Review Denniston Dog Restaurant & Bar - Westport

This place is super cosy and the service is great. Friendly west coast style. The prices are reasonable and the servings are generous. We both had the pork belly main and enjoyed it a lot. We would highly recommend.

Very nice food, delicious garlicbread and the fish and chips was also very good. Loved the chips 🍟!! Also the staff was very kind and helpfull.

We had lunch and dinner here and the food is very tasty. The team was friendly. Nice atmosphere. A must try when you are in Westport.

Yum food! The gravy in the Lamb Shank is so flavoursome, and mashed potato is soft. Sirloin Stonegrill, Prawn kebab and cide braised potatoes are all delicious! Even the sauteed greens are amazing as well! Very satisfied;)

A well known local bar and eatery. The menu is rustic with many kiwi favourites including stone based cooking for steak, tasty beef curry 🍛 and fish 🐟 of the day. Great service and facility layout for guest to socialise

Westport is graced with some excellent eating establishments. And the Denniston Dog would have to be my favourite. I have never walked away disappointed. The Food is delicious, Staff are excellent. Called in last week while I was in Buller for a few Beers and a Burger. Happy Hour made for some decent prices on drinks. Seemed to be more understaffed than usual on this crazy busy Friday night. But the Staff were attentive and friendly at all times. Food came out quick, and extra drink requests tended to promptly. The Denniston Dog has stayed consistently excellent over the years, and I highly recommend it! :)

Steaks and entrees were fantastic, massive serves! We ordered calamari and lamb croquettes, 400g stone grill rump and the 250g sirloin. Got a bit excited, should’ve halved the main. We are still talking about this meal a few days on. Only let down was the attitude of the senior male manager, he didn’t make us feel welcome.

My boyfriend loved the 400gram stone grill steak!! I think he'd eat it every day if he could. I had the Buddah bowl. It was a little small and definitely needed some protein added. They had the choice of falafel or chicken, but I got it without either (my mistake). Without protein I feel like it was more like a side dish.

The food was excellent whitebait was yumm chicken was yumm . The chips i would of preferred to have been bigger so less chance of over cooking them , but if that's the only complaint then we are all good. The staff were very pleasant and helpful . DOG friendly must be on a leash . Toilets were very clean. The menu had a wide variety of choices . Opening hrs vary from day to day , see one of the photos .

Stopped in for dinner at the Denniston Dog. Loved it. Awesome friendly staff were great to chat with and real quick with the service. We had the stone grill which was beautiful. The steak was excellent as you'd expect but the sides were equally good. Would love to try more on the menu. Great atmosphere in the cafe and the outdoor area looks good for a nice day. Can't wait to come back.

Arriving late in Westport it was great to find somewhere to eat a decent meal. The food was fabulous and we received such a warm welcome from staff. The service was great. Highly recommended.

I've always had top notch food here and is a regular haunt while in town. The food is great for the price you pay, but I do find the service is a little unprofessional at times. Never the less, I'll always go back.

Super great place, very busy, the steak is to die for,

Loved the atmosphere from when we walked in the door, lovely friendly staff food was awesome. Traveling around from Tassie

Absolutely loved the food. Mexican chicken tortilla and the kumara and cashew fritters.

Don't expect gourmet food here but that's not what this fine establishment is about. Tonnes of character, a bloody good meal and nice service. Happy to back :)

out for tea tonight great service lovely staff �

Lovely food and atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We arrived too early one visit, with two small children, and the staff even managed to get the children's order out early, along with an activity pack for them. Awesome!

The dinner was so good I didn't even take time to take pics! We went back for breakfast and it was just as fab.

Amazing food, great staff... nice atmosphere

The food was yum, but overpriced.. can't say we'll be dining here again

Amazing food! Service was good. Were lucky to get a table without a booking it was that busy!

Food is good friendly staff. Real mining town atmosphere. ..
