Been here a couple of times mostly cause the proximity to where I live. Bit on the pricey side though so wouldn't recommend if you're on a tight budget. Fries are on point and the garlic mashed potato is pretty good too. The vegetarian pasta had some pretty thick lumps of cheese in it and though I love cheese it made it a bit cloying and overly greasy.
Service is pretty fast and atmosphere is nice. Good spot for families and couples alike
A kid friendly steak house. We like their duck, too. There duck salad is very yummy. Another must try dishes is potato skin
Nice food,cold beer, good service
Wow what an experience, just love the new owners and what they have done to the food, staff and the resturant is amazing. Service is just amazing and the food, o my gosh the food is just so good! Porterhouse Grill thank you so much, you guys rock!
Staff 4/10 I felt we were not served as attentively as other or even spoken in a good manner to perhaps bcz we seemed young (this is not an excuse though)
Environment 8/10 beautiful, relaxing & clean
Food 7/10 some dishes were decent while others were below average for the price you pay
The staff were so lovely and friendly I was waiting for my friend and I think they noticed I was waiting for awhile so they have me a free bowl of popcorn š the food was really good only problem I had was with my steak. I asked for medium I got medium rare other then that everything was lovely. Especially the scallops thank ladies for the awesome service ā¤
What can I say...Great steaks, excellent serving size and very friendly service. While the prices are on the steep side, itās actually pretty standard to what you would pay anywhere else for a good meal. We had the New Yorker, the eye fillet and the scotch and they were perfectly cooked. Scallops for entree were fresh and deliciously prepared and the setting was comfortable. Weād go back for a hearty meat based meal.
Honestly have nothing to fault at this place, everything was delicious even there salad which came as a side. Friendly staff and bonus my kids loved there meals aswell. Definetly making this place our new spot
Great deco and furnishings, clean and tidy with ample seating space. Lovely cocktails costing $13.50, tried the avalanche which was delicious and well made. Highly recommend that drink. The garlic loaf is delicious as well, tried the ribs with mash for dinner but unfortunately I didnāt care too much for the ribs. Wasnāt made to my liking although it was quite tender, well made and plentiful. Great restaurant to dine in though.
Very nice restaurant on the outside of pakuranga mall. Great for lunch or dinner. Nice ambiance for dinner with the famz or dates.
Food is pretty good i love the potato skins that come on the side with most meals.
Daily lunch specials available at cheaper prices. Service is high standard and have never had a problem when visiting here. Staff are friendly and food is good.
The food was excellent. Scallops were fresh and done perfectly. Buttery and melt in your mouth. My prime rib had great flavour in the seasoning, a tad underdone from my med-rare request but only just. I did not like the pepper sauce that came with it but the flavour of the steak on it's own was excellent. My partner had the cheddarmelt with a salad and enjoyed it. She really enjoyed the vinaigrette on the salad, said it was zesty which helped cut through the richness of the cheddarmelt. For desserts, we had the chocolate berry cake and lemon tart. The tart crust was really hard and the tart was bitter in some spots but other than that it was really good.
Staff are friendly, though you do have to call them over if you need something, they do not follow up.
The only real negative I'd say was my partner pricked her finger on an exposed nail under her chair.
I had an eye fillet with creamy mushroom sauce and mash potato. Also had seasonal vegetables for the side. I ordered my steak medium rare, and it was perfect. My kid had a kids steak, and she loved it. The staff were very kind. I think this is one of the best restaurants in Auckland.
Loved the atmosphere, portion size is massive for someone like me with an average appetite. Service was good, I suppose visiting as a part of a big group is somewhat challenging for both parties. Oreo cheesecake was mind blowing and their in-house lager was interesting.
Pleasantly surprised by the quality here despite being part of the mall! We ordered the NY strip, t-bone, beef cheek, spiced salmon and some sides. The steaks were cooked to a perfect medium-rare and tasted great with the mushroom and garlic sauces. The salmon was also quite tasty, although the portion was a bit small. The beef cheek was the real star though. So tender it just fell apart and didn't even need a knife! For the sides the cauliflower bites were great, however the potato skins were a tad too oily and didn't have enough potato in them. Big serving size for both though. Service was good not great, although that maybe partly due to our waiter being new. Food came out fairly quickly too which is always a bonus. Overall a good experience!

My experience at dining here swung from one extreme to the other in several areas.
The staff were really attentive and happy to turn the music down a smidge so that us oldies (in our 50ās) could chat more easily, but bless, the poor waitress didnāt know that Chardonnay was a white wine, and tried to serve my brotherās merlot to my sister-in-law. The plates for 3 of us were cleared away while one was still eating, which always just feels wrong, even if you want to give them credit for clearing the ādoneā dishes. But no real complaints here.
The salt & pepper calamari was probably the worst calamari dish Iāve eaten in my life. They say it is flash fried - well - the rings are sooooo thin, I think theyād be overcooked even if you had them in the pan/fryer for 5 seconds. There was no flavour of the calamari, just the dried crunch and flavour of the burned ādustingā. I was so disappointed and was now dreading my main.
But what a contrast. The Roquefort fillet was perfection. It was amazing. My brothers both had the lamb shanks and apart from saying that the shanks were a little anaemic and could have done with some browning at the start, they were very happy.
We will return - but definitely wonāt be ordering the calamari again.
We didn't get a chance to eat here but the staff were very gracious in allowing us to sit underneath their heated seats and chill for a bit - in addition to using their facilities. Kudos for the excellent customer service. We'll be back soon to enjoy the food as well!
Located in Pakuranga, Auckland this special home of food was a great choice.
Steak, assortment of seafood and other choices ensures everyone has something to choose from. Friendly staff and a popular good food, you'll be best to call ahead and secure your seat.
The layout helps to give you a range of options, so if it's a nice out with the crew, date night or a family feed, you'll find plenty of room for you and co.
Amazing food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. All round great place to dine
We had a wonderful dinner date at Porterhouse. Staff is exceptional and the food is amazing. We had to thank the chef Doug and his staff for the delicious food. Berry pudding was divine. Best place to go if you want a food coma. Loved the garlic bread and buffalo wing's.
If happy hour could start at 6pm would be nicer. We had friends over for dinner from USA and they wanted to eat a good NZ steak. No better place than Porterhouse Grill.
2 more staff on the shift would help share the load. Staff were looking quite fatigued almost at the end.
The young man and the younger girl on the Tuesday night were still smiling and 5stars for them and their positive attitude towards our table.
