Review The Sands Brewery Bar & Kitchen - Nelson

Had dinner here a couple times over the week. First time, sirloin steak with mushrooms. Absolutely devine, perfectly cooked and the mushrooms were the best ive ever tasted. 2nd time, pork belly. This just melted in my mouth, just amazing. Big shout out to the chef👍👍

Our group of 10 did a walk in with no booking. The staff were efficient and welcoming. The meals were of generous portions and our middle aged team did not have one complaint. We personally thanked the chef on departure. Highly recommend.

The food was tasty and well presented and in good sized portions. Price was slightly above average. The atmosphere was also good. Service was okay and prompt.

Great place with great meals, their burgers are to die for and are easily some of the best around. Good wheelchair access from the main road and it's easy to get to the bathrooms and the gaming room. Would definitely recommend :)

Absolutely glorious place! Been coming here since the day I moved to Nelson and been treated like a local from day dot. Awesome staff, awesome layout, awesome place. The urinal mats also smell divine

Came here for a quick snack. Host very kind and patient and explained all of the options, and even brought a sample for us to try first. Food ordered and came quickly tasted great but for us oldies portions too big. But that is not their fault but our small eating habits. Keep up the good work

Totally blown away $17.50 two gurnard and half a scoop. Beyond Happy to pay that a million times over, for the perfectly cooked FRESH fish coated in tempura style light crispy batter, steak cut fries also perfectly cooked and well drained. Huge portions and served in a cardboard tray before one layer of paper wrapping. Drove from pick up in tahuna back to stoke to our food still hot NOT soggy and enjoyed. Top form thanks for a great meal we will be back ☺️

Great meal and great service see u next time 👍

Lovely brunch. Staff really accommodating and friendly.

Awesome place to chill next to the beach, awesome food and quality you won't find elsewhere. Must stop for all your restaurant needs or if you simply want an ice cold beer, don't leave it in the sun though 😁. There is plenty of seating and a great environment to enjoy.

The Sands. My Family have made this our regular Breakfast Stop if we're in Nelson for more than a day. Excellent Food, Great Coffee an again Staff are Friendly, Polite an Professional. The Ladies are especially welcoming to my Elderly Mother who the Staff are only too happy to help with her something that I take note of and I quietly praise them and if I can I will tip as well. JUST A SIDE NOTE: (A Cafè/Bar or Restaurant could have the Best, Tastiest Food in the Country! But if the Staff even just one Staff member Disrespects an Elderly Person or any Person in my Presence or is rude an just not want to be standing there serving me because they're hungover or feeling poorly then Fake It!!!! Because I will call you out on your Attitude or Disrespect! Because I am that Girl, who will stand up for those who can't find their voice and also put on a smile 😃 You want too make your Customers feel like they matter too you! So you will bend over backwards to make sure they have an enjoyable experience) Some Staff I've encountered over the years makes me wonder why the hell they're in a 'Service Industry' well I know why really it boils down too money. Unfortunately we all need it too survive. Too the Sands Manager/Owner your Staff are excellent not one bad word too say. Keep up the good work an I look forward to visiting again soon. 😁👍
