About
Spencer’s Seafood in Highland Park is both a fish and chip shop and a working seafood market, which gives it a character you don’t find at every suburban takeaway. The shop picked up the 2024 Best Seafood Award and 2024 Best Burgers Award, and with well over 200 reviews sitting at a solid four-plus stars, it has clearly built a loyal following across the Gold Coast region.
The menu covers the classics alongside some serious crowd-pleasers. The Seafood Basket is a firm favourite, and the burgers, including options made with scotch fillet, have earned a reputation for being generously sized and genuinely good. Family Packs and combo deals make it an easy choice for groups, and the kids’ menu means younger diners are well looked after. Regulars note the chips are delicious and the grilled fish draws repeat visits from families in particular. Specials are considered strong value compared to nearby options.
Spencer’s runs as a casual dine-in venue as well as takeaway, and delivery is available including no-contact options. Outdoor seating is on offer, the car park and entrance are wheelchair accessible, and dogs are welcome, which adds to the relaxed, open atmosphere. Free parking and a convenient location off the M1 corridor make it easy to get to from surrounding suburbs.
Open for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday, and for dinner on Mondays and Tuesdays. Phone ahead during the dinner rush to avoid a wait.

We are from Burliegh and have just moved to the area, and we’re looking for a new local fish and chip shop!
I can tell you we just found it!
This place has the ratings and the food to back it up, yes well worth it, and their attention to detail in presentation, even in cardboard boxes, fantastic! $50 pack plus a handful of extra potato scallops, and extra piece of flat head crumbed! The Chips were nice and tasty (add your own salt), even tried the pineapple fritters, lovely!
Great little corner fishing and chips store tugged away by the side street to M1. Kinda odd to see the only food store along this stretch of the roads, but they are there. I had a burger with the lot with Scotch Fillet. It was cooked well. Flavoursome but light on the taste buds. It was packed good in a paper wrap then in the burger box. I’d personally would have forego the box and just have it with the wrap. Anyhow, it’s worth the $15 price tags. The store is clean and the fish looks fresh at least it was NOT presented watery in the stainless trays. I would probably give 4.6 so 5 is the closest score I can put down.
Excellent and friendly service. The young man who served us today was very patient and kind. Food was tasty and the kids could not have enough of the grilled fish and delicious chips!!! We also noticed a board of paid forward meals for anyone who might walk in there hungry and without some money. What an awesome way to serve the community around you, thank also to all the people who have paid these meals forward, the world needs more of this!!!
Fantastic little fish&chip shop run by some great friendly people. The specials are super cheap compared to anywhere else in nerang. Spencer’s also do amazing huge delicious burgers as well! Do yourself a favour and get down there and grab yourself a bargain! Highly recommend. Support local. (This fish and chips is only $6 on a monday)
Lovely staff, tasty food and good atmosphere. It’s also a really nice touch that they have community paid orders to help those who are struggling in need. I highly recommend the fish of the day with chips. Portions are reasonable and just what you’d expect.
Very disappointing result, one piece of dory grilled and piece of dory crumbed, both pieces lucky to be 4 inches long, with the grilled piece soaked in oil (nearly fell through the paper bag, even though boxed) with ordinary taste and the crumbed piece l had very strong & ordinary taste, we don’t have a problem with spending for quality but nearly $40 for ordinary quality ☹️ Hi again 👋I should have clarified with a minimum chips & the two pieces of dory, I checked our bank statement for a total of $35.50 so the best part of $40, not a concern too us if the quality & taste is there (nothing wrong with our taste buds either) we certainly wasn’t asked to choose our fish other than asked what we wanted to order and thats ok with us, it wasn’t delivered either considering your comment about it possibly being delivered by Raj? Even a lengthy delivery wouldn’t have caused the taste it had. Just to clarify the grilled piece being cooked as you said in garlic butter was on grease proof paper in a cardboard tray and in a paper bag, sorry I didn’t take photos but the butter went through all including the carry paper bag. Please on your advice & thankyou in regards to our potential relationship 🙏we have been looking for new local after highland park seafood closed and found it today at Mudgeeraba😋 thanks Rob😊
Have been enjoying food from Spencer Seafood for a couple of years now but the last few times I have been there they have really dropped the ball tonight for the first time we ordered on a Monday night. The Monday night special 2 fish and chips $12
Sounded awesome so we ordered. This was probably the first time we didn’t leave a tip the fish was over cooked and i dry dry dry really it was like fish jurkey with burnt crumbs and the chips where very average. The prices have more than doubled from early last year and the food has gone down hill so sad.
The best burgers. Great specials. Good family business employing local staff.
Oh and the amusing review replies.
You can please some people some of the time but you can’t please all the people all the timr
