Rick Shores at Burleigh is simply exceptional. From the moment you arrive, the service is warm, attentive and effortlessly professional — you feel looked after without it ever being intrusive. The ambience is hard to beat: ocean views, natural light, and that relaxed Burleigh energy that instantly puts you at ease. It’s the kind of place where time slows down and conversation comes easily. And the food… outstanding. Thoughtful, beautifully presented and packed with flavour — every dish delivered. Rick Shores isn’t just a great restaurant, it’s an experience. Consistently impressive and a place we’ll always come back to. Thank you Anthony Clark

Two local senior ladies were craving a Bug Roll and a glass of Rose, so headed to Rick Shores to sit outside and do so. We arrived just after opening at 11am to secure a table, but were offered a bar table inside. It was perfect with fabulous views of the 🏄‍♂️ and 🌊. We ordered the Fried Moreton Bay Bug Roll, Sriracha Mayonnaise, Gem Lettuce, Brioche Bun ($26.00) and a glass of French Rose. This was followed by Spiced Shiitake San Choy Bau, Water Chestnut, Pickled Enoki Mushrooms ($12.00), so delicious I forgot to take a photo. Next, we tried the Lobster & Prawn Jade Har Gow, Smoked Honey Truffle, Chilli Oil ($20.00). Our server, Sammy, made the experience as she was professional, attentive and engaging. Thanks Sammy! Overall, we couldn’t fault anything. The food is always excellent, the ambience was relaxed coastal and the views fantastic. We’ll be back again soon.

Wasn’t sure what to expect for an asian fusion restaurant but was pleasantly surprised. The view is a given but thought that each dish was carefully crafted and had a multi-dimensional layer of taste to it. It truly belongs in a different tier and the one chef’s hat is well deserved. Our server, Adam was attentive, friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. A must visit if you are on the Gold Coast.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rick Shores is an ABSOLUTE MUST-VISIT! 🤩 Seriously, stop what you're doing and book a table here. I am still dreaming about this place! First off, the view is unreal, right on Burleigh Heads, you can't get a better spot to soak up the Gold Coast vibe. Now for the food. There are two things you must order: the Roti and Burrata and the Moreton Bay Bug Roll. That Roti and Burrata starter is ridiculously good, and the Bug Roll is famous for a reason, every single bite was an explosion of perfectly delicious, well-balanced flavours. Honestly, everything we tried was faultless! But the absolute cherry on top was the incredible hospitality. We were looked after so well. A HUGE shout-out to Lachie, he was an amazing host! He was super friendly, made us feel so comfortable, and ensured we had the best possible experience. Give that guy a raise! 🙌 Go for the food, go for the view, but stay for the whole fantastic experience. You won't regret it!

Rick Shores is an amazing restaurant that really has it all. The food is delicious, the staff are so friendly and the view is astonishing. We were fortunate enough to have a beach front view that felt like you were looking at a postcard! Our waitress Elizabeth was a breath of fresh air that added so much to our experience. She was very personable, had a great knowledgeable of the menu and made excellent recommendations about the food and activities in the area as well. You are lucky to have her. The food was amazing and we loved the flavours and the creativity. The salmon spring rolls were an unexpected highlight, with the avocado cream pairing just delightful. The super light housemade roti is an absolute must to soak up the sauce from one of their delicious curries. We had the coconut prawn curry and it was divine. The signature Moreton Bay bug rolls are delicious as they look, and the Phoenix Wagyu in the truffle honey sauce is a must try. A beautiful location with amazing food and staff. Well done Rick Shores, thank you for a wonderful experience that we won't forget.
