Ricks Garage Dinner

Ricks Garage was originally a petrol station and workshop and over the years was transformed into one of the most popular restaurant destinations on the Sunshine Coast.
Known for its retro diner, burgers, great service station and live music, pretty much any day is a good day to visit Ricks. All ingredients are sourced locally and made in-house by the kitchen staff. Food is quick, service is tops, and the craft beer on tap is cold and refreshing.
Don’t forget to check out the recent additions to this expanding empire, with the Whiskey Bar upstairs and the Bakehouse servicing delicious coffee and baked goods next door. Friday nights dress up for rockabilly and live music. And on the weekends expect to be swamped by hot classical cars and bikes and car clubs from all over make it a point to visit Ricks on their way through.
