RICK'S GARAGE - An American Style Diner on the Sunshine Coast

Alright, gearheads and burger buffs, listen up! If you’re itching for a road trip that’ll fuel your passion for classic cars and motorcycles while treating your taste buds to some American diner classics, then Rick's Garage in Palmwoods, QLD, should be at the top of your list.


Picture this: You’re cruising down the open road, sun on your face, with the rumble of your engine as your soundtrack. You’ve got one destination in mind—Rick’s Garage. This place isn’t just a café; it’s a full-on trip back in time to when cars were built to last and burgers were meant to be devoured with gusto.

As soon as you roll up to Rick’s Garage, you’ll feel like you’ve driven straight into a vintage postcard. The place is decked out with all the retro flair you could dream of: neon signs, motoring memorabilia and more chrome than a '50s car show. Classic cars and motorcycles are the real stars here, with a wall art vibe that makes you want to snap pics from every angle. It’s like stepping into an old-school car magazine—except you can actually sit down and enjoy it.


But let’s talk about the food. Rick’s doesn’t just stop at eye candy for car lovers; they’ve got the goods when it comes to grub, too. The burgers? Oh man, they’re juicy, cheesy, and cooked to perfection. Think thick patties with all the fixings you’d want, from crispy bacon to melty cheese. And don’t even get me started on their fries—golden, crispy, and impossible to resist.

And here’s the kicker: Rick’s Garage isn’t just about the cars and the food. It’s about the vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can swap stories with fellow enthusiasts, ogle some sweet rides on weekends, and just soak in the nostalgia. Whether you’re rolling up in a classic Mustang or a daily driver, you’ll find yourself right at home amidst the chrome and the retro tunes.


So, next time you’re planning a road trip and want to hit up a spot that celebrates the love of cars and great eats, Rick’s Garage in Palmwoods is your go-to. Trust me, this place is the perfect pit stop to get your fill of both classic cars and classic diner fare. Buckle up, hit the road, and get ready for a burger experience that’s as epic as a cruise down Route 66. 🚗🍔✨


Safe travels and happy eating!
