Simple. Seared. Succulent. At OB真人视讯, we love a good steak—and, if you’re reading this article, you probably do too.
So we’ll skip the small talk and get straight to the juicy stuff: these are the Gold Coast/Kombumerri Country’s best steak restaurants, curated for your carnivorous pleasure in no particular order. Bon appétit.
kōst
3 Oracle Boulevard, Broadbeach QLD 4218
$52–195+ per steak (average $99)
If a single restaurant could claim ‘best steak on the Gold Coast’, kōst might be it. This sprawling 130-seat establishment flows from outdoor pavilion to booth and table fine dining—picture cream walls and stone tabletops, punctuated by pops of turquoise and gold.
The menu is equally elegant, split between cold dishes, like freshly shucked oysters and citrus ceviche, and an enticing line-up of ‘over embers’ cuisine. Yes, you could go with the grilled octopus or blackened hispi cabbage, but the real prizes here are the steaks: five choices, each equally mouthwatering.
Choose between the marbled tenderloin, MB5+ Wagyu rump, striploin, and rib on the bone—or, for something truly exceptional, go the signature dry-aged cut. Be warned: it’s the kind of char-grilled magic that might make eating steak anywhere else a disappointment. P.S. kōst is one of our top 25 Gold Coast restaurants. Check out the full list here.
Moo Moo The Wine Bar & Grill
2685 Gold Coast Highway, Broadbeach QLD 4218
$62 per solo steak / $105–200 per share steak (average $161)

Wine and Wagyu. Is there a better Friday night combination? Moo Moo has a restaurant in Brisbane too, but their Broadbeach venue—featuring a wine bar and grill—is the OG. With vivid neon lighting and a vibe that’s equal parts retro and futuristic, this ain’t your typical fine dining establishment.
The meat here comes in three cuts: MB3+ Black Angus short rib, served with a house Chinese sauce, MB6+ Wagyu brisket, and the signature spice-rubbed Wagyu rump cap roast—a whopping 1kg of MB6–7+ meat accompanied by potatoes fried in Wagyu fat. (For an extra layer of cool, the signature Wagyu is carved at your table.)
The Glenelg Public House
2460 Gold Coast Highway, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218
$40–80 per steak (average $60)
Travel south from Moo Moo, and you’ll arrive at the Glenelg Public House: dim lighting, rough-hewn timber, and exposed brickwork. It’s an homage to the British gastropub, featuring classic pub meals executed to fine dining standards.
The menu is unapologetically steak-obsessed (kind of like us). Yes, you could order the chicken schnitzel or gnocchi with truffled cream, but, with 11 varieties of steak up for grabs, why would you? The standouts: the 250g Wagyu eye fillet and highly shareable MB3+ Angus T-bone. Keep in mind that dishes are updated seasonally—book ASAP if what we just described made your mouth water.
Mike’s Kitchen
2 Gooding Drive, Merrimac QLD 4226
$32–46 per steak (average $38)
Steakhouses like kōst and Moo Moo are real white tablecloth joints. A little different. Expect a warm, family atmosphere paired with some of the best comfort food on the Gold Coast.
Housed in an iconic half-timbered building, this local favourite has been slinging up steaks since 1996. Choose between seven grain-fed options, including the very worthwhile 300g tenderloin eye fillet that we can't go past with the Cheddarmelt mushroom topping.
This article is technically about steak, but we couldn’t cover Mike’s Kitchen without mentioning its drool-worthy pork ribs. For a truly gluttonous evening, order the half-rack of ribs with the 300g tenderloin, followed by a decadent South African melktert.
The Loose Moose
Floor G, 75 Surf Parade, Broadbeach QLD 4218
$46–64 per steak (average $52)
delivers what’s on the label: a bumping vibe served hot over seriously good Canadian cuisine. If you think steak tastes better with a schooner of locally brewed beer, this Broadbeach steakhouse might be the right destination for you.
There are only four steaks on the menu, but it’s all that’s needed, especially when there’s MB5+ Wagyu rump in the offing. Also worthy of mention are the other Canadian-inspired options: smoked ribs, loaded ’dogs, and a solid assortment of burgers. (Gluten-free eaters, take note: the GF buns here don’t taste like cardboard.) Pull on your red flanny, grab a stool, and enjoy the neon-lit atmosphere—the Loose Moose is definitely worth a visit.

Nineteen at the Star
The Star Gold Coast, 1 Casino Drive, Broadbeach QLD 4218
$56–220 per steak (average $118)

Rooftop at the Gold Coast’s biggest casino, turns the glitz up to 11—think poolside dining, giant chandeliers, and sweeping views of the Gold Coast at night. Headed up by veteran chef Michael Crosbie, the menu here is appropriately impressive, featuring eye-catchers like shaved black truffle and $650 Beluga caviar.
The eight steak options range from a modestly priced MBS3+ Angus scotch fillet to an 800g dry-aged T-bone (grilled on an open flame), each served with a trifecta of mustards and sauces. The champion, though, is the sirloin: 400g of beautifully marbled Wagyu that’s pretty much guaranteed to melt in your mouth. If there’s one must-try steak on the Gold Coast, this is it.
Cavill’s Steakhouse
6 Bayview Street, Runaway Bay QLD 4216
$45–65 per steak (average $52)
If you think ‘’ and ‘Cavill Avenue’ is just a cheeky coincidence, well, spoiler, it’s not. Both steakhouse and party hub are named after the Cavill family, who opened their first Gold Coast business in 1925. Today, Cav’s is famous for its 60-day-aged steak—so much so that you can buy all cuts (and more) next door from .
You can’t go wrong with any of the five steak options available in the restaurant, but, if we had to make a choice, we’d go for the eye fillet from Yambinya Station. Not feeling like red meat? There’s plenty of pork, lamb, seafood and vegetarian options too. For a cosy winter experience, grab an outdoor table (rooftop or balcony), park yourself near a heater, and request a blanket.
Red’s Kitchen & Bar
The Prom, Sanctuary Cove Village, Hope Island QLD 4212
$39–68 per solo steak (average $56) / $79–149 per share steak (average $105)
Sanctuary Cove is synonymous with great restaurants, and keeps up the standard. This waterside steakhouse is all about contemporary AustralianAussie cuisine, with gourmet cheeseburgers and pies sitting beside beef carpaccio and freshly-shucked oysters.
The chargrill, though, is the hero here. The six solo steak dishes each come with a side of house slaw and a delightfully crispy polenta bar. If you’re dining with someone else, you’ll be able to choose between three share platters, including the Angus eye fillet brochette—600g of skewered steak, cooked sous vide filet mignon and finished on the grill. (If a 200g steak is more your style, book on a Thursday night to access the Steak Night specials).
Hurricane’s Grill & Bar
4–14 Esplanade, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217
$39–220 per steak (average $83)
From its second-storey location along Surfers Paradise’s Esplanade, has a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean—equally perfect for cold winter nights and sultry summer evenings. Inside, the vibe is a relaxed blend of taproom and restaurant.
Choose from seven steak cuts—sirloin, fillet, Scotch fillet, rump, rib eye, T-bone, and tomahawk—each with a garnish of greens. The two standouts are the MB2+ sirloin, dry-aged to mouth-melting succulence, and the monstrous 1.5kg tomahawk, both from producer . All steaks are grilled Hurricane-style, a Portuguese-inspired technique from founder Tony Teixeira.
Little Truffle
2444 Gold Coast Highway, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218
$160+ per steak
Image Credit: Little Truffle | Instagram
Last but not least, Little Truffle delivers French-style haute cuisine: think petite portions, delicate flavours, and beautiful plating (plus a seriously bougie atmosphere). This Mermaid Beach restaurant was founded by serial restaurateur and chef , and has won a plethora of awards since it first opened in 2010.
Expecting a menu stacked with expensive cuts of meat? Think again. Little Truffle has just two a la carte steak dishes—the Wagyu porterhouse, served with a perfectly balanced red wine jus, and the Wagyu steak special. If you get the four-course menu, you’ll also be able to choose the chargrilled Angus fillet (which, we must say, goes pretty well with the vanilla panna cotta).
