What Lynn B likes about Cairns RSL:
Had a catch up with friends here,friendly service, the food was pretty good, i booked a table and would suggest doing that as they were quite busy. The food was very nice and pretty good value. View all feedback. What HDStripad doesn't like about Cairns RSL:
Pleasant place to eat outdoors at the quiet end of Cairns esplanade. Our meals were disappointing. Steaks ordered medium rare were horribly overcooked and dry, dumped on top of chips making the chips very soggy. View all feedback.

The Cairns RSL offers a diverse array of dishes beyond typical club food, providing a pleasant dining experience overlooking the Esplanade. While some reviewers were disappointed with the quality and speed of service, others found the food to be tasty and reasonably priced. The RSL's location and historical displays make it a convenient and interesting spot for visitors, even offering options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Overall, the RSL in Cairns seems to be a hit or miss for diners, with some enjoying the atmosphere and value, while others found the experience lacking.
