Top Picks At Forrest Beach Takeaway

Forrest Beach Takeaway has become the local go-to for fresh, satisfying meals served with heart. From fresh East Coast Spanish mackerel to homemade burgers and classic snack foods, this spot delivers all the essentials for a hearty lunch or dinner.

The fish is the hero of the menu. Sourced locally and bought whole, the team uses every part — fillets are battered, crumbed or grilled to order, using the bones and head in delicious stocks and skins for crab pot bait, and nothing goes to waste!

Then there are the chips. Crispy, golden, unforgettable, and you can get them covered in gravy, they’ve built a loyal following among regulars.

“Our customers reckon our chips are some of the best they've had. They're super crunchy and delicious! We also make our homemade potato scallops. We're always on the hunt for the biggest possible potatoes, and our customers LOVE them.”

The burger line-up is equally impressive. From house-crumbed chicken and steak to Spanish mackerel and homemade beef patties, each one is packed with fresh salad and generous fillings. The massive Reef and Beef burger weighs in at nearly a kilo. Want it in a wrap or sandwich instead? No worries.

For those after a lighter option, the Caesar Meal or Karaage Chicken Meal comes with chips and a drink, ticking all the boxes for a satisfying midday feed.

Calamari fans can’t get enough of the crispy rings, and the calamari wrap is a hunger-busting favourite. You’ll also find timeless takeaway classics like Chiko rolls, dagwood dogs, homemade spring rolls, and cinnamon-sweet deep-fried pineapple rings.

And if you’re in the know, don’t forget to ask about their ‘hidden menu’ specials like the infamous Cure Burger,

“We rolled it out as a hangover breakfast years ago. It had a bit of like a cult following, and we still get random people coming in asking if we do the 'Cure' burger still!”

Come down to Forrest Beach Takeaway, it's packed with local flavour, generous serves, and you can taste the love in every bite.
