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.

Absolutely love the chicken here! They do not disappoint with the tender and crisp! I can not knock the service or food after my multiple visits but I can say the waste is a little dissapointing, everything is served in disposables wether eating in or not! There are so many options for reusable and bio degradable and we are all well educated on the impacts of waste, it would be nice to see them take some initiative in that area but everything else is spot on!
