About
Rio Vista Seafoods is a well-regarded fish and chip shop in Broadbeach Waters, Queensland, drawing a steady crowd with its casual dine-in setup and quick takeaway service. The shop carries a solid four-plus-star reputation across a high volume of visits, and the menu covers a broad spread, from the signature fisherman’s basket to burgers, flathead, calamari, Kilpatrick oysters, pineapple fritters, and garlic aioli that regulars tend to rave about.
Chip serves are notably generous, and the fresh fish on display sets an honest tone for what lands on the plate. The hamburgers are a firm favourite, built with fresh ingredients and a hearty patty, while the calamari and seafood combos make for a satisfying meal. There is also a small store on site stocking fresh fruit and vegetables, which makes the stop a little more useful than your average fish and chips run in the Broadbeach area.
The venue is family friendly with a kids’ menu available, and the accessible layout means it works well for groups of all sizes. Dine-in and takeaway are both catered for, and free parking keeps the experience straightforward. Pricing draws the occasional mixed comment, but the portion sizes and freshness generally hold up. Worth a visit if you are in the Gold Coast hinterland or staying nearby. Phone ahead for orders during the dinner rush.

I really love this place! The staff have always been super friendly. The half chicken with chips and gravy for $15 is a great deal. Support your local businesses!
Great stop by for quality seafood. I stopped by for a bottle of wine next door and pleasantly surprised to see this place. Kilpatrick oysters and calamari, refreshing salads. Took them to our accommodation to enjoy. So so very nice and tasty. The service was excellent here. Great communication. Well done Rio Vista!!!
Today for lunch, I treated myself to a delightful grilled fish burger that really lifted my spirits! I also brought home some oyster kilpatricks, which were decent, though they had quite a bit of BBQ sauce—maybe a little too much for my taste. Despite that, I’m grateful for the opportunity to try something new.
Food here is amazing and fresh. I got a hamburger and chips deal, burger was massive with fresh ingredients and pattie was delicious. My partner got the fish, calamari and chips and he enjoyed it a lot. Best garlic aioli I’ve tasted in a while! Great service, and very chill vibes. Would 100% recommend and definitely will be coming again whenever I’m in Gold Coast!
Excellent friendly service. Delicious flathead and chips. Perfect pineapple fritter. Fair pricing. Portion size right for just the two of us. This was the best takeaway food we had during our 5 nights at Broadbeach. Easy 6 min drive from our apartment.
Stop by here for fish and chips on Friday lunch time. Lots of locals visiting. Was quite busy but the orders were coming out pretty quickly. I ordered fisherman’s basket and everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The hot chips serving was huge and I couldn’t finish it all. They had lots of fresh fishes on display and all looked fresh. Not a bad fish and chips shop.
The MEGA BURGER Omfg. Get this. It is incredible. Went an hour before close and the staff were a bit sweary and a bit lewd. Maybe they didn’t see us sitting outside eating, but still. Overall…can’t miss this place for the feed
The display clearly said “Balmain Bugs – $2.75 per half.” I selected six halves and was charged $30. When I questioned it, I was told they were “freshwater ones” and more expensive, and that the correct price tag hadn’t been put up.
If the product is different and priced differently, it must be clearly labelled. Charging more than the displayed price without signage is misleading.
After getting home, only one half was noticeably larger than the others. As a regular customer, this feels very disappointing and damages trust.
