Strait on the Beach

Big Burger = Big Flavour!
Place is clean, inviting and all round great atmosphere, I ordered takeaway & the place was pumping and had a good feel about it & the views of course can’t be beat.
Big burger (The Lot) packed a punch of flavour and the chips, the chips were bloody deliciously crunchy and well seasoned but wait………I had a little complimentary tomato sauce thrown in the pack, which I absolutely love that finer detail & shows they care.
Absolutely nailed it! Ripper spot! 10/10

UPDATE JAN 2024
Holloways Beach was devastated by floods in mid December 2023. As this place is on the beach I thought it would be closed. On a reconnaissance trip I found it wasn't and it was operating as normal.
So I went with friends to try it again. The owners said they weren't affected by the floods / water but lost power for a long period and had to dispose of all their food inventory. The good news is we found it was as good as before. I'm happy to say the previous review still applies. I should mention I ordered a different dish this time and it was as enjoyable as the last time.

ORIGINAL REVIEW
It looks like I'm going to repeat what many reviews have already said.
This place has good food in a great location. I ordered a simple burger -- the lowest price point on their burger menu. It tasted great. The beef patty was juicy and had good flavour.
I wouldn't say it's expensive and they could probably charge just for the views, but hey, they're free.

I saw quite a few people enjoying coffee so apparently that's an option, too.

No complaints about this place. I enjoyed it.

A restaurant overlooking the Holloway's beach! Awesomely atmosphere to dine in. Super fresh calamari. Decent pricing on the meals. It's juz too bad there is a lil construction at the moment, which added to the waves sound

Had an excellent afternoon sitting under the tree in the cool breeze
The chicken parmigiana was amazingly good.
Thick shake was a bit small

What an amazing little gem this place is. Visited 1 day and had a fruit juice (beetroot, apple, watermelon and ginger) and wow it was amazing. So good that we came back 2 days later and had the same drink and food. The juice was exactly the same - delicious. The food - The burger with the lot and a chicken caesar wrap were both delicious also. Great little place right off the beach which I feel is so much better than the main "tourist" beaches.

Friendly staff,Beautiful breeze strait off the ocean. This place has location, great fresh food, unique settings and loads of smiles. Is popular so is generally busy. Our food was delivered to our table quickly 15-20 minutes at most. Drinks arrived earlier. Thank you it was a pleasure.

We went there on the public holiday in Queensland and had to pay a 15% surcharge, which I thought was a like high.The waitresses were very friendly and cleaned the tables as soon as you finished. There was some usual seating around the place.The day was a little overcast and windy, but that didn't bother us, as we were sitting under a shelter.The food was great and came out quick, considering it was very busy,Recommend to book.There is live music on Saturday's. Agreat place to take a group or love one and spent a afternoon, drinking and looking out to sea.

Awesome little spot as the names says STRAIGHT ON THE BEACH what a gem

Location is just great. Good cofee and food is quick. Great staff. Make a visit during your stay. Worth it. All good after Jasper so go and visit an awesome local business.

Very nice and extremelly well positioned cafe on Holloways Beach.

Plenty of seating, some under cover, others closer to the beach.

Some have spectacular views of the Coral Sea.

Lunch was fabulous. I had the three egg omelette with toast.

And I came back later to enjoy a coffee and the afternoon views. Very nice coffee as well.

A must visit if you are in the area.

Our fortnightly Friday morning coffee group met here on 02/02/24. There were 18 of us and everyone enjoyed the food and drink. The service was excellent from the efficient and friendly staff. Highly recommended and we will be back again.

Dined there today and this will be the first of many visits. Love the fact that they're dog friendly so I was able to bring my dachshund. The fish and chips were divine. Very friendly and helpful staff. The atmosphere and view was the best. I'll definitely be back.

Right on the sand at Holloway's Beach. We had the breakfast. I had the Big Breakfast which lived up to its name and she had the Eggs Benny which was ample and delicious.

Steve your a legend. If only the world had more people like you, with big hearts, warm and caring. Thank you for your generosity. It was greatly appreciated, more than you will ever know. 💐Ginger and Petals Florist

Yummy scones with coconut cream. Avo with smashed feta really good. Nice view friendly staff busy but meals came out quick. Nice outdoor dining area

A wonderful little Care on the beach at Holloway’s. It offers stunning views of the beach and sea.
The cafe is licenced, so you can enjoy a wine or beer with your meal.
Plenty of parking nearby.
The staff are friendly and the food well priced.
Dog friendly

Had a brilliant early lunch overlooking the sea - there was a lovely breeze. Staff were great and food was delicious

Great dishes in a beautiful place with good service

Just spent a few days up Cairns way. Sadly it rained the whole time, but we were happy at least to find this amazing place and enjoy a delicious eggs Benedict while directly over looking the beach. Great service & plenty of undercover/open view seating.

Great food - golden spot.
Literally on the beach with indoor seating and heaps of outdoor seating which is shaded by the lovely trees and a safe beach for swimming right at the front.
