Rattle n Hum Bar and Grill is a fantastic spot for a casual, delicious meal. The portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable—great value all around. The atmosphere is cozy and family-friendly. Whether you're with the kids or catching up with friends, this place has something for everyone. We’ll definitely be coming back! Rattle N Hum Restaurant – Casual Eats with a View If you’re in the area and looking for a quick bite to eat, Rattle N Hum is definitely worth checking out. They offer a solid happy hour from 3 PM to 7 PM, featuring a great selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is laid-back and inviting, with fantastic views that add to the overall experience. One thing to keep in mind: depending on the time you arrive, the full menu might not always be available. There are times when they only serve pizza. While the pizza is decent—nothing outstanding—it’s still a good option if you’re just looking to relax with a snack and a drink. Overall, it’s a cool spot for casual dining, especially during happy hour. Great vibes, good service, and a nice place to unwind A few weeks ago, I stopped by this place, and I had completely forgotten to leave a review, until now. I was walking down the sidewalk when I saw a guy behind the counter making a pepperoni pizza, absolutely loaded with pepperoni. I’d never seen anything like it. Out of curiosity, I asked his name, he said it was Phoenix. Then I asked if he always made pepperoni pizzas that way, with so much on top. He smiled and said, “If it’s not like this, it’s not real pepperoni pizza.” So I told him, “If I order one, will you make it like that for me?” He nodded, and he did. That pizza ended up being the best pepperoni pizza I’ve ever had. Forget Chicago. Forget Buenos Aires. Sure, they’ve got great pizza, but not like this one. This is the place. The best pepperoni pizza I’ve ever tried, and I’ve tried many.

What a lovely pub, staff were great. The food was excellent, I had Fish tacos which were delicious & hubby had a steak (he was busy eating so I know he was enjoying it). The prices of both food & drinks were also outstanding. Highly recommend, we will be back there before we leave Cairns. Thanks

Good atmosphere and location. Food was a little over priced and portion size was very mediocre. $33 for steak and sauce wasn’t even included so $35 if you want sauce the meat was pretty bland and I got about a dozen chips so all in all I probably wouldn’t recommend this place.
