Howlin' Jay's - Cairns

The service is fantastic, and the chicken is incredible! It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy an afternoon or evening filled with drinks, fun, and delicious food. Definitely a place worth checking out!

I visited this restaurant over the weekend while I was in town from Townsville, and I was recommended to check it out. The staff were fantastic and enjoyed sharing some laughs with their playful banter. The atmosphere was great with good music, and the food was excellent, especially with $12 beer steins. I highly recommend trying the chicken and waffles—though it may sound a bit odd, it's absolutely delicious! Just keep in mind that they only serve it on weekends.

Finally, I’ve found the best fried chicken in Australia! You can enjoy authentic American fried chicken without the need to travel all the way to St. Louis. The service is friendly, and for anyone who has experienced top-tier fried chicken at Hodak's, you’ll absolutely love the tenders and genuinely impressive wings here. Those who claim it’s overpriced should consider that if you want quality American crispy fried chicken like this, your next option is to fly to LA, connect to Chicago, then St. Louis, rent a car, and hunt down Hodak's.

Friendly staff. Not long after ordering our meals, they were brought out to us. The Sl*t’s were delicious, great on a hot day. Would recommend.

Omg. Heaven in my mouth. The perfect blend of spicy and sweet. They have nailed the spicea. Delicious drinks and cocktails as well. Service is impeccable. Atmosphere is inviting. The music choice is fun and funky. Got to try. Dont leave Cairns without trying this.
