Port Douglas has a large choice of restaurants but most of them are not cheap. If you are looking for an evening meal under A$80 for two, the choice is extremely limited. We had a visiting teenager with us so we walked the entire main street before deciding to go here and I must say that our expectations of the food were not particularly high.

We decided on steak and fish dishes and must say that we were not disappointed. The steak was cooked exactly as we had ordered and the size was more than adequate. The barramundi was excellent and while the chips were overabundant, they were tasty and not particularly fatty. At A$15 each they were good value meals.

For that price you also get the distinctive Australian atmosphere of the whole place. It is modelled on an Outback pub with wooden benches, sheet iron walls, beer on tap and good music. Just how authentic it is can be difficult to tell but most diners seemed to enjoy it for what it was. There is no sophistication and pretence, and probably no class, but we enjoyed it. It certainly has that authentic Aussie flavour.

You wouldn’t call it scintillating service but the waitress was friendly and talkative. She asked us if we wanted dessert and when we hesitated she suggested that the double chocolate pudding was very good. We were tempted and decided to share one. It was very rich but excellent and we left the table fully satisfied. The meal including drinks cost about $65.00.

The Iron Bar is open for lunch and dinner daily but is not particularly known for its food but more as a late night live music Mecca and for its cane toad races - a must see comedy show. The Ironbar Restaurant has live bands every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, on Thursday nights there is a live DJ's 'Coyote Ugly' Style and on Sunday's the Jim Beam Idol Karaoke Competition with great prizes to be won!

After dinner we spent a little time at the cane toad racing which was great fun. We all really enjoyed it and our visiting teenager especially when she was drawn to race a toad. She talked about it for ages afterwards.

I went here literally every night I was in Port Douglas, whether it was to have a Strongbow, dance to that week's live band (mostly good cover bands), sit at the outdoor bar and watch people walking by, cheer for the Cane Toad races that take place ...Read more
