The food here is nothing short of excellent. I took a group of friends here before a night out and it was the highlight! We all ordered the shot glass oysters, that come in a delicious Bloody Mary mix. I also got some good cocktails at the bar. I think it was called a slippery lychee. So damn good. The wait staff are actually quite attentive to even though it was fairly busy. I know I’ll be back during the week when they offer some steak specials.
The Caxton Char Grill has been around for years and continues to serve up one of the best value steaks in Brisbane. Amongst many other dishes, the Rib Eye is probably my favourite. It does have a lot of juicy and flavoursome marbling (fat), but it tastes amazing. To accompany a meal there's a great range of tap beers and a well detailed wine menu. If you like a cocktail, share the Peach Sangria Jug... You will not regret it.
On busy nights the atmosphere is awesome. The place buzzes, and the staff manage to make you feel welcome and comfortable. If you're looking for a great steak in particular or just a really good lunch or dinner, give The Caxton a go.
Came here during the Seafood Festival. I did not expect that nearly all the tables were booked. Therefore, I, who came without booking, got a table at the outside seating. It was nice and tucked away from the crowds, but accompanied by the very bright shining sun. Yet, despite the corner seating and the crowdedness, it was not hard to find the staff members and place an order.
Ordered a big seafood platter to share with my friends. Costs me $80, but it was worth it. The platter had various types of seafood, from oysters, scallops, crumbed fish, calamari, Kilpatrick, and fresh prawns. The platter also came with fruits for the desserts. The platter can fulfil three hungry adults easily.
Overall, it was a great experience. I am amazed at the prompt service and the food. I would like to come back and try out different menus in the future.
An afternoon fishing session wading in the cool waters of the North Pine Dam have left us ravenous. At 7pm this restaurant is bustling and we quickly place our orders. A 25 minute wait and our dinner is served.
*Our 400g Rump Steaks are nicely grilled rare and medium-rare. Accompanied with crisp Beer battered chips and Coleslaw our meals are good, rating a 4.
*The BBQ Beef Ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and is served with Mash, Coleslaw & Corn. A generous serving of 2 ribs, Paul Chan and I have a rib each. This dish is impressive and rates a Perfect 5.
Service is friendly and all our requests are attended to promptly. The Caxton offers great value meals at Lunch and Dinner and is highly recommended.
Without shame and based on the fact we only eat here Monday’s and Tuesday’s, this place is way bang for buck. I generally get the market fish which is usually barramundi or snapper with kipflers, For $15 it’s a good bang for buck place. Service is generally good and they’re doing the place up. The Caesar salad with prawns is pretty epic too. It’s one of my favourite places to get it.
I always come here when there are half price specials on Monday or 2 for 1 prices on Tuesday. You honestly cannot go wrong with such awesome deals. The beef ribs are still my favourite at this place and the sauce they are braised in taste so good. Fulfills my meat crave every time.
We often take advantage of the Caxton's Tuesday 2 for 1 night, but I usually stuff myself and forget to write a review !. But tonight I have it covered, so always good service from the staff, explaining the 2 for 1 plus any blackboard special when you are seated. The steaks and ribs are what the Caxton is renowned for, but there is always other dishes like coral trout and lamp shanks as tonight's blackboard special. But I went for the 325gm rib eye and my partner the ribs. Both are served with choices of salad or coleslaw, jacket potato or fries, with choices of sauces.
The ribs are always beautiful and fall off the bone, my steak if I had one negative was slightly over my requested medium, but all in all great value and great meals. Would be really surprised if you did not enjoy these meals at the Caxton.

We visited the restaurant at The Caxton for lunch today (a Saturday). We were keen to try this well known pub while visiting Brisbane and we had a great time.
Firstly, we noticed and appreciated the excellent service from every single member of staff we encountered.
There is a large restaurant at the rear of the venue, from which you can just see neighbouring Suncorp Stadium. There is also a cafe/classic pub fare menu for another part of the venue.
We ordered the 'crab 3 ways' entree to share, it was excellent. Soft shell crab, crab cake & crab dumpling with matching sauces.
(Sorry, I forgot to take a photo & it was beautifully presented.)
He had the seafood marinara which was reportedly excellent.
I enjoyed the Thai style barramundi with green curry, which was very enjoyable. Not the fiery type of green curry I really enjoy at Thai restaurants, but nice and tasty, with beautifully cooked fish and crispy green vegetables.
When paying our bill we were given 2 half price drinks vouchers.
We wanted to purchase a restaurant voucher for our local friends, however they don't have these available, which surprised me for such a well known venue. (We bought one at the hotel across the road instead.)
Given its proximity to Suncorp Stadium, they offer special food and drinks packages for game days. Apparently they are very popular and are extremely busy on these occasions.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit on a quiet Saturday.
After visiting this restaurant twice, I have never been disappointed with their steaks. I've been to a few steakhouses around brisbane and this place knows hw to cook their meat. Regardless if you visit on a specials night or paying normal prices, they are consistent with the quality and quantity of food.
We always come here for the BBQ beef ribs on the special days as it's always good value for money. Delicious beef ribs that comes with a very nice BBQ sauce. Not overly sweet like how most places have it. The only down side would be the inconsistency of portion sizes. One day it would be huge and other days it would be substantially smaller. Also when we ordered it today the corn that came with the ribs was quite burnt which doesn't normally happen. You would expect that a place like Caxton wouldn't have passed it as acceptable. The steak here is also cheap on special days and pretty decent and tasty for an inexpensive steak. Will be back! Grizzly Bear
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.
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🍺

This place was pumping and they got our food out to us pretty quick considering. It was the first game of the season. Not many choices at all for gluten free, but the staff did make sure I had options, so that was nice. The steak was huge and tender. Overall a lovely pregame meal.
The manager Jenny is genuinely the best person i have ever had an interaction with. she is super caring and kind and makes sure that everyone is well looked after. she runs a tight ship and will be going back just for her. the other staff are brilliant and the drinks are delicious. love you guys xx
I had the rump steak, my fussy friend had the same.
Easily the best steak I have had in years, brilliant 10 out of 10. Worth every cent it cost.
Good staff, friendly and helpful.
I'll be back 😀😀😀😀

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.
My local Pub serving Rump Steak Specials for lunch and dinner. Good friendly service.
