Recently went their with a girlfriend after finding most places were closed late at night. Expected low quality bar food and service (especially from the reviews I saw) but was pleasantly surprised by good service and really nice tacos and fries. So good (though it gets a bit messy and leaks as you eat them) that I had cravings for their chicken tacos again. I returned with family and there were like 6 of us and though we were the only family there, the staff were again really friendly and accomodating. The sizes and quality of their food felt quite generous. We ordered food to share and I especially enjoyed the tacos (again), criss cross fries (i get excited whenever I see restaurants serving this), nachos (SO generous packed full of meat and salsa) and ribs (not the best, but still above-average). Had a pleasant night. Think I will be back.

Having $20 steak special on Mondays becoming my routine. Staff are friendly and attentive too. I like how they have TAB on the side you can enjoy drinks and pool table as well.

Amazing $20 deal on a Monday. This sirloin steak on a hot stone, hot stone is an awesome idea to prevent the chefs over or under doing steak. I came here a couple weeks ago by myself and the staff were super lovely, went out of their way to make sure everything was all good and to see if I needed anything else. So awesome that I brought my partner here Monday just gone and we both loved it! Beautiful set up. Great food. Amazing service 👍🏼

Went there for the 2 for 1 stone grill Monday. Like it~~ Apart from we were only told that you have to purchase a drink to get the deal when we get there, non of us drinks and there isn't alot of non alcoholic choices.

Relaxed atmosphere to catch up with friends. Close to the motorway.

Lovely place to eat, stone grill is always an adventure and it is done really well. 
I have been here multiple times and always received excellent service - particularly from John who is very friendly and on to it. 
Definitely coming back!

The food and service we received for lunch was of a standard we just didn't expect from a sports bar. The prawn salad was light and refreshing, as for the lamb shanks with garlic mash and veg - hearty food at its best 😏. Portions sizes for main meals were generous. Staff were kind and attentive. A partioned corner of the facility provides a tad more privacy when dining in; the noise, on the other hand, is what you'd typically expect at a sports bar. We had a good view of Valerie Adams' throw at the Rio Olympics on TV, awesome food and our fave drinks at the ready - need i say more?

A typically sports bar, good place to go and watch races & games. 
The kitchen was surprisingly good, didn't expect this good quality. Good size of portion, sirloin steak exactly medium as ordered. Fries nice crispy & golden brown. Yummy was the dessert, deep fried banana with vanilla & chocolate ice cream. We defiantly didn't leave hungry.

Went here for a quiz night
Such friendly staff and delicious bar snacks!
Ordered ale + apple cider along with a bowl of wedges and we thoroughly enjoyed it!
From the bar snacks we can only imagine the food from the main menu being just as good
We will definitely pay a visit !

First time here. Had the steak on the hot stone. It was lovely. Staff friendly and attentive service v.good. Chips were old and either overcooked or twice cooked. Couldnt eat them. I would have put the salad seperate to hot stone to be honest. Not a usual place to chose to eat with kids but good price food deals.

Have been here a few times, good range of beer on tap and decent food. Lots of screens showing various sports channels. Had a really good steak on last visit but kitchen closed before 9pm so couldn't get a dessert. Location a bit out of the way and not much parking Update: Another good meal, got good dessert also this time and yet again great service from Jessie (sp?), so natural and friendly

My favourite is the hot stone grill but I have tried a few others like the delicious burgers and Thai tacos. The food and service is excellent . And they have 2 nights of poker which is well run by nppl and lots of fun. (Sunday and 6pm and Monday at 7pm)

Staffs are friendly. Above average quality food also reasonable price. They do lunch special ($18.50 or $21.50 with drinks) and daily special everyday. I love their seafood/meat platter ($39.50 to share between two or three) and the Wild Buck lager (very cheap when you pop in at their Happy Hour)! It's one of my favourite place to hang out with friends after work. 👍👍

For a pub the food here is 10/10 have tried almost everything off the menu and not one dish was disappointing. Big portions and good price. Always fresh and delicious. Great spot to watch sports and have a drink. Even during busy times like UFC staff are always very efficient.

Surprisingly good pub food. We were in Auckland down from the North and we hadn't eaten all day. I saw the sign which said Bar and Grill and thought that it couldn't be too bad. It was surprisingly good food. It is a bar, so no ambience unless you like that, but the food was really good. I had a hamburger and chips. The hamburger was huge! The meat was very good. My husband had venison sliders which he loved. We also enjoyed a pint of cider. All in all a good place to grab lunch or dinner.

First visit here. Hopeless table service, had to order at the bar. However the food certainly made up for it, it was delicious and the meals were very large. Entree calamari was easily a main meal size. Spicy crumbed chicken Burger was also massive with 2 breasts, huge onion rings and bacon etc. I couldn't finish my meal. Super full. Def would visit again.

Decent food and good size portions. The steak fries are a little underwhelming and food can take a while to arrive. Not much parking available and need to order food at counter. The stone grill food options are pretty cool.
