The Caxton Hotel

Went out with family and friends for my birthday.
Great place and food. Meals are big well worth the money and reasonable priced. Not a lot of parking on-site and street parking is limited so plan for that. Overall a great experience.

Fantastic! Start to finish organising the function upstairs was seamless. Staff fantastic, nothing too hard - supremely attentive. Highly recommend revisiting the upstairs function space if you haven't been for a while.

I have been a loyal Cacko regular for many years, every time I go there the staff are very attentive and look after me all the time. They are happy to find the right channel for me when I want to watch a sports game and the food and atmosphere are amazing. I always have fun every time I go there.

Finally, at Caxton Hotel. A great family run this wonderful Hotel. Pub was so well managed for the huge night of State of Origin. Am sure after the brilliant management of this huge night that the everyday service is excellent. A must to visit

My wife and I dined here on a quiet Thursday night in June. The place was fairly empty, which suited us fine, as it made the ambience quiet, laid back and relaxing and we also received excellent attention from the wait staff. Parking was a breeze too, and we managed to get a spot right opposite the hotel, where restrictions end at 7.00pm. We had taken the precaution of booking ahead but it wasn’t necessary, with ample free tables and we were able to choose where we wanted to sit. It was a cold, wintry night and this is a slightly chilly venue with a mainly white colour scheme, high ceilings and tiled floors, which isn’t ideal for winter. But they do have a few heavy duty, industrial strength heaters strategically placed throughout the venue, so of course we chose a table that was close to one.

The place has been tastefully decked out with stylish modern furniture in black and white, and being a large space, it’s open, airy and comfortable with plenty of room between the tables. With a gentle breeze blowing through it, this would be a pleasure on a hot Qld summer night.

Our server was Brianne. Like all the wait staff, she was neatly turned out in a black and white uniform, to match the overall colour scheme of the place. She was a friendly young lady: Helpful, polite and efficient, and she made sure that the evening ran smoothly for us from beginning to end. Orders were quickly taken, and drinks entrees and mains came out at steady clip, in the correct order and with minimum waiting time between courses. That’s just the way we like it!

We started with a couple of glasses of our fav Juliet Moscato sparkling white wine ($9 for a small glass, a hefty $15 for the 250ml glass). That went down well and whetted our appetites. For an entree, we ordered the salt and pepper calamari with sweet chilli dressing ($17). The calamari was nice and chewy, perfect with a slice of lemon, chilli sauce and a sprinkling of tomato and celery salad with salsa. The serving size was small for the price, and we finished it off in no time. For our mains, we both ordered the 350 g porterhouse steaks at $30 each. They came with beer battered chips and a choice of one sauce and one side dish. We both chose mushroom sauce and coleslaw as our side. Steaks were well cooked the way we like them to be, and perfectly complemented by the crispy chips and smooth, creamy coleslaw. Fab meals, beautifully prepared and nicely presented to the table on smart white crockery. We both enjoyed our steaks.

With only a smattering of other guests, the acoustics were perfect and we had no trouble conversing. The wicker chairs were comfy, and the tables large enough to fit all the drinks and meals. Toilets are clean, well provisioned and easy to find.

Our bill two came to $78, after a $30 “Dining Out in Brisbane” discount. I guess without the discount, we would have paid a rather steep $108 for three glasses of wine, one entree and two steaks. This just goes to show the extent to which our little Aussie peso has been devalued thanks to govt profligacy and reckless spending.

But overall, we had a very pleasant evening here and it all went swimmingly. The food is excellent, service is fast and efficient and the ambience is pleasant and relaxed in an airy and comfortable space. I’m sure we’ll be back to the Caxton before too long.

We held our sons 21st upstairs in the haunt room on Saturday night & a fantastic night was had by all. Katie was so easy to deal with & had everything run so smooth that we could enjoy the night celebrating with family & friends. Highly recommend this venue!

Lunch rump special was great value an mnd cooked to my liking. Very busy due to Christmas lunches so was a bit noisy but otherwise quite good. The staff kept up which was amazing considering the crowd.

Best steak I have honestly had without a doubt, great venue. Sporty but classy. Highly recommend.

We came here for state of origin and I am so glad we did. This was probably the best football atmosphere I have ever experienced. The venue was packed but it was worth it in every way. They served jugs of beer which stopped the long line-ups at the bar. Everyone in the venue was also very friendly and we made some great friends. The beer prices were reasonable considering the occasion. I dont think there was a minute of silence from start to finish. This place is iconic for a reason and hats off to the security they handled the venue extremely well. There weren't any fights either and everyone was allowed to have a true origin experience. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to watch the football with an amazing atmosphere then definitely come down here.

We were there before the Pink concert and even though it was flat out the staff were great and the food was yummy and not a big wait. Good job Caxton Team.

Fanbloodytastic❣
Great service, amazing food and the atmosphere was awesome.
Was here for the Cowboys vs Dolphins game.
Go Cowboys❣

We had a group of us come in Tuesday night for dinner
Food perfect, staff extremely friendly and welcoming, look forward to coming back again 😊

Iconic pub that I've now scratched off my bucket list. Great experience, especially before major sporting events, in my case Magic Round 2022.
Good pub food, and of course, plenty of beer🍺

Dined at the Char Grill, steak was excellent, desert topped it off perfectly, service was great, Manager was friendly, will be back

Great people great food cheap too

Great feed and great place to hang out before the NRL

Hadn't been here for years, went for work lunch and really enjoyed it.
Ravioli was awesome.
Staff were good too.

Had a work function held upstairs a few weeks ago. It was a perfect location and atmosphere. Plenty of room between the bar area and pool table room. Staff were fantastic. Great location for any function. Thanks Caxton Hotel. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing dinner. Good service and friendly staff. Not over busy on the Friday night our party of 10 went.

The atmosphere in this iconic pub is amazing but the beer garden can get very very busy, the service is awesome, love it even though I’m a nsw supporter.
