They have seafood, pizzas, traditional pub food, entrees, mains and desserts. Extensive range of liquor, with great cocktails, beer and ginger beer. Beautiful views of the river from the deck, cute undercover beer garden, sports bar with TVs, and pool tables, plus a gaming room with around 40 machines. Also has several function spaces downstairs and exclusive function spaces upstairs. This place has it all!!! They even have colouring for the kids near the front desk, to keep them busy while you try out some of the cocktails. Just love this place!!!

Big pub with a big range of beers and an extensive menu.

Only drinks this time around, but we will call again and dine and maybe will up the rating.

Lovely views over the river and for watching the Whaling boats come and go.

The place is huge. Great food & great service. You can order & pay for everything from your table. Unfortunately it lacks atmosphere and feels a bit like a food hall (almost lost a ?? for this). But it'd be better during the day with views of the Mooloolaba River.

Thanks Ella and Dave! Our daughter had a fabulous 21st birthday party in the upstairs Riverside room that we hired out for our private function. It is such a beautiful setting with views over the canal. Everything was so easy and hassle free, the food was delicious and the bar service was great, the bartenders were so friendly and helpful. We appreciate how easy made it all for us and accommodated all our needs.. We danced the night away - it was great!
Thank you!!

Amazing food!!! We ate hours ago and are still talking about how great it was! The arancini and Korean wings were the stars of the show and the fish and chips were the best we have had in Mooloolaba so far! We will definitely be back!

We always come to The Savvy Squire when we go up to Mooloolaba, we have always found the food to be very good with reasonable prices, friendly staff. Its a great spot to relax on the deck overlooking the Mooloolah River enjoying some icy cold lagers.

26/4/2022 We last visited the Savvy Squire a year ago and I gave it a 5 star review. We were looking forward to getting the Ploughman's Platter again as it was really great last visit. Unfortunately we were quite disappointed, as the photos show, there is quite a difference between the last platter we got and this one, sort of looks like someone went to Coles to grab the items to make it.
The deck is still a great place to sit and enjoy the views and the waitress that served us was friendly. I will return again and see how it is next time.

Nice ambience and great location. Food selection was pretty decent with the pizzas being particularly good (but we don't drink so can't comment on the 'beverages' menu). The deck outside looks like it would be amazing on a sunny day (we were there for dinner). Worth a drop in if you are in the area.

Best service I've had in a long time. Food just as good! Happy smiles, happy life!

Having been here before and having a great experience I was really looking forward to some good food and beer. Sadly this time was not great. Kids food good, adults food average. Staff not interested and not very helpful. Hopefully they lift their game as venue is really nice and has so much potential

Took our friends there today for lunch, a group of 4. The venue is much nicer now since the Squire group took control.
We had a table overlooking the marina/waterway and it is a nice location on a sunny day. We had been there before for a coffee but not a meal. We used other meal providers in the past, but went there for coffee.
Today we enjoyed a comfortable lunch, 2 eye fillets & a Seafood platter. All meals were just a tad overcooked, however we all enjoyed the meals.
Their 'Ginger Beer' was great & the Pale Ale worked well with the seafood.
All in all a nice venue with good vibes, drinks & nice food. (Next time we will ask them to watch the time taken to cook the fillet & the 1/2 lobster.) Yes we will definitely go back.

We had an amazing night with beautiful food!
Took our parents here up from Melbourne we had delicious meals and great service. I believe our waitresses name was Tatiana, her service was top notch, super friendly and very helpful

great service although, i ordered a chicken schnitzel that was burnt on the outside and overcooked on the ends. thinking it was cooked i continued to eat my meal only to find my chicken schnitzel was completely raw. we received a refund and not even an apology from the staff nor chef. obviously had been dropped into the deep fryer with the oil way to hot. so overall not great

Our first time here tonight and we were taken aback by the professionalism of the young wait-staff and the perfect response by management when we had an issue. Our waiter Zane made a mistake with our wine and immediately showed great composure and competence to get it sorted asap. He apologised and offered the appropriate compensation straight away and then continued to show great professionalism and service throughout the night. He had obviously discussed things with management to make sure we were taken care of which was so appreciated. So, service = perfect, and as far as food goes absolutely divine! We were attracted by the Plant-based section on the menu because, as a family of five vegetarians/vegans, we are always looking for a place that can offer us some variety. The burger and pizza were delicious, but the nachos and cauliflower salad were absolutely amazing! I dont usually take the time to write reviews but the whole family agreed that tonights experience warranted one. Well done The Savvy Squire particularly for your progressive menu and with picking or training your excellent staff! (esp Zane)

A 4.5 rating. Very tasty seafood pizzas and fish tacos. Excellent range of beers and other drinksOnly disappointment was the grilled octopus which was a very small serving although tasty. Ideal for a group or just as a couple.

Went for dinner on a Wednesday night. Place was packed. 50minute wait on food, understandable though more communication from staff would have been nice. Ordered 12 meals... all meals were cold. Kids cheese burger and chips was the last meal to arrive. Mushroom sauce with steaks had no mushrooms and tasted like red wine.Staggered dining may be an idea on busy nights or even just more communication from staff to customers.Have had a great lunch here in the past, though dinner really didn't make the mark.

I have been here twice now. The last time I went I had 1 of the best steaks of my life. The +2 marble sirloin steak done medium rare was absolutely perfect. I highly rate their food as well as their beer. This is now my favourite place to eat and drink.

Love Broken Shackles! Lovely relaxing afternoon food and drink by the water. Very nice!!
