We decided to take our 2 kids (9 and 3) to get a tasty milkshake and snack on our way through Kingsland and my husband found this gorgeous and quirky little place. We had Oreo milkshakes (sooo good) the lamb sandwich and the veggi burger (which was just perfect). We unfortunately had to wait quite a while for our food to be delivered but the owner was very apologetic, explaining that the computer system had gone down and our order didn't get through to the kitchen. That aside, we would definitely return to try another flavour milkshake from their large and adventurous range of scrummy flavours.
Wow, what a lovely place to eat, menu choice is fab and food was delicious. I definitely recommend trying the milkshakes and desserts too! A hidden gem. Hopefully they will franchise out to other cities as they are on to a winner.
Grill and shakes has a lot of milkshakes option and tried several of them and they’re all really good; it’s worth the money! They also served it quick and oh friendly as well!
Went in for lunch on Friday and we were the only customers there, felt a bit strange considering how popular Kingsland is as an eatery.
The service was decent, the lady at FOH was attentive and the food came out in good time.
We ordered the Cheezeburger and Delux Veggie burger. Both tasted like a good old home-made burger with nothing over the top fancy, which we enjoyed.
We’ve heard of this place before but came to try it because of Zomato Gold, wouldn’t mind coming back again to try their shakes :)
The shakes are really good here. Tried the dairy milk one and it was awesome. Burger was alright but this place is all about the shakes! Recommend for a late night snack or light meal.
nice food, good place and kids area is so handy for parents, it’s upstairs and took a little while for finding the lifts which is on the other side, but overall nice experience
Love this place, especially now that they are open late! It's so awesome to have such a large range of shakes using every day snacks. Cool concept, cool delivery and cool service. Highly recommended. For a casual treat in Kingsland. And they got awesome burgers too. A truely unique institution and not an attempt at hipsterism.
Been here for shakes a few time. They have a good selection of different flavours and prices are pretty decent. The shakes are pretty big so they are quite filling too which is perfect when you just need a little pick me up or snack.
My favourite shake was the snickers one.
Good food and good price.
Ambience can be improved but still acceptable being in the city center
Parking is an issue so its better to use public transport. Just opposite to kingsland train station and bus stops. Handy location for public transport.
Didn't try shakes but they looked delicious.
Nice enough burgers and fast service. Had the gourmet chicken one and it was pretty tasty. Plenty of selection too which is nice to see. On the expensive side for burgers I thought though
We tried the Ferrero Rocher Milkshake. It was amazing, nice amount of hazelnut and really did taste like Ferrero Rocher! Nice amount of milk and ice, very refreshing and light. I would definitely return to Grill & Shakes to try their food and other milkshake flavours.
Quite a nice place tucked into Kingsland. There's nothing that special about this burger & shakes kind of place but these guys did a pretty good job of both the burger and shake. The chips were decent too. The shakes menu is extensive which was a plus.
Overall a good place to catch up, but nothing too fancy. Prices are also very reasonable.
Great flavor! The burgers and charcoal chicken was delicious and imma be a repeat customer for sure. The ladies working were lovely and wiped down the counter in the front for me since I had a stroller and couldn't go upstairs with it to the other dining area. Hopefully the flavor burst ice cream machine will be repaired because I really want to try it.
Great food, good shakes. The milkshakes were not quite what I was expecting, not as thick and full of chunks as I'm used to. But still delicious and filling. My husband got a lamb burger and it had some unique seasoning to it, very good and cooked well. He also enjoyed his shoestring fries. I got a Greek lamb flat bread, it was also very tasty, but a little messy to eat. I also got the kumara chips, very much like sweet potato fries and very good. I couldn't figure out what was in the dipping sauce, but I liked it. We went for an early dinner on a weeknight and had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Place was clean and pleasantly decorated. Highly recommend, but next time I would share a shake, a bit overpriced in my opinion.
Love their variety of chocolate bar shakes. Their burgers and fries are delicious. Consistent quality. Visit once a month and they often have new and interesting shakes to try. I recommend to everyone that loves a good shake or burger to go here. My only negative is the decor and tables... They could "shake" things up here 😉
Went here earlier in the year, amazing food. I had the spicy lamb and my partner had the vegetarian burger and both loved it. I had the Snickers shake and my partner had the Turkish Delight which were amazing. All up cost us just over $50 which isn't bad. I highly recommend and will be back in the future.
The food was great! Best milk shake I've had for a long time. The owner of the business made us feel comfortable the moment we arrived with the options available.
I could have given 5 stars if the waitress was more enthusiastic in serving their customer.
Will definitely recommend this place👍
Nice food but ventilation or setup not for setting a mood if you know what i mean. Upstairs seating is basic and its hot up there on a summers day. Shakes are great in variety and quality... overall worth the effort
Well known for their awesome freak shakes! Super delicious if you are wanting a sweet treat milkshake. Havent tried the food yet on the menu but will definitely have to next time i visit
All of the food we have tried (burgers, flatbreads, skewers) has been tasty and fresh and made with real ingredients, not super processed. But the milkshakes are worth a visit alone, they are simple but so good and there's a huge variety. Try the gingernut milkshake, it will change your life (you're welcome).
The food and the shakes are absolutely amazing and is definitely work a visit just for that. I had a bounty shake which was delicious and true to it's origins (the bounty candy bar), the popcorn shrimp (for which the batter could have been spiced better but with the sweet chilli sauce it was a great snack) and the potato skins with mushrooms (these were DIVINE). The service was wonderfully friendly in classic kiwi style. Only reason to lose one star is because the furniture is becoming used and is in need of an upgrade (theoretically should lose only half a star for this but google doesn't allow that).
It's what's on the inside that counts - and these shakes unreal flavours are exactly as good as you hope! They don't look anything flashy, nor perhaps is the enthusiasm behind the counter matching of the quality of milkshake, but don't be fooled. Well worth getting a snickers shake!
