About
Red Hot Cod is a well-rated fish and chip shop in Burleigh Heads that manages to surprise first-time visitors while keeping the regulars coming back. The menu goes well beyond the classic battered fish, with Bali Bowls, Poke Bowls, Nasi Goreng, and Satay Chicken sitting alongside fresh calamari, oysters, and a solid burger lineup. The Bali Bowls in particular draw a loyal following, with the flavour combinations and generous serves earning repeated visits from plenty of diners, some returning several days in a row.
The fish and chips remain the heart of the operation, with premium fish prepared fresh daily. Crispy chips and perfectly cooked fish are a consistent thread through the feedback, and the Burleigh Box makes for a great shared lunch option. Gluten-free choices are available, and the kids’ menu makes this a practical spot for families.
The setup is casual and relaxed, with outdoor seating, a wheelchair-accessible entrance, and the option to dine in, take away, or order delivery. Beer and wine are available on site, and the shop is open every day from 10.30am to 7.30pm. For anyone after fish and chips in Burleigh Heads on a weekday afternoon, the early pricing until 3pm is worth knowing about.
Phone ahead for orders during the dinner rush.

Loved this place so much we went back 3 days in a row! The Bali bowls and burgers are so good! I had the tofu Bali bowl, it had so many flavours and so much delicious peanut sauce. The tofu burger was also amazing, again they don’t skimp on the peanut sauce which is a nice change. Love that you can have a beer whilst you’re there too. Now that I’m back in Sydney I miss the food.
Mind blown! 🤯 We were expecting fish and chips or burgers, but this place surprised us with Nasi Goreng and Bali Bowl on the menu! 🍜👌 As Indonesians, we had to try , it was love at first bite! 😍 The Nasi Goreng and Satay Chicken were absolutely delicious. The combo of Indonesian and Western styles worked perfectly. 👌 The staff were super friendly, and the place was spotless. We’ll definitely be back! 👍👍

Had the battered cod for dinner last night and it was excellent and so delicious. The chips and salad ($9.50 add on) were tasty but quite a small portion of chips, and when I asked I was told it’s just a ‘handful’ which felt a little light for the price. The Greek salad also came with the wrong dressing, which was a shame. The staff were friendly.
We shared the Burleigh Box and an extra piece of fish for light lunch. Delicious and fresh. Highly recommend!
Red Hot Cod Burleigh is unbelievable!
You can not go wrong!!!!
I still can’t believe their fish and chips are only $5 until 3pm — that price is insane for the quality you get. The fish is fresh, perfectly cooked, and the chips are crispy every single time. Absolutely amazing food, awesome value, and super friendly service.
If you’re in Burleigh, do yourself a favour and go — perfect every visit!
Overall it was okay, but slightly greasy and it made us feel not great after the meal. We’re also not sure we were given the correct fish we ordered. It was acceptable overall, but I wouldn’t be very keen to go back.
Wow ! What an awesome atmosphere and great customer service. We really enjoyed our meals especially the gluten free option. I finally got battered fish and chips 🙈 The young waitress was extremely accomodating putting something fun (monster trucks) on the tv for the young guy. We have come from Perth and made sure to stop in. Worth every penny and mile ❤️🌻
Food was delicious and fresh. Chips were cooked amazing, my fish burger was yummmm. We had our two dogs with us and they were more than happy to have them sit with us (outside) while we ate.
