Planning a Grill’d run at Sunshine Plaza and can’t get a straight answer on when the store even closes? Is it 9 PM, 10 PM or 11 PM — because the websites genuinely cannot agree? Is the “menu” you found for this store real, or is half of it an Italian restaurant’s pasta list that wandered in by mistake? And what does the parking cost if you are pairing dinner with a movie? The public information for this store is a genuine mess. So what are the facts?

Grill’d Sunshine Plaza is at Shop GD 158A, Sunshine Plaza, Horton Parade, Maroochydore QLD 4558, in the Riverwalk dining precinct. It opens at 10:30 AM and closes at 9:00 PM every day. Call the team on (07) 5443 6000. Centre parking is free for 3 hours. The full menu with prices is below.

Grill’d Sunshine Plaza at a Glance

The essentials first, all in one table.

Opening Hours

The simplest hours table in this whole series — the same times, every single day.

Two things to know. First, the store trades until 9:00 PM every night — hours after the centre’s shops have closed, because it sits in the Riverwalk dining precinct. Dinner here does not depend on shopping hours. Second, treat directory websites with suspicion: some still list this store as closing at 10:00 PM, and one even shows an 11:00 AM opening. Both are wrong. The store’s own hours are the ones above — and the delivery cut-off backs them up, with DoorDash taking last orders at 8:40 PM. And because this is Queensland, the times are AEST all year — no daylight-saving shifts, ever.

Where Is Grill’d Sunshine Plaza & How to Get There

The store is inside Sunshine Plaza — the largest shopping centre on the Sunshine Coast, at 154–164 Horton Parade, Maroochydore — in the Riverwalk dining precinct on Cornmeal Creek, near the 12-screen BCC Cinemas. The store itself was recently refurbished, so it carries the chain’s fresh new look. Note the suburb: this is Maroochydore. Some review sites file it under Mooloolaba — Mooloolaba is a different suburb about 3 km south (this is simply its closest Grill’d).

Driving? The centre is about an hour north of Brisbane via the Bruce Highway and Sunshine Motorway, and around 15 minutes from Sunshine Coast Airport. Centre entrances run off Plaza Parade, Horton Parade and Amaroo Street.

Parking? This is where Sunshine Plaza is genuinely generous. There are 4,800+ ticketless spaces, and the first 3 hours are free. Enter after 6:00 PM and parking is free as well (exit before 2:00 AM) — which makes a dinner run cost nothing to park. Headed to the movies? Cinema patrons get a 4th hour free by validating their ticket. A $300+ centre spend, validated at Customer Service, also makes parking free.

Bus? The centre’s bus interchange sits on Horton Parade by the cinema entrance, served by Translink routes. Plan the trip in the Translink app.

Taxi? There is a taxi rank by the Coles click & collect bay, and the information desk can call one for you.

Grill’d Sunshine Plaza Menu & Prices

The full Grill’d range is on the menu here: beef burgers, chicken burgers, Healthy Fried Chicken, wagyu and lamb, chips, sides and shakes. And this store’s own most-ordered list has a clear personality — it is led by the chips.

Chips at number one AND number three, with the classic burger in between — this store snacks like it means it.

From there, the range spreads out:

A familiar warning: delivery apps set their own prices, and some of theirs sit above the prices above. And one more: a certain menu PDF floating around for “Sunshine Plaza” mixes an Italian restaurant’s pasta dishes into the Grill’d menu — if a price list shows you a A$50 pasta at Grill’d, you are reading two restaurants at once. For the complete menu with the prices we track and update, see our full Grill’d menu with prices page.

What to Order at Grill’d Sunshine Plaza

This store rates 4.3 stars on DoorDash from 100+ ratings, and its most-ordered list tells you exactly how to play it.

The Famous Grill’d Chips (A$8.90 regular, A$6.90 snack) are the headline act here — hot, herbed and holding two of the top three spots. Pair them with the Simply Grill’d (A$16.90): grilled beef, salad, relish and herbed mayo, the classic the chain was built on, sitting at number two.

Going bigger? The Big Queenslander (A$21.90) makes this store’s top five too — a fully loaded beef burger that suits a post-shopping appetite. And the sweet potato chips (A$10.50) at number four are the centre’s own website’s shout-out for this store, so the locals clearly agree.

The classic Sunshine Plaza move, though, is dinner and a movie: the store sits in the Riverwalk precinct right by the 12-screen BCC Cinemas, parking is free after 6 PM entry, and cinema patrons get an extra free parking hour — burger first, film after, nothing to pay for parking.

Delivery & Takeaway from Grill’d Sunshine Plaza

Two notes. This store does not take pickup orders through DoorDash, so to collect, order in store or by phone. And for catering or a group booking, the store’s official page does not list those services — the reliable move is to call the team on (07) 5443 6000 and ask them directly.

Local Matters at Grill’d Sunshine Plaza
