Lunch on the second day of our trip was here. Maybe we're getting old but I felt the staff just seemed incompetent. We ordered our first drink at the bar, grabbed a couple of menus and thought we would sit upstairs as it might have been cooler to be told upstairs wasn't open and we couldn't go. That was ok so we found a table downstairs and as we were sitting down told we could in fact go upstairs if we wanted. We decided to stay downstairs as that seemed easier. We ordered our lunch and had another drink while we waited and waited and waited and waited for our meal to arrive. We both ordered naked burgers, which surprised the guy taking our order as he didn't seem to know that was an option on the menu. I had ordered a naked steak and mushroom burger and was expecting a piece of scotch fillet but got diced steak (not sure what it was) that was severely overcooked. Missing was the caramelised onion which was disappointing. My partner ordered a naked chicken burger and received diced overcooked chicken. The place seemed more suited to a younger crowd. We live and learn. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–40 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2
Excellent service, loved the lady onto the counter who attended her at the last minute. Food was sooo delicious. Highly recommended.
2 burgers and chips for $16, made with wholemeal bun and good amount of filling. I had chicken, hubbie had beef. Came with fries, nicely cooked and tomato sauce. Dessert - I had chocolate mud cake with chocolate mousse, vanilla ice cream, cream, chocolate sauce. Mud cake was not too rich, otherwise this would have been hard to eat, but managed to clean the plate.
I only gave this place a 3 because of the cost of lunch! It was $49 for 2 people and we had a cornfritter stack (2 fritters, NO SALAD or anything else except a little chutney ) and a coffee each! That's crazy expensive! Service was great, fast. the place is nice and clean and on a sunny day outside is nice, but just too expensive for me. Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Pleasantly surprised. Needed to fill in time and grab a bite so we stopped in. Sirloin, steamed veges & new potatoes in a light gravy with good service, good price & not too many people for a 3pm meal, made this an instant hit for us. Planning to be back... soon.

Nice place to go eat something fast. It's quiet and the attention was pretty good. Would definitely go back!
Quite a change from the seedy bar it used to be. Customer service was amazing and the Tuesday special of a main and a dessert for $30 is value for money. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a good hearty meal in Whangarei.
Worth a visit. Good service and 3 out of 5 meals were awesome while the other 2 was just ok.
Lovely service tonight. Rump steak...sirloin steak..grab one meals. Pure Chowder.
Didnt eat here but cool little place Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
