Railway Hotel Yeppoon — Restaurant in Yeppoon

The Historical Railway Hotel Yeppoon. There are several aspects to this hotel. The main front bar facing Arthur street has an external, raised and sheltered, verandah overlooking a pedestrian walkway. The seating is comprised of a long slab table and stools very popular with locals & tradies who can enjoy a cool drink in the afternoon shade. Bikers are welcome. The second bar facing James Street is located in a spacious eating area divided in two. One in the immediate vicinity of the bar, comprised of comfortable bench & stool seating the other comprised of mainly tables & chairs, being a spacious semi enclosed area skirted by a footpath. This open, semi external, area stages musical acts that usually perform on weekends. Patrons and musos alike can enjoy this social setting in the cool breeze coming off the ocean some 800 metres east of this location. The main dining area is enclosed by three walls with immediate access to the abovementioned open plan bar. It also has access to the TAB via a connecting door from the dining area, quite convenient for punters and sports fans who can enjoy a drink, a meal or a bet. TV monitors which broadcast sporting and gambling activities adorn several walls throughout the premises. Dining is family friendly, available from 11:00am-9:00 pm daily. The food is tasty, well prepared and presented. We enjoyed the reasonably priced Tuscanny pumpkin salad from a menu with a good choice of food. The path from the door leading out of the diner to James Street branches off to a semi enclosed smoking area. Signage prohibits patrons from consuming food in this section. The poker machine room and toilets can be accessed through a shared short corridor from the dining area and main bar. Functional space is of a premium and hence, unfortunately, the rest rooms are not very wheelchair accessible. The atmosphere throughout is tropical, friendly and casual. The service we found to be prompt and courteous sans the hoity-toity business attitude so rife in some business premises of late. The bonus for history buffs is a very informative collection of b&w framed photographs depicting, among other subjects, the Yeppoon pineapple industry and its transport infrastructure including the township circa 1903. These shots adorn several walls throughout the premises. Historically the Railway Hotel is directly opposite the now disused railway station which in its heyday was also the loadind yard for crates of pineapples generally bound for the Golden Circle cannery in greater Brisbane. The Hotel is literally surrounded with parking spaces in both its James & Arthur Street frontages including the opposite sides of these streets. Also its western side car park at the rear of the building where its bottle department is located and the Coles car park nearby adjoining the NAB next door to the TAB's northern...

My partner and I dined here Monday Night, the service was amazing and atmosphere was great. Sadly the food has let them down. I had the steak and the steak was cooked well, veggies were plain and undercooked but chips were cooked well. My partner had the crumbed steak which was alright. We also ordered the chiefs special ‘crispy pork belly’. Well there was nothing about it that was crispy. It was spongy and We didn’t finish the meal as we personally didn’t like it. It did have a funny taste but we thought it might have been the way the chief has prepared it. sadly a couple hours after having this meal we are both falling ill from it and we believe the pork belly was border line off and not safe to consume to why it tasted funny. For the price you pay for meals here I would expect better quality meal. I personally would not be coming back this pub for a meal as per se but I’d definitely would have a few drinks there as the bartenders were...

Well with the RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol ) a venue by law is supposed to offer the sale of meals how do they get a way with this is beyond me. One staff member (who never smiles) told me they had run out of orange juice as they had a busy weekend , um hello it's Wednesday? I'm a non drinker and the seldom times i do go there am told same story.

Late at night when the band plays a little old irishman starts this drunken stuber dance and it is rather unpleasant to witness again RSA people you have a responsibility. People's avoid it very sad place.

Just adding to my post , I can't believe this place still trades without offering food totally unacceptable RSA People? They will tell you kitchen is being renovated? ? Come been years since revamp.

Same music every weekend , different bands same dirge .

Same pathetic old Alcoholic Irishman annoying everyone.

Don't waste your time or money people the other end of town offers...
