Amazing value for money. Was scared that the $9 burger would be too small but got pleasantly surprised by a delicious and huge burger. Double paddy for $2 was the cherry on the cake!

Absolute hidden gem on the Gold Coast. From the outside you’d never expect just how good this place is, but wow — Jones Kitchen seriously delivers. The burgers are genuinely delicious, the chips are spot on, and the serving sizes are massive. Proper comfort food done right. It’s got that classic workers meal / cafe food vibe, but with way …
