We chose this place for a meal as it shares a name from where we live 😀

Fortunately it has pretty decent grub.

Fish Burger, BB kang burger , fried chicken, salad with grilled chicken and some onion rings.

Food took a little while to come out, almost an hour.

The verdict in general was everything was tasty.

BB burger patties a little dry, not sure how that happened.
Fish burger was good.
Fried chicken was good moist chicken though a touch too much seasoning
Salad was good
Onion rings crisp and juicy inside.

Staff were friendly and service was good.

We would eat here again.

This place is a must come when visiting Queenstown!

The food is amazing, really really good chicken and chips, Chicken was well seasoned and the chips were quite nice too. The dipping sauce tasted a bit different although was a good extra! Salad was a bit too soaked in the dressing.

The fish and chips were really nice, well seasoned as well and the salad was definitely better than the side salad with the chicken.

Service is quite nice even on busy dinner hours, fast and efficient!

Is a bit of a noisy environment with tvs playing and lots of talking!

Overall a really nice place to go!
