A Nerang staple on Hinkler Drive, this McDonald's runs a busy drive-thru that, by several accounts, moves slower than the posted times suggest. The kitchen turns out the expected Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, and nuggets at prices that remain the most honest in the area. Consistency is the variable here: some visits land well, others less so. Staff quality shifts across shifts, though individual crew members draw genuine praise for keeping things moving under pressure. If you're ordering through the app, check the bag before you drive off. The dine-in option gives you a better chance of catching any errors before you're back on the highway. It's fast food doing what fast food does, at a price that makes the occasional miss easier to absorb.
Was in a rush and the order took a while (10 minutes) but Macy at the register was an absolute rockstar. Her patience, understanding and overall attitude despite the busy time was awesome. When I informed her I needed to go asap she was an absolute rockstar and did most of my order in 1 minute. Blew me away honestly, truly prioritising the customer. Big shout out for her 🙌
Unfortunately waited 10mins for lunch today and ordered the family box through the app. First issue was it took 10mins waiting after ordering in the carpark and watched so many cars getting their food through the drive thru, whilst the drinks sat patiently waiting for the food on the front counter, whoever made the Tennessee double burger clearly wasn't too enthralled by having a job, as it looked like a dog's breakfast and sloppy. They forgot the nuggets sauce and the quarter pounders weren't much better. Highly disappointed would be a understatement 😕

Mermaid Beach
The chicken karaage croissant alone justifies the detour to Mermaid Beach. Bam Bam Bakehouse does all-day brunch with serious pastry credentials, Single O coffee, and a menu that roams from açai bowls to green tea noodles. Bright room, relaxed pace, good baked goods to take away.

Burleigh Waters QLD
At $4.80 a plate, Honba's sushi train punches well above its price point. The aburi selection is the draw, particularly the cheese salmon roll and scallop, but the karaage chicken and crispy salmon skins are the sleeper hits. Arrive early. The dinner waitlist is real.

If i could give this place 0 stars i would this is the worst maccas in qld ive come through the drive thru over 5 times now and without a doubt every single time they have missed items or had to wait over 10 minutes for a order the staff seem to not communicate because every time we give back the order to get the right food no one comes back with our food we have to ask another person giving out other peoples food where it is or have to go inside to get our food and the staff are not apologetic and seem to have no idea about the orders every time last week we were told to wait in the waiting bay for a couple of ice creams we had to wait for 20 minutes before we went inside to ask where they are and had to wait for another 10 to get the ice creams this maccas really needs to step up
Went on a Thursday night where it was moderately busy in drive thru, we ordered and were told to park around the corner because they already had 6 other cars parked waiting for meals. We waited over 10 minutes and watched them park every other car that came through after us except for one that appeared to only get drinks. Several of the people parked after us got meals before us. We only ordered a Big Mac and quarter pounder meals so nothing complex, when we finally got our meal it was just “here’s your meal” from the you guy tha was running meals out, no apology for the wait, no acknowledgement of the fact that their service was extremely poor and as we tried to leave we got stuck whilst 3 more cars from drive thru tried to back into the remaining few car parks left surrounding the drive thru to await their drive thru orders. Clearly fudging their times to look good on paper in drive thru.
Over the years it's gotten worse and worse. I honestly think it might be the worst maccas on the coast. Very typical to have all the staff just hanging out with a bunch of drunk kids (apparently just the off duty staff) that come in of the evening to hang, while ignoring customers trying to pick up their food or enquire about their order which ends up being an open bag on a counter that's sat for 15 minutes. Food is usually cold, incorrect, and/or missing. Doesn't seem to be any training. There is no cleaning. It's the worst.
Currumbin
Window seats overlooking Elephant Rock book out fast at this Currumbin Beach institution. The $35 porterhouse and calamari earn their regulars, the views earn everyone else, and the prices keep whole families coming back week after week.
