We had a really enjoyable time here for dinner. The bagger on the fish and chips was light and crispy on it and fish well cooked. The garlic bread was fluffy and well toasted. The mushroom pasta was so creamy and garlicy.
Enjoyed the music and even played my first game of darts on their electronic dart board. Service was polite.
Will I be back? Yes- it looks like they have some decent lunch specials and happy hours.
Paul Chan and I have been bushwalking and fishing for hours until 6.40pm. Arriving at Briny’s at 7.30pm with a 50% discount voucher from The Fork, we are welcomed and seated among 10 patrons this Friday evening. I decide on four Seafood dishes and two sides.
*Fried Abalone ($40) is a serve of six nicely presented Baby Abalone lightly seasoned and dusted. They are a tad small but are tender and sweet. Rating: 4
*White Wine Black Mussels ($34) look appetising, cooked in a tomato based sauce. These Mussels are nicely prepared. I order a side of Garlic Bread ($9) to complement this dish. Rating: 4
*Chilli Prawn Spaghetti ($29) looks delicious with five plump prawns. Served with a tomato based sauce and Bacon strips we agree the sauce is excessively tart. Rating: 3.5-4
*Battered Calamari ($18) is a small serve of thick cut Calamari rings. Served hot from the fryer, this dish is popular. I order a side of Chips ($10) for this dish. Rating: 4-4.5
We enjoyed our meal here and wait staff are friendly and obliging. Menu prices are high so check out The Fork’s 50% discount offer!
We loved our dining experience at Briny! The food was well cooked, fresh and delicious. The service was lovely too. It is in such a random spot (an old igloo) but the decor is great and they have made what is a random spot into a cute and intimate restaurant. We would highly recommend to all! The photo has our meal for the night :)
It was the second visit since my first review four months ago. Co-incidentally, it is again a 50% food bill off deal. We placed orders of Tas. Pacific natural oyster (6), Chilli Deep Fried Abalone (3), garlic bread strips, Chicken Wings with Honey, Mussels and Pipi.
The first two dishes of oysters and abalone deserve thumb-up. Oysters are full and rich in flavour. Abalones should be the a-must dish to order. They are tender and tasteful. Chicken wings seem too sweet. Sauce of Pipi is delicious but pipis are slightly over-cooked. The sauce of mussel dish is different from last time but tomatoes base is not bad and good as the dips for the garlic bread. Overall experience is decent with the consistent production. CP ratio is good for the deal…. Cheers!

Had a 50% off bill offer dinner at this restaurant early this month. It was early evening time so it was not that busy at the time that we walked in. Ordered 3x oyster shooters in gin tonic and 3x spicy ginger & lime. Feeling is not as good as Bloody Mary but an interesting experience. White wine mussels is good, if we order some bread to go with it then this dish will be perfect. Spaghetti is al dente with the creamy mushroom. Home-made prawn spring rolls are crispy. Hero should be the deep-fried abalone. It was the first time to have abalone done in such way but they are surprisingly tendered. Overall experience is decent and recommend foodies to give it a go.
Lovely place for chillax, specially on the paito. Spent my afternoon in here with seafood cuisine, no doubt to come back with fds next time. Look forward to try the mussels, seems like very delicious on my next table.
fabulous nightgot lots of foodseafood pasta fabpartner had the scallops - fresh and still inventive sauces, the oysters were natural and great
what a super venue - would suggest the outdoor area behind the restaurant - private but sympathetic
went for a drink on friday evening
could not have been more pleased
lovely food, seafood - we had oysters and scallops with garnishes =>great!!
wine and beer to accompany!!
going back soon
Absolutely perfect! Interior is very warm and at the same time non traditional and creative. The food was absolutely perfect as well, the seafood platter that we ordered had amazing proportions for its price
Was hard to locate. Short walk from the Fortitude Valley train station. Was greeted warmly by the Taiwanese lass who cleared our groupon voucher and ushered us to our table. We had fish and chips and washed it down with a refreshing glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a lager. Fish was battered nicely, accompanied by an uplifting coleslaw and green salad along with a generous supply of piping hot thick cut chips that was salted just right.
The lovely owner came out for a chat and even showed us how fresh her oysters were. Another time perhap? Even without the Groupon Voucher, prices were really reasonable too.
I would highly recommend you to try this place if you'd like a quick, effordable and pleasant place for lunch or dinner. Suitable for couples, singles, families or groups. Lots of carparking available too beside the restaurant. Only negative was that it was a tad stuffy on a summer's day.
Food was nice and fresh, service was very great been here couple times already and they made the perfect beer batter! Would recommend the seafood basket.
Very good food, clean and tidy and well decorated. Good selection of beers and cocktails.
Not sure if I've been poisoned or there is something I don't know, but we were the only customers on a Saturday night.
Get on before it closes because it's something to experience. I recommend the abalone if you love prawn crackers.
