Tannum Sands Surf Lifesaving Club — Restaurant in Queensland

2 stars because of the beautiful views. I get that it was busy, but we waited an hour for 2 meals ( fish & chips, S & P calamari) before i went chasing them up. Appeared the order had gone missing, although I was assured it was almost ready .." just a couple more minutes". 20 min later, back I went, to be told very apologetically, that it was cooked - it was just being plated. Would be one or two minutes. After another 10 minutes, I went back to request a refund. This had now been 90 mins since we ordered, and other diners were coming and going. Our lunches appeared at that very moment. I asked the young server where the cutlery was and she said she would get some. She returned a minute later and said she had to put cutlery in the dishwasher and would bring some out soon . Seriously!!?? We began to eat with our fingers we were that hungry. And my fish was luke warm at best - almost cold. Cutlery arrived almost 5 minutes later. Just in time to eat the salad. Would prefer they had owned up to losing the order in...

Shameful! I ordered dinner at 7.05pm. At 8.30, it had not arrived.... it doesn't take 90 minutes to cook a salmon.... Upon enquiring, I was advised it would be yet ANOTHER 5 minutes. 20 minutes later, exasperated, disappointed, hungry and disillusioned, I canceled my order (as my dinner companions had already finished theirs), and headed home to a late night snack of fruit and nuts. One of my dinner companions had waited over 75 minutes for her order of vegetables.... from the bain maree!!! (Note:- She went 3 times to the cashier to ask when her meal was coming). She did confide in me however, that the veges seemed a little dry and stale. So the moral of this post is that you ought to have a quick snack before you leave home to come here, and definitely bring your sense of humour..... because you're gonna need it at the Tannum Sands Surf...

We had lunch here. I had rang the previous afternoon and left a message to book a table on the deck, but they didn't respond. There was a table available on the deck in the shade which was lucky.

I have coeliac disease and had the calamari, chips and salad. I have had the chips on a previous visit and didn't get sick so I had them again, but unfortunately did get sick - my fault entirely, since they did warn me. The chips are apparently Gf but are cooked in a shared fryer, which normally doesn't affect me.

Its a great place for a drink or a meal, with a beautiful view.

Food is quite good, with reasonably sized servings. We have previously enjoyed the veggie burger. The beef burger...
