Staff were sooo super friendly and provided great customer service!!! Harry, Davyn, Kayla, Nina and May, you guys are an asset to The Zookeeper’s Son & I hope you continue the great work you do and give on behalf of your employer!! Cocktails were reasonably priced and were tasty...namely the long island iced tea 😊 See you guys next time 🤗
Came here for lunch last weekend on a first table deal. The food and service was excellent. The food came out quickly after ordering and tasted delicious. They didn’t have some of the cocktail or food options available but the other options were just as good. Would definitely go again :)
We hosted a special bday at the Zoo on Sat Feb 29th. From the minute we made contact about the venue NOTHING has been a problem. Preeti and Lisa were so accomodating and made us feel so at home. Sian and Jess were our staff on the night and they were so professional. They kept the bar running quickly and smoothly, they checked in regularly to make sure things were all going to plan, but they were not in your face all night. They were just so friendly and lovely. The rooftop bar is a lovely place for an event on a warm afternoon. Thank to all the staff involved this that we didn't see like the kitchen staff etc. You helped ensure a very special bday run like clockwork.
We’ve enjoyed our time here at zoo keepers son. Wonderful staff and table service sitting outside. Jess was a great waitress suggesting options for food and wine. She was knowledgeable and friendly and because of Jess we will be back.
Hosted an event recently, was a great venue, with fantastic service and tasty food. Thank you Preeti for helping organise it and the bar staff from the night.
We were celebrating a family birthday and it was our first time at this pub. And what a lovely surprise it was. Our waiting team, especially May, was just superb. Super-friendly, thoughtful and accomodating, she served us efficiently and helped us to have a memorable celebration.
The food was exceptional value, very tasty and the servings were ample for our very capable appetites.
Thanks May and Team, we'll be back soon.
Hosted an event here on a Sunday afternoon. Staff were super helpful and nice. It's such a lovely venue and the food was great too! Would definitely recommend for events.
This place was pretty lit on a Sat night. I had the Ringmaster's Mess to share with a mate and it fed us well. There was live music playing which was loud enough to negate any meaningful conversation unless you started shouting haha. The candles on the tables were nice and overall felt good vibes here 👌
Xanthe and her team was on the ball from start to finish. Very helpful and understanding with all our special request. I've only heard everyone gossip how awesome to the event was at The Zookeeper's Son, so well done. Keep doing what your doing, because you are rocking it.
Food is absolutely delicious! Enjoyed the buffalo wings and cheesy pizza bread the most. Loaded burger had nice fresh garnish and a smokey taste. Prawn linguine had a zesty finish. Thanks team!

The food was great. Pizza tasty. Fries crunchy. Onion rings perfect. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Pity the coffee machine broke down. However, the food, cheeky waitress, and warm ambiance more than made up for it. I do recommend this place.
2nd visit to the Zookeeper's Son with #fastfoodfriday and #foodiebumz crew Fri 29th September. Was told after our order was taken that they had only 1 Sirloin as we wanted two. No prob. An extra chicken schnitzel was ordered. Krispy Korean ribs were tender and falling off the bones. Sauce was a bit too rich. However, it was still tasty. Wings are 99c on Fridays, so a dozen of them went down well. Pank crumbed Scallop bites delicious. Chicken schnitzels with chips and salad, Sirloin and nachos well received by the crew. Desserts Apple and Rhubarb crumble Citrus Cheesecake and chocolate Brownie slice. Cheesecake base could've been more crumbly not soggy. Citrus taste was refreshing. Wait staff smiling and helpful. Still can't believe there was only one Sirloin steak at the start of a dinner shift. Anyhoo nice job Zookeeper's Son.
7/10 coconuts 🥥 on the island scale. 👌🤙
Saturday nights are my fave the band from.9pm til midnight and the bottomless chicken and waffles and beer and prosecco for $45 is a good start to a Saturday night 😁
The food was Amazing, the service though...it was phenomonal. We had Tikara serving us. She was so polite and made sure we were all comfortable. Thank you zookeepers :)
Would definitely come back again.
Our first time at this stunning & unique restuarant which offers free parking! - huge bonus! 😆 The food was superb & prepared to our liking. Great atmosphere with wonderful service, especially for my little one. Will definitely be back. Well done Lisa & your amazing team for making us feel at home👍🙂
Does anyone appreciate what light is? I do. I found it. Here. At Zoos. With Shay.
Guys if you’re thinking about coming down here just remember we are spending our hard earned coin on a night out. Shay was not only present but he set the atmosphere for what was our best night out. Attentive, considerate, and most of all understanding.
We went of the menu, which in its own deserves a 5 star review. The food the atmosphere but most of all Shay, was our highlight of our night.
My family and I will be back.
Shay thank you 🙏🏾
Been here a few times but the staff, atmosphere and beers were exceptional tonight. Alex was a standout. He served us in a timely manner even though he was quite obviously busy. Appreciate the communication and the whole night was just choice! Will be back for some more cold beers and the best garlic pizza in town.
We booked the rooftop bar for a 30th birthday and right from booking all the way through to the party the experience was awesome!
Thank you to our amazing bar staff for the evening - big ups to Shay and Emma! Absolutely lovely and helpful humans. We’d love to have them for an event again!
Friendly and efficient service, excellent food and drinks made. Great outdoor seating, pleasant interior decor. Spacious, good selection of music not too loud. Apparently they have Tuesday quiz nights, bottomless chicken and waffles on weds for $45, 2 hours max and live band on weekends. Decent amount of parking around the back especially for a week day :) This place sounds like it's packed full of fun and flavour for everyone :) We'll be back.
First time @ Zookeepers. Slow Tuesday night in the restaurant but nice if you want quiet. Ordered ribs, cheesy garlic pizza & warm lamb salad which arrived in around 10 mins. Kai was reka and priced accordingly. The kai reminds me of Woodside in Manukau. Highly recommend people try this place.
