Poppies Restaurant - Yeppoon

We decided to dine at this restaurant primarily because it was conveniently located near our accommodation and we were tired from walking all afternoon. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We opted for the 3-course meal option priced at $45 per person. I enjoyed the lamb medallions, slow roasted rib on the bone, and cheesecake, while Mr. G had oysters, barramundi, and pineapple tartlet. Our only complaint was the delay in taking our dessert order, as well as the limited availability of the cheesecake. Despite having to remind the staff about our dessert, it was worth the wait and tasted delicious. If our dessert experience had been smoother, I would have given this restaurant a higher rating.

I have been in Yeppoon for a few years now and have only just been to Poppies. The food was AMAZING! we had the pork belly and it was fantastic. Lamb was also good, was a little too pink inside but still delicious.

I have been in this town for 9 odd years now and given local experience I did not expect this to be so good. The food was Devine and the service great. The atmosphere was fine also. I will return.

Just had dinner tonight with four friends and must say we all loved the food. We have all left feeling very satisfied. Compliments to Jake the Chef for a creating an exceptional menu everything was cooked to perfection. The service from Donna our waitress was fantastic. All we can say it was a pleasure eating at Popppies and we will definitely be coming back...

While the deck is a lovely location for dinner especially on sunset it falls short.Venue:The restaurant shares the building with the RSL. In a different layout this "could" work however as the two very different goals of a RSL and three course restaurant have to share such a small space the loud amateur band, meat raffle sales and having to go to the bar for drinks makes this little more than a side show for the cheap drinks RSLs are known for.Service:The table was not set, no one was at the door to show us to the table and even the basics like having pepper in the pepper shaker we had to ask for was too much for them to handle.Food:Reasonably priced and cooked correctly overall if only based on the food I would give it a 4/5 rating. I'm sure when catering they likely do a good job.Summary:Missed the mark... maybe they need to negotiate with the RSL to lay off the loud music until the food service has finished.You need to be able to talk during dinner.
