Quick info
About Kookaba Restaurant
On High St in Saundersfoot, Kookaba Restaurant serves burgers, steaks and ribs alongside pizza and a run of exotic meat options including kangaroo, ostrich and barramundi. The Oz burger is a recurring menu item, and zebra burger also appears on the list, with gluten free options marked clearly throughout. Chips are cut thin rather than in the chip shop style, and cheese can be added to them. Steak remains a common main course order, and the bar pours margaritas in large portions alongside a selection of Australian wines. The room is decorated with hanging jellyfish lamps, netting and other Australian-themed props. It operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken, and opens daily in the evenings only.

Customer Review Summary
Burgers lead the praise, from the Oz burger to kangaroo and zebra burgers, which one gluten free diner called the best. Generous portions and friendly staff come up repeatedly. One reviewer found the steak chewy, another called the food very average and the cheese on the chips gross, and the enormous margarita was weak, though one diner liked the thinner chip shop style chips.

“Popular place with fantastic staff. The food was very average and cheese on the chips was pretty gross to be honest. Margarita cocktail was enormous but very weak because of it.”

“What a lovely place! Great portions, lush exotic food options and the friendliest staff. I’m gluten free and there were so many options, me and my partner had mix and match burgers, I had kangaroo and zebra burgers which were the best Burgers I’ve ever had as a coeliac! Gf options highlighted clearly on menu also which is fab, and a great wide selection. And the portions were generous and bellies are certainly full! we were served by Jules and Carmel who were so lovely and made sure we had the best food and time. There are great options for starters, mains and desserts. We had 2 lots of mains and deserts. The place itself was so lovely, fab decor, somewhere I’ve never been before and I loved the vibe! With the floating jellyfish lamps and hanging nets, and Australian themed teddies and props, all really captured a fab vibe! Thank you so much to Jules and Carmel and the staff at kookaba restaurant, would 100% recommend ☺️”

“OMG I am so full!! Food was amazing as always. This is always the best steak ever and the chips are so good. Pics really don’t do the food or the portion size justice. …”

“Amazing restaurant. The food was perfect - I had the Oz burger (highly recommended) and my partner as a vegetarian had the spinach and ricotta pasta. The portion sizes were incredibly generous, the flavours were sublime and the presentation …”

“I have been coming every year here since it first opened and Chris ran it. Always great food until a few years back after he had sold it and the food and service wasn’t so good and we tried it a couple of times and decided not to go back. However recently my parents went here and said it was nice again and so we tried it this week. I am not sure if it’s been taken over again by new people as we don’t recognise any of the servers but the service was great and the food was lovely. My steak was a bit chewy but probably my fault as I like it quite rare, however taste was great and we all enjoyed the food and we will be back again! So all good and I would recommend it for great service and lovely food. Oh and those chips were like chip shop chips but thinner - different and lovely!”
