So why not come on down & have that catch up with friends you have been meaning to have, at the new look Runaway Bay Tavern.




Three of us went for lunch on a Tuesday. Bistro was very busy. Friendly bar and wait staff. Food was lovely, good quality and very large portion sizes. Husband said it was the best steak sandwich he's ever had. Just some suggestions, tables could do with drink coasters and extra serviettes and maybe more table configurations for 3 or 4 people.
My family and I came here randomly when looking for a place to eat and we made a very good decision! The service was great, staff were very polite and the food came out so quick! The meals we got were delicious and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was nice too, warm lighting and good music.
Had a great experience at the bistro in Runaway Bay Tavern. The meals were outstanding fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Service was excellent, with Hannah providing friendly, attentive support and going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She really added to an already enjoyable visit. Overall, a fantastic experience and we’ll definitely be back.
Hannah and Keta Are the best runaway bay tavern employees in the whole wide world. There’s no better place to come and have a beer and lose half your paycheck and then talk to these beautiful ladies afterwards. Come here for Delicious beer and plenty of pokies. Enough
Heard good things but was extremely disappointed in the food. 3 of 4 meals were barely touched. Upside. The atmosphere was ok. Nice music. Enjoyed the wings. Good dish to share with friends. Issues: The roast of the day was chicken. Chicken was so dry it was it was uneaten. Seemed like a cold chicken reheated. Chicken hamburger and chips - chips were good. Burger was poor. The patty is low quality. Uneaten Barramundi and veg - veg not cooked. Potatoes are uneatable, and they couldn't cut through them. Barra was fine. General comments - placed the order on the app. When wings came, we asked a question about it being the right sauce. We were told it was. It was obviously wrong. Took it back. The chef argued it was what we ordered. We asked to change it regardless. Upon returning to the table, we checked the app, and we had ordered the correct thing. Even if we hadn't, from a service perspective, it was no issue to change a little container with sauce in it. Why argue? There was one lady working the floor that had a clue. Well done to her. She was diligently cleaning, serving and checking outcomes. Highly likely, we won't return to this venue.
