Why it's worth checking out
Hurricane's Grill & Bar sits on the Esplanade in Surfers Paradise, right by the beachfront in the heart of the Gold Coast's most famous precinct. Part of the well-known Hurricane's name, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality steaks and — most famously — its renowned ribs, the kind of hearty, crowd-pleasing grill fare that's become a genuine favourite for a serious feed, with a great beachfront setting to match.
The appeal is that combination of quality steaks, the famous ribs and a good drinks offering in a relaxed, buzzing setting right by the beach, ideal for a hearty dinner, a group meal or a celebratory feast. Its reputation for generous, quality grill fare — especially the ribs — has broad, enthusiastic appeal, and with its prime Surfers location, Hurricane's has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 3,000 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront restaurant fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or visiting Surfers in peak season.
