Stopped in on our way from Yeppoon to 1770 for our coffee break. Found this on Tripadvisor. What a fabulous cafe. The coffees were perfect, strong and smooth and just the right tempetature. (Hate cold or too hot). We enjoyed sharing a piece of raspberry cheesecake. Do yourself a favor and call in. View all feedback.

Got given 1 menu to share between 3 people. When we asked about the signature shakes, the whole reason we visited we were told they weren't doing them.

The food is amazing, the service is very friendly and very quick. If you love a good milkshake, don't go past The Empty Plate.

Great food. While not a huge menu, the food is well prepared and unless very very busy, presented in a timely manner. Very helpful staff

I began my meal with a dozen of the most delicious oysters I have had in a long time! They were shucked perfectly and as fresh as could be. After that, I enjoyed my main course.

The experience of driving across a tidal road enhances the genuine atmosphere of this seafood restaurant.
