Ashmore steak and seafood has been on the GC longer than I have and ive been coming for special events since I was a kid. I love the famously massive meal sizes, amazing pricing and great food. I always bring interstate people here and they all love it
Celebrated my birthday with my family at the Ashmore Steakhouse and the waitress was amazingly helpful and friendly and the food was just as good as the waitress đWill be back and thank you all staff.
Extremely fabulous food. The service was perfect in every way . The meals arrived on time with a smile from the waitress. The prices on the menu was perfect . Location parking perfect . Were greeted at the door and shown to our table. Within 10 minutes garlic bread was on the table outstanding Restaurant. I look forward to attending my next function there . Thank you to the Ashmore steak and seafood And all of their staff .đđđđ
Nice place to enjoy the steak and seafood, we ordered the T-bone steak, chilli bugs and kids spaghetti, the meals so big, cant finish all, had to take away the rest, thank you!

This is "my local" as it's the only restaurant I can walk to from my house and boozy walk home, however to call it my local doesn't necessarily reflect its quality of service or product. I would say coming to Ashmore Seafood and Steak is more of an experience one should have for themselves so I don't wait to give too much away, but brace yourself. The owner is a funny little greek? man and is there to greet you at the door EVERY NIGHT and from what staff have told me he has been there every day since approx 124 B.C. The place seems as though it's covered in a layer of thick dust with decor that hasn't been updated for decades, and colourful mismatched fairy lights everywhere for some reason. PRO's: free garlic bread that never runs out, fascinating bar/wine fridges that are semi-self serve and an experience in itself, large diverse menu. CONS: Cheap wine that's way overpriced, expensive menu, anything deep fried is fresh out of the freezer and flavourless.
I love taking people here for the first time because they really make up their own rules and etiquette and friends always end up says "what the hell is going on" but overall being pleased at the end. Not for a restaurant snob, but a nice change from the refined standards the rest of the gold coast is aiming for.
Oh yeah, steak is good, seafood is either very expensive or frozen.
Let's just talk about the steak for a minute. My boyfriend and I ordered the T-bone steaks. Absolutely superb. Good quality meat, and full of flavour. It was also cooked to perfection. I got the bugs with mine, and they were equally as delicious. The portions are huge, which is excellent. Staff are more than happy to give a takeaway box! Will be frequenting this place more often! Oh, and shoutout to the staff! Very good service, and super friendly :)
Polite service, reasonably priced and nice environment.
The food has big portions and would recommend sharing with 3+ people to have a taste of their big food variety.
Will revisit as it is convenient to get to and has good quality food.
Got here pre-6 pm before dinner rush. Ample seating and quick service. Ordered seafood platter with BBQ bugs. Value for money. Bugs were good. Deep fried seafood was fresh and well-done. Avoided the chips as they were not high value targets.
Glad we arrived early. Service was fast and polite. Can understand comments from other reviewers if place is in full swing. Service is cordial but feels configured for dealing with mass crowds.
Super large portions and tasty steak and seafood. Perfect for large groups or family celebrations. Just one tip - don't load up too much on the complimentary mega bowl of garlic bread.
We love this place. Staff are great. Food is good and plenty. Can't find any fault - have been going to this place for at least 20 years. Hope it never changes
love the food there. each celebration, anniversary or something, we will go there. plenty of tables food is fast and large. atmosphere is good.
It was my first time at Ashmore Seafood & Steak but despite the outdated decore, this place rocked my socks! Huge serving size and delicious fresh seafood meant this place is definitely on my list to go back to again. Warning folks, pack a pair of elastic pants because once you have a few pieces of the free delicious garlic bread, and a main meal, it's actually close to being too much food! The prices are good and whilst the service staff looked like they didn't want to be there, it didn't matter!
Love this place the meals are HUGE I always order the small meal which to me is large anyway, friendly staff, great place I would highly recommend it for families as they say you can share the meals as they are huge
I liked this restaurant because the menu provides tons of choices and I also enjoyed the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. It seemed like a very family friendly place and the prices were decent from memory. If you've got a big group who all don't know what they feel like or feel like different things, this is the place
Heard a lot about this restaurant and went recently to try. Very happy.  The restaurant is welcoming and always a huge selection of meals on the menu. If you can't find something on the list that they provide , then you'll never be satisfied. Yes , they do provide a paper menu that you have to mark by pencil for the waitress to collect but so what.  The meals are very satisfying and large, so bring an appetite. Have read some of the negative comments, and really people. This is a restaurant where you sit back , enjoy good food and drink .
Love this place. Meals are huge and staff are friendly. Prices are cheap. I shared the grilled bugs with my son, there were 8 halves. Hubby had kids fillet Mignon and it was more than enough for him.
I have been to this restaurant ever since I was a child (3 or 4) and I will keep coming back. The meals are delicious and huge (the greeks know how to eat!). I usually get the hot or cold seafood platter and the seafood is always fresh and tasty. 5/5 would recommend.
Mean feeds. Big meals good prices, nothing wrong didn't wait for ages and it was packed, people too picky these days this not right, that's not good enough, this is dark go cook for 100's of people every night and see how you go, chef ain't mind reader if you want it done your way speak, anyway amazing food I'll be back with the rest of the crew feeds on

Dinner tonight. I read all the reviews before going, so many negative reviews, didn't care though I judge on my own experiences, there's a lot of moaners out there ungrateful and egotistical who expect 5 star silver service in a bulk simplified large feeding eatery such as this. Moaning bloody Idiots! Get over yourselves the whole lot of you!
We are avid foodies, an ex chef & 5 star fine dining restaurant manager myself so my eye misses nothing. And I realise myself with a seating capacity that exceeds most large yum cha restaurants it's a fair challenge to exceed everyone's expectations and please everyone's tastes - the main operation here is moving large quantities of food quickly orchestrated by staff that were attentive & polite. No ass kissing here... This is for people who's heads and expectations are out of the clouds!
I wasn't there to judge I was there to enjoy the experience & we did. It's as simple as that really! Life's too short to get your kickers in a bunch or your underpants wedged around your nuts over little things. There's a bigger picture in this if one looked and appreciated it.
To end... The food rocked, we walked in starving, service was quick, friendly, polite & attentive. Refreshing to tick off our orders and hand our sheet over, free platter of yummy garlic bread arrived unexpectedly :)... Our meals were Devine! My T-bone steak was heaven, cooked perfectly, so was my eggs, the accompaniments were satisfying for a large appetite like mine. We were satisfied fully and we are grateful. We will take our friends there of course. It's not the bees knees but it's orchestrated as best for the numbers and turn over they cater for. Just be grateful and appreciative when you go here & you might find your experience a little enjoyable perhaps. I've dealt with enough moaning diners in my years in hospitality who expect the world to kiss their ass when they click their fingers. Be thoughtful & be simple with a smile. You receive what you reflect. It's not difficult to make the most of even the humblest of eating environments. No one is better than another whether you're a diner or restaurant worker :)
Love It!. Went here last night for a staff christmas party. 47 meals all served together, all hot and tasty, arrived at the same time - that is no easy feat. Meal size is out of control huge, the steak was cooked as requested, melt in your mouth soft and beautiful. This is a favourite local for many of us, you don't come here expecting fine dining. You come here because you are very very hungry for some good basic food with no frills and bells and whistles except good taste and a full belly. I recommend this restaurant to families with growing teenagers who are eating their parents out of house and home. They won't leave here hungry, and you won't leave here bankrupt.
What an unexpected surprise, the food ordering process seemed a little unusual, but the rest of the meal was excellent. Would recommend to anyone.
Pacific Paradise! Lol. I don't get what all the negative reviews are about? You pay $35-$50 for a LAAAAARGE meal. I say large coz my husband eats it and is satisfied ... .no dessert needed! Lol. And that's saying ALOT with his Samoan appetite! Haven't met a Pacific Islander yet who hasn't loved it.
Their kid friendly as in you don't feel like you have to keep kids 'silent' the whole time. Garlic breads FREE ... you can take a doggy bag home (which I do EVERY time coz I can never finish my meal) ... quality is YARRRRMY ... it's not gourmet ... but you ain't paying gourmet prices either!
Definitely worth a special family occasion in my books. Myself and my extended island family LOOOOVE this place! :)
There's a new critic in town me my wife are going to ashmore seafood and steakhouse tonight I hope the food is better then what a lot of people say I keep u posted
Enjoyable. Despite all the negative reviews I decided to try this place. Four of us dined here and the food was great.
The decor was a little tired and dated, but it's irrelevant when one is dining with good company.
The portions were generous platters with good quality seafood and steak which you do have trouble finishing. The menu does encourage you to share, which is helpful.
The complimentary bread was hot, tasty and crunchy and again generous in size.
The restaurant was buzzing with it being 3/4 full. The service was fine. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful in helping us navigate the vast menu in which you are required to pick and tick what you wish to have.
I had the fillet mignon which was perfectly cooked and the chips were delightful. The meal was also served with a side salad, nicely dressed.
I would certainly dine there again and you should give it a try.
We often eat at this Restaurant and we have never had a bad meal. The food is amazing, the meals are HUGE. My wife and I often share a main between us. Dint listen to the wingers- the food is fantastic
A great meal - for a great price. We came to Ashmore Seafood and Steakhouse on Valentine's Day.
We ordered the full lobster mornay and filet mignon.
Both were lovely. The service was great (especially given that the restaurant was almost at capacity) and we were highly impressed. We even took a spare menu home as a souvenir.
Will definitely be back - if we come back to Surfers.

Up with the best. This restaurant is huge and the staff tell me that it is not unusual to cater to over a thousand people on a single night! That must say something about the quality and taste on tap.
My family, friends and I eat here frequently and are always fascinated by how busy it gets and the huge staff they need. Probably explains why one or two critics feel they had a bad experience - with that many people going through a restaurant, you are bound to get one or two with a gripe.
Yet I can only say good things about our (many) dining experiences here. Oysters always get my mouth watering and whatever the standard of oysters currently available on the Coast, they always seem to have the best! Love their seafood platters, hot or cold, and know from experience to make sure that someone else is there to help you finish them off. Huge!
They seem to do everything in a big way, and the wine selection is massive - most of them at excellent prices.
This place is so different from any other eatery, in my opinion it should be a 'must do' on the list of anyone visiting the Gold Coast as well as those like me who moved here ten years ago and keep on returning for the size, the value and the taste.
What a great place for a relaxed meal, very informal with a serve yourself bar and large order form, the meals are huge and food quality is good. The meals were very tasty and value for money, not a 5 star place but worth a try if looking for seafood mainly and a relaxed family meal!!!
Maybe not a gourmet seafood place but the food is reasonably priced and very nice. Prawn dishes seem a little stingy though. Well worth a visit still
Great meals. Meal sizes are massive - my husband couldn't finish his steak and that never happens. All meals come with free garlic bread, chips and salad. Pricing is reasonable. Decor leaves a bit to be desired but who cares when the food is good? Would definately recommend it to others.
This is not a gourmet seafood restaurant but the food is good, large portion size and a relaxed atmosphere - have Bern here a few times - food was better this time. Great chops and real scallops with roe - the way I like them.
Wonderful Iconic Gold Coast Steak & Seafood Restaurant. Family Owned & Operated For Over 3 Decades !! & This Can Be Seen & Appreciated, By The Very Friendly & Extremely Efficient Service.
The Menu Is Extensive & Caters For Most Tastebuds & Budgets.
SO Sad, We Will Be Losing This Outstanding Establishment !!
I Strongly Recommend That You Get There & Do Yourself A Favour, While You Still Can.
On the 25/12/20021 my family and I entered this restaurant to have Christmas lunch together, we left at 2:30pm with the fullest of bellies and our hearts filled with joy from the experience. What a wonderful place to spend our time with our loved ones. The food absolutely amazing and plenty of it, the staff treat you like you're part of their family from the time you walk into their home (restaurant) and the friendly patrons all with BIG smiles on their faces says it all. Thankyou for a most wonderful from the Price Family
Had the grilled Morton bay bugs. So good I love going to the restaurant but be aware 9 times out of 10 be prepared to take a doggie bag. The meals for one person can be big.
This place is massive! I think it is actually the largest restaurant on the GC.
The atmosphere is more like that of an old family run country pub - super friendly staff, the bar area is like a mini bottle shop, the way you place your order is by ticking a box on the menu next to the thing you want and the food is generous, rustic and gets to the table quickly.
This is a great place to go with a group, seafood was pretty good, the oysters are excellent, not sure about the steak as the only steak at the table was ordered "well done" for some reason I will never know! Looks great in the display though.
This place has been around for yeeeeears. Like over 30+years and is still great.
You certainly do not walk out of here hungry in any sense as the plate sizes are BIG.
And the quality is pretty good. Let's put it this way, name mother restaurant that survived on the Gold Coast for over 30 years. Not many. It has plenty of tables, as we found out on recent Fathers Day, when most were fill, these guys still had a table or two to.fit the 3 of.us in. You'll see by the photos attached, they are pretty good meals, with FREE GARLIC BREAD!!!
Struggle to.find a place anywhere else on the GC that matches here for a great meal. đ
I can't believe this is now closed. An end of an era. We were there on it's last day and it was amazing.
Superb food and the staff is always friendly. We have been going to this restaurant for 30 years. Very highly recommended.
I think itâs a good restaurant, without having to wait because there are a lot of seats. Also, the portion for each dishes are big, donât have to worry not eating enough. The staffs are very friendly. The bread is toasted well, itâs just a tiny bit salty, but still tastes good. Itâs free so you can eat as many as you want! Seafood spaghetti is nice because it has a lot of seafood in there, not like some pastas not including a lot of fillings. However, the taste is not so strong, hope it can be a bit stronger. Otherwise, itâs a good dish! Salad is average. I like the fishermanâs basket the most, perfectly fried, and fresh seafood! The sauce included also tastes very good. The chips are a bit dry, but still tastes fine. Overall, good experience and Iâll visit this restaurant again. I havenât had chance to try their steak and other seafood selections on their menu.
