When you enter the OOM Energy Roadhouse at Wulguru in north Queensland you will immediately notice the eatery area is different to others.
The theme takes you back to a long-gone era of those retro days of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The restaurant is aptly dubbed the “Retro Highway Restaurant” and a driver from Deniliquin in NSW told Spy about it.
“I had a meal there the other day and enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great with all the retro stuff,” he said.
When I visited, a road train was parked outside but there is limited space for heavy vehicles.
It is also located right next to the popular Stuart Hotel.
I spoke to manager Sujidh Balan who said about 10 truckies a day stop there.
“They often order either a hamburger with chips for $16 or a rump steak.”
The roadhouse employs 10 staff and its retro items came from Melbourne.
It is open daily from 4am until 10pm.
