Eat Like a Local in Home Hill

Forget the fancy guidebooks—if you really want to taste a town, follow the locals. In Home Hill, the food story plays out along the Main Street, where family-owned spots dish up big flavours, hearty feeds and plenty of character. From seafood rolls to steak burgers, here’s where to eat like a local.

The Prawn Shop
It’s hard to walk past this one. Famous for its prawn rolls—the kind that made national television—The Prawn Shop is seafood royalty in the Burdekin. The menu dives deeper, with crab and lobster rolls, gluten-free options and fresh local produce that keeps the flavour front and centre.

Marzay’s Corner
A Home Hill staple, Marzay’s serves the kind of comfort food that hits the spot every time. Think pizzas, burgers, hot dogs, steak burgers, fish and wraps—the works. It’s casual, reliable, and the perfect place to roll in hungry and roll out satisfied.

Giovanna’s Cucina
Ask around the Burdekin and everyone knows about Giovanna’s lasagne. This family-run Italian kitchen has a reputation that stretches well beyond Main Street, with travellers stopping in for hearty plates of pasta, traditional flavours, and a menu cooked with care. If you want Italian like Nonna makes, this is where you’ll find it.

Dee & Vee’s Takeaway
Eleven years strong, Dee & Vee’s is the no-fuss takeaway joint locals swear by. The menu is short, sharp and perfect: fish, chips, burgers. Done. Their steak burgers are the stuff of local legend, and there’s a reason this little shop has been feeding Home Hill for over a decade.

Home Hill News
More than just your average newsagent. Coffee, brekkie bites, sweet treats and a spot to sit inside for a chat—Home Hill News is where locals fuel up in the morning or break up the day. It’s as much about the yarns as the cappuccinos, and that’s exactly what makes it feel like home.

So, next time you’re in Home Hill, skip the highway stopovers. Wander Main Street, follow your nose, and eat like a local.
