In pursuit of a unique customer offering, Prawn Star strives to maintain a fun, casual dining atmosphere for its guests, without compromising on its promise of fresh wild-caught, sustainable Australian seafood.

Built in 1988 and now attracting up to 1.4 million visitors annually, The Wharf Mooloolaba provides Prawn Stars with an iconic backdrop to grow even further, abundant with opportunities and the chance to share the charm of Australian seafood and hospitality to locals and tourists alike.

The restaurant sits within the shell of a restored fishing trawler – reflective of the team’s desire to keep the brand playful, whilst equally transforming patron’s experience as they are whisked away to a highly sensory, coastal dreamscape.
