Rattle and Hum

Great place to eat--we just happened on it, before it got too busy...We don't eat meat and had no problems finding plentiful, delicous dinner there! Had a great smoked salmon pizza, which actually lasted through lunch another day! Great service, delightful kind of outdoor table, officially inside, but walls were open! Trendy, friendly and affordable!

One more thing--for the guys--you MUST go to the bathroom! I can't explain it, but it is a MUST SEE! One of the funkiest and most innovative mens rooms I have ever seen!

We will be visiting Cairns for the sixth time in August from Adelaide and always go to Rattle and Hum at least three times on our visits.
The prices are very reasonable and the serves are big and of course delicious.
The fact that the waitresses are models does not do any harm either!!

I've been there twice in august 2005. The reasen for our second visit was the first visit. Great meals and deserts. Great atmosphere. perfect, the place to eat.

The rattle and hum is still one of trendest restaurant / bars in cairns. It is always busy and has great music and pleasant atmosphere.
However due to the busy nature of the restaurant the service falls down.You must order at the counter and pick your meal up. Usually this provides no problem. But unfortunately this evening there were not enough staff members.So there was no table service for drinks which is normal. The very busy kitchen staff also produced two out of three meals wrong. Givivng us steaks instead of ribs.

Once the manager was informed he organised a very prompt replacement of the ordered ribs. With an apology for the mistake.

The ribs themselves are of an excellent standard both in taste and value.So although there were some minor service problems on a busy public holiday the meal was great and I will give them another go!

sorry for my bad english but i just want to say i spent a very good time , every nights with my friends.The waitress are very cool, thank you karen for you smiles, and for the food: good pizza.the music and billards are very cool. i hope i will go back in this pub.

We visited the Rattle & Hum one Saturday evening in early December 2004. The menu was extensive and when the ordered food arrived it was excellent value for money and the portions were huge. We can honestly say that we probably ate our best meal in Australia in the Rattle & Hum. We would recommend the place to any other visitors to Cairns. Not only was food great but the whole place had a brilliant atmosphere.

please could you let me know if John and Tracey still own the resturant and if Erin Oxford still drinks around Cairns?
