Walter’s Diner

The humble sandwich has come a long way since the days of two slices of bread with deli meat and lettuce stuffed between them. Recent years have seen the simple sandwich receive a gourmet makeover. Think—thick slices of freshly baked sourdough, an endless array of unique fillings and levelling it up by slathering it in butter and toasting it to crispy perfection, if you so desire.

The Sunshine Coast sanga scene just got a new player in town. Say hello to Walter’s Diner. Nestled away in an old-school, 1950’s building in the heart of Maroochydore, you’ll find this quirky, retro esque sandwich diner slinging up some of the best sangas we’ve had the pleasure of devouring. The bold blue signage attracts your eye and draws you in, but the smell of the freshly made-to-order sandwiches will entice you to pull up a seat and linger.

Sister venue to the recently-opened The Toast Office and powered by the intrepid Criminal Coffee Company, Walter’s Diner dishes up an extensive array of fresh sandos which will have you coming back again…and again. Keep it simple with the ever-classic Reuben combo—beef brisket, pastrami, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, house mustard and a fried egg—or mix it up and dig into the popular ‘Zohan’ with hummus, pesto, herbed roasted chicken, semi-dried tomatoes, spinach, feta and dill mayo. Walter’s nails their sandwich-stuffed menu, which also includes burgers, hotdogs, fries, sodas, shakes and coffee. It’s simple, it’s unassuming and it’s goddamn delicious.

We love that Walter’s Diner also offers great catering options, so the days of the unimpressive Subway catering sandwiches are now far behind us. If you’re looking for the best sandwich spot on the Sunshine Coast, you’ve found it.
